Solitude by Ali Hamid Khan

Let us to solitude retire
For the pain we see around us
It is too much to bear
We have seen the beasts in men emerge
Tearing the social fabric apart
letting ataraxia slowly disappear into the enveloping mist.

Man is the beast  the evil that we fear
Today our world is swirling caught in chaos
Every corner has a skulking creature hiding
Waiting for his prey with lust and greed
Man is the predator and man the prey.
