Nature Of The World 🌎 Poem by Abdul Basit Ismail

This world has blindfolded us a thousand times
In the womb and before the tomb
It speaks to us twice
We cry to announce our presence
And people wipe their tears to say goodbye
This world rises egos of men so high
To the heavens
And demote us so deep into hell
We are on a knife edge
Carefully crawling through life searching
For success
Steering through the crowd to find our shadow
And when we loose our grip
We slip and fall in to doom
This world is nothing but a mirage
Like a movie with a time travel concept
This world has lied to us again and again
For centuries
We worship vanities
While forgetting it vanishes
The world has beaten us so hard
At least once in our lifetime
But we still call it heaven
