What is Light and What Dark.

Fake is the World today, for sure

Artificial it is, indeed

When, what it will bear

Is unknown to even the little seed,

Where, overwhelming is sordid desire

And, overpowering is greed,

When hunger needs not things to eat

But survives on filthy lucre and gold as feed.

Where, life is not a journey

But, a constant mad race,

Where, Time’s on no one’s side

And, there is no resting-place,

Where, smiles are rare and creases bare

And, deeply furrowed the human face,

Where, buttons you press to annihilate

And, no more than a stick is, now, the lowly mace.

Where, a million miles the heart and mind separate

And, Promises are made to break, not keep,

Body and Mind two beings apart

And, the Eyes don’t know what is sleep,

Where Man is shallow and contriving

And, ponds and streams all very deep,

Where snails glide and tortoises sprint

While Man, we see, as an awful creep.

Who now will set things right

And who light up the dark night,

The Sun and the Moon incompetent, incapable

Are we, anywhere, in the Almighty’s sight?
