The starry face of the sky <br />Flowers embracing me, cuddling children, romantic lovers <br />Remind me that life is but a symphony <br />Love is basis of life and cause of existence of universe <br />An aroma of love <br />I feel around me <br />But my heart sinks in despondency <br />To see the starved faces of children, Dying hopes, scattered dreams, Gory coffins <br />And groaning men in pain and fears <br />My heart rips apart when I see the greed, selfishness, apathy, pomp and show <br />I muse why man has become an animal <br />Why he has shut his eyes to his surroundings <br />He is not soulless <br />But why sans sympathy and love for fellow beings <br />I ponder sanguinely <br />That the status quo will change <br />But who will remind him of his grand status in universe?<br /><br />Tayyab Ijaz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-2929/
