The Winds
Morals, ethics, beliefs, principles
are scattered all over,
Innocence
is blown off miles away,
Conscience
is ripped wide apart,
Happiness
lives in the bucks,
Religion
is an illusion,
Contentment
is no more,
Politics
is the name of the game,
Purity
is tainted.
-‘Tis is what they’ve done.
Those winds,
the winds of change.
Changing
seasons of the year
and eras of the world.
Warm innocent faces
are lost in the crowd
Ice age has come
-Freezing the blood,
the hearts
and the souls
And the stone eyes
just observe the trends.
Sole survivor is,
the ruthless
the evil
the cruel
the corrupt
the superpower,
the brain.
A life entirely focused
on material gains
on any and every cost.
Greed is eternal.
And love is on conditions.
A chilly, bitter silence
is killing the society.
Is this the silence
before the storm?
A storm of destruction
A storm of erosion....
-A soul igniting question!
Exploitation
in the name of love,
Immorality
in the name of freedom,
Polemics
in the name of politics,
Ditching
in the name of change.
Where has humanity stepped?
What season
have these winds brought in our lives?
A season of progress
or a season of erosion?
-An enigma yet to be solved.
When will we be liberated
from these chains of hypocrisy?
And feel by heart and not the brain.
When will we be able to breathe air
fresh and pure
as ever before?
And be bound tight
in the delicate fibers of love
that once glued
one man to another
and one nation to another.
When will we learn
that violence is no solution?
When will we be able to look beyond the visible?
When will the light of the virtues
dawn on our dark lives?
When will the magic be recreated ?
When will the winds of love,
the winds of joy
blow over our lives?
And change these winters
into spring once again?
When...?
