To be or not to be

Moving from one place to another is scaring. More scarier when moving empty hand. To different place, different people, culture, and language that I knew before. Loneliness was the only friend that I knew for a long period of time. This is the result of loneliness. Loneliness, I will never forgot you. You was faithful  friend when I was lonely.

To Be or Not to Be
Whether I was born to enjoy life or to suffer
By the human-made or natural disaster
The slings and arrows of outrageous poverty
The fear and ignorance of undiscovered future
What is to come? How would I prepare?
I have all these technological devices of 21st century
I thought it may help me to socialize  
On the social media to make friends
Instead they are windows to unworthy world
The hate and killings all over the places
Devastating our community, the mortal’s proud
Loneliness and isolation developed
Drought and disease poured
Walkig empty stomach during the day
Forgot everything fall asleep perchance
Suddenly woke-up for the scaring dreams
That I lived in calamity for too long
Reminded my mind where I belong
Rest is yet far to-come in my world at this time
Rather I die and disappear of these problem.

Beauty is in Words.
