Theme:

The poem to be recited is an elaboration of a Man’s State of Mind who has
been dejected with the miseries and unethical practices carried out in the
world. He is afraid if it continues to be the same, then a day will arrive
when humanity would be ruled by insanity based on immoral conducts and
despair.

Through the poem he attempts to warn his fellow men about the mistakes that
they commit daily knowingly as well as unknowingly. He is pleading them to
wake up and look around to see the mess brought about by the human cabbages
all over.

The stanzas would seem to be an unusual mixture of human expressions like
dejection, humor, rage, and fear. Isn’t that’s what we called Life?







Wake Up before it's too late

Wake up folks before it's too late
Time passes away and so does Date!

Yet we are not able to tell
When we are to be out of our Shell!!!

The Shell not for protection
Rather for mutation!!!

Look around for yourself, is that what we wanted
The world entirely haunted
With enmity and outrages
Humanity slaughtered in cottages!!!

Every dawn in our lives
Begin with bestowed knives
Smeared with egos, envy and insecurity
Ready to stab the Body
Of the one whom we call Hey Buddy!!!

With a self centered motive
We ever stay active
With a common mentality
Hospitality is just a Formality

Relationships today are just based on choice
No matter even if we need to marry twice

Life today is just a Game
Where we invest Shame
Hence for me to survive you have to die
No matter how closely to me you tie

A slow poison of distrust and hatred
Have always grated
The bonds based on Love and Care

If this is what we call progress
Levying injustice on humanity
Promoting Immorality
In our daily walks and talks
Then it's simple to trace
Better than us are the Apes

So better wake up before it's too late
Time passes away and so does date!!!
