It is indeed a mad mad world
A world that talks of love
But only knows lust.
A world that speaks
of the benefit of being positive
but only makes others negative.

It is indeed a mad mad world
A world that talks of protecting animals
But only knows how to torture them.
A world that speaks
Of love and compassion
But only does it as a matter of fashion.

It is indeed a mad mad world
A world that talks of protecting nature
But only knows pollution and degradation
A world that speaks
Of going back to nature
But only destroys all hope for the future.

It is indeed a mad mad world
A world that talks of brotherhood
But only knows hate and destruction
A world that speaks
Of unity and hope
But then hangs the victim on a rope.

It is indeed a mad mad world
A world that talks of equality
But only knows caste and discrimination
A world that speaks
Of all men being the same
But then provides reservation*, Oh! what a shame!
*reservation here refers to the caste based quota of allocation in jobs and educational institutions. Though I belong to a so called Backward caste in my country, I refuse to accept any of the benefits of such reservation for me as well as my kids for I believe such a policy of reservation is destroying quality of Human Resources in my Country...
