CAN YOU IMAGINE……….?

Can you imagine
a scientist
an intellectual
or for that matter
a genius
starving for days together
in a pitiless world?
Can you imagine the
ordeal of
an illiterate poor
a skinny woman
a poor girl child
and for that matter
any child
undergo
days together without food
and clothes
unable to make both
ends meet
whereever they are?
Can you imagine millions
of Somalians
suffering from famine
and fleeing to refugee camps
and falling dead on
the way
tired and without a
drop of water to quench
their thirst
and for that matter
mothers who are compelled to
leave half-way their
dying children
whose innocent eyes haunt them as
long as they continue to
be in the world?
These are all facts
tragic facts
which happen right before
our eyes
chilling
mind-boggling, everything.
And for that
matter
can you digest the naked
truth of
millionaires and billionaires
caring two hoots for the
ordeals of millions
wining and dining with their
families, friends and relatives
in their multi-storied flats
celebrating life each day?
