I rummage through all the bins
Searching for something
That would end this longing.
I try my luck from one end to another
But nobody is answering my prayer.
I have been up and down these streets
I have rapped at all the doors

The opium of want intoxicates me
My throat is parched so and yet,
The oasis of hope has dried up.
Let me laugh at the banality of life
Let me laugh at you and me struggling………
