East or West,
developing or developed,
Hindu, Muslim, Christian,
it doesn’t matter.
The world is alike.
Sensationalism thrives,
knowledge is shirked.
India is going crazy
over a love story,
movie release,
while USA is busy
talking and sharing,
CEO scandal in concert,
endless memes,
flooding Instagram.
In Facebook group,
on thyroid diseases,
women showing puffy faces
and scars in the neck
seeking empathy.
If they had dared,
to show freckles,
or skin issues,
they could have saved,
self from harmful chemicals
avoided this suffering.
People, don’t act silly,
life is finite,
time is flying,
make good choices,
seek fun, but wisely,
don’t dig own ditch.
