Tendency Of Turning A Deaf Ear Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

Tendency Of Turning A Deaf Ear To
Cries of agony, sounds irrational.
What a wonderful world it is!
Everyone has time to enjoy
Pre-programmed victory.
But he has no time
To express even
A single word of sympathy
For bereaved family.
Some of our intimate friends
Are busy here, to display
Certificates of appreciation.
While others are involved
In photo session and snaps
To captivate their performances.
They have nothing to do with
Pain and grief of neighbour countries.
Turing a deaf air to cries of victims
Doesn't sounds logical
From the view point of humanity.
They might have forgotten concepts of
Fraternity and brotherhood, indeed.
I need you to support me and console
In the time of disaster and adversity.
But man by nature doesn't care
What is happening around him
If it is not flavour of his choice
And it doesn't feed his prosperity.
Disasters like Typhoon, earthquake,
Flood and explosion of volcano,
And atrocities like genocide & war
Are not matter of his own concern
Unless and until his own life and
Interest get threatened.
How wonderful and selfish this world is!
It's time for me and you to think
Humanity is definitely going to die.
