In this socio-political poem, Harinder tells us about many evils. The mandate of Satan is on. An exclusive for Different Truths.
We are living in dangerous times With the evil of war and heinous crimes Caution we have thrown to the winds Cruelty to animals is a cool thing Crimes against women are on the rise Crime shows we enjoy with popcorn and French fries And then we visit the Lord’s shrine To wash off our sins in no time The soul is like stale bread in a shiny foil Spiritually we are irrigating barren soil Oh! When will we learn our lessons? The grave digger today is the busiest person The pandemic was the Nature’s rage Inspite of all the advancement this is a dark age Bereft of spirituality Man is the wise owl Beware people! The Gods are angry and Satan is on the prowl.
