The world has gone mad

It's a strange world we live in.

One of the safest places to sleep is besieged by cowardly boys calling themselves men.
The busiest railway station witnesses a massacre by "men" who enter by sea.
One of them caught, not known how many dead, not known how many still alive, where they be!
One cannot but help laugh at the prospect of their strength being only ten.

It's a strange world we live in.

The country that divided brothers 60 years ago, now decide to flee back to their soil
leaving the still blind and angry brothers to fight in turmoil.
For them, it was a game then, one of their many ploys
They don't realize it is a game now, played by boys.
They run now in the name of terror,
have they any idea their scars will remain forever?
Yet, shamelessly we ask them to stay,
like everything is all ok.
From the same country we demanded a "Quit"
now we beg them to send back their playing unit.

It's a strange world we live in.

Television channels had a field day.
They thought they had things at bay.
Oblivious to the fact that they could be hindering the rescue.
They turned deaf, running after survivors for an interview.

It's a strange world we live in.

Politicians played their vote bank cards,
they think they are scholars or even bards!
Their mouths reek of insensitivity,
they treat people with such triviality.
Jokers they are in this kingdom of falling cards,
leading this nation like a bunch of retards.
No respect given to the fallen soldiers,
now their heads roll like boulders!

It's a strange world we live in.

Where do we start on the people of this country!
They feel anger, betrayal, hurt and sorrow,
but they forget, they are the one's who build tomorrow,
yet they go up in arms against the system THEY set,
like a crying baby when its demands aren't met.

It's a strange world we live in.

It's a world where no one is a hero and there is everyone to blame.
To be in such a state is to be in a state of shame.
Pointing fingers everywhere, like we're all so brave,
The man the nation calls her father,
must be crying in his grave.

It's a strange world we live in.
And it's gone mad.
But now is not the time to give in.
THAT would be really sad.
