A Friend

A friend owns your heart Even though he gives it back Even when you are apart You know he’s got your back He’s a person who stays close by Even when you are acting stupid He encourages you when you are shy Or when you’re struck by cupid We may call lots of people friends …

Shame

It is an act of utmost shame When honesty is sacrificed for fame And when a people follows a product For its name, not its conduct Alas, my people, you have become so Your minds, as malleable as dough You prefer a foreigner with no name To your countryman’s rightful claim And then you shamelessly …

Weight a Minute

We arrived at a desolate stage Where a number other than age Defines who we are and what we mean And ruins our mood, previously serene Whether it is too high or too low Mentioning it deals a heavy blow Because people’s mindless talk and chatter Renders us slaves to this silly matter Regardless how …

Freedom and Religion

Brainwashed to think you’re free By men who think they know They lead you on and you follow While all you are is a devotee They think of you as a sheep in a flock While you follow on and hand your head You help them and their lies you spread While you’re no more …

Last Goodbye

If death were to knock my door tomorrow Would I leave a trail of dreadful sorrow Filled with regret, confusion and pain And pursuits which were extremely vain? If I were to leave this mortal world Would I leave affairs twisted and curled Complicated, hard and mysterious And yet so very serious? If I were …
