These are
times, many children around the world
Are just a
mosquito bite away from death.
Obama knows
the predicament, for he shared so
But the
United Nations in unison
How to
address it, doesn’t know!
These are
times, tomorrow’s headlines are known today
For the
world has become predictable in crime.
But we
don’t know what’s in store tomorrow
To save
that child from the biting mosquito!
A father losing his
dreams,
Even as he runs away in
fear.
Seeing this painful
truth
Hearts are swollen with
tear.
These are
times, children from many countries
Like
monsoon fish, are found on beach.
People are
willing to risk their lives
Merely to
continue to live in peace!
A child, who wanted
freedom from war
A war he didn’t create
nor preach
A child in search of
home and food
Found lying dead on a
beach.
These are times, yesterday’s deeds are breaking news
As crimes
repeat and turn ghastlier.
When an 11-year-old
American shot a 9 year old, the other day
Even Obama
knew not what to say!
Even as humanity is
devastated;
Let compassion not
drown
Mankind is ashamed, I
say
Rest in peace, little
Aylan!
I am wordless to express how much this piece got into my heart.
ReplyDeleteMan he is who burns himself to make others smile

You have rightly defined in three words- Mankind.
"Mankind is ashamed".
Priceless is your vision
Priceless is your imagination
"These are times, children from many countries
Like monsoon fish, are found on beach.
People are willing to risk their lives
Merely to continue to live in peace!"
True-very true lozenge to the world at-large
And, to all those sadistic faces.
"These are times, tomorrow’s headlines are known today
For the world has become predictable in crime."
Freedom is not free
But, the wisdom is-
Wisdom should rule
Pen should awake-
Minds like yours must burst
Thus, the success, happiness, progress and peace
Become the Banner News- and the Breaking News
Elsewhere!
Overall this short, but vast, piece makes many people like me unnerved.
So aptly underlined the real picture of the competitive present world.
Thank you for your encouragement, Rup. Coming from a man of letters, I value your comments highly!
