One month down
Of this new year
And where do we stand?
Everything’s as it used to be
Or maybe things are changing
Yeah, things are getting worse
Month: January 2019
While We Blame Death
While we blame Death
And her gruesome scent
Suffering makes merry
To her heart’s content
Math vs. Poems
I am writing poems
When I should be doing math
But should I be doing math
When I can write poems?
Be Not Afraid Of Death
Son, be not afraid of Death
‘Tis my advice to you
Life will hurt you more
Than Death could ever hope to
The Curse Of The Lands
I surrender my heart
My body, my soul
My faith and my spirit
My one and my all
I surrender my trust
My power untried
My love and my wisdom
My freedom, my pride
I surrender my life
Put it all in your hands
Deliver me forever
From the curse of the lands
A Sky Full Of Stars
A sky full of stars
Each one has a story
Is yours, my dear friend
Wrapped in shame or glory?
The Blue Sky Calls My Name
All my life I have feared
I may lose all that’s dear
But now all that seems so clear
…
As I lie on this rough bed
As I count my final breaths
Death has lost all of its dread
…
Oh mother, you know I love you
Tell Dad I love him too
Oh lord, it was a thrilling ride
Going out with love and pride
Tell me, what is that sound?
Shots fired all around
All is changed, all is same
The blue sky calls my name
…
Every dream I had in me
Everything I wished to be
Are now lost in memories
…
Breaking free from all my chains
All is changed, all is same
With the sky calling my name
A Drop Fell From A Cloud
A drop fell from a cloud
A fruit fell from a tree
A tear dropped from your eye
Then I wasn’t me
…
I tasted that tiny drop
Bit off that fallen fruit
Wiped that tear with happiness
Then I became me
I Wish You Not To Be Rich
I wish you not to be rich
With bags and buckets of wealth
I wish you happiness which
Instead comes with perfect health
A Cosy Bed
All day long we chase the dollars
To sleep in a cosy bed
And in chasing those lofty dollars
We lose the sleep we always had
