Mugdha Khedkar - Strange World

Like a coin, two sides our world has got,
Here, they exist together, in a coin they do not.

On one hand, we say there is modernization
On the other, people live with starvation.

With education, we are developing,
Some people are unaware of everything.

Sophisticated people are respected,
Superstitious villagers are neglected.

Some people are very soft and kind,
While some are the worst we can ever find.

Besides a river of blood, one painfully wails,
However in some places, peace still prevails.

Some people have a lot of money due to their greed
Some don't even have enough to satisfy their need.

Still everyone's life goes on with the same pace.
This world is indeed a strange place.
