Where am I?

Where am I..?

I am here

where the sun shines and the rain falls

where the mosques and the church halls

are all empty because the greed calls

Yes I am here

in this world where there is hunger and pain

where the poor are suffering and the rich insane

where the morality of society is on the wane..!

Alas Indeed I am here

Where the love has totally lost its meaning

Where the broken hearts are loudly screaming

And our souls need a thorough cleaning

Oh God why am I here?

Is it hell or am I dreaming?

Why are we all so selfish and demeaning?

And why superficiality is so proudly gleaming?

Oh God please NO..!

I don't want to grow like them

even if it means that I remain a stem

And die before I could see the world or hold a pen

That's where I am..!!

And that's where I will be until my time comes

Until then I'll just have to keep humming those worldly hums

Alas that's where I am and that's where I will be until my time comes..!!

But wait...!

I see a light

I feel that I can change the world and put it right

So please God give me strength and help me fight

The darkness and the evil so that the world is pure and bright

And YES I am here, where I will strive until my last night..!!
