Modern pressures
Made man surpass
Uncivilized animals
Hunting down
Weaker segment
Exploiting, profiting
Accumulating, suppressing
Poor turn poorer
Cruse behavior
Leading to sorrow
Pushing others into dismay
Selfishness the root cause
Unprivileged are deprived
Not on, but of
Rights, wealth, peace
Ultimately existence
Is it development?
Are we developed?
Creating our own islands?
A ridiculing product
Of our ideology
Which keeps preaching
One suffers with no help
It is said time and again
As the result of past deeds
And endure the pain as fate
Under the shelter of ideology
Individuals turned narcissistic
With no offence in amassing
Wealth by exploitation
With bizarre desires
Of being status conscious
The society not even blinks
Except for a new headline
When the poor get crushed
And cry for rescue
None tries to help
But only try to exploit
Hearts having become of stone
Parents preach as a child
Verses of the Bhagavad-Gita
That you will find Him
In all the good deeds
And get emancipation
For deeds not self- centered
This has been told
To us by all saints too
And it so remains as
The backbone
Of all the religions
Never any one found happy
Though in this modern age
Surrounded are we
With modern gadgetries
Why? Because our
Mental state in deliration
Liberty I have
In rendition of the true
Whom I always do,
I got satisfaction.
And I learnt,
This is where
The mirth is in hiding.
And it is but nothing
It is nearness to God
