LIFE ON THE EDGE

We all address it by one name, life,
Many a times accompanied by lots of strife,
At times sharp as a knife,
Hitting to the very best we preserve


Learning to live is learning to be immune,
With all the economic misgivings,
Our greenback always on a sagging curve.
And the financial prudence detoriated.


Contention, the order of the day,
Daily assassinations having their way,
Our relations washed up everyday
Is there any one who cares???


Big, small, men, women young and old ,
Helplessly lying in the rooms very cold,
And this we call news to the world,
While the felons freely mince their gold.


Scores, tears have become their villets,
Mourning the agony of losing their Romeos,
Others maimed during the boots,
With which they have to live with for aeons.


The once healthy beings turned pale,
Once bread winners turned beggars,
To many hospitals become their new homes,
And this comes with free heavy medical bills.


Do we admonish the state??
Pick blame and gaze forces?
Who can counter claim the million questions,
Haunting the minds of the population???
