Are we dead within, I hope we are not..

These are few lines i wrote to address the audience beginning the Social Week at MDI last year:

Our bodies look alive,

But are we dead within, i hope we are not..

Murders and killings don't affect us but cough and cold freaks us out,

Are we dead within, i hope we are not..

Mother earth is crying but we aren't listening,

Are we dead within, i hope we are not..

The future if this country in form of tiny hands go unnoticed begging on red lights,

Are we dead within, i hope we are not..

Faith & Religion the messengers of love have become thirsty for blood,

Are we dead within, i hope we are not..

People are dying because of obesity and people are dying because of hunger,

Are we dead within, i hope we are not..

Freedom for us is to break laws and create chaos,

Are we dead within, i hope we are not..

We all know of things affecting us but wait for others to start the action,

Are we dead within, i hope we are not..

The youth of this nation, this gathering gives me hope that we aren't dead within,

And i truly hope we are not..
