The Unanswered Question

by Pranab Ghosh / July 28th, 2019

When times betray,
When commands fail,
When Man questions
Man’s integrity,
When man succumbs,
When man gives up
When man gives away…

Who will save the
TIMES…
Who will save the
NATION…
Who will save the
EARTH…?

Traitors?
Sacrificial lambs?
Time?
Or
Man himself?

Man has the answer!
