Wake up from the deep sleep you are in

Based on a horrific incident where a person hanged himself in front of onlookers who were busy making his video...this has shaken me completely

Please somebody stop him, he is dying,

Just save him, 

He has tied the rope to his neck,

Oh No! he is gone,

Media has got the story they wanted,

Onlookers have got their share of entertainment,

Now the video of his death will be sold in millions,

Ah! so many likes we will get,

So what he committed the suicide because of his problems,

He killed himself because he was jobless and hungry,

He killed himself in front of a large crowd,

Who were witnessing this entertainment like cowards,

Politicians will get another issue to accuse each other,

His death will garner more coverage,

Yes the life which he thought was useless,

Has given way to the death which will make benefit almost everyone,

Yes thats the harsh reality of this materialistic world,

Please, Please dont make life like this,

Why are we living like dead monsters?

Why dont we raise our voices for others?

Please dont become so insensitive,

Raise your voice, let yourself feel that you are alive,

Please dont make mockery of a death,

Please wake up from the deep sleep you are in,

This world belongs to you,

Feel the pain, hear you inner cries and yells,

Dont make this death sound like a business.

I agree.
"Feel the pain, hear you inner cries and yells,
Dont make this death sound like a business."
Here in the USA.Three state will allow volunteer death. If small change of living. Take a pill and die. My brother defeated cancer twice and stepmother twice too. Media making death okay. I have lost many to good and bad death. Death is the end. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and poetry.

entertainment is the new goldrush - Its a very sad story Anurag and I hope you get some semblance of peace to your being soon. I have seen many deaths but the callousness of this shocked even me!
You handled it deftly and with grace for what its worth.
God Bless you Anurag.

Raise your voice, let yourself feel that you are alive,
Please dont make mockery of a death,
Please wake up from the deep sleep you are in

You are right, we must raise our voice not commit suicide. Very right to the cord bhai. Wonderfully write with a massage.

Most welcome friend.

[Deepika]

Very Very powerful write Anurag! No wonder incidents like this happen in this age where people are much concerned about a person's life after he's left and least bothered when he's pleading for a peaceful air.
Your words are too intense(y)
