In haste goes its page
On delicate cliff hangs its ledge
Scathed, it survived to fledge
Morality lost a gauge
To oblivion goes the pledge
For lust for rights, shame picks up rage
A drifting world sure needs a wedge
The Populace needs a wage
Indifference hangs life on the edge
Hurry now!!! Roars the sledge
A busy world is trapped in the hedge
To gulp, gapes the cage
On exile, assault places the sage
Out of fear, courage drowns in a dredge
Naked, a broken world dances on stage
