Smile On The Faded Faces

History unfolds,human concern opens the doors towards the sky ,
While self-centred selfish creed says to humanism, ‘good-bye.’

When the sad songs of shrivelled humanity go unheard ,
Arrogance dances nakedly, and demon laughter is heard .

Roots of sadism lying in the heart and mind, sprouts into venomous creepers,
Make sufferings of the commoners intense, snatching their due humbled cheers .

Let the claimants of humanitarianism come forward, justifying their roles selflessly,
And strive to bring about smile on the faded faces, enabling them stand gracefully.

-Dr. R. S. Tewari ‘Shikhresh’ 6.2.2026
