Opportunity knocks at the right time
like an eclipse of the moon
but I cannot understand how Mother Earth
is allowing so many children to leave too soon
innocent lives lost through negligence
inside houses caught on fire
for some bitter reason or the other
failing to accomplish the dream to retire

fleet of vehicles along the highway
high of a cost
out of more haste and less speed
innocent lives lost
children and women tortured
at the hands of ruthless men trapped by greed
what insanity and indecency plague
the society
than equality for every creed

where is the justice
to prove who is wrong
the inmates within the prison cells
remain safe while the hope of citizens
drag along
what culture are we creating
to meet the challenges of tomorrow
with so many broken marriages
and innocent children
left unattended in sorrow

wake up and listen to the voice within
that more souls can be save
the future to mold the minds
should be disciplined
rather than to be sent to the grave
as spiritual witnesses to the truth
let peace prevail
for the common goodness of humanity
let our leadership
not fail.
