The World Today Poem by kanav justa
The World Today
the withering heights of fading grace
a mirror not reflect all, but only the face
we turn to dust what wise men say
skins and bones they wither away
despite knowing the answers all
we tread on a path where we bound to fall
when truth lay close, we close our eyes
our sight lighten when it meets the lies
of all the miseries when this world is done
our night will eat the glittering sun
the world today is a world of shame
the world today would forever be the same
where a fortress never built on a bedrock of trust
where no gold enough to slay the thirst
where death gives more joy than a child when born
where heart loves to keep another forlorn
where tongue says of love but inside there is lust
Where time help us to quietly rust
Where we dream to conquer the sky above
with swords and guns, not faith and love
from heart and soul we would always be lame
the world today would forever be the same
with the might of the eye we look afar
abandon the things which near they are
thinks a fool when like a wise
we never see the world by his eyes
not every light can light a soul
we sink like water through a hole
here joy for me is sorrow for you
the world is cold like morning dew
where we love to write we love to blame
world today would forever be the same
A hardhitting poem on tday's selfish cruel world. The 3rd stanza was esp admirable, which ends with gun n swords. Lets hope 2o14 people learn to luv not hate.
with swords and guns, not faith and love.............an amazing poem again from your pen.
world today would be forever be the same, the people strive only for fame, hiding in the shadow of his shame, spraying perfume in his name. :) nice write. thanks for sharing.
A perfect picture of the world as on date. Very frankly as I see that the good things on his earth are gradually sinking day by day... very good penning.
" tongue says of love but inside there is " forthright, on the target like an arrow.
