Worldly People

Alas! This World is not for me
Life among people surrounding me is gloomy
All my efforts to cope up are not bloomy
That's why I suffer like someone has broken my knee

Alas! I am not like the worldly people
They surround me like flesh eating eagle
They terrify me, as to them, it is legal
People & me, we are two sides of river which stay apart and are gleeful

Alas! I am unable to find peace
I know, it is within me like sweet choclate burfi piece
But, I search it in worldly people & wait for it to be released
That's why my search has not come to cease

Alas! I have learnt to manage
I have learnt to take advantage
Oh people, don't think it is my fault
You all have dragged me to this path

Such an interesting pen Mamta! And yet seeks truth. Alas, this world is changing and changing in a gloomy way. People have been seeking for their advantages and going through non-holy ways. Have a great day my new poet friend! :)
