Why Not

What was wrong in his matter?
Your brain starts to burn,
Your heartbeat smokes noise,
Your tongue flamed on him.

What did he said to you?
He was explaining about himself,
He felt, poverty is curse,
The system is glutting his rights.

Why did you think about it?
He is blaming to your ancestors,
Who created such traditions?
They posed barriers for gains.

What is wrong in his cry?
Why do you not like to hear his pain?
If a person is injured and crying for help,
What is wrong in his matter?
