SO NUMB I FEEL

When limits of miseries exceed and reservoirs of my patience deplete,
When  there's nothing left to believe, then so numb I feel.

When prospects of peace are blur, in environment savage conflicts often spur,
When the deep wounds take centuries to heal, then so numb I feel.

When rationalism dies a slow death and superstitions flourish under religious sheath,
When massacres happen in frantic zeal, then so numb I feel.

When tools and filthy utensils replace toys, drunkard father's abuse take place of lullabies,
When it becomes a luxury to have three meals,then so numb I feel.

When unheard voices are silenced in wombs, innocent girls are raped inside holy tombs,
When humans are inferior and an animal becomes a great deal,then so numb I feel.

When sorrows become a daily routine and money can't give life its lost sheen,
When moments of joy become the only thing that i wish to steal,then so numb I feel.

When there's oceans of things to say in mind and only a deafening silence on tongue glides,
When words of mine has no appeal,then so numb I feel.

When there are abound social debts to pay and there's no meaning left of fun, frolic and play,
When I have to follow strict obligations that I can't repeal,then so numb I feel.
