This Heartless World


Those flags and fires Burn me a lot from inside
When I wish for peace, I get wars and riots
The world has become a boiling pot where
Your happiness is persistently being tested and tried

The fight for dominance is never ending
It keeps flying like a reckless kite
If you do not want any such spat
Better hide yourself in the dark of night

Vested interests will seldom come to a halt
So why not keep consuming fake news bite
If it creates commotion anywhere around
Avoid the woundeds, deads, and the orphans’ plight

Learn to be heartless, shed off your tears
Nowadays, emotions are a rare sight
Don’t mind if you encounter red stains in the vicinity
Instead of blood, it could be tomato sauce, am I right?

The thought of happy days is just an illusion
That will remain unfulfilled till the time infinite
If you really aspire seeing genuine smiles all over
Wait for heaven, coz chances in this life are not that bright
