Somewhere ...

Somewhere in the laying of all these roads,

We have disrupted the very foundation of happiness.

Somewhere in all the technological innovation,

We have forsaken the sweet gesture of appreciation.

Somewhere in donning the finest clothes,

We have forgotten the queer comfort of shabbiness.

Somewhere in cloning and genetic manipulation,

We have devalued the beauty of God’s original creation.

Somewhere in the formulation of each one’s personal space,

We have eliminated all scope and need for human expression.

Somewhere in the grueling rigours of the daily grind,

We have left all those pristine human emotions ignored.

Somewhere in the attainment of transitory glory these days,

We have failed to leave behind us a lasting impression.

Somewhere in the fusion of science with every human mind,

We have gradually drifted away from our one true God.

Somewhere in the cut throat rat race of today’s life,

We have compromised the blissful joy of togetherness.

Somewhere in the construction of mighty lofty towers,

We have severed ties with nature's fields and fallows.

Somewhere in the trial to overcome monetary strife,

We have renounced the true wealth of our truthfulness.

Somewhere in trying to have everything as ours,

We have sent altruism and charity to the gallows.

Somewhere in trying to dictate our own destiny,

We have forgotten that there’s a greater power above.

Somewhere in trying to make other people see,

We ourselves have now become so very blind.

Somewhere in spending our lives chasing money,

We have forgotten what it really means to love.

And now we have to shoulder the responsibility

For everything that has happened to mankind.
