Loneliness Is Killing Everyone Poem by RONY PATRA

“Loneliness is killing everyone, loneliness is killing everyone”
So sang Himesh Reshammiya, India’s favourite nasal son
Though truth be told, he was spot on with that one
Because loneliness does INDEED kill everyone

Loneliness is killing everyone
It has no friends, it spares no one
A person’s world turns upside down, because of it
He cannot cope with his social life taking a hit

The Blessed Teresa of Calcutta had once proclaimed
That a lonely person is always socially maimed
In this regard, with her we couldn’t agree more
In life, loneliness is a lethal suppurating sore

Company is a basic necessity, like food or water
It could be anyone….mother, son or daughter
With whom a person can share his innermost thoughts
It would help him untie life’s multiple knots

Jesus Christ had once said, “Love thy neighbour”
Why are there people then, for whom no love we harbour?
We must shower love, give each other company
So that no soul gets ripped apart by lonesome agony
