Currently the world is passing through a very tragic situation. The only news in the world today is the number of deaths by corona virus. Every day it is a new figure and we keep consoling ourselves with the hope that tomorrow it may reduce. Death of fifty or hundred people daily appears to be normal news for us.

the unreal world
this pretty world is full of ultimate disparities
someone is so rich and someone destitute
Someone is academician, someone illiterate
someone is Godman, someone is prostitute
someone is hale and healthy, someone sick
someone can see the world, someone blind
someone so pretty and someone grotesque
someone so ruthless and someone so kind
if we carry out a sting operation on them
we will find most of them are fraudsters
all the rich always stick to unfair means
and the Godmen are all great impostors
the helping hands are bloodstained
the protectors are the real attackers
humankind has evaporated from earth
the friends too are the backstabbers
nothing in this world is practically real
people are just living to die one day
still they don’t understand the fact
that only humanity is here to stay
