He Can't Sing Songs of Loves and Lovers

The poet is pained by the present scenario, where he finds many things wrong. He is sad about it. He refuses to sing songs of loves and lovers.

Present Scenario Melancholy Poem

He can't sing songs of loves and lovers,

In the present scenario, where

Poverty is defying,

Children are dying,

Women are sold,

Humanity is sighing.

Trees are harmed,

Earth is warmed,

Wastes of nucleus,

Keep us alarmed.

Economy in depression,

Production in regression,

Markets are melting,

Losses in progression.

Earthquakes are raging,

Floods are waging,

Tsunamis destroy us,

Storms are blazing.

Leaders are 'Wanted',

Hatred is chanted,

Preachers are terrorists,

Bombs are planted,

Fake is reality,

News is travesty,

Anchors are goading,

Truth is casualty.

Religion is used,

God is abused,

People are worked up,

Sanity is confused.

People are dying,

Warheads are flying,

World has forgotten,

But Ukraine is crying.

Poet is low,

Wiping his brow,

Confidence is broken,

Please, let it grow.

In the present scenario,

He can't sing songs of loves and lovers.
