Sankha’s poignant verse on DifferentTruths.com exposes humanity’s dark underbelly—starvation, slums, and lost empathy—urging us to torch selfish ambitions and heal the world.
People starve not for poverty...
People die in loss of humanity...
Humanitarian hand lost in selfish ambition
Wealth-based discrimination instigates exploitation
The rule of the jungle is still alive amongst Homo sapiens...
We call us ruler of the planet, “the triumphant humans!”
Why then do children die on the streets? Why do slums stink like a bin?
To be blind in vision is not a sin; to be ignorant in vision is a sin!
Why expect others to proceed first?
Take the torch; why not be the first?
Let no fear stop you…
Let no hindrance fear you…
Food, shelter, clothing – let the basic rights reach the needy souls.
Let us build a utopia free from inhuman controls...
Extend a smile to a starving stomach, perhaps.
Come, let us heal the world; come, let us seal the gaps!
