Damn 'You'!
All 'You' do is crib of hair loss, a non-size zero figure and a big fat nose...
When brave soldiers put up with disfigured limbs and a broken pose!!
And yet there are those who live with spoilt faces and a burnt skin
Thanks to the terrorist who rejoiced and danced into yet another sin!!
Damn 'You'!!
All 'You' do is mock the cold food served on a flight with more hue and cry...
'You' forget with no shame, no guilt; as you sit on cushioned chair in the sky...
The little kid at the traffic junction polishing shoes for a daily glass of milk,
Fathers assuming gravel, brick and tar weight to fend for a family so abject, so sick!
Damn 'You'!!
All 'You' do is fuss over passe clothes and mock the outdated cell phone...
While wearing mismatched rags street kids walk naked feet on hot stone!!
When the toast gets burnt, 'You' throw a fit; a slow internet gets 'You' to gripe...
On the street you walk beside hundreds who see no food, no aid - under the sun they ripe!!
Damn 'You'!!
All 'You' do is rant about the hefty drink that failed to induce a kick...
While on the footpath across the lane a mother sleeps with her baby, thirsty and sick!
A mother with a dry parched throat, her breast produced not a drop of milk...
Yet 'You', the damned 'You', snugged in your couch - cursed the slipcover for being linen and not silk! .
Damn 'You'!!
All 'You' do is suck up more power to run fans in empty rooms and coolers for men in coats...
While children in villages far away, train under oil lamps and in bleak light they wrote...
'You' ridiculed, gibed, sneered, scoffed and wasted...
While they endured, preserved, saved, smiled and adapted
Damn 'You'!!
My conscience cringes and heart aches that 'You' are so many...
But killed I am as I know, that most often than ever, its 'You' who are ME!
