I can see the enormous movements, gaiety and beauty

Countrysides and tourist spots with splendid scenery

Comforts, events and entertainment in a bounty

Communications and travels with speed and facility.

I can notice the elements of being ugly and messy

Pollution, diseases and intoxication in disarray

Cyclic corruption, depression and poverty

Blending with terrorism, politics and calamity.

I can sense the aura of hatred, envy and enmity

Wanton crimes, drugs and gang wars in vicinity

Self-centeredness dominates over every personality

Ignoring to help the weak, the sick and the needy.

I can only pray for little peace, hope and opportunity

For this generation to change and to avoid misery

A need to reflect and to prepare for any eventuality

For this modern world is either a happy or a sad reality.
