Odds of Existence

A love driven world
Is what we all preach
As ramifications of starvation engulf nations
Where survival is all they teach.

Cities brawl against cities
For the sake of hegemony and lust;
Neglecting innocent lives to fade
In the hands of cruelty and unjust.

Even nature detests our nursing credence
As families drown in their tears
Watching loved ones pay the ultimate price
For a war they know nothing about.

We hear of tsunami there
And report of cyclone here;
Nothing really seems fair enough
With heirs/heiresses becoming refugees in their land of birth.

The prevalence of animosity
Continues to shrink our world into a maze,
Making lives an obscured riddle
With solutions nowhere to be found.

No one is ever proud of the past,
The present isn’t worth lamenting about;
Even when we know not what awaits tomorrow,
Is this how we all were meant to live our lives?

We live like a suffocating man
Gazing at the picture of oxygen
With our hearts in our mouths
Not knowing when their beats will cease.

Our odds of existence
Seem very bleak and narrow;
Leaving someone like me; someone like you
Wondering how we will ever make it through.

People are dying,
We are reducing by the day,
And all we ever think of is war;
More war, war and hate for one another.

Some call it survival,
Others call it living,
And in the end, when we all wake to see through the windows of reality,
Will you and I be proud of the world we have thus created?
