Around Here


Lying deep in thoughts
Not knowing what to do
An unknown fear calls me from distance
Am I ready for it yet?

Around me, I see people
People with dreams, aspirations
People with ideas and creations.
But, where do I stand among those
Am I even counted?

Around me, I see the nature
Nature that has transformed
Itself into a complicated caricature.
Everyone is yearning for the green
But the green is nowhere to be seen.

Around me, I see the developments
Developments in every possible field
But every day when I walk
Down the road,
I still see children, craving for
Two square meals.

Around me, I see politics
The desire for power
Power in every possible means.
Yet, when it comes to taking
Responsibility, I only see them
Playing the blame game.

Modern Life is a subtle irony
With the long glory,
Comes the deep dark fear,
The developments lead to
More and more complications
With only a way to enter
But no exit.
