CHANGING TIMES

iraqup.com_20090318_xHRiG-0d46_147463641


I have certain questions to ask
Which I think is quite a tough task
But still, I am going to commence
and will try, not to cross the fence

Somebody please explain me in depth,
the baffling relation between life and death
What it takes to reach to GOD
Prayer! Patience! or again, the Fraud!

What has happened to world at all?
Why the hearts have become so small?
Why is life running so fast?
Leaving everyone confused and aghast

Why is humanity finding hard to stand?
How can we become so utterly bland?
When did greed establish the upper hand?
Do here also we need some magic wand?

Colours of friendship have started to fade
Where have gone the stones of jade?
Losing himself by running so fast
Why is man afraid to promenade?

I always think standing at sea shore
Why is no one respected anymore?
Where is decency? Where are the manners?
Have they also got buried under the banners?

Why the people who were once filled with verve
Now finding it hard to hold their nerve?
Natural beauties are losing their charm
Let me know who has caused this harm

But still some people follow the tradition
Let me ask them the exact reason
Do they also feel like me?
Then how are they living in such misery?

To get the answers, I have started the hunt
Yes, I am ready to bear the brunt
So as to re-widen this space
And get my earth to the happy old days…..
