A questioning, compelling path to today's mankind's nature
Eye for an eye makes the world blind,
This had come from our father's mind,
He had a heart which was so kind,
In today's world, why is it so hard to find?

Man today with shining swords,
Speaks along the blazing words,
Wearing a heartless mind on sleeve,
Ready to kill and just leave...

What made the man like this?
What is there which we always miss?
How can a few influence so many others?
How can brothers turn against brothers?

Making religion the face on both sides,
They always have reasoned the genocides.
Some rules & ethics were set to abide,
But, they were bent, broken and taken for a ride!

First time kill makes them cry,
Next time the same eyes go dry,
Later the soul is sent to fry,
Last the animal is out to pry.

Does a solution exist?
Why is it so easy to resist?
Man today is desensitized and pessimistic,
Were Gandhi & his friends being too optimistic???
