There is poison in the air we breathe
There is poison in the food we eat
There is poison now in the mind of men
There is poison in the writer’s pen
Poison may spew from the way you talk
Poison is shown when you strut and walk
Poison is there when you gossip about others
Poison is visible when you stab your own brothers
Poison in your heart when avarice is there
And you covet, but do not want to share
Poison in minds of leaders of our world
Poison in the hearts when missiles are hurled
Wherever you turn, poison is there
World is bereft of Sympathy and care
Let’s realize that we are sealing our doom
Unless we find a cure very soon
