Labelled Justice
God provides people the road to heaven
Yet they walk towards the gates of hell
Our language minted the word "loneliness" to express one's pain when alone
and the word "solitary" to express the tone
The umbrella blocks the rain
But chokes the sun from swaying on our skin
Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin
We use simplistic thinking to understand and deal with complexities
Though prejudice and discrimination accompany us throughout our lives
You say it is beautiful when you saw a rose
And you say it is odious when you saw the snake
The beauty and ugliness of the world change by chance
And sometimes merge into one
Darkness and corruption hide beneath an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility
We often feign expressions of faith
and acts of devotion to show humanity
It has no connection with rationality
Instead, only to satisfy their vanity
They sugarcoat the essence of the devil
The evils of human nature are concealed by bombs and missiles
Let the thoughts go unchecked
this sharp knife will pierce through all suspects
and all the darkness will be exposed to the eyes of neglect
We tag people with different labels
and those labels, in turn, reshape the conversation on the table
No fragments remain in the memory except for the ripples
Stories are fable
Those images displayed to the outside world have been embellished
and dependent thinking disabled us to see the nature of the contradicted
It is a shame
that emptiness and ignorance have become the crime
People despise each other and flatter at the same time
They want to judge others with pride
but finally, crawl in front of others’ feet telling lies
It is a world with praise and arrogance coincided
Without any place to hide
