What do you know my kid ?

A Poem by Nithya

Dear kid , never have I seen you before
But my eyes are wet with tears now
You were born innocent
To be loved and to contribute
But what do you know about this world , my dear?
Man had created walls everywhere
Nationality,religions are their names.
These have divided the people
And even their minds forever !

Poisoned are these people's mind
They kill their brothers
Only for the reason, that he stands
On the other side of the wall
But what do you know about it, my dear?
Prophets were born here long before
To teach them love and peace
Sadly, man didn't learn a thing !!
God had send them to create faith
But man had created religions !

Each one of them has convinced themselves
That only their religion is right
And they live their life believing it
Like the frogs at the bottom of the well!
When the naked truth is that
These are just different paths
To a destination that is one and the same!
But what do you know about it ,dear ?
Sacred books are of no use here !
These are our people ,one will say
And rest are our enemies!
Though we all belong to each other.

You are born into a species
Most intelligent but also the cruelest!
But what do you know about them, my kid ?
Let others live ,is just a fine saying
Live your life well , even if it
Cost others lives and emotions
This is our new slogan ,my dear !

Man knows only the language of hatred
They kill their brothers with no remorse.
Love is not their thing !
But what do you know about these, my dear
They rape and torture woman
Just for the reason that she
Stands on the other side of the wall.
Such weird species are they ,kid

They invent new technologies everyday
Although to live here ,what
we need is a little love and peace
But what do you know about it , my dear ?
Love don't exsist here anymore
Hatred drives this crooked world.
One cannot speak the truth openly
For he will be shot dead , with no mercy!
It is the land of cultured savages ,kid

Humanity is dead, and it vanished long ago
Your innocent smile cannot
Move their hearts,my little one
But what do you know about all these , my dear ?
Sleep peacefully forever in those silvery clouds
For this world is no good for you !
