On one hand we say that today is better than yesterday
And now the world is a better place to live in
Ask yourself if this is true
Where being in love is a sin
Where innocent people disappear without a clue
Where criminals are tilled
Where women are raped and daughters are killed
Where those who raise their voice for justice are brutally silenced forever
While those who violate justice casually walk away
Where most people live in the fear of terror
While those who cause it augment by the day
Where people with aspirations and dreams die
While those with destructive minds rise high
Where blood is shed without regret and with ease
While more is spent on war than on peace
Where protectors become contractors of human modesty
While lies cover up all honesty
Where life gets undone before it has even begun
While we propagate and claim (all in vain) that the world is one
A Tribute to Jessica, Nitish, Pratibha, Aman, Aarushi, Reuben, Keenan and all those innocent people who lost their lives because someone else erred.
