Reality

It may needs more than cleverness and insanity

To determine whether the glass is half full or half empty

But it just needs something higher than stupidity

To tell everyone what’s wrong with our community

You’ll heard it now and then, you’ll see it daily

All those murders, rape and those kinds of cruelty

What worst is about that daylight robbery

About corruption, leakages and cases of bribery

Have we ever thought about penury and poverty?

All those people living in sadness and misery

Living hard to make ends meet, about the difficulty

Struggle between keeping life in faith, about morality

Don’t say that you care, never talk about sympathy

Be in their shoes, and then you can explain about empathy

All this got nothing to do, nothing ever close to charity

Damn it! Admit it; this is definitely your responsibility

We have yet to talk about effectiveness and efficiency

And measures to close those gaps and inadequacy

We talk and we talk but nothing about accountability

Where people becomes doubt, more about ambiguity

We talk and we say about maintaining the democracy

But our hands were stained with bloods of tyranny

We say it loud, we strive to be heard, the audibility

But given chances,  we can’t control the profanity

We boast about what we do, what we achieve in technology

But does it make sense to people living in fear and anxiety

We forgot our task in life; we forgot our oath to our God the almighty

We know we’re going to die, but we act like we’re going to live to eternity
