Take A Hike
One terror outfit loses rest and peace
when another group blasts the bomb
and kills more than a hundred people.
Those kidnap kids for a few lakhs
chunter on those who hijack flights.
The pick-pockets feel envy at the burglars.
Knife-wielders for currencies of low value
get aggravated at the gun-toting smuglers.
Those who hunt snakes for their skin
are aggrieved at those who hunt deers.
Those whose palms greased by a few dollars
grouse about the ministers swindling billions.
All of you take a hike from your wonted trade
and keep this earth a nourishing mother to all.

The Unforgiven Hunt
I shouldn't be telling you this
No one should be telling you this, but
Only a few people even know
About the time of the Unforgiven Hunt-
We are on the Unforgiven Hunt, so I should tell you
I can't even tell you
What the Hunt is about
And why it is called just that-
The Hunt
But I just told you
That the Hunt is called the Hunt
For a reason-
So now I should tell you the whole story
How we came to this point
Why our features stand out
In the whole world, all the countries
First, we were like all the others
Down-to-earth, forgiving, out loud
Sharing all our secrets
But now the Hunt people regret
That we came this far
We came this far, we broke our friendship apart
Now we are on the Unforgiven Hunt
The time of the Hunt started at the time of the Hunt
No one really knows
When it was, what it was that unbalanced the scale
Of life and death-
But we are on the Unforgiven Hunt
We started the Unforgiven Hunt by saying,
"We have to increase our lifestyle, then we'll stop"
But over time, it grew to be our hobby
Beating other countries
In machines, in factories and greed
In food, in water and high standards
In shelter, in organizing, in need
We are still on the Unforgiven Hunt

lets see.
you finance your multi-trillion dollar
wars 100% with China ... and leave
the burden of the debt for the
American taxpayer to pay.
meanwhile, you take the billions
(maybe trillions) of dollars profit
that you make on defense contracts,
etc ... and put it in your pockets.

I Hunt
I hunt.
For specific kinds of meat.
I hunt.
To feed that desire within me I seek.
I hunt.
I do not keep my needs a secret.
I do not wish to discreet them in any way.
I hunt.
I want this known.
I want it easy for the meat,
To be captured and seasoned.
With a sauté done to taste.
And delayed at a minimum wait.
I hunt.
For specific kinds of meat.
I hunt.
To feed that desire within me I seek.
I hunt.
To satisfy what it is I do.
And grunt...
Sometimes,
Just before the morning dew appears.

When You Wake In Your Crib
When you wake in your crib,
You, an inch of experience -
Vaulted about
With the wonder of darkness;
Wailing and striving
To reach from your feebleness
Something you feel
Will be good to and cherish you,
Something you know
And can rest upon blindly:
O, then a hand
(Your mother's, your mother's!)
By the fall of its fingers
All knowledge, all power to you,
Out of the dreary,
Discouraging strangenesses
Comes to and masters you,
Takes you, and lovingly
Woos you and soothes you
Back, as you cling to it,
Back to some comforting
Corner of sleep.
So you wake in your bed,
Having lived, having loved;
But the shadows are there,
And the world and its kingdoms
Incredibly faded;
And you group through the Terror
Above you and under
For the light, for the warmth,
The assurance of life;
But the blasts are ice-born,
And your heart is nigh burst
With the weight of the gloom
And the stress of your strangled
And desperate endeavour:
Sudden a hand -
Mother, O Mother! -
God at His best to you,
Out of the roaring,
Impossible silences,
Falls on and urges you,
Mightily, tenderly,
Forth, as you clutch at it,
Forth to the infinite
Peace of the Grave.

Random Sin
In pinnate physicals, the thing,
moves like a stark terror
savagely. A primal fear
takes over, because dead don’t
speak. The bullet had passed
through chest. Mutiny of dumb
dandelions, lipless voices in the
sea of madness. Search for a missing
truth begins. The mass grave
contains the dried bones of renegades.
You remember the promise? Who said
we will end the war?
Listen, he bows his head, before
the trespassing starts to kidnap the
bed. Jealousy kills the snakes.

Kidnap Kidnap Kidnap
Kidnap kidnap kidnap
Everwhere there are kidnaps
Kidnaps kidnaps,
And who is not a kidnapper?
We remain mere spectators
Leaders kidnap the voters
Leaders kidnap the basic needs
of the vilagers country dwellers
Leaders kidnap and kidnap
Leaders are kidnappers.
Maoists kidnap leaders
Maoists kidnap officers
Maoists kidnap foreigners
Maoists kidnaps lawbreakers.
We all are helpless spectators.

Fall Of The World's Own Optimist
(elvis costello/aimee mann)
There's no charity in you
And that surprises me
I guess i thought you were a golden idol
'cause i called you majesty
On the balustrade
You watched me hunt for tips i was obliged to pick up
From the passing trade
Chorus:
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
'cause the eggshells i've been treading
Couldn't spare me a beheading
And i'll know i had it coming
From a caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
Well, i could have objections
Which you could override
But what's the point--we're only flogging the horse
When the horseman has up and died
Once i testified
And swore i'd never leave a stone unturned--
I bet you're really glad that i lied
Chorus
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask

WHAT Just Happened Here?
Calm down.
Dry your eyes
I know you are feeling upset,
By the names you've been called...
And you're feeling like a reject.
But...
Give a thought to this,
There are billions of people...
On this rotating ball in the heavens,
We refer to as Earth.
Just think how blessed you are.
If God chose you to be singled out,
As strange and weird.
And the school kids remind you?
You've got 'something' delicious going on.
I love it when you smile.
They are just jealous anyway.
And they should be too.
I don't know anyone else,
That loves you more than I do.
I know God does!
That's why He has put you in my life!
'Great!
I'm glad we got that settled.
You've got fourty dollars?
I saw a new video game I want to pick up at the store.
And my friends and I would like to see that new 3-D movie,
BUT...
I told them I don't get that much of an allowance.
So, it's okay if you say no.
I'll just stand outside alone at the cineplex.'
What just happened here?
God...
Can you tell me?
WHAT just happened here?

The Hunt Never Ends
Here I sit
by the reflective pool
my pups sit around me
as I howl at the moon
calling the pack
there is a heard of deer
sleeping under the willow tree
Tonight
The....Hunt....
Will....Sta rt
tonight
we eat our fill and slip into a quiet rest
the hunt never ends

Bring Me My Longbow
If you do not hunt, you do not eat
If you do not hunt, you do not eat
When will the sun come, when will the sun come,
When will the sun come
If you do not hunt, you do not eat
If you do not hunt, you do not eat
Who is the best boy, who is the best boy,
Who is the best boy
Bring me my longbow, sing me the holy song
Bring me my longbow, sing me the holy song
Fill the cup, fill the cup, pass out the water
Fill the cup, fill the cup, bless our provider
If you do not hunt, you do not eat
If you do not hunt, you do not eat
Burn out the tall grass, burn out the tall grass,
Burn out the tall grass
Women cry, children cry, throats are dry
But the family must survive

Lone Wolf Plan
I get more power,
At night time.
I am a lone wolf,
And a smart one too.
I hunt by myself,
And feed myself.
I look for love,
But I always get rejected.
I've taken my last reject,
So I hunt for blood.
I hunt the one's,
Who rejcted me.
I hunt my old pack,
To kill the leader.
Once that's done,
I'll be leader.
I can lead my new pack,
To victory.
I shall win a new love,
And win a pack.
My strength is better,
But my smarts are better.
I am clever,
So I will win.
I fight the leader,
And lose.
Now I die,
All alone.
My plans have failed,
My life has just began.
I might not breath the air,
Or run freely.
But my new life,
As a spirit,
Has just begun...

War Business
Greed is into war business,
Arms sales are soaring high.
Profit billions in excess-
So what if people die?
Selling arms and bullets
For dollars and currencies
Let nations war -no regrets
The money brings prosperity!
Callous fools who make decisions
Creating war games that cost lives
Conspirators of world destruction
In death of men, their business thrives.

How Are The Weak Free?
They will hunt again.
With years to plan.
And sharpen their teeth.
But no one knows, no one knows.
Free the wolf from his cage.
Watch him hunt, stalk his prey.
We let them go.
They will hunt again.
Prey on the simple.
Feast in the temple.
Free the wolf?
We must put him down.
We'll put him down again.
Our protectors hide and grin.

Hungry Like The Wolf
(ha ha!)
Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch with the ground
Im on the hunt Im after you
Smell like I sound, Im lost in a crowd
And Im hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
Im on the hunt Im after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And Im hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
Ill be upon you by the moonlight side
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
High blood drumming ony our skin its so tight
You feel my heart, Im just a moment behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch with the ground
Im on the hunt Im after you
Scent and a sound, Im lost and Im found
And Im hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine Im after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And Im hungry like the wolf
-
(hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf)
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
Im on the hunt Im after you
I smell like I sound, Im lost and Im found
And Im hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
Im on the hunt Im after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And Im hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
Im on the hunt Im after you
Scent and a sound, Im lost and Im found
And Im hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine Im after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And Im hungry like the wolf...

Snake and ladder
Snake and Ladder
Am running,
Running and gasping through the ways unknown.
I don’t know where to go,
I don’t know where to hide.
Running and gasping through the ways unknown-
But I know, they still want to hunt me.
Am sad and doomed-
But no tear dropp in my eyes.
I had a river in my eyes-
The day they told me, am alone.
Still running to hide,
Hide in a heaven.
I don’t know you, freedom,
May be I am running to my destiny.
But I don’t know how long and how far,
Still I can run.
Still chasing me, still hunting me-
They still want me, why?
I just threw a stone-
And it just touched their armor.
Can a stone beat a war tank?
But I know, still they want to hunt me.
I have played snake and ladder,
But no ladders now.
I don’t know how I can win,
I just want to hide and quit.
Running through streets-
Stained and messed with blood.
My ears are deaf, am I pretending?
I jumped above barbed wires, a routine.
Can’t see the children crying, lost in roads.
Can’t hear the blasts, am deaf.
Where to go? Where to hide?
I don’t have a home, a family.
Mother, father, brothers and sisters,
They live in my memoirs, everyday.
But I know, they still want to hunt me.
Far here, I know your childhoods-
You play with guns that are unreal.
With us, it’s real-
We just can wish if that were unreal.
Am running-
I saw a boy who fights for food.
You waste your food-
And we fast, just everyday.
I don’t have a home to run and reach,
I don’t a have a mother’s lap to sleep,
I wish if I could have my father’s advise,
I wish if I could have my brother’s support,
I wish if I could have my sister’s soothing words.
I don’t know what real hell is,
But for sure, am in hell.
I haven’t seen an angel of peace,
But am seeing demons just everyday.
Never have seen a sky that is calm,
Smoke, dust and flames as they wish.
You wish you never see a nightmare,
I wish if these were just a nightmare.
Born into poverty, stepped into penury-
I played with guns.
Can’t stop my wishes-
I want it unreal, I want a toy gun.
Living in chaos that seems no bounds,
But I know, they still want to hunt me. Why?
Running and gasping,
Heard a gun shot that was near.
Am still running, running to my destiny.
Ho… another shot, this time it’s with me.
Running and gasping,
Escaping to my destiny.
Can you solve this riddle?
Is this the freedom I wished for?
Running and gasping, I am chasing my destiny.

Bomb Blast
BOMB BLAST
Man is a social animal,
But where remains the social customs,
Only he has become animal,
And much more than animal,
No animal kills another,
Man is blasting all customs and rituals,
By killing innocent weaponless persons,
Man has progressed so much,
That he is controlled by remote control,
There are only blasts and blasts
And no humanity
