The world is my adobe
I sing in sanity
I dance in vanity
I pray in sanctity
Here, There and Everywhere
I see diligent people
Exploring the world
Learning their way
Hard, They work to achieve
Steady, is their path
Striving towards success
With never-ending determination.
Here, There and Everywhere
I see people in love
Pure, Serene Devotion
Lost in their tiny-huge worlds
Happy they look, being lost
In their beautiful sphere
For Life is such, without which
It is just a meaningless journey.
Here, There and Everywhere
I see people exploiting
Relentless plots they make
For a prize of little penny.
The mighty mindless wins
While the weak suffer in silence
Which makes this true
'The rich becomes richer, The poor poorer.'
Here, There and Everywhere
I see the hatred in the eyes
The reasons being many
I just fail to understand the reason
I am just confused,
Lost I contemplation
As I fail to understand
The world around me.
Now, Here, There and Everywhere
I see people like me,
Just lost in adversity
trying to answer the unanswerable questions.
Looking at confused myself everywhere
I find it hard to sing and dance.
Now, I pray for myself and the think-alike
For some perception of reality, of hope.

P.S. Though I've mentioned everywhere for some of the entities like hatred, people exploiting, I was just referring figuratively. Not everywhere you can find, but there are such people, per say.
Poignant !
