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

On this Earth, kids are blinded; men are jailed
Women are molested; the old are tortured

Luckily, You have a home and a steak to fry
Billions starve and live under the frigid Sky

Their dreams are being blurred
And their voices are unheard

Here, wild jungles of wars wound the soul of humanity
Sighs take over the throne of sweetest Melody

Deluges of tears wash off the rainbows of joy
And Sun refuses to shine on plumb mountains like a playboy

Yet you say world is beautiful?
That it is benign and bountiful?

Yes, for you… as you are at peace!
Come out of your little palace

And you will find...
Sky painting itself red...!

Butterflies renouncing their dreams
Birds with trimmed wings
Blood ocean, barren trees, burnt houses,
Teared eyes, and shattered bodies….

People live their lives in fear everywhere
Along Palestine, Syria, Yemen and Kashmir

Earth is ugly, jinxed and savage
For humanity sobs; her soul is damaged
