It's all in the mind...

Look beyond what you see,
You'll always find a shadow.
There's nothing that light hides,
After a bright day, darkness has to follow!

It's such a negative outlook on life,
The day follows the night you'd defend.
It may all sound very pessimistically apt,
But what goes up has to descend!

Yet, there's another side of it all,
There's still elegance to it.
The night is adorned by the moon's grace,
Stars flanking, smitten by it!

Reach Out!

I see a child, innocent,
blue-eyed, and crying,
Its tiny fingers in his
mother’s hands prying.
The mother stands, her
heart weeping, eyes sore.
Her baby wont stop sobbing,
though she tells him a lore.
He weeps out of hunger, not
the same reason that she cries,
she has no food for her son,
not even dry rice.
A pitiful sight, yet
we’re mere spectators.
Not wanting to help,some
sort of moral traitors!

Lavish parties, outlandish bashes,
All jiving away into the toxic night.
Food leftover, drinks a flowing,
no one cares and no one might.
There’s always money for movies and fun,
but, never enough for the desolate.
A reality check could show us mirror,
Oh! yes, we’ve a blessed fate!
Crib-topics are a plenty, the phone
that your friend has, the shoes you must buy.
Ever realized, there are people, who
don’t eat for days, three, four or five?

A change of attitude, a
helping hand, a moment of care.
You don’t need to be a true altruist,
that’s all you need to spare!
The world isn’t fair, is what
we like to cry and shout.
Can’t you and I spread some mirth?
Is it so difficult to reach out?
