Personal Interest Goes On Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Throwing light on darkness
Everyone knows-
All that glitters is not gold
But, you can't stop and show
Even, a single object though
Playing not duality for its role
Positive uplift or negative cheat
Former as its defence
And later one as an offence
Exposure of personal traits
Characterising its nature
May not be a permanent stature.

Social order trying to bring together
Many dimensions of fair or unfair-
Manipulating, several global issues
Natural justice being ignored, why?
Veto restricted to the five:
What about, the rest of the world...?

Posturing to make democracy success
Changes, so as to influence others
Earnestness, intensity and gravity
Or industriousness thereof differs
From individual to individual.

People get together for several reasons
Other than the motif or petty things
Knowing well, man can't be the God
Still, acting like that, blocking others
Worship of personal interest goes on.
