Man lost faith in fellow men; br Their thoughts, acts, words and virtues br In a world of mutual mistrust br Scepters ruled mighty kingdoms br Idols ruled human hope and wisdom br Statutes, rules and codes today br Are etched on papers vows br Words of mouth go with the wind br Prefer we walking on jotted lines br Man against man is pitted br In a cobweb of scribble-jumble br Orals lost credence; writings gained muscle br Words or writings are of what vouch? br When human ethos is in pathetic crouch br Was this the man; the Divine did plan? br What a shame to be called a human; br Sans being humane, a quality God did sow br But alas! Man never allowed it to grow! ! !br br sathya narayanabr br
