I am an Offspring of the Capitalistic World

I am an offspring of the Capitalistic World

Colorful illusion is the dream of my night

Artificial life is the reality of my sight,

I am an offspring of the Capitalistic World.

*

I am an offspring of the Industrialist World

Fake shine of the glitter is my need

 Poor blood of the laborer is my feed

I am an offspring of the Capitalistic World

*

I am an offspring of the Deceitful World

 Just the weight of Gold attached in Jewelry, shows the depth of love in my heart,

Just the number of rocks embedded in jewelry, decides the love in my life,

 I am an offspring of the Capitalistic World.

*

I am an offspring of the Apathetic World

 Brightness of books is shame in my life

Wildness of selfies is pride in my life

I am an offspring of the Capitalistic World

*

I am an offspring of The Usury World

Luxurious packages of summer is the gratuity for corrupted people in my life

Cold shoulder packages of winter is the penalty for retarded people in my life

I am an offspring of the Capitalistic World

*

I am an offspring of the Human less World

Someone’s birth and death is Bread and butter of my life

My birth and death is bread and butter for someone else.

I am an offspring of Capitalistic World

*

I was an offspring of the Bloodthirsty World

Someone’s precious life was forgotten by the arrival of my colors

I will be forgotten too by the arrival of someone else’s colors.

I was an offspring of the Capitalistic World
