At The Threshold Of The Void


Desolation in human life; absence of morality,

Uncertainty in decision; waywardness to principles,

Selfishness in sharing; falsity in expressions,

Greediness in riches; gluttony in eating,

Lethargy in effots; covetousness in fellow-beings' wealth,

Restlessness in thinking; negligence in caring,

Corruption in politics; cruelty in treatment,

Negativity in thinking; crookedness in deeds,

Oblivion in gratitude; density in self-centredness,

Vanity is life-style; impropriety in attitude,

 Racism in peoples; Casteism in communities,

Communism in exploitation; democracy in dictatorship,

Fanaticism in secularism; slavery in innocence;

Fall of economy; insecurity of human existence,

Starvation of the poor; luxuries of the rich;

Knowledge of Science; expenses in arms,

Bossism in power; nepotism in judgment,

Tomfoolery in religious mission; idolatory in worship,

Envy in fellow-beings' prosperity; sadism in brethren's distress,

Rivalry among fellow-beings; denial of individuality,

And so the world is at the threshold of the void.
