I open my eyes to this world everyday, thinking today may be it will be better.
I look at the sky everyday, thinking perhaps, today the sun might come out
I open my windows to the street outside...thinking maybe today, the child across the street will sleep peacefully, without being beaten up....

I open my windows to the street outside...thinking maybe today, the child across the street will sleep peacefully, without being beaten up....
Perhaps this the day , when people wont need reasons to hug each other and when they wont need an occasion to smile .... Today there will be no more accidents, and no more angry displays of nature...no storm, no earth quake, no blasts...any where in the world..
May be sometime today if I close my eyes, I might get to listen to that perfect silence inside me... and then when tired, finally when I step out at the end of the day and look up...I hope there will be a canopy of midnight blue sky spilled with clear stars, blinking their eyes at me...and and if I am lucky perhaps even, the child across the street might smile at me and I may just stand there watching him fall asleep cradled in the silent arms of the night....!
Perhaps, tonight i will go to bed without a thought and would sleep through without a dream....
Floating atop the peace inside me...drifting from one world to another!
Alas, but this is only a dream! Just a dream and nothing more...
I open my eyes today ...and I see suffering, I listen and I hear nothing but screams...
As it is now, the world makes me cry a river inside me ..every day. Its pain- its unbearable pain. I, like many of us, choke on it everyday and die a millions deaths every day! I wonder why people are scared to smile, I wonder why there is no respect. I wonder why they are unkind to our planet..I wonder why there is so much bitterness.

Everyday millions of children are born here, with closed eyes and folded palms; with only one dream in their minds; a dream no different to mine...
A dream without wings, a dream...that will die when they open their eyes!
The starving children homeless and tortured, the killings, sufferings and bloodshed, the screams of abuse at one another, the mad noise of screaming urban life, the treeless rainforests, waterless riverbeds and lifeless toxic oceans, the struggle for pointless power and wealth and the torture in Gods name and a planet that is slowly wasting into oblivion ...where are we ...?
If this is so,I wonder if it is the last flutter.....
If you remember correctly, we were meant to smile everyday when it all began....not cry!
