Dance with grace this moment?

Humans running a mad race

By Ekta K. Kalra Published 3 years ago 1 min read

begin the day with race

or dance with grace

what and why

should be life’s place.

mercy the palaces

which despite being rich

don’t enjoy the day.

there is need for praise

for lovely childhood plays.

but humans grow adults

really soon

even before happiness

to its entirety doesn’t bloom.

a little more expectation

from the youth next door

do his parents make

a bit sad is his face

always.

meeting the speed

of race

human race

many fall on roads

many crush

many fail to walk

many forget the halt

many fail in peace

many die by unease

very few by real disease.

so look not at the sky

instead jump up high

do not study nature

learn up perfect

what says the tutor

don’t apologise

it will waste time

instead appear in moral test

and do pass it in your

whole might.

this is life

a mad race

someone who fails

is a human in place

fades away but he

dies away

what a pain

What a shame

earth

humans your ways are strange

humans your ways are strange

strange still

repair

repair every layer

earth your mend

if humans break this way

you mend up

be fair

but am I right

does earth needs the mend

or we adults

are in need of it?
