AMBIENCE OF MY JOLTED LAND

Thick clouds of fear and terror are around

Least bothered are those who have been crowned

Sighs of grief and pain still remain unheard

Deprived of peace is this unfortunate world

 

Emaciated stomachs and parched tongues long for food

People are forced to swallow things which are crude

Wealth is the possession of those who are shrewd

Fate of the poor, depends solely on their mood

 

Even the firmament has lost its’ pacifying beauty

Succession of drones has shattered the serenity

To make it worse, there came a natural calamity

Another opportunity to establish a show of charity

 

The rivers also wept as much as they could

It’s our responsibility to do more than we should

In fact, if we won’t help then no one would

‘Shelter’, a far cry, atleast give them a hood

 

Searching for helping hands many died in water

The fierce waves got together and decided to batter

For humans, it should be a serious matter

Do implement what you say to make things better

 

Such is the ambience of my jolted land

The need of the hour is a caressing hand

As, distraught with dismay are those on this sand

Rise and rebuild their dreams just as they planned
