Screams, Screeches, groans and wails
Let me tell you Agonies’ tales
And of bullets, bombs and pellet guns
For a person with Heart must know these pains
kids are blinded; men are jailed..
Women are molested; the old are tortured..
Lucky, You have a home and a steak to fry
Billions starve and sleep under the frigid Sky
Jungles of wars are scrambling Humanity
Sighs are ruling the throne of sweet Melodies
Deluges of Tears removing the rainbows of joy
Atrocities bewitching the innocent lives to get destroy
Yet you say this world is beautiful.. ?
That it is benign and bountiful...?
May be yeah… for you... as you are at peace!
Come out of your little Palace...
And you will see...
Sky painting itself red...!
Butterflies renouncing their dreams...
Birds with trimmed wings...
Blood ocean... barren trees... burnt houses...
Teared eyes... and shattered bodies….
Earth is ugly .... Eartians savage...
Earth is a cage...
Earth is but a jixed place....!!

Say what you want to say,
I love this land
From sea to shining sea
Welcoming sinners and saints.
It wasn't the indigenous Indians turning their backs
It wasn't the land that hung and dismembered us
It wasn't these shores that drowned our dreams;
The winds of change never held its breath, while
Alchemist "white supremist" dreamt up injustices to men.
Say what you want to say,
I love this land my ancestors cultivated
Here we stand transparent
Transforming market of our mind, while
Shame stood shameless
Hugged podium carved by the poor.
The silent sound of ancient tears, like
Rivers running from debris of the enemy;
Poseidon would be pissed; drunk with disgust
The "Transpopulantic" passage a graveyard,
The ghost of the innocent took no hostages -
Who would build bridges to reciprocity?
Say what you want to say,
I love this land
Vast as the Atlantic Ocean;
Who will hold garden gates ajar?
Remorse is like a rose, scented or unscented.

Never be afraid to speak the truth
Never be afraid to point out wrongs
But accept that other may not agree
But that doesn't mean you should back down on what you perceive
But always listen to all sides
With open an mind and eyes,
Then you have all the knowledge that you need to decide
Whether what you believe it is wrong or right,
Never be too inflexible or ever deny
That you got it wrong and you failed to see the other side
But don't be bullied or cajoled when right
To ever back down be strong and shine a light
On injustices and acts that are just wrong
And never be afraid to make a stand and be strong,
For it's the only way to create a fair and righteous world
It's the only way to put an end to suffering,
So always point out wrongs
And never be afraid
You just need to be brave.
Injustices just break my heart.
Do they affect you?
Make you sad?

Why do some put others down
do wrong with spiteful intent?
why do we get terrible storms
that wipe out whole villages?
See the poor homeless man
once his life was full
now he sits and begs
for a slice or two of bread
The young girl who only gets abused
what has she done to be treated so?
to have to live in fear every day
wondering when it will happen again?
Some people live lives of plenty
never caring anything for others
thinking I am ok in my safe world
its not my problem I don't care
Sometimes I want to rant and rave
against all of life's injustices
the foulness that surrounds
the evil deeds committed daily
