I cry ..

I cry .. the tears of sorrow ..
Pain and hurt lies within .. no need to borrow ..

I cry .. when the tears are almost eager to fall ..
Everything seems lost .. nothing left .. nothing at all ..

I cry .. when a thought in its infancy is murdered without sympathy ..
By the goons on street-corners .. led by apathy ..

I cry .. when they unkindly turn a blind-eye ..
Towards a deserving image .. that's produced by your mind's eye ..

I cry .. when the calls for assistance go unanswered and why ..
A struggle for truth is left to slowly wither and die ..

I cry .. when no one believes your story of cruelty..
Of falsehood condemning the verity to the depths of obscurity ..

I cry .. when I see the disparity in returns ..
and when sycophancy outsmarts diligence .. the heart burns

I cry .. when trust seems to be present only inside the crust ..
Which gets devoured first .. by the deceiver's unquenchable lust ..

They say I am a loser .. not fit to live and prosper in today's society ..
They must be right .. 'coz it's them who own and run this world .. this falsity!!
