Where Are The People?


Sometimes I wonder
Where are all the people.
I see only two legged animals
Carrying hot molten lead in their hearts.

Where are the people
Who used to carry a garden in their hearts
Stench of greed they used to ignore
With barely a glance.

Where are the people
Who used to carry the vast blue sky in their hearts
The narrowness of selfishness they used to laugh at
With contempt.

Where are the people
Who used to carry the majestic mountains in their hearts
The lowliness of character they used to despise
With a vengeance.

Where are the people
Who used to carry the calmness of oceans in their heart
Rashness and insensitivity they used to cure
With understanding.

Where are the people
Who used to carry love in their hearts
Who used to make this world safer for everyone
Who believed all men are brothers
And who believed
Love is unconditional.

Where are all the people?
I wonder
Am I in a bad dream?

  1. The cruel, heartless, self centered - that's all we have become. Well written, I hope your message reaches across and appeals to more.
