Melting Hope


We evolved rapidly, riding on our distinction.
Even as we pushed other species to their edge of extinction
We made the blue planet spin towards a scary red future
Our price for playing God and messing with Mother nature

We managed to boil the Oceans, not with flame or fire
and yet we refuse to curb our apathy and cold-hearted desire
We wonder why the tides rise higher and winds lash faster
even as we blame each other for all disaster

Acrylic Painting of melting iceberg and lonely bear

Will we slow down and pay heed?
Or has greed become our overbearing need?
Can green cool this hot crucible?
Or is it too late and the damage irreversible?

Will we do it differently if we start over again
Will we give this earth a better bargain?
How dare you? roars mother nature for taking her down this slope
She can't bear to witness another pain of melting hope

United States of America

They are the leaders who claim to love democracy But sometimes their actions would put to shame, a crazy They believe that might is right And that bullying smaller nations is their birthright They considered Saddam an evil Yet they created Osama, to play the devil Sometimes they bite more than what they could chew And that’s what happened when the devil gave his due The attack on WTO was a sickening horror But it was a shame to market it for the war against terror They crossed the seas and attacked other cities In the name of ending terrorist atrocities Uncle Sam has nose so long, that he likes to poke Even as the world new that WMD was nothing but a joke Yet they occupied other man’s soil For reasons as real as minerals and oil The world was helpless as they split the mighty Soviet The fear of which had shut everyone quiet They destroyed a nation to avenge Pearl Harbour and built themselves by outsourcing jobs for cheap labour They have landed everywhere except the Sun And they always
