Today, I Find Myself In... Poem by Vaibhav Simha

Today, I find myself in the chasm of misunderstandings,
All because I did not bother about other's feelings.
Today, I find my friend's family suffer,
Only because I did not help them to recover.
Today, I find myself guilty of one's death,
Because I did not save him when he was on the verge of taking his final breath.
Today, I find most of my countrymen impoverished,
As I was foolish to be selfish.
Today, I find my planet die,
All because I helped her get covered under a smoky dye.
Today, I find that I'm no longer a human being,
Only because I did nothing while someone was eternally leaving.
Today, I find myself in a dream,
Because I no longer see my planet's sprawling fields green.
Today, I find myself in an oblivion,
As I ignored and insulted my neighbouring civilian.

And with this heartbreaking list,
I resolve to clear this terrible mist.
But I shall never forget my dear losses;
From now, I shall learn from my mistakes.
But as this statement remains true:
Time never returns but can change brown to blue.
I have to continue and forget my past,
So that the rest of my life does blissfully last
