Where’s that perfect world…
Which I thought existed somewhere?
This isn’t the place where I belong
Dreams here gets killed
Before they are born.
Like some second hand citizens
Of a third rate world
Aren’t we livin’ just for the sake of it?
Why should I force myself to smile…
When my soul wants to cry?
Every moment the virgin mind is raped…
And we just sit back as if to enjoy.
Sometimes my mind struggles to endure the storm…
Like the day I saw a girl child in the city square.
Why did destiny played such a cruel game upon her?
Crying hoarse for some coins
To douse the fire within.
On her face I saw an angel
In fetters, in bondage.
Trying to break the shackles, trying to breakfree.
I saw in her eyes the sweetest of dreams
But can she fly when her feathers are clipped?
Contrived minds of a make-believe world
Where virtues falls short before a cause
People run after pelf
So that atleast they can die rich!
I wish I could help you O’ li’l angel
But I’m poorer than you…
atleast you’ve your dreams for a better tomorrow.
Take all that you can possibly gather
Away from me…
If that’s gonna bring a smile…
On your tear stained features!
As long as you are in the streets…
O’ God how can I sleep?!
This isn’t the place where I belong
Dreams here gets killed
Before they are born.
Like some second hand citizens
Of a third rate world
Aren’t we livin’ just for the sake of it?
As the bus picked up speed
My eyes tried to catch a glimpse...
Of her for the last time
Maybe one day I’ll come up with answers
For the questions her eyes silently asked.
One day...
