Caught in a web of hatred


Day-15 OctPoWriMo-2017 (Prompt-Fighting the Urge to Vomit )



Image taken from google.



When I open the newspaper in the morning
I kind of get nausea while reading
The mayhem across the heartless world, where bloodthirsty hounds go killing
Without batting an eyelid, they fire at the innocents and leave them bleeding.

Where terror is disguised and misguided
The mind is wrapped and destroyed
Where greed takes the upper hand
No deadline for this madness to end

There are thousands who go hungry
Getting bombed and left to wander helplessly
Their stained bodies on canvas for display.

I am also a culprit, a self-centered soul
Living happily in my cozy world 
 I can only get angry and feel sorry.
