Where Are We Headed?

Where Are We Headed?

Sitting in my armchair gazing at the stars

Wondering how big the universe is and how small we are,

We know it and yet we worry

Keep forgetting the fact and live in a hurry.


A flowing river has always made me wonder

Where did it arise and how did it meander,

Have you ever heard rain pattering and thought?

Ah! Such a blissful feeling cannot be bought.


We are dispirited owing to petty issues

And despondent after battles we couldn’t win,<

/p>

Not realizing that being unappreciative of what we have

Will only make us desolate within.


War, violence, everywhere

Squander the limited time we have in spare,

Inessential dissension has led to internecine strife

And humankind no longer cares for another human life.


Do we really desire to tread a path

And head towards an unhappy aftermath

We must take cognizance and make amends

Correct all the wrongs because our future depends.
