Starvation

Aabha Misra

Everyone is starving,
Just different forms of carvings,

Students for grades,
Becoming precocious before age,
Educated for job,
Unemployment stealing peace of mob,

Girls for perfect figure,
Inner beauty sniggers,
Boys for their passion,
Working for goals was never part of our childhood lessons,

The women for equality,
For a say in male dominated society,
Men for alcohol,
Another house falls,

Old for acceptance by daughters and sons,
Their educated children need ethical lessons,
God to see his children united,
And superstitions being shed,

Everyone is starving,
Just different form of carvings,
