I just came to know a girl
Who I’ve known all my life
I told her she’s like a pearl
That she’d make a great wife
...

I have seen this happen before
You win, I lose, you keep score
Never have you told the rules to me
Asking you is like inviting blasphemy
...

more wrinkles on this young face
more experiences added to the pile
another step taken toward the final end
the journey reduced by another mile
...

Just the other day I saw her at the mall
Dressed in red, boots and a shawl
Her hair seemed to be in a perfect mess
She tried to straighten them with her gentle caress
...

from the pages of history this land has a story to tell
the great rulers and the kings lived and ruled with pride
from the great mountain ranges to the beautiful rivers
every thing here is magnificent and every person a guide
...

Away tonite alone i cry
Seeding the thoughts which might
Help me tomorrow to see my sight
Without which i would surely die
...

there's so much pain in the world today
man out to take the other out of his way
he wanders from time to time to find his prey
he has grown in his killing way
...

He shines with beautiful glory
Over the vastness of the earth
He gives life to the lesser mortals
Tasting his luminous nectar since birth
...

don't go away leaving me in this state
don't go away like this meant nothing
don't go away because you promise to come back
don't go away for i'd never want to see again
...

He grows
To one's delight
He grows
To other's plight
...

see me become a child again
he who has lost his ways
left alone in the unforgiving rain
unheard are the words he says
...

this place now is so serene
the sense of self can be felt not seen
contentment with every breath i take
never knew this could exist by a lake
...

She's gone, gone forever
Regretion covers me over
I did wrong, so very wrong
From the shame i can't take cover
...

This competition is all over my mind
But not in the best of way
Because it eats me slowly all day
Will I be able to be leave it behind?
...

so you see me every night
being scared and cold
i'm never out of your sight
so i am told
...

Their big egos will never make them see
What their so called justice has done
No child man woman can ever be
True to each other; has failed to be one
...

the fever grips the nation together
more than religion or equal to it, whatever
11 gods on the field they see
the young thinking 'one day that'll be me'
...

...

Times turbulent call for action
People dying, killing for satisfaction
Blood shed on the streets we see
The braves are shot, the cowards flee
...

Johny black sheep (of the family) have you any shame?
Yes dad yes dad I will honour my family's name
One I will study hard
One I will earn a lot
...
