On the reality of the present world

SO SADDENING!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

As I have written in the poem above, inspired as the evening departed and nightfall came, I am truly moving further and further away from this temporal world and counting my days to the grave. After all that is where I and you -- all of us -- have to go, wrapped in a shroud. Then why lose time in running after worldliness like wild hunting hounds after a fox? Of what use? We have forgotten our sad ending and that is why there is so much inequality, injustice, wars, fueds, deception and evil in this world of ours -- more than at any time else. A visit to the graveyards also does not move us deep inside. Well, it has moved me a lot....The title of the poem is appropriately SO SADDENING...INDEED!
