Where Are You All?

Trust is crucified.
Faith is falsified.
Truth is terrified.
Conscience, are you there?

Friendship is feigned.
Love is longed.
Compassion is choked.
Heart, are you there?

Parents are deserted.
Children are neglected.
Spouses are separated.
Responsibility, are you there?

Book is judged by the cover.
All are attracted to money power.
Morals are imbibed from devil’s demeanor.
Values are you there?

Where have you all gone?
World is lost and forlorn.
Has this century displaced you?
Is Nostradamus’ prophecy turning true?
