Why is it so?

Author: Shakeel Phullan

My existence in the universe,

Began with the introduction of a dream

To encourage and motivate the new generation

To move them towards the right path

My efforts continued for days and nights,

I was accompanied by my chums

Only to open my closed and fearful eyes,

To a world, full of modernisation

With the initiation of new creations,

I expected positive changes in each individual

For a brighter and shiny future

Me who nobody knew before,

Survived in life’s ups and downs,

While possessing multiple strengths and weaknesses

Finding out the right way to move on,

To spread brightness in the dark society,

Stopping other’s pains so they live comfortably,

Helping everyone to love humanity

Successfully, I did whatever was expected and continued on

But, the jealousness and criticisms of foes,

Have been dancing under my feet,

Making several propagandas with lies,

Only to defame me by cutting down my struggles,

But, what wrong was done by stopping my dreams?

Why is it so, and until when should I bear?

I need to think and observe

What happens next to stop me?

I always stay alert for inviting changes,

In the world of advancement!
