Why all this blood?
Why all these tears of pain?
Why so much hatred?
Why are so many battles being fought?
Why is the war raging all over the world?
Why are humans so greedy?
Why there is a constant race for everything?
When did we cross the ages when humans
Were more sensitive towards each other?
When did insanity creep in so deep
Enough to kill each other over land, money, power?
When did man start caring for the tangibles,
More than his family, friends and other humans?
For all we have when we live on earth,
Are the relationships that we make with every one,
The bonds that we share with others,
For that becomes our universe,
Each emotion personified,
Each laughter ringing longer,
Each moment of joy lingering,
And when we leave the world,
We leave only these memories behind,
The essence of our love and kindness,
That we shower unconditionally,
And no matter who we are,
Or how we prayed our Gods,
We all go down to ashes,
Deep down the land where we lived,
Preserved as memories for longer than we know.
So, we are all one, aren’t we?
