WHO WILL STAND IN FOR US?



WHO WILL STAND IN FOR US? 


Who will stand in for us?
Filling the gaps of death
On a tour outside the earth. 
Travelling to a world unknown
To a destination untold.

Who will stand in for us?
Bearing our burdens and
Curbing our fears,
Replacing our losses, 
Willing to be all ears.

Who will stand in for us?
When we all are desperately desiring powers,
And desires to mount on the eagle's tower. 
Neglecting and forsaking our neighbours,
Turning away from their visible labours.

Who will stand in for us?
Knowing the leaders in politics
Aren't in anyway loyalist
But devourers and tormentors,
Training to be hardened oppressors.

Who will stand in for us?
Spiritual men or clergy men?
Whose works are parallel to their creators, for reasons best unknown,
And the league of tormentors.

Who will stand in for us?
The visionless youth? Who knows the truth but treads in darkness,
Since light seems to be useless.

Who will stand in for us?
I fear, no one would, 
Every man for himself,
And the Almighty God, for all.
