THE WORLD AROUND US

October 15, 2010 Off By Asma Shahid

A dilemma of hues and cries
A replica of ice cold eyes
An era of hatred and discord
A threshold impossible to afford

It’s the scenario around you and me
Its so worst anything could be

Bloodsheds numberless flow by
No one takes time to look and sigh

Turn a deaf ear to humanities cry
Become so rude…O you man why?

You kill your fellowmen one by one
For reasons foolish or just for fun?

Covering earth with red shroud
Violence the only matter of proud

O men earth is wounded, heal it
Earth is an orange but don’t peal it

Give peace a chance and let it prevail
Or else to make survive ,it shall fail
