When the rain kept falling
when it should have stopped
flooding the fields
before the harvest
When the birds kept crawling
when they should have fought
for a flight – they were born for
for a sight, their spirits longed for.
when the men kept brawling
over reasons so stupid
and the children kept following
eyes closed – hypnotized by reasons unreal!
i packed my bag…
and sneaked out onto this path
through the backdoor of this stage
for it holds hopes for my dream,
and a boat for my escape!
If you think that you already know,
then its better if you go.
If you feel that i am angry,
[don’t worry]
i’ll never let my feelings show.
And,
if you’re trying to frustrate me,
i’ll find a way to disagree!
talk sweet and use me
but i’ll know when
you’re trying to abuse me
stop once!
think twice!
And now,
if you’ve cleared your mind
and if,
you’re ready to receive,
i have,
this small advice to give:
Raise
your voice if
your words seem to fade away.
Raise
your eyes if
you get looked down upon.
Raise
your hands when
someone needs help.
Raise
your steps if
the ground underneath slides.
Raise
your heart to
a point of self-respect.
Raise
your mind against
this ever-burning rage!
we reach out for light
to find ourselves
in the darkness
we try to trap love
with a heart
that thinks evil
we try to care
with
possessive altercation
we reach out for peace
in the things
that take it away from us
and we think,
so much
that life is important
just for the sake of thinking
just for the sake of living
after death!
after death??
Please!
Give me a place
to pour out this rage
or
i’ll get burnt, i swear
and
i’ll burn you out with me!
