Original Submission by Vishvajit Gautamadasa

Unlucky?

Pondering all day long,

How unlucky we are to be born. Yet that thought you know it ain't true. Take a good look all around you!

Something is always gone a miss. For some it is a mother's kiss... For others, it is the peaceful bliss, While some crave the world's dismiss...

The food, the air, the water so pure, Many perish of disease with no cure, Eyes to see, ears to hear,

Still silence fills both eye and ear…

A home to cherish ,a bed to lay, That day to come do they ever pray. Hands to clap, legs to run,

They look up and watch the sun.

Greed has grown,

For their tale foretold.

Wondering ,all day long,

How lucky are we to live upon.
