Loss Or Gain Poem by VIJAY KUMAR ROY

Honesty weeps bitterly
Morality repents for its fate
Spirituality hides in a corner
Virtue has lost its power
Values change their track.
The world has become a market
Everything has its own price
Humanity and cultural sensibility
Have fear of the addiction of so called modernity.
Right has fear of might
Pen has fear of sword
Learning has fear of wealth
External beauty has internal cruelty.
What a life we are leading
Is this losing or gaining?
