Bitter truths

1) Stressed mind within the unstressed body
first sign showing one's lack of interest in life ;
dragging myself through boulevard of boundless bounty
how can I be so lethargically bovine ?

2) Where is this world headed
driven by lunatic criminals
innocent people are physically and mentally smitten
by their dirty and vulgar acts.
No place on the earth seems to be safe now
not even a single person loyal
I seek a helping hand to come out of the bondage
and want some peace now.
Can anyone stop all this?
just for a while - I am pleading
I can take no more of this torture
my head is now badly aching.
Stand up! I heard someone say
I have no sympathy when you are blue
fight for yourself and be strong
or else my sympathy will weaken you.

your poem reflecs growing insensitivity of people around. each one of us is responsible for this. and your suggestion to grow tall and make an impact is worthy..
commentable attempt... your concern about the social evils and attrocities can only come from an empathic heart...
