"REDEFINITION"............ by me

Once "blind" meant "having no eyes",


Now time demands a redefinition

For now those with eyes have become sightless

They see without seeing, the tears that go untouched





Once "Deaf" meant "having no ears"

Now time demands a redefinition

For today those with ears cant hear

The agonized pleas, the sorrowed cries



Once "Dumb" was "one who could not speak"

Now time demands a redefinition

For those with tongues keep shut their mouths

When the innocents plead for justice



Once "Mad" meant to "Lack senses"

Now time demands a redefinition

For those honouring their brains have turned lunatic

They destroy without caring, they cause pain without guilt



Yes! Time has changed it all

The purity of conscience has defiled

The intensity of emotions has burnt out

In the race for world,title and money

Man has become a stranger to himself



Yes! In his veil of illusion of normalcy

Man deludes in false assurances

his "Supremacy" has been erased by brutality

he now lives as the worst animal



Caught in a disease, unknown

he gradually proceeds towards destruction



But! In this long changed world

The sun still rises and illuminates the dark

Yet! a bud blooms to flower

Unaware of the gloom,the birds still sing

The cool breeze blows to refreshen!



.....And yet! In the souls of many

......Hope still lives...
