DAWN OF A NEW MILLENIUM

Oceans of tears
Shed over years
For
The massacred at Jalianwala bagh
And to those of Jehanabad
Senseless killing of Mahatma
Taking away the life of Stuart
The sufferings of the Somalians
And those of Hiroshima!

At
The arrogance of the rich
And the agony of the poor
The vulgar display of wealth
And the silence sufferings of the have-nots!

The cruel acts of the Czars and their tribe
Wicked thoughts of all who subscribe!
The passive response of the spineless
Who dare not oppose the senseless!

All my tears have drained
All my limbs are sprained!

Insensible wickeds rule the roost
Inactive intelligentsia provides the boost
Millennium moves fast to its end
Millions to strive for the next to be better
A new world order
Urgent need to mend the disorder
Through noble measures
That will remove the fissures
Surely usher in great pleasure
And free the world
From the fear of
Wicked wars
Deadly weapons
Cruel minds
Painful penury
Piercing poverty
Killer diceases
Poisonous people
Extorting exploitation
Endless hatred
And there
Let the new millenium dawn
Ushering new world order well drawn
Where
Love and peace will rule
Joy and harmony will prevail
Universal brotherhood will flourish
Heaven and earth will merge
Plenty and prosperity will dance
Not left to the tune of chance!
