MORAL RESPONSIBILITY

Moral Responsibility
We are all treading in this life's haze
We tend to work with the flow like water, rather confused
Always seeking validation, to be inspired and amused
Is this the standard we set for us and our children to use?

We sleep soundly after saying goodnight to our friends who are online 
Undisturbed by the coughs and wails of our neighbour whom we always sideline
We are always claiming the desire to do good like it's an incline
Sadly, when an elderly is crossing a busy road, their hand to hold we decline

Prostitution has now become the machine from which we mint money
Parading our flesh in the auction for all the things swift and larney
Knowing these little girls can hear us honey
No one to teach them values, not the parents nor the nanny

Living our lives in clubs, engaging in rock and roll
The meagre earning is blown off by midmonth we are back in a toll
So what will the children feed, cloth whom will they depend on for real
For now they are back home till the fee is paid in full

Let's take a break and contemplate about the reality
Are we really lost that we forget we owe one another humility
Doesn't our conscious prick us, doesn't it feel nasty?
Let's once again be dignified, let's once again turn back to morality

You have given us a lot to think about here Abdulfaraj. There are all sorts of evil things happening today and many of us should be thinking of others rather than satisfying our own obsessions and sins. Perhaps it sounds old fashioned but modern is not always the best path to follow.
You might be interested that my wife and i visited Lamu many years ago and without doubt it is one of the most beautiful places.
All the best
