Kicks in return
Mighty rule here and weakest suffer,
Kicks in return when ordinary gifts offer,
Why no system which acts as buffer,
Is there no right to say right and differ?
This question always made me puzzle.
Rain did not offer peace even when dazzle,
It continued to hunt and troubled always,
I sit motionless and try to find new says,
Why I am not that powerful as sun?
Why I always think of using the gun?
Is there no peaceful alternate?
Where all are equal and no subordinate,
Rulers have gone influential have taken over,
Scene remain same but clouds still hover,
No kicks in return but distrustful eyes,
No gestures but unwelcome scene and byes,
Why still remain history and disparity?
Is there any sense or high morality?
Why do we face question of seniority?
This is question faced by most of majority
World will not change even after destruction,
Face the dishonour even after precise instruction,
Matter remains same even stiffer than question,
Even you forget and bury deep in bastion,
It may still for many more centuries,
Distance may reduce even between countries,
Many changes may come with new entries,
Rules may change but not the sentries

Able and strong survive
It is generally believed that strongest survive
Others may not get chance to thin and revive
It is universal fact and got to be acknowledged
There is vast gap and that must be bridged
Mighty have always ruled and weakest suffered
Nothing in return for them is offered
Why there is conceptual difference?
Why not we not we draw any inference?
We must try earnestly and honestly to bride the gulf
The question must pertinently be asked to nobody but to iself
Only we are in position to address the system
The root must come out strongly from the stem
Why not to adopt a system which acts as buffer,
Have we any right to say no and differ?
It may be compulsion on our part to offer resistance
We shouldn’t go for it and seek instance
This question always lead me to puzzle
Rain did not offer peace even when started to dazzle,
it continued to hunt mind and troubled always,
I sat motionless and tried to find new ways,
Why am I not powerful like sun?
Why do I always think of using the gun?
Is there no peaceful or alternate?
Where there is supposed to be all equal and no subordinates
We are all equal in His eyes
There is no short or byes
We must follow the natural dictate
There must be rightful sign to indicate
Rulers have helped influential to take over
Scene remains same but clouds still hover
No thanks in return but reward with distrustful gesture
What is in store for our bright future?
Why still remain in history all kinds of disparity?
Is there any deep sense of feeling for high morality?
Why do we face question of unsimilarity or seniority?
This is pertinent question is faced by most of majority
World will not change even after complete destruction,
Face the dishonor even after offered with useful instructions
Matter remains same even harsher than question,
Even if you try to forget and dump deep in bastion
I shall do whatever I can in my ordinary capacity
There may not be fine blend or quality
Still it may remain as worthless try
Why anybody should feel guilty or shy?
It may still remain same for many more centuries,
Distance may reduce or gulf bridged between countries
many changes may take place and come with new entries,
Rules may change but not the composition of sentences

Voulez Vous
(b. andersson / b. ulvaeus)
People everywhere,
A sense of expectation hanging in the air.
Giving out a spark,
cross the room your eyes are glowing in the dark.
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end,
Masters of the scene.
Weve done it all before and now were back to get some more,
You know what I mean.
Voulez-vous? (aha)
Take it now or leave it! (aha)
Now is all we get, (aha)
Nothing promised, no regrets.
Voulez-vous? (aha)
Aint no big decision, (aha)
You know what to do. (aha)
La question cest voulez-vous?
Voulez-vous...?
I know what you think:
The girl means business, so Ill offer her a drink.
Feeling mighty proud,
See you leave your table, pushing through the crowd.
Im really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game,
Master of the scene.
Weve done it all before and now were back to get some more,
You know what I mean.

A new question has arisen in modern man's mind, the question, namely, whether life is worth living... No sensible answer can be given to the question... because the question does not make any sense.

Do I Have Something To Eat?
you ask me if i have eaten
it did not come to your mind if i have something to eat
but i will not correct your question
it is the most common question somehow
that is being asked by the majority of
those who do not really go deeper
into the matter,
ask me now, how about the hungry children of Africa?
the children of the rebels in Syria?
where food is prohibited, where plants do not grow because of the war,
please ask me that question.

Dina
It is arrival of spring in time
I look around and wonder sometimes
How come the change is noticed?
Flowers of different colors are well received
Well it is good coincidence
I have felt its presence
It is proving love’s essence
I must believe and follow hence
How come heart starts aching?
All signals and pulses catching
Everything appeals in good context
As if I have passed the entrance test
I wish no more sadness remains
All happiness and joy it retains
Love is very much powerful to contain
Make you wet and feel so cool in rain
Lovely days are ahead
Message is clearly understood and read
It is spirit of the spring and cool breeze
I wish it to be pleasant and pass it with ease
I am in love with my spring age
Still wish to remain with it and not come out of cage
Dina has entered the scene with powerful show
I wish to be with new season and go
She is so kind at hart and brilliant
Express powerfully and assertively her intent
She meant to be decisive and very precise
I must think twice and exercise
She is made of different material
Always yes for love and never offered denial
What does she may gain from my closeness?
She has won my heart for kindness
I have shown her my fresh creations
They are serious and not meant for recreations
She has long arm to catch the sense of sentence
She may bluntly halt me without any pretence
As I said she is brilliant at debate
I wish to contribute and relate
She is not an ordinary reader or blind follower
She is from rare breed and colorful flower
She heard me for countless hours
It was right and privilege of readers
I hesitated to come clean to her
I wished the storm to pass and wither
She is very much part of my poetry
She is fairy like appearance and entry
I wish her to remain as my ideal inspiration
Let there remain no doubt or any question

Gone were the days
Gone were the days of high standard
National sentiments only to look forward
Not a word to be said in dishonor
It was love for motherland and called for
Now no more nations but only ration
Cast, creed and religion only equation
More crowds and more weight
Individual is taken to new height
No qualification but only criteria
The hatred and intolerance prevail like bacteria
Land grabbers, mafias and dishonest rule
Public suffer and voice to ruffle
This present day of context
Hereditary rule is only best
Thousands of new rulers in form of misters
They prove to be known as dishonest and sinister
At the time of taking oath or as beginner
They were just an ordinary man or commoner
The fortune start swinging in no time or sooner
It serves as lucrative business for the opener
Money start changing hand
Known enemies or adversaries become friends
All find prosperous future at the end
Gather as much as you can with new trend
Deny the hand and offer argument
Avoid public appearance and offer no comment
Law will take its own course and punish the guilty
The skillful show with mastery, oratory and ability
The rulers are know criminals now
The public still loves them and no one knows how?
What is going to be fate for coming generation?
No one comes forward with startling revelations?
I may not weep along with others
I shall blame the self and bother
What can be fault on my part?
I have known politics as an art
Only faces change but not the scene
Same people come with new theme and seen
Indulging in same practice with lot more indemnity
It goes on with same intensity and continuity
I will have to accept it as incurable disease
Number of restrictions may not let or ease
The fortune is taken away from the land
And deposited secretly in foreign land
Who will raise the banner of revolt?
It may receive only set back or jolt?
You may be wiped out from the face of earth
You will be eliminated or face the death
Democracy was never a question
It was to b served as powerful institution
Nothing can be compared as best solution
Power is rested in hands of people with resolution
If you can not match with bullet
Use at least conscience and ballet
Do not allow grabbers and looters?
A free will to send shooters

Kicks
You thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night,
But, when you wake up in the morning, the world still gets you uptight,
Well, theres nothing that you aint tried
To fill the emptiness inside,
But, when you come back down, you still aint feeling right.
It seems like kicks just keep getting harder to find,
All your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind,
Before you find out its too late,
Youd better get straight,
But, not with kicks, you just need help now.
You think youre gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise,
But, it aint happened yet, so now youd better think twice,
Dont you see, no matter what you do,
Youll never run away from you
If you keep on running, youll have to pay the price.
Dont it seem like, kicks just keep getting harder to find,
All your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind,
Before you find out its too late,
Youd better get straight,
But, not with kicks.
To help you face the world each day,
That road goes nowhere,
Im gonna help you find yourself another way.
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
You dont need kicks, now,
And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind
You just need help, now,
Before you find out its too late, youd better get straight
Youd better, youd better, youd better.
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
You dont need kicks, now,
And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind
You just need help, now,
Before you find out its too late, youd better get straight
Youd better, youd better, youd better.
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out its too late, youd better get straight
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out its too late, youd better get straight
Fade out...

Changing World
Changing world changeth
Waiting for none to stop!
Do I change or not is the question
If not where do I stand is the puzzle!
Born on the earth to reach a goal
Came to the world to play a role!
Can I change the shape or shape the change
Thoughts relevant in mind to face!
Await not but bring the change
Anticipate the effect of change
Unforeseen may be the end
Understand that is the world!
Be yourself and behave yourself
Keep the good of all, all the while!

An imaginary conclusion
The sky and earth meet somewhere
if not at least they present the scene here
the illusory world with fake show
we think same and falsely grow
The sea too present same scene
somewhere at the distance two ends are seen
it is same scene with wrong impression
still we deny it and leave under confusion
Everybody is aware of the fact
still they pass the blame and angrily react
human tendency is such to think otherwise
where restrain is must to be looked wise
We go beyond certain limit
as long as it deems fit
the failure pushes to think differently
where as it was known and seen apparently
The human body is subjected to decay
it is unbelievable and causes dismay
We know there is no short cut or alternative way
no care is taken for enough attention to pay
We know it is difficult to catch the air
we are blinded by light and flair
it may cut across the sky
we may naturally think and question why
We have not grown with the age
It is still believed as general knowledge
parallels may look but does not meet
but we fail to recognize and feel it
It is driving us to despair
the conclusion drawn is not fair
it is mere desperation
it warrants no consideration
Some of the things do not go together
still it may baffle us and bother
we may disregard the existence even
we are blinded and extremely driven
the sky has its role to play
the land is vast and remain away
the sea also lie deep and make no noise
who else can think and raise the voice?
We come to the sense when craziness is over
we find many excuses and go for cover
it will be mere satisfaction however
the days may not be forgotten forever
The natural objects may stay as they are
there is no change even if they are very far
they function in ordinary but organized manner
we got to come in terms later or sooner
Let us pray for common good and some wisdom
the dreams may be realized seldom
it may lead you to boredom or stardom
you may have all the means and freedom
Still it is mired in illusion
it may lead to frustration
everything may emerge in form of question
We may not prove capable to find the solution

Oh So Simple Question
I have a question
I have a simple thought
I am the border obsession
I am the clever, the taught
You have my aggression
You have a complication
You are an angry expression
You are the unheard conversation
We have a serious problem
Something simple yet trying
You understand, you look solemn
You know exactly what question I’m implying
Now concentrate, ask it now
Your eyes beg not to be told
Tell it now, but tell it how?
How to tell this question I hold
Wait! Look at your eyes
Now desperate to know
The question I hide
The question I knew not long ago
NO! I no longer remember
The simple question I wanted to ask
That cold day, in that snowy December
Oh how I hate this shy mask
Maybe I will once again
Think of a simple question
Whilst I walk down memory lane
Maybe, one day, you will hear my confession

Without blinking
Without blinking stare at an object
Tears roll and no question is there why.
On oily paper pens do not write
No question is there why.
Water through fissures not leaking
Ocean floor and there is no question why.
The question is there is no question to put why.
I am just obseving and observing
I can shot
The mute then show gut.

Where Do I Go From Here?
When you finish with something or someone
the question you ask yourself
is where do I go from here.
To some there is no easy answer,
others have a route already planned,
while others say I’ll wait until something happens
and then I’ll move along.
No matter whom you are
the question still remains whenever something ends,
where do I go from here.
There is never an easy answer
it remains up to you.
Life keeps going forward at a steady pace
and you have to make your own mind up
which way you want to go
when that question suddenly appears.
Where do I go from here?

I Would Have Waited Forever
I would have waited forever -
For you to return into my life
I would have waited forever -
I would have given you everything I had
I would have waited forever -
Theres no question, no question at all
So true in the prize, would you wait for me?
All because you got burned, so you took what you needed.
Some will always turn away, say its reason enough;
Its another game of exploration.
Something calls at reverse and it comes to you;
Experience everything as it comes true.
So - it will be then
Change - it will happen
See - that we feel it
All - is completed.
Dont you want the world to stop short of giving?
Anytime of night or day, the magic things you love.
Everybody hurts when you shout, when you walk away;
Talk about it according to you.
I would have waited forever - for you to return into my life
I would have waited forever - to give you everything I had
I would have waited forever - theres no question about it at all
So in between the perfect flame of you,
This love will never let you down.
Just take it as it comes, for everything will come around.
You put your hand up: stop the flow of where youre going to;
Its another game called exploration.
How we imagine everything that we think were going through;
Its another reason to make the break.
Everyone will move with you now to the riverside;
Experience everything, but dont let the land slide...
I would have waited forever - for you to return into my life
I would have waited forever - to give you everything I had
I would have waited forever - no question in my body and soul
Forever...

Might is right
It is always the fact that might is right
They will go on till the end to fight
They may do it with the speed of light
They have the wisdom and long sight
Small insects kill smaller one
Big also kill little one and go on
It is complete cycle of exploitation
Everybody looses in turn and in rotation
So if rich rule the scene then nothing wrong
Not all can be in race and come along
It is sheer coincidence that mighty rule
Otherwise not all the people are fool
Person with abundance can sustain losses
He may have no regret even if looses
This gives them little advantage
Rest all feel confined to cage
Once you are under domination you are bound to suffer
You may have no rights other than to differ
So poor remain poor and rich gets richer
Poor remain suppressed for times to come
Rich are dominating and always welcome
Corruption has engulfed poor and rich alike
Everybody is influenced and affected with hike
No one wants to remain as poor like
Rich too wants not to become poor and dislike
This is tendency that we feel pity for poor
We have seen them knocking the door
But it is the system that will remain forever
Even if God descends on earth it will be there
If you have same system with no discrimination
No one may work and develop alienation
They will feel free with passing of responsibility
Here comes then the end of clear and distinct ability
If you have system with loop holes anybody will escape
No one can restrict the temptation or put the cap
Only the poor fail to emerge for the want of resources
The powerful emerge and re-emerge with full force
The oppression part is little disturbing
No one can force or go on curbing
No one can be forced to undergo torture
Even God has made it very sure
The rich may have disliking for poor
Poor to may have tendency to show exit door
It has been clash of time for centuries and very old
No one can buy it or arguments can be sold
Lord may wish so for all His children
He may even grant the same blessing even
Yet that difference may remain and even if not
The needless wars might not have been fought
The human beings may create it to rule
They make use of all available tools
Rich may tackle poor and poor may tackle down trodden
As the system remains same with all the odds even

To Change Or Not To Change That Is No Longer The Question For Me
I Like the way
how things remain unchanged with you
i must like them
for i have no choice
you really do not change
and i have no one to talk to
if you leave me
that could perhaps be the only change there is
and who knows?
i may like it that way too
for i am but a practical man
to change or not to change
that is no longer the question
the night has come and what i have
is only its darkness
my bed shall only be its coldness and silence
