Above all desires, pondering
Over the nothingness that surrounds
Blocks all visions, hinders all sounds
Oblivion is nothing, but a dream
But we choose to live in ignorance
Change brings on an ugly nostalgia
Memories, wanting to be forgotten
The corpses lie in their graves, rotten
Holding on to beliefs, that show no light
Our greed has killed traces of insight
There’s only “me”, there is no “you”
And what grows old, loses its worth
Just as our values, our virtues did
Its only a dead nation, nothing more
Slaughtered by its hands, on its own.

Still Here
Broken, beyond repair
There’s deadness in the air
The arms that used to comfort me
Are no longer there
Caravans of tears, I have cried
In the depth of my mind, I’m terrified
A million little pieces, that can’t be re-collected
A crumbled tower, that can’t be resurrected
Time crawls by, and I’m still here
At a lost junction, in the middle of nowhere
There’s deadness in the air
The arms that used to comfort me
Are no longer there
Caravans of tears, I have cried
In the depth of my mind, I’m terrified
A million little pieces, that can’t be re-collected
A crumbled tower, that can’t be resurrected
Time crawls by, and I’m still here
At a lost junction, in the middle of nowhere
This City
I live in a city, where the traffic never stops
And the mind can never rest, till the breath ends
It’s a city of lights, of selfish desires
Where the nights never sleep, and the days are long
I live in a city, where appearances matter
Where information is abundant and knowledge, in a dearth
This city is the nightmare, I’ve been living since birth
Where relationships are not built, but broken
Where people are miserable, and the misery is unspoken
Where lust is sold in the name of baseless love
Where the only laughter is a mockery of the simpler
You might want to stay on, but I no longer do
And the mind can never rest, till the breath ends
It’s a city of lights, of selfish desires
Where the nights never sleep, and the days are long
I live in a city, where appearances matter
Where information is abundant and knowledge, in a dearth
This city is the nightmare, I’ve been living since birth
Where relationships are not built, but broken
Where people are miserable, and the misery is unspoken
Where lust is sold in the name of baseless love
Where the only laughter is a mockery of the simpler
You might want to stay on, but I no longer do
Can You Catch the Wind?
The breezy rhythm of Mother Nature
Its beauty, of unspoken stature
This wind, that blows the sand away
Minutes to hours, go astray
Yet, winds of time were never mine
They left me to regret and whine
I used my hands to see if I
Could capture the breeze that blows by,
I closed my eyes to touch the sky
To feel the clouds, that often cry
Yet winds of time were never mine,
They left me to regret and whine!
I’ve heard, all is within your range
If you believe, what they hold strange
I placed my faith in an unworthy crime
I tried to catch, what never was mine
It passed me by, it had places to go
It touched me gently, escaping me so
For, winds of time could not be mine
They left me to regret and whine!
The agony of loss has finally taught
Never should try, what you cannot
For the sun, the moon, the stars that shine
The motile breeze, are all divine
The wind, be it of weather or time
Refuses to be captured, leaves us in a shrine.

PEACE...A DISTANT DREAM
Have you ever got the feeling?
Of screaming and not being heard,
Have you ever felt the urge?
To fly free like a bird.
All we see is bombs and shelling
And innocent blood on the ground
To us, the laughter of little children
Is only a distant sound.
We saw happy dreams
Only to be left unfulfilled
We did nothing wrong,
Yet now, we are being killed.
Just try to listen and you will hear
The sobs of a child, crying in fear
He sits by his mother’s corpse in blood
While from his eyes, flows a flood.
Where are the days, when people smiled?
When the peaceful dove flew high,
But now, there’s only smoke from bombs
That clouds the once clear sky
What is the rule of this cruel world?
Are rules left at all?
The rule, that asks for death of men
And mighty buildings fall
Let’s try to stop this hatred!
Let’s open the door to peace!
Let’s raise our hands in prayer!
To make this cruelty cease!
Of screaming and not being heard,
Have you ever felt the urge?
To fly free like a bird.
All we see is bombs and shelling
And innocent blood on the ground
To us, the laughter of little children
Is only a distant sound.
We saw happy dreams
Only to be left unfulfilled
We did nothing wrong,
Yet now, we are being killed.
Just try to listen and you will hear
The sobs of a child, crying in fear
He sits by his mother’s corpse in blood
While from his eyes, flows a flood.
