Expectations

Should I fight? Should I show my temper?
Should I retaliate? Should I spit my anger?
Have I got anything to lose? I'm so bemused,
Should I kick away all the obligations against me?
Or should I hear everything sitting confused?

This world is incapable of giving any mirth.
Any joyous feelings here are so in dearth.
If you go ahead to do something sane,
You simply receive abuses so profane.

People have forgot how to love and care,
The adulation they possess is so unshared.
They may talk good in front you,
But when you turn around,
All their goodness in so quickly diffused.

Expecting something from someone has become a crime.
Harsh and loud noise has taken the place of a wind-chime.
There is nothing 'gentle' left around,
Only in numerous conspiracies, people are bound.

Has purity totally disappeared?
Is there no humanity left? Does anyone fears?
Are all the guys around masked?
Can anyone trust another fellow in dark?

Will someone support you against others?
Will someone love you even when you’ve shed all your feathers?
Is there someone whose hand you can hold?
Who is so helping and does not pretends to be bold?

Are people really so selfish?
Is our Earth becoming too hellish?
What happened to our faith and moral values?
Have we thrown them as well with our torn shoes?

Has wishing a bad-luck taken the place of prayers?
Has admiring someone transformed into awful stares?
Is there anyone left to rely upon?
Why there is dusk after every dawn?

In this world, no one is yours.
The one whom you love and trust is also among your foes.
If you do good to someone and expect the same in return,
You are actually hoping to see a flower blossom from a dead fern.
