In search of joy!

Marching in the queue;slowly ahead
With scores of complaints on my head
In search of peace
In search of joy!

Before me stood many men
some sick blind some lame
In search of health
In search of joy!

Men shrunk with hunger
Men burning with anger
In search of food twice a day
In search of joy!

Rich and lonely with bundles of money
Craving for 'theirones';around if any
In search of love
In search of joy!

Orphans Robbed Mentally retareded
Gulping their own tears;frustrated
In search of justice
In search of joy!

I could think;see;stand on my own feet
I was so beautiful; loved and complete
I stepped back as I realized
My joy was always in search of me!
