One more stab

One more stab 

Sometime in the mid summer night darkness 
I frequent my heart to check it still throb
When events contradict the righteousness 
My heart slowly bleeds ,..one more stab 

When I hear of gory crimes against children 
Yet , a little thankful I am, that’s not my child .
Hate to meet my eyes in mirror, yes am sad
Wounded heart slowly bleeds,..one more stab 

When there’s riots over caste creed religion 
Blaming rulers politicians for this mayhem 
Absolving myself from all the responsibilities
Wounded heart slowly bleeds ,..one more stab

When the air quality in metropolis is in red zone 
I take my car to my work, no carpool,no metro
One car does not make a difference ,I’m convinced 
Wounded heart slowly bleeds,..one more stab 

When early morning see a child delivering new paper
overlooking fact it’s his school time,I swing in balcony 
I conveniently look other way ,blaming the dispensation
Wounded heart slowly bleeds, ..one more stab 

When my staff want a leave to attend his ailing mom
I think of the schedule ,work progress disturbance 
Tossing pros and cons of truth ,monkey balancing 
Wounded heart slowly bleeds,..one more stab 

When I pay for a designers dress that cost a bomb
Observe a destitute asking for alms at traffic signal
I ask driver to roll the car windows tinted glasses 
Wounded heart slowly bleeds,..one more stab 

For every crime , corruption and unruly incident 
Equipped with disregard,disdain and blame game
Escapism,safe route,surrender no fight for right.
Wounded heart slowly bleeds,..one more stab
