Unkept Promises Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Versatile lyricists and poets
Richness in good-will outside
However, a have not inside of it
Reciting awfully ardent etiquette
A legend in making, as an obsession.

Artists no longer now looking
At the art-galleries to exhibit
Exhibit their model art works
But, writing scripts on the hearts
Hearts and minds of their people
Now, being new canvas and paper
As a life-investment, worth display.

Nuclear weapons and star-wars
All patriots known for psychopaths
Young and fresh people just get wary
All ups and downs teaching about life.

Spying in the background-
Purpose of spying is varied
As the emotions it evokes
Even yet, the fascination
With this world is eternal
Taking a pause, not full stop.

A ‘hole' lot more, a serious concern
All dreams dashing on the ground-
Safety at stake, beware of the fake
Fake assurances and unkept promises.
