It’s the unfamiliarity, the oblivion That makes us hide behind our walls

It shakes us to the point that

We can’t distinguish the right from wrong

Social animals, we call ourselves

But where does that go, when someone needs help

United we stand and divided we fall

But that doesn’t stop the separatists at all

Distinct cultures and nations all left aside

When it comes to human rights, how many of us do abide

Calls for one another, mean nothing anymore

As the pleas for help all get thrown out the door

Seclusion and solitude are the epitome of bliss

When was it that our world came to this?

Acceptance of diversity isn’t a priority right now

Not when half the world ignores the other half somehow

Humanitarian crises are at the top of the list

And among the things that no one knows exist.

When someone’s embarrassed to ask for help, you know there is a problem

Now it’s up to us to pinpoint and solve them

Whatever we put up to conceal and divide

The rest of the world does too, as it’s got the same things to hide

We’re not quite different, despite our religions and our race

Cause at the end of the day we all have the same problems to face.

I would love to say I’m content with the world as it is

But the truth is that we’ve come to a point where true happiness doesn’t exist

Or rather it doesn’t comply With the fact that all of us are running out of time

Controversies and disagreements are all insecurities in disguise

When myths meet facts, you know they’ll arise

And it’s a punishable offence to say one side is right

Unless the rest of the world agrees with you, then it might be alright

Accusatory you will say I’m being, a pessimist with a big mouth  Discouraging everyone from letting satisfaction be found

All of the things I’ve listed may strike fury indeed

But when will they encourage us to build bridges, and let the walls recede.

I tried and I won,

But there was still more to be done.

To make the world a better place,

To eliminate hatred among religions and race.

To make them feel wanted again,

To give them both-a sister and a friend.

Being hopeful is useless nowadays,

Cause no one listens to our humble ways.

We try and try but it’s all in vain,

As we still can’t rid the world of pain.

In the distance we see people wail and perish,

Is this the result of all our merits?

We want tranquility, we want love We want our symbol to be the dove.

To see the world as it was eons ago,

To get rid of corruption and have the world glow.

We wanted to replace darkness with light,

But trying with all our might.

Wasn’t enough to turn evil to good, Still

it was all we could.

They say the past is the past and we’ll all forget,

But where will it go-all our regret?

Remember the past is gone now and we’re in the present,

But why are most of still treated like peasants?

Being a woman or a girl child,

What in this is a horrendous crime?

People are killed for taking a stand,

Against all the things that ruin our land.

We aim for the best but just don’t realize,

That the real problems is right in front of our eyes.

We accomplished all of the greatest of feats,

Travelled to the ends of the earth and explored all the seas.

Still we have so much to achieve,

To get everyone on the same page that’s what I believe.

So many imperfections we all have and that’s a fact,

Still we distinguish between two mere colours-white and black.

It’s hilarious to think that all this matters in today’s day and age, Our gender, the colour of our skin and the amount that we wage. Truth is, it only matters as much as society likes,

But still is more important than what lies inside.

We all want attention and want to be heard,

For a voice that’s as melodious as a bird’s-

But we don’t know, what we do and what we say,

Will be the most appealing thing on earth if it’s done the right way.

So my fellow people take my into mind,

For who knows-one day you could be the savior of mankind.
