HUMAN CONSTRUCTION IN MATERIALISTIC WORLD

Two sockets to accommodate a pair of eyes

Due to them this complex device cries

But today, man has taught them to become spies

Dwelling in them is lust for ephemeral joys

 

Two cartilaginous sound receivers on both sides

They can efficiently detect the screams and sighs

But today, they even ignore the ferocious tides

Engrossed in fabrications, for which today’s man strives

 

Two arms strong enough to lift and support

Are being used to steal and chop someone’s throat

They refuse to help anyone near or remote

‘Guns and shells’, this is what they promote

 

A small fleshy speaker which exhibits perfect duality

It allures others through its’ pitch and clarity

Today, it has mastered the skills of acerbity

Forgetting that soft speech is a part of generosity

 

A complex storehouse of feelings which supplies blood

It is covered with rust although made from mud

Polluted intentions have made it their cozy hut

Very delicate, but today, it is like a walnut

 

At last, a rotten soul which is wandering aimlessly

It has thirst for contentment and tranquillity

But today, man considers wealth as a source of felicity

I shed tears when I can’t find humanity and piety
