Mute Generation

NafisaSB

Isn’t it a pity

That we have two eyes

But fail to see

The unending misery..

We have ears

But are deaf to the cries

Of the trodden few

Who are crushed and trampled

And dread a day new..

We have a mouth

But will not speak

Of the horrors that we find

Are we deaf, mute and blind??

Our brains do register

The trauma everywhere

But the soul fails to conquer

The fear that is there.

We are the mute generation

What legacy will we leave

Can we touch with our love?

And the source of despair heal??

If we can’t take concrete action

At least we can speak

About the atrocities we see

And try to find a key..

So let’s wake up from our torpor

And lend a helping hand

To save a precious life

In brotherhood, with others, Stand
