Eyes...

When I looked into those fiery red eyes,

In my mind a picture of violence took birth.

Where love, sanctity and compassion are defied,

Regretting why they were born on this earth.

When I looked into those dark green eyes,

They asked why the earth is so brown in hue.

I told them gone are the days when men tried

We are now left with blood-sucking parasites.

When I looked into those deep blue eyes,

I knew then how I wanted the world to be.

Like the colour of eyes where innocence lies

Of all the pain, a mind set free.

Every night in the prayers of these eyes, the question remains

‘Why did you make life so full of pain?’

I love these eyes and want to pacify

But what can I say when on this cruel earth, I myself was crucified.

The earth is deteriorating of which I once was so proud.

Gradually it’s covering in doom’s shroud.

Heal the world to make it a better place

For these innocent eyes and the entire Universe.

For, these are the angel eyes of beautiful children… and I am their GOD!
