Hope

Alone I stand in this dark full moon night,

looking aghast at the dreadful sight;

not a bird, not a tree

not a living being i see.

For the innocent paid,

for the guilty’s guilt;

and man destroyed the world,

which he had never built.

For ages he has fought,

mercilessly with each other;

friend killing friend,

brother killing brother.

He fought through the day,

didn’t spare even the night;

he fought till his death,

asif born only to fight.

He has made the earth bleed,

and made the sky cry with ire;

and such is man’s greed,

that even water was on fire.

I raise my weary eyes for a glimpse of the moon,

just to realise in pain;

that moonlight was blurred by clouds so dense,

clouds that shall shower blood as rain.

Is it the silence after a storm or the one that preceeds it,

the answer no-one knows;

war after war man fought till his death,

still then hatred grows.

The dusts of a storm had not even settled,

when he raised another one;

and even now he realises not,

what a blunder he has done!

As gust of wind makes a melancholy strain,

with sounds of brutality and notes of pain;

not once did man think even,

“what shall I gain?”

The creator is repenting,

on his botched up creation;

and man thinks to his contentment,

that he is undergoing evolution.

A distinctive cry breaks,

the eerie silence of the graves;

a cry than can melt the heart,

of bravest of the braves.

A woman comes from under the ground,

a baby suckling on her breasts;

a tender heart has entered this world,

where evil never rests.

The clouds have parted,

making way for the silver rays;

maybe someday man will realize his folly,

and make way for happy days.

Someday hatred will bow down,

and there shall be eternal peace.

Someday evil will slow down,

and the world of men shall rest at ease.

The baby bathes in the moonrays white,

Look yonder in its eyes a twinkle so bright;

a pristine smile that needs no dope,

a worn out heart is assured,

There’s hope, there’s hope, there’s hope…

HOPE IS ONE OF THE PILLARS ON WHICH THIS WORLD STANDS.LETS HOPE SOMEDAY MANKIND STRIVES TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS EARTH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE IN…
