My World Poem by Manoj Srinivas Gopalakrishna

The world I live in is corrupt to the core
So much that the breath I exhale is scared to come out
There are sadists, rapists, dacoits, terrorists, the list is never ending
So unfortunate it has become, to differentiate between good and bad
Wars are being fought over religion and women
By people who are not religious and for women that is not theirs
This is happening since time immemorial
Why does history keeps repeating itself
Millions of years of evolution has changed nothing at all
Is it literacy is it ignorance is it illiteracy, I still can't understand
Born with 5 senses is not enough after all
People are no different than the animals in the wild
Justification is a shameful act but people have nothing left to react
In mankind there is not an ounce of kind left
Where is the Human, he is long dead and gone.
