Who to blame ?
Happiness and prosperity
Two words , very pithy and pretty
May mean things entirely different
To men , yardsticks are inherent
In their upbringing and environment
Negation of dreams and fulfilment
To some , a clean road may not be
A religiously guarded priority
To others , a neat home , prosperity
Comes with cleanliness guarantee
To some two square meals a day
Seems a goal , incredibly faraway
Everything else
Increasingly pales
Into minor irritant
Wholly insignificant
When survival is at stake
Glitter and glamour is fake
Clean homes , glistening car
A far cry.Distant, irrelevant star
All cries of civic sense , pollution
Is just another slogan for election
"Be the change we wish to be"
Let the first person to obey
His own wishes , throw the rock
At all the ignorant , illiterate flock
Till then , we are all in this together
A collective colossal guilt , to bear
The man who spits on the street
Is , unfortunately, not very different from me . It is us , not them
Our lack of rules , our blame .
