Countless times we spot Women on streets in rags Impoverished and famished Infants ******* their empty ******* Otherwise pretty but circumstances ugly Causing anguish, deep distress But we still look away ! Countless times we encounter Children on streets instead of schools Hungry, shabby and unhealthy Eyes speaking million sad stories Otherwise naive but circumstances tragic Eliciting deep sympathy But we still look away ! Countless times we observe men Wandering aimlessly Rustic, crude and cynical Bursting with energy but unemployed Otherwise hopeful but circumstances adverse So soul rending But we still look away! Poverty, illiteracy unemployment Forming a vicious loop Social conscience navigates Whispers panacea Teach one, feed one Moral imperative calls But then, why look away ?

LET US NOT LOOK AWAY!
Countless times we spot Women on streets in rags Impoverished and famished Infants ******* their empty ******* Otherwise pretty but circumstances ugly Causing anguish, deep distress But we still look away ! Countless times we encounter Children on streets instead of schools Hungry, shabby and unhealthy Eyes speaking million sad stories Otherwise naive but circumstances tragic Eliciting deep sympathy But we still look away ! Countless times we observe men Wandering aimlessly Rustic, crude and cynical Bursting with energy but unemployed Otherwise hopeful but circumstances adverse So soul rending But we still look away! Poverty, illiteracy unemployment Forming a vicious loop Social conscience navigates Whispers panacea Teach one, feed one Moral imperative calls But then, why look away ?
