You, Me and Worldly Melancholy

Obligations turn me anxious,
I give birth to trepidations,
Life needs some meditation,
But is there any room for introspection???

Obligatory streets , noisy crowds,
Filaments of misjudgments,
Screams of blasphemy,
In the name of prosperity and polygamy.

Obsessions of self-pride,
Hallucinations of disguise,
Will you hold the lamp and walk in rain?
Will there be a boulevard beyond pain?

Obscurity of defeat, conceit, retreat,
Propensity of mislead beliefs,

Will you hold the cross and burn your heart?

Will there be peace and a warm regard?

                       

“Oblivious” is the word I wish to carry,

Snapshots of deaths, Flashes of pain,

How long will my heat refrain?

Insanity will bribe me to be sane.

 

O’ I wish I could sneak inside my heart,

Auto possessions, hatred and disregard,

I wish to banish all this high and up hard,

I wish to make the world be a better place to live in…

 

Oh, hold on my mind, put your specs,

See the world is no more a hoax,

It’s you and me, me and you…

It’s this that the world is all about….
