Musings: The world

She never did understand.
How easy it is for people to hurt other people.
She read books about it and saw the news.
A teenager shot down.
A mother killing her baby.
A baby she carried for more than 9 months.
A baby she laboured to give birth to.
Sick.
The world is sick.
Sick and full of evil.
And the human heart is wicked.

Everyday we pray for peace in the world.
But the killings go on.
The bombing.
The suicides.
And the blood continue to flow and the tears too.
Who will help us?
God?
We’ve called on him countless times.
He’s probably lounging in his sitting room.
Observing everything going on.
Going on in the world.

And wondering why we won’t learn.
It’s not his fault.
He made the world beautiful.
But human grew to be what they wanted to.
Greedy, selfish and wicked.
Hurting other people.
Even people they claim that they love.
Some are after money.
And don’t care what they do.
As long as they get the cash.
It’s sad how the world is turning out to be.

We can’t even be ourselves.
Because the life of the people we see on media platforms.
Leaves us yearning.
Then begins, the journey to be like them.
Then we leave aside our originality.
Dashed it to the ground.
And preferred to be someone else instead who we really are.
She never did understand.
