The Current State of the World
A macabre dance unfolds
In the name of caste, language, and religion;
Across the globe plays out
The vile ritual of the struggle for material gain.
Every being is in anguish,
Haunted by the fear of losing everything.
The age is tormented by the loss of identity,
By the burning of Nalanda,
By the crumbling of Taxila,
By the threat to human existence itself.
Darkness has cast its shadow all around;
Who is there to light a lamp?
When the darkness flees,
A new dawn shall break,
And life shall sing a song of happiness and peace.
