THE WORLD IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!
Here we are sitting in our couches oblivious to the pain, agony, sufferings of the entire world. We said “Welcome 2007”, paid a hefty farewell to 2006 and kind of ruminated the memories of the past. We were happy. We thanked God for all that we had and got ourselves engrossed in merrymaking. Amidst all this we forgot the children of lesser God. They didn’t have a full meal for the past four days when we were wasting our food. No clothes to cover their bodies when we were paying thousands for the so called designer wears which could barely cover us. Least of all there is no medicine to heal their wounded souls. Oh! That hurts the most.
“If only everyone was rich. Everyone was happy.” This is just wishful thinking. On a second thought, wouldn’t the world be a very monotonous place to live in. There is “West” where money just flows like water the African continent on the other hand marred with poverty, disease, illiteracy. There are other problems facing the world too. Some fanatic individuals in the name of religion ready to kill their brethren. Has God really asked for all these killings? The rich are greedy for power. Terrorism, bribery, poverty, theft, wars……………God the count is endless.
Small children don’t go to school. Probably their parents don’t have enough money to fund their schoolings. Little hands carrying weights , trying to feed themselves or maybe their entire family. There are millions of such children across the globe. Globalization and industrialization has made the world conversant with each other’s business activities. Why then is such a disparity? Why is their such a divide between the rich and the poor? What is the answer to the questions lurking above gnawing the flesh of the few good natured who really care.
LOVE, the four lettered magical word could probably be an answer. If everyone thinks about their counterparts in the other part of the world, the privileged think about the underprivileged, the rich about the poor. If only everyone lends a selfless hand, the world could be a better place. Whatever the help, small or big it is only an investment in your bank account of virtue……the returns I reckon would be large enough to last for endless births that one would take on this earth.
Mankind is the greatest gift. “Be human, behave human."

well written. but i can only classify it as wishful thinking. just wishing the misery to end wont end it. world doesn't work that way. rich will never love the poor. as much as u wish they do. even when YOU become rich, u'll hate 'em! Man is born selfish. those who are not are called Angels!
