That's Why

Seema Gill

The world is glowing
not in it’s own warmth
but in the fire of resistance
Sorrow is raining down
not because it wants to
but because man have caused it
Truth is wavering
not because its blurred
but because no one wants to own it

Love is a shimmering star like moon to earth
not because it can’t come down
but because it’s misunderstood
Joy is wrapped in a glossy jargon
not because it doesn’t want to re-distribute itself
but because it’s everywhere
And yet I know why I’m sad 'cause
The world is glowing
with war, conflict, abuse
and dis-harmony!
