PEEP WITHIN

       When value systems change
       And morals too decline;
       When demoniac forces grow
       To dominate the mind.

              When materialistic urges build up
              To squeeze the trust of time;
              And perversions invade the intellect
              Of unbridled minds.

       When principles get replaced
       By conveniences undefined;
       And Hypocrisy infiltrates
       To make the learned blind.

              When wisdom sheds its grace
              And virtue gets maligned;
              When faith in systems degenerates
              And rogues operate from behind.

       When everyone looks crazy,
       And claims he has no time;
       To conscience or conscientiousness
       He doesn't want to bind.

              And still he wants to climb the ladder
              Leaving everyone behind;
              Each failure shakes his pride
              No success makes him kind.

Who can make him taste the truth
       Whose tongue is not refined ?
       An attempt for a 'PEEP WITHIN'
       May tell him he is blind.

              Each one of us needs to alter
              Our attitudes I find;
              The horrid, clumsy thoughts we have
              Churn out polluted minds.

       Values such as Love, Truth and Duty,
       Do not wither with time;
       One has to earn the Grace of God
       And keep them as sublime.

              His Grace is there, the conscience knows,
              For loving hearts and humble minds;
              For ego-less and devoted ones,
              Who glide over the tides of time.
