My Desire To Live Poem by Charnjit Patialvi

MY Desire To Live

Once I had desire to live,
When I was a kid,
I had dreams unlimited,
Then, I loved nature so great,
Wandering in the lap of nature,
Enjoying the feast of eyes,
Places, people and world I saw,
Differently they looked,
Charming me with their looks,
I captured them in my eyes,
Forever they all remained,
So I desired to live more,
To witness the world of love,
The young heart throbbing for each other, I saw,
Holding their breath and hands together,
Promising to live and die,
But, people chase them like detested kites,
Killing them for honor,
It shook me hard and intense,
What had saints preached?
‘Love and Peace is all you need,
World is hell without, ’
And still I desired to live,
To try out with service to mankind,
Showing the path of love and compassion,
But the world is stubborn and cruel,
Hanged the saints, crucified Christ,
Beheaded the truth, stoned the innocents and virtues,
Still they say we love you,
Alas, I have lost the desire to live,
This was never my dream,
The world is full of fraud, mistrust and infidelity,
All you beget is hypocrisy,
God are you there? I wonder,
Or have been impersonated I fear,
I do not desire to live any more.
I do not want to live in this world.
