NEW WORLD


I would like to take shelter
In a far away land like Jupiter
I have read somewhere in net
That it's a unique planet.

World has become full with hatred
Even God has begun to regret
Adam's sons have become butchers
For a trifle thing he murders

Women are not safe here today
Children are raped-old men are not gay
Kidnappings are the order of the day
Even poor are not spared-they have to pay

Random lying has become a fashion
Love prevails here but without passion
Dishonesty has reached its zenith point
Looting property has become prevalent.

Soul of people has become dark and pale
Virtue is absent and vice is in the market for sale
Honesty has become a rare commodity
Religion has lost its age-old sanctity

Some people are still good in the world
They still follow-what is said by the herald
Searching a new world is the first priority
For those who maintain sanctity and clarity
