REDEEM
Can you ever forgive me
For my lapses
For my failures
To achieve the heights
Others made with ease
Can you ever forgive me
For my laziness
For my shyness
That made the difference
Of what I am today
Can you ever forgive me
For my truthfulness
For my unselfishness
This stopped me being
Where the others stay
Can you ever forget me
For my unblemished love for you
For my un-flinched protection
The day I fought for you
Alone on the roads of Berlin
Can you ever forget me
For my poems that touched your heart
The roots of which lie in you
Only words are woven by me
All of them rise to praise you
Can you ever forget me
That there was a humble soul
Who fought for his rights
Rights of the people
And spent half of his life in jail
Can you ever forgive me
For all the sufferings caused to you
During last twenty years
Due to mistakes, they say
Perpetrated by me
have you ever thought of it
what could happen
with your forgiveness
the world becomes a green pasture
flowers bloom in the trees
and we redeem our lost love
