I Don't Know

Well a lot of people seem to be into Poetry now a days .. So I thought I'll try writing a poem too....To give you one more piece of personal trivia..Although!!!!! Yes I know you are not dying to hear it .. Is I am the vocalist for a Rock Band.. To tell you very frankly not very good at it..though want to improve ...Anyways here's the poem

I don't know


I don't know why the world is so crazy
I don't know why people are so busy killing each other
I don't know why we hate and sometimes even love each other
And I really don't know what world we will be leaving behind and shudder


When people don't mean the things they say
and mean what they don't say
When we are insensitive to everything around us
And our way of leaving it all behind is
drown it in a haze of intoxicated euphoria
Or hang out in the mall and buy a T-shirt


But amongst all this angst and dread
I draw faith from the small yellow flower
Growing in the middle of that busy highway
When all the world is against its survival
It not only survives but thrives
May our faith and compassion be like that weed
Which no amount of selfish human fertilizer
Or the pollution of almost everything going wrong
May destroy
