Acid Test

Are we not becoming intolerant society? Gruesome murders, riots stabbing –all in different varieties? May be it has become part of our life and necessities Everybody wants to capitalize and understands its futility On the name of religion, we simply kill each other Humanity on run and no one takes care or bother Shame, hatred curse all have taken front seat No regrets on face – see face to face and sit What makes it so difficult to meet each other? Have we gone berserk and unnecessarily differ Have we nothing new to see and offer? Why unpleasant things in life to utter? We may not find answer to this or solution We have no means to for evaluation Morality is no where and has lost the ground Near is near miss and no whereto be found We can’t tolerate the well being of others Frustration and worries all that bothers us We don’t find ways to satisfy ourselves We talk different and abnormally behave Thousands are killed in day light scene Flash with bodies scattered and all over seen May be we still don’t need peace or respite Nature has turned blind eye on us to ignite Have we gone crazy over the issues? Does humanity demand no dues? Are we in state of shock and despair? Can we not build trust or repair? Will this not stop in days to come? Will our efforts fail and or are not welcome? Do we need complete annihilation from surface? Is it right path or we call it mad race? With so much bitterness, kill or get killed Traitors and terrorists get rejoice and thrilled Innocents and passers by face the wrath Meet with ugly fate in the form of death Is ethnic cleansing only way out? Is it not the challenge and we face the rout? What is all this nonsense and war talk about? Why do we face unseasonal rain and drought? Are we not wholly to be blamed? Bloodbath in the name of peace claimed Still many more lives may be lost No solution in sight despite staggering cost Take it for granted humanity may survive Existence with harmony and peace may revive It may incur losses with constant unrest Time is essence but powerful acid test We may love to live to endure All best efforts to strengthen and secure Make it worthy as our best future Our future generation may have happy tenure
