10. These Lies

Dedicated to zaimat31.
We all come across lies and deceit. But even in such a situation, we cannot afford to lose hope and cry at our being. Rather, we must buckle up and use whatever tools we have, to start building a better tomorrow and soon enough, others shall also follow.😊

I was a fool to think that
This world was filled with butterflies.

Yes, I was naive
Only so much I could surmise.

Today life hit me hard
It opened my yet closed eyes.

For what I saw, was not a good sight
Everywhere only hatred and despise.

Sorrow and desolation abound
The only thing I could now hear, were cries.

A place sans morals- this earth has become
Where wrong is considered a way of life.

Seven billion people
Fourteen billion- exact count of Disguise.

I cannot stop but laugh
When I see us call ourselves civilised.

I believe that it is high time
We own up to our mistakes and apologize.

We still have some time,
Let's begin by cutting away horrid, past ties.

Better late than never
Our plans- we need to revise.

Let us all endeavour as one,
So that humanity's boat doesn't capsize.

And then just like a happy surprise
We will sail under new skies,
By the first light of tomorrow's sunrise!
