Where has the trust among us gone

Once a word behind which all stood fast night to dawn

People used to live and die for the trust

Honor among all the odds was always first

Seems like trust too has become the victim of greed

Hearing and seeing moral values yet nothing heeds

Why have we become so insensitive towards morality?

What a shameless has become our personality

Trust began sliding when greed took over all of us

Whom to trust and whom not is merely a guess?

Values of life are traded to become rich and powerful

Crossing and running over all seems hardly pitiful

Alas we could comprehend the price we pay

All of us are in the same boat so nothing to say

If you believe in life hereafter than do the right thing

Empty came and empty we will leave does the bell ring
