PROSHNO

YOU HAVE SENT THEM ALL, ONE BY ONE AND YET EACH DID FALL...
IN A TUMULTUOUS UNKIND SOCIETY....
PREACHING OF FORGIVENESS...SPREADING LOVE ...
KILLING THE INNER DEMON,IN A PRAYER FULL OF PIETY ....

WORTHY MEN, HONORABLE YET,
OUR DOORS WERE FASTENED TIGHT
A THANKLESS GOODBYE IS ALL WE HAD...
FOR THEIR PURGING LIGHT !

SIGHTINGS OF THE DARK ENVY, SPARING NOT A SOUL,
I HAVE SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS KICKING THE INNOCENT'S RICE BOWL...
I HAVE SEEN THE WEEPING VICTIM, I HAVE SEEN THE CRIME...
YET IN ALL THIS I HAVE SEEN...
THAT JUSTICE IS BUT A MIME....

I HAVE SEEN THE YOUTH STRIVE HARD...
FANATIC IN QUEST...
YET IN ALL IT WAS JUST BLOOD,
THE GRAND PRIZE FOR HIS ZEST....

WORDS ARE FAINT, MY VOICE IS ILL,
THE NOTES OF FLUTE STAND STILL...
THE NIGHT IS DARK,
MY DREAMS ALL LOST..IN SCARY SIGHTS..
AND HENCE I ASK AT WILL...

ALL THOSE MEN WHO SPRINKLED HATE
WHO POISONED THY LIGHT WITH DARK...
WOULD YOU LET THEM GET AWAY,
LOVE THEM, QUESTION MARK(?)

But ask me to justify my love...   I wouldn't , not if I am slain..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all...  Quick sand, is not just for the beaches...  It has drained life, breath, blood and love,  let alone petty riches..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all, ti...

Its All Coming Back To Me

They say that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Now some purist might just pounce upon me and question why or how dare i refer " Sir Isaac Newton" as a relative pronoun. But the point is, its not physics that I am talking about . Rather the matter that intrigues me is the fact that how come life gives a chance to everyone to get even. Yes call it destiny, or misfortune for some, but the gains made by one is always at someone else's expense. Success is fleeting. Status is even more vague. For these never lasts just as long as you would like them to be. Its a easier up-shift rather than climbing down the stairs in society , but when you are sometimes pushed up, its inevitable that you would surely be grounded sooner or later. The facts that have inspired me, ranges far in the plains of Africa. I saw a Pride Of Lions on discovery. A Pride of Three lionesses , A Lion and their bunch of six month old cubs. The fact that these scenes were not fleeting as any...
