What do I see?

How do I see it?

I see a lot inside and outside of me

I see many ways and shades of life

I see life blooming in my little space

I see thirsty beings hovering around

I see the blazing sunsets and the drizzling rains

I see the seasons doing somersaults 

Yes, I see a lot in nature

But, what about human nature?

What do my eyes absorb in?

Aah! There lies the crux of the matter

The window to the perspective behaviors.

I see life through a kaleidoscope 

I see sugar-coated lies

I see honeycombed betrayal

I see sarcasm wrapped in a smile

I even see the hunger in the eyes of known and unknown.

I also get to see the hardened hearts and minds

I see angels left homeless

I see children separated from a womb

I see money rules the world

I see weapons are dearer than the earth

I see the eroding jungles and mercenary leaders

Alas! I see a lot and hardly do anything

Whatever happens, is none of my business

I close my eyes and live happily in my safe haven

I didn't hurt anyone and so my conscience is clear.

What an irony!!!
