This is Life…

Trying to understand life, I see myself strive,
Looking at the heavens in the morning light,
I look at you my LORD; I see hope & desire,
Then, when I look on the earth I see people burning their desire on a pyre.
I see a concoction of love and desire
& on the other hand I see hatred, that’s moved a level higher.
I see negativity, which I want to negate,
But then its there, there in the neo-natal,
There in the old man & in all men’s kith ‘n kin.
What funs’ goodness?
How does harmony help??
Why? Why are there people who always yelp?
Oh Lord! Why should there be Good & Bad?
Why? Why? Can’t there be only truth?
Why can’t there be only love?
Why can’t there be only hope?
