Hope in hopelessness
Souls are craving to breath in air a little fresh.
But the air is polluted
By the smoke of injustice
Unruliness, suppression and lie.
How can we inhale
The breeze of the morn and the eve?
The wind is giving the smell of rotten things
Then how can we breathe and how can we live?
Illegal power, money and wealth
Are killing humanity and human rights.
The present world is experiencing silently the all.
Musclemen are amassing wealth
Depriving downtrodden, middleclass and the poor as well.
And the right of the people crying in vain.
But amidst this hopelessness there is a hope
With great Shelley can’t we say
‘If winter comes can spring be far behind?’
Surely, surely the spring will come
Demolishing injustice, deprivation and lie.
