Asylum Earth Poem by Dr Hitesh Sheth
Asylum Earth
Frustrated I stood in front
of the God to Pray,
And asked him why lunatics
are increasing day by day.
Why there is scarcity
of people in a synagogue,
Why popping up of
Prozac is in a vogue.
Why people look as they
are coming from morgue,
Why all minds are clouded
by the depression’s fog.
Then, God appeared suddenly
with his mischievous smile,
And he started to speak
in his inimitable style:
“Son! this earth is nothing
but asylum of the universe
But for marketing my poets
described it in beautiful verse.
But most fools are the people
who claim to be wise,
And labors to turn this asylum
in a pretty paradise.
But thing which fills me
with a gaiety and mirth,
Is your construction of an
asylum within an asylum earth.”
“Do you know why this asylum
earth is devoid of joy and fun?
Because men who turned wise
are poisoned or shot by guns.
Unless and until you
immediately rectify your error,
This earth cannot be freed from
madness, anxiety and terror.
Benumbed by god’s answer
I immediately left his premise,
In order to prevent becoming
one more mad wise.

So true love it.. I love the form of it and all the facts applied great write Krista
Very true portray of so called modern world with political oppression.You have described the factual chronicle of todays world where people have really forgotten the moral values and self evaluate themselves as if they are everthing and never acknowledge others.The poem depicts the contemporary behaviour of self-centeredness and cruelty which has entangled the whole mankind with people getting so furious at times and carve hatred and odium on their hearts.Your state of frustration is so true, yet, this earth could been a heaven had mankind been sincere with God. But the humankind have turned it into an Asylum......10/10.
good narartion..and equally good thought brought down in wonderful words..
Dr. Hitesh, I loved this poem. I think 'all our yesterdays have lighted fools', let us hope we grow wiser today. A dialogue with a punch. CP

“Son! this earth is nothing but asylum of the universe But for marketing my poets described it in beautiful verse...... beautiful write with deep sense of thoughts....10 read mine why do we neglect nataure?
I try every day not to be a lunatic....your excellent poem should help me in this endeavor.
Your writing features a touch of satire, alongside a deep and melancholy awareness of the bad forces around us - loved the read
Not surprising your pain shows in this confession; It has also something to do with your profession. Mankind's story is littered with woes; Do I believe in God? God knows.
