Innocent victims filled with immense hope
How will they with these deprived people cope
Saviors turned monsters
Prowling around for pleasure
They say it’s social service
While seeking carnal pleasure
Corruption is rife
Blackmail is the norm
How will the children
Withstand this vicious storm
As minds are fogged
With drugs and with power
Things are getting worse
Hour after hour
Is there none who will raise awareness
Will they face the mighty band
Will they solve these challenges to mankind
And clean up our great land ?
Will the world a return
To goodness ever find
Hard it is to turn a blind eye
And yet so caught up in the rat race
With family work and home
That man finds he is fully tied
And cannot spare the time
To convict this serious crime..
The bars are now full
And the dance halls are well it
There are fewer caring souls
To cry and do their bit..

The world seems to have a shortage on compassion. Nicely worded this poem calls this point out.
yes - it needs compassion for the exploited poor, but it seems help is far away
We can hope that somewhere in all the darkness there is still some light for them, nicely expressed and written
i hope so too, though currently it seems a forlorn hope
Hello, Nafisa,
Where now the ones of mercy, the ones of compassion, even one single humanitarian politician. One can feel the anger in your poem and angry you should be. My heart goes out to these innocent victims and pray someday they find happiness in the joys of life that they truly deserve. Your poem highlights the corruption and those who suffer because of it in a powerful and heartfelt way. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.
Excellent write
thank you so much
You're welcome
Nearly missed this one, N. I don't visit as often as I once did, and then sometimes cursorily. So thanks for the back up; where I live the issues are plain to see.
First is of course shelter, the cost of a home impossible, particularly for the young who wish to have kids. This issue has many societal deleterious effects - prevents women's escape from domestic violence, youngsters escaping from dysfunctional families, and so on... Child care is mostly in the hands of profit making enterprises, which it would seem do not worry about the provision of professional properly organized staff to form a culture and systems where this kind of transgression would be virtually impossible.
So government has no interest in really sorting the housing issue or providing proper resources for child care. What is to be done?
yes, your question demands a reply and some quick effective measures; but at least in our country we find that sometimes even some welfare schemes started by some agency or government in power is stalled or given a back seat because it is never deemed to be an important subject to be addressed, which is all the more cause for worry
the only bit we can do is open the eyes of the public and hope that justice is given to those who need it soonest
thanks for taking up the cause at your end- bravo..
The poem serves as a call to action, urging readers to recognize and confront the systemic issues that lead to suffering and corruption, and to inspire a sense of responsibility towards societal improvement.
If more people like you understand this message then it has served much of its purpose. Thanks for understanding. Have a great day 💐🙏🏼
Hopeless is often wrapped in distractions...
that's another point of view - thanks for stopping by
