State of denial


Listen to their cries of help ..
Listen to nobody ..
Listen to what they cry about ..
Listen to the nothing they say ..
You and the one next to you,
See no one in rue ..
For power your brothers you slew,
Nobody just grew ..

You're an old man now, time just flew,
Nobody would feel sorry for you ..
Chasing fame, fortune and greed,
Shaking hands blind,
And those sanctions you signed,
A deal with the devil you agreed,
The sight of all the gold,
Making you nothing but bold,
But at the end of the candle,
You knew you would stumble ..
Little did you know you'd be so washed up,
Nothing but another of humanity's hiccup ..
Today, the same rules, they would apply,
Say all you want, no one will hear you deny ..

You were just living in a
State of denial ..
There was never turning back from this
State of denial ..

Microwave life


Wake up frozen,
To the ringing clock,
Set the timer,
Aah, and then starts the day ..
Tut tut tut,
Waste no time,
You're walking on a line,
Delay no more,
Or the train would have passed ..
Get working,
Push a button or two,
Be alert, be awake,
You could be eaten up by a snake ..
Say cheers, say please,
Get out of the way,
There are always some beers,
And don't forget to say thank you ..
Some say chill,
But aren't I on a hill ?
I'm here just for a meal,
So what's the big deal ?
There comes my meal,
With it's own seal,
It's safe it says,
To warm it up a bit,
But then, who really cares ?
Crawl back,
With a heavy head,
With thoughts of nothing,
And hopes of everything ..
All I want is a warm bed,
And dreams of you ..

Maybe dream I would,
Of waking up warm,
When I wake up next,
With you by my side,
Aah, if only it were,
A microwave life !

The simple song

In the sea of time I swam,
A million lifetimes long,
Oh, she came like the wind,
And I fell in love ..

I asked her to come away,
We'd run and not return,
We'd sit on the rings of Saturn,
With the rest of the universe & only until forever with her,
I'd whisper in her ears how much I love her,
I want to tell her,
But I can't tell her,
I want her to listen,
But she just can't,
She's so far away !

So here I am,
With this simple song,
Occupying my mind,
Singing, this one goes out to the one I love ..

(Damn you REM !)

When I rest

I cared not for the fame,
I cared not for the fortune,
Nor for the song I sung,
Out of tune ..

I was good, I was evil,
I was an angel, and I was the devil ..
All those things people say,
Reminded me of the rising waves at a bay ..

But I have walked the road,
Been there, done that ..
I look towards west, bored,
And walked into the sunset ..

As those doors of dusk open,
Showing the light out,
Here I lay cold and broken,
Speaking the words I never wrote about ..
For as sure as I'm about tomorrow's morning,
I knew ever since I was born,
That I would lie to rest, wondering,
Never knowing what it says on my tombstone ..

(RIP Steve Jobs ! You did great, in case you ever wondered !)

Fool melodious

I remember the time,
When I sang the first song,
I din't even try to rhyme,
I was sure I'd do no wrong !

Was flying high like a dove,
Seeing only blindness ..
Coz I was just a fool in love,
I became a fool melodious ..
