THE PRESENT AGE AND THE NEED FOR CHANGE

Jingling mood,
Blood pressure up-down,
The environs are polluted!

Worried looks,
Cost of living burdens,
Unjust policies -- atrocious!

Working man,
And working women,
Sweating for their dependents!

Poverty,
And living standards,
Worsened by Internet scams!

Child labour,
Inequality mocks,
At the vicegerents of God!

Evil rules,
Rich ones' hearts and minds,
Even Lucifer is surprised!

Neighbour's woes,
And his problems are,
Increased by 'coveted' wife!

Indecent
Proposals abound,
While I hide my swelling tears!

Is this what,
This world's progress means?
If so, then doomsday is near!

Why blame God?
Why not look within,
Or seek replies from mirrors?

Adam, Eve,
Fell for one error,
Can evil ones count their own?

O my heart!
Grieve not but avoid,
All false values... do your best!

Stay inspired,
And make my blood ink,
The pen is mightier than swords!

Possibly,
This poem may make some,
To do their bit to bring change!
