Disease & the cure

Now if I die,
I wonder if you'd cry ..
I just don't know why,
But I'm tempted to try ..

Need to find a cure,
Before the feeling takes over ..
But I got to be sure,
Else, its all over ..

Reasonable ambition ?!

Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form,
Sometimes it seems nice, sometimes it even feels warm ..
But it is not something that'll always bring reform,
It might feel like you're drinking your tea lukewarm !

So I reason, why am I stuck at work,
working like a clerk,
Because all it brings to me is irk,
all thanks to that jerk ..

How I want to be a rock star,
driving around in a big car,
playing to the world my guitar,
all cheering even though it always sounds bizarre ..

I'll work my ass off so that i'll make it one day,
take out from my life everything that is in disarray,
i'll make sure i'll be nobody's prey,
i'll mold my life like a potter does to clay ..

The foolish land

I had once set out to explore the beautiful world,
Came across things of beauty and things that were bizarre ..
When I saw a man trying to drink from the far side of the glass,
Thought I was just passing by the foolish land ..

Felt like I watching a snake that's being uncurled,
Ammunition shops that formed in what they called a bazaar ..
Houses where people are said to be fed to the gas,
Corpses dumped in heaps, like it was a wasteland ..

The king, angry with the abuses being hurled,
Contemplating the future while smoking a cigar,
Recites a speech trying to change the mood of the mass,
Arguing that he's the biggest patriot in the homeland ..

So surprised to see how swiftly people enter the dreamworld,
Like they are swaying to the gentle music from a guitar,
Forgetting all about the recent incident of the teargas,
I just hope done passing by this foolish land ..

A name

I've been searching around the world,
Trying to find out my name ..
One day maybe I will find,
And maybe it will gain me acclaim ..

Before I get too old,
Need to accomplish my aim ..
Maybe it's a name that changed mankind,
Hearing it they might exclaim ..

Need to find it, so some stones I hurled,
And set some to flame ..
Maybe the way its designed,
It might put some to shame ..

Like a mystery that unfurled,
I found out my name ..
It was nothing the way I outlined,
But like they say, what's in a name ..

Logophobia

Will he ask me to elope,
Will he ask me to buy some dope,
Will the dame say nope,
I'm afraid to open the envelope ..

Have the enemies moved closer,
Does he really have cancer,
Did I lose another acre,
I'm afraid to read the letter ..

Did they reject my vote,
Didn't all fit on the boat,
Did he make me a scapegoat,
I'm afraid to read the footnote ..

Do I say goodbye,
Do I say lets meet in July,
Will they raise an outcry,
I'm afraid to reply ..

The day that couldn't get worse ..

Woke up in the afternoon with a bad hangover,
Everything seem to move much slower,
A big heavy head I had to nurse,
Can't help thinking about the day that couldn't get worse ..

Gathered my clothes and headed to the bath,
But I always thought it was a straight path,
An empty tank meant I had to go without a shower,
And I thought the day couldn't get any lower ..

Picked up my keys and headed towards my bike,
In the front tire, found a nail as big as a pike,
Muttered something that sounded like a curse,
Thought the day just couldn't get worse ..

Got on a bus to get to work,
All day I had to listen to that jerk,
I even had to skip my lunch,
That was one day I could have used a punch ..

Spoke to the one on whom I had a crush,
On any other day, you could see the blush,
But made me feel I was speaking in reverse,
Was sure the day couldn't get any worse ..

Headed home with a mind to read a book,
Found it in disarray, thanks to that crook,
Called the cops who said it would take a while,
Can't forget that day which forced upon me a smile ..

Seeking Utopia

Fed up with the world I live in,
Like a note on the board stuck with a pin,
Leading a life with the melancholy of a violin,
Need to put an end before the madness begins ..

Threading through the wheel of time,
I realise this when I'm in my prime ..
I think I'm suffering from myopia,
For I'm not able to see as far as Utopia ..

Heard it is a place filled with peace,
Where you can always feel the gentle breeze,
A place without the need for any police,
A place where your happiness will just increase ..

I want to start this noble quest,
I need to find this ideal society,
I hope I'll be invited as a guest,
For all my life, I've been seeking Utopia ..

Confused !

I'd like to walk away,
But not go too far away ..
Maybe I should stay at the same place,
Maybe I should increase my pace ..

I stay awake in bed all night,
Listening to the sounds the clock doesn't make ..
My thoughts all wandering out of turn,
About the dreams that never come ..

Brightened blackness

How I long to see a shooting star..
How badly I need to make a wish ..
Times like these show who you really are ..
The sky's the ocean and you just a small fish ..

Can I walk away from these troubled times,
Without being called a coward ?
Can't life be like a song that rhymes,
Coz mine feels like an anchor being lowered ..

Nothing seems to be going right ..
However high I fly, I always fall on the ground ..
I feel like getting into a fist fight,
With the crunching of bones the only sound ..

I don't mind if I leave the mother,
Who's taken care of me like no other ..
Because In this world I just seek happiness,
But all around me I see only the blackened brightness ..

There are times you ask yourself,
Is this how I want to lead my life ?
Breeding greed using something they call a job,
But eventually realising you're nothing but a door knob ..

When did the destruction of the human begin ?
Were we so ignorant we couldn't even see ?
Were we blinded by the money and the power ?
I think He just sat back and said let them be ..

But when you feel like the dark cloud with the silver lining,
You can't help but wonder if it's all His doing ..
There's an infinite joy you feel that's beyond your reach,
But find it you will eventually if in the right place you search ..

There have been wars fought,
Sometimes for the women they sought ..
You'll realise whatever happens life goes on,
And I think I'll stop before i go on and on ......

Still life

A place where smiles never disappear,
A place where friends are there forever ..
You could even see the beauty of the captured soul,
That's just life as seen through a pin-hole ..

Let there be music

And we were all sitting at a big round table,
I could even spot Kane, you and Abel ..
There are lots of fruits and meat to dine,
Strangely, I could even see all kinds of wine ..

We were celebrating something I didn't really know ,
There was only one at the table who looked really low ..
I knew He was the one throwing the party,
I noticed He was just sipping on some coffee & tea ..

I walk up to Him, with a wine glass in my hand,
Told Him with a smile, it was the best in the land ..
He looked straight into my eyes, I could see His hurry ..
The lines on His forehead were definitely of worry ..

Pull a chair son, He said, and sit to my right,
Let there be light, He said, and the room was very bright ..
Let there be music, He said, and looked at me,
I gulped down hard, & thought, why does it have to be me ?

I sang Him a song, about the only thing I thought we had in common ..
About the forests dark green and the earth rich brown ..
About all the crawling creatures & all the wild beasts ..
Of the fish underwater and the birds and their rhythmic beats ..

Midnight snack

Just around midnight, I remember going to bed,
Needed no invite, for heaviness was filling up in my head ..
Didn't need the warmth of the covers, I could have slept on hay,
But sleep I did, thinking about the woman I met during the day ..

Was it a dream or was it a nightmare ?
It felt so real, for with the other ones I cannot compare ..
My emotions were a flood, the ocean just a speck,
Then why did I drink her blood, by biting her neck ?
