People get greedy
Suddenly everyone becomes vain
They want more
They need more
Never satisfied
Never be thankful
Yesterday I just saw you passed by
You’re so naive then
Your face is so light
There was no burden
There was no competition
I can see the purity
I can see the truth
With every words
With every glance
I knew it was all real
I thought I’d just blink for a second
This maybe a clear trap
I saw you….ensnared
I saw you…..vague illusions
Disrupted my awakening
The transformation…
Gracefully carried out
But wait! I’m not loving the wings
It’s whimsical, magical
Thought it would lift you up
To the greenest grass
Where the rainbow painted
In colorful hues awaits
But the wings….it dragged you instead
Getting narrow each step you take
Constricted, convoluted
You wanna break free
That I can see
But it’s the wings again…..
Equal forces bickering
Which way to go?
It’s a killer dream
You must wake up
The sweet lies
The bitter promise
The fake strength
They were all made up
To make you believe
The folly allies
That takes you in
Where are they?
Can’t they hear you?
I have told you then
It’s okay to be here…
Right in this place
Where we used to be
You and I
Living in reality
Where dreams are not sky-high
Where stars are within reach
Where moon gleamed over us
The river hushed lullabies
The birds chirping to the sound of peace
Isn’t it wonderful?
To live a life
To live a dream
Without pretensions
Without lies
Just be yourself
It isn’t a sin
It isn’t a shame
Yet…..
For so many reasons
People can’t help…
To be greedy and vain
Change their past
Change themselves
Forget who they had
Throw up what they had
Embrace the new things
Break their vows
For fortune
For fame
Insensitive….
A sorry-tale
Such a sorry tale
