Huge throng

Caught between two opposing forces

Be benign
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2020
I question myself?

Can't our actions and

deeds be benign

Can't our appraisal

of others be benign

Can't our expectations

of others be benign

Can't our treatment of

Elderly be benign

Can't our treatment of

Poor be benign

Why wouldn't it be possible for us

to create a society that is benign to

every one of its members, in all facets

of life, consistently?

Life's wheels are moving backwards.
