Is This Life? Poem by Sruthi Sahadevan

Is This Life?



Is happiness something that is unfamiliar to us, humans?
Are we born to shed endless tears?
To look into the void of darkness?
Has laughter disappeared from this world?
Is war prevailing and ruling now?
Is there no peace?
Is there no love and integrity?
Are we all alone in this era of population explosion?
Why don’t the forests look greener any longer?
Why has the sky lost its ethereal blue?
Why are the clouds casting their
dismal spell over the world?
Life has lost its meaning,
its essence.
Lights of hope are being put out.
Darkness prevailing everywhere,
People are being fooled by people.
People are being killed by people.
People are being blindfolded by people.
Rebels are being created by people.
So, aren’t we our own enemies?

There's lot happening in the World. But if you see around, you don't see that everywhere. People are still so helpful, so caring, and go way out to help.....
