God Must Be Crazy
Slowly and slowly
without myself knowing
life in me is fast fading
knocked down by a deadly disease
complete body checks and running scans
in intensive ward under hi-tech care
reversing the God's decided plan
is not so easy for the clinical gang
at dawn, on the doom's day
God rolled in on a wheeled-chair
whispered to me that I am to depart today
despite the fight we put up all these days
pulse ran high and there was an alarm
God wished me to be cool and calm
handed to me His bill for rescue
'not lakhs of rupees, but a sterile heart'
everything was sterile here
except the one God wanted
in the eleventh hour and at such short notice
an hopeless offer....... I breathed my last

A Song Of Spring
The Spring comes slowly up this way,
Slowly, slowly,
Under a snood of hodden grey.
The black and white for her array,
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.
Where is her green that was so gay?
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.
Unto a world too sick for May,
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.
Where are the lads that used to play?
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.
She has no heart for holiday,
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up this way.
The trees are out in Heaven they say.
Slowly, slowly,
The Spring comes slowly up our way.

Very Slowly
Tick tock
The moonlights hummin
My fingers on the button and my hob-nobs drummin
Slow down were moving too fast
Better wait a minute make the good times last
Ive learned something bout livin
You dont get nothing if you dont stop givin
We both know that we got so much but there aint no rush
Wanna love you slowly
When you slide on down
Wanna love you slowly turn that body round
You wont be able to control me
When your love slow down
Wanna love you slowly slowly slowly slowly
Slowly..
Hold tight
Love is all I need I guess its sweeter when its more than just a tease
Let me hold you close enough to stick
Love is an illusion lets play that trick
Slow hand moving down my back
If you get a chance u feel my heart attack
Real love has never been a crime
Wanna take my time
Wanna love you slowly
When you slide on down
Wanna love you slowly
And turn that body round
You wont be able to control me
When your love slow down
Wanna love you slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly...
Aah...oah...uah...
Slowly...aah...oah...uah...
Slowly... yeah...aah...oah...uah...
If you get a chance you feel my heart attack
Aah...oah...uah...
Real love has never been a crime
Wanna take my time
Wanna love you slowly
When you slide on down
Wanna love you slowly
And turn that body round
You wont be able to control me
When your love slow down
Wanna love you slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly...
Slowly...aah...oah...uah...slowly...aah...oah...uah...
Slowly... yeah...aah...oah...uah...aah...oah...uah...

The Young & The Hopeless
Hard days made me, hard nights shaped me
I dont know they somehow saved me
And I know Im making something out of this life they called nothing
I take what I want
Take what I need
You say its wrong but its right for me
I wont look down
Wont say Im sorry
I know that only God can judge me
And if I make it thru today will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place?
If I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same
cause, Im young and hopeless
Im lost and I know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome, Ive fallen
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and I dont care, I dont care
No one in this industry understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past its not a gimmick not an act
These critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is but when I see them on the streets
They got nothing to say
And if I make it thru today will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place?
If I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same
cause, Im young and hopeless
Im lost and I know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome, Ive fallen
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and I dont care, I dont care
cause, Im young and hopeless
Im lost and I know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome, Ive fallen
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and I dont care, I dont care

After The Fire
After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be is for you
After the stillness finds you
After the winds of change
All that is good and true between us
This will remain the same
Slowly, slowly
We turn the pages of life
Growing, knowing
It comes at quite a price
After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be here for you
After your time of wondering
Along this lonely road
There will be many voices calling
Mine will say welcome home
Slowly, slowly
We turn the pages of life
Growing, knowing
It comes at quite a price
After the fire is over
After the ash is cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be here for you
I will be here for you

Deadly Cancer
It was diagnosed as deadly cancer
A disease now common but found with fewer
So much progress has been made in this direction
But patients suffer mental agony with medicine's reaction
Mother was not feeling well since many days
She may remain busy whole day and calmly stay
She knew very well that she is up with disease
But disclosed to me that it should not be made known please
I was elder among in the family and realized the importance
There was no hope at all and she was awaited with bleak chance
I knew she may remain with us for few more days or months
Then may be suddenly taken over by cruel death
Females generally suffer more with such kind diseases
The moment they marry their existence suddenly ceases
They are not only overpowered by lots of responsibility at home
But countered with numerous problems to tackle and welcome
I could clearly see worry lines on her face
But she won't allow any body to find trace
She will be smiling all the time and remain cheerful
As if life was defeat4d and she remained successful
Such was her dominating character
Sometimes she will make us to roar in laughter
Forgetting all the pains caused by incurable disease
She used to say 'Life must be spent always at ease'
I will direct look at her eyes and try to find out
Why she is always trying to be normal and talk about?
She was funny too and played with small kids
Never failed in her duty for providing the clear lead
She breathed her last with complete control
There was panic or any distress call
She called everybody near by her bed
Bade farewell and told some one for hymns to be heard
She closed her eyes very slowly
Face with beautiful smile and happily
She was not defeated till the last
As the end came peacefully but very fast

Bad News Confrontation
No sooner had I reached
the western town I go to
than the bad news confronted me
regarding three friends of mine.
One had passed away
and two were in hospital,
one of those in intensive care
and the other recuperating well.
Not the best way to start
what I thought might be
a relaxing fun filled weekend.
I can only hope things
will start to get better.
Tomorrow is a brand new day
and hopefully the gloom I feel
will slowly start to fade away.
21 June 2008
Author’s note:
The gloom I spoke of is only now slowly fading away which explains my lack of commenting.

Bang Gang
We dont care,
Cause were in a gang
Parties that we go end up in a bang
Look at us funny and well shoot you dead
While were there well fill em with lead
We follow the gangs, we are the worst
Well be the last one,
But we werent the first
Weve been in a gang for a year and a half
There goes our future,
But we live in the past
Lets go out, shoot some people tonight
We use guns, cause we dont wanna lose the fight
When we fight, its 20 on 1 its funny that way,
Its much more fun everyone knows that were so bad
Our knives are long and our day is short
Our nights our long, and our days are sad
But we dont care cause were in a gang

Calm Is Who I Am Now
CALM IS WHO I AM NOW
Calm is who I am now
Calm and quiet-
I have done
What I could do-
The rest is repetition-
Slowly slowly
Time is taking me away-
How long I do not know-
How much pain I do not know-
Calm is who I am now -
Quiet quiet
Before the fears return again
And the anxiety over what I have not done-
Calm is who I am now
In these moments at this hour
Four in the morning
A small part of the long day to come.

Insanity (2)
sanity
slowly escaping me,
i'm trapped in my head,
i try to escape my mind
running thoughts in circles.
insanity is creeping upon me,
doubt running wild.
wind whispers something
i try to listen,
but the difficulty is
stabbing at my mind as
i slowly lose it.
my consciousness fading away,
my mind lost in time,
everything's ending,
slowly ending,
all is one and one is all,
never again to be found.

Fast As You Can
I let the beast in too soon, I dont know how to live
Without my hand on his throat; I fight him always & still
O darling, its so sweet, you think you know how crazy
-how crazy I am
You say you dont spook easy, you wont go, but I know
And I pray that you will
-fast as you can, baby run-free yourself of me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm but Ill soon grow
Hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
Disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your
Heart from under your skin
-fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Sometimes my mind dont shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where Im begging for a lift
Or Ill drown in the wonders and the was
And Ill be your girl, if you say its a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, Ill be your pet, if you just tell me its a gift
Cuz Im tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because
I let the beast in and then;
I even tried forgiving him, but its too soon
So Ill fight again, again, again, again, again.
And for a little while more, Ill soar the
Uneven wind, complain and blame
The sterile land
But if youre getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
Im blooming within
Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, Ill be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing
Run its route
Fast as you can (repeat 4 times)

A Change of the Season
Raindrops are falling from high in the sky
Reminds me of sorrow from days gone by
The sky is so Grey and the wind cuts like a knife
Finding your way through this abyss they call life
Learning and seeking from every mistake
Hoping someone, somewhere will cut you a break
The leaves change their color and fall to the ground
No one questions their changes, they don't make a sound
They know that a leaf can change and it will
But they think that people cannot fit that bill
We often sit back not taking a risk
Not realizing life is short and ends so brisk
We take chances on happiness day in and day out
Realizing we took the easy way out
Thinking happiness should not and won't cause us pain
The clearing of the storm, comes after the rain
Not stopping to think about what could've been
By taking chances on the unknown and unseen
What's right isn't easy and what's easy is not right
We'd rather give up, than put up a fight
Today I'll make my stand and fight til the end
The pain and the hurt I'll feel for my friend
I'll endure it all in the end you will see
What's not worth it to you, is so worth it to me
For I am a lover and I will not quit
When the going gets tough, I will not submit
Your love and your friendship, the ultimate prize
When I get knocked down I surely will rise
As you see I'm not the man from before
For I sought the key & He unlocked the door
Like the leaves change on the trees in fall
For you I'd give everything and risk losing it all

Loving You Forever
The sun is slowly setting.
The sunset is magnificent with the different shades of pink and red spread across the sky.
I touch your cheek and notice just how pale it really is.
The sun is slowly setting.
My smile falters as you hush my voice and murmur time is short.
My mind is telling me to leave, but my heart is pleading me to stay.
The sun is slowly setting.
You grab my hand and draw me close to you.
I look into your eyes, and search for something evil, but all I see is love.
The sun is slowly setting.
I lean my head against your chest and take in all your love.
You wrap your arms around me and tell me not to be afraid.
The sun is slowly setting.
Shadows are falling all around us, enclosing us in darkness.
An eerie breeze causes a chill to scurry up my spine.
The sun is slowly setting.
The time has come; you tilt my face up towards yours and tell me that you love me.
My heart is beating fast now as I say it in return.
The sun is slowly setting.
Your eyes are open and I see that they are masked with fear, and yet, love still shines through.
You smile and a flow of dawning realization rushes throughout my system.
The sun is slowly setting.
I try to scream, but my speech has been impaired.
I try to run, but my feet remain in place.
The sun is slowly setting.
You tell me not to worry, and that everything’s all right.
You take my hand in yours and move it to your heart.
The sun is slowly setting.
I feel myself relax as I tilt my head, allowing my neck to be vulnerable.
I feel a prick of pain against my neck, and then a rush of warmth and love overcomes me.
The sun is slowly setting.
The coldness is no longer my concern, for I feel no breeze against my pale skin.
Never will anything be my concern, for now we are together, for all eternity.
The sun is slowly setting.
At last the sun has subsided into the earth.
Above us, the sky is black, and at peace.
Today Is My Birthday
Today is my birthday,
I decided to be a little lazy today.
I woke up very late this morning,
I vacuumed, I did some cleaning.
I made my breakfast.
I made a nice omelet very fast.
While eating, I watched a few TV programs,
For about two hours. I am now a few grams
Heavier, I mean a few pounds heavier.
I was going to the gym to make me stronger,
But I decided against that activity.
I wanted to be a little lazy,
To relax, to enjoy the day, and to chill;
I did not want to kill
Myself today.
When it is your birthday,
You should take it easy.
I listened to a few songs of Sinatra,
A few melodies of Nat King Cole.
I had a tiny glass of vodka.
I kicked, for a short time, my soccer ball.
At my age, I feel very young;
I am still happy and strong.
I enjoy life tremendously.
I thank God daily,
I count my blessings, not my failures.
I cherish my victories and use my shortcomings
As powerful lessons, to challenge the adventures
Ahead. Thank God, I have had many good mornings
And many great evenings; I am praying for more.
I also thank my friends that I love forever more.
I pray for the weak and ask God to end man's miseries;
I also pray for my enemies.
Don't kid yourself, you have some too,
They are invisible, they are cuckoo;
They are everywhere looking at you.
So far, it has been a wonderful day,
Even though, the sky is gray,
And it is intermittently raining;
However, in my heart, the sun is shining.
Today is a day to ponder, to relax,
To enjoy and to ignore the sneaky fox.
I am enjoying my day and please do the same,
Relax and enjoy the other days as well.
I wish you well, stay away of the deadly well;
I promise you that I will do the same.
I am waiting to have a magnificent night,
To listen to more classy melodies,
To see the sun, in my dream, at midnight;
And to thank God for all the amenities.
Today is my birthday,
I am really lazy today.

The Eleventh Hour
[verse]
Trace the shape of my heart
Till it becomes more familiar
To your eyes
I've been lost without you
Cold without your love
It's taken days and nights
To make me realize
[chorus]
Rescue me from hanging on this line
I won't give up on giving you
The chance to blow my mind
Let the eleventh hour quickly
Pass me by
I'll find you when I think
I'm out of time
[verse]
Take the place of my heart
Till I become a stranger to my life
I've been down without you
Wrong without your love
In time will I be what
You're thinking of
[chorus]
Out of time
[bridge]
I've been down without you
Cold without your love
In time will I be what
You're thinking of
[chorus 2x]
Time...time...time

Story of a girl
this is the story of a girl-(and not a song by blink 182 ewww)
who allways found herself
hateing this world
everything that happened
allways was her fault
she finally decided
it wasnt worth the guilt
that she would rather die
than live another day
that she would rather die
than hear another lie
for days, weeks, months,
she tried to decide
if she wanted life
or just death
she decided to give up
she chose the wimps way out
she chose to have
her funeral b4 marriage
her barrial b4 graduation
the gun b4 too lobg
was loaded and at her head
a single tear rolled down her face
she knew soon she would have to leave
her lover mom and dad
so she slowly squeezed the trigger
and finally she had peace
but wait
what are those voices
where are they comeing from
what is that light
am i in heaven
i thought there was no such thing
but i hear one sweet voice
but it sounds so sad
it is josh
i hurt him real bad
as i slowly drift away i hear them say 'were losing her'
i hear a tiny wimpering cry
and from there i hear nothing
i am gone...
date unknown

Motion of Pulling the Fire Alarm
Feverish children running with joy
All but one had fun, a little boy
Left on his mind was the tiny farm
And the motion of pulling the fire alarm
His mind on the farm with nothing to say
Wearing a mask of a happy son
looking back at the angry days
but finally he was done
Thinking to his lonely past
His mom and dad died really fast
Blood on his hands made him feel great
And now his life is filled with hate
But now hes done, no more fun
Painful memoirs slowly stung
regretting causing all that harm
The motion of pulling the fire alarm

Feeling Lonely
Feeling so lonely and you're sitting right there
Do you even notice me sitting in this chair
So depressed cause it seems like you don't care
I feel invisible like I'm not even here
I want to cry but cant for the tears are gone
I never felt so alone
I love you so much and yet my heart aches
With every second it slowly breaks
I don't know what to do
My biggest fear is losing you
Our relationship falls apart slowly cause you put them first
I sit here depressed my hearts about to burst
I can't laugh only crack an occasional grin
My heart slowly starts to cave in
You used to love me so much and make me feel happy and free
Want to live forever spending every second with you for eternity
But now i feel like to you i don't exist
And i sink away into the black abyss
Please save me from eternal darkness and save my soul
Please don't let me fall into the 6 foot hole
I'm falling fast hurry up and grab me
Make me feel once again free and happy
Tell me you love me and make sweet love
Tell me I'm the only one your thinking of
Spend time with me and stop letting me go
Tell me our love is all you'll ever know
Cause right now I'm feeling so lonely
And all that will save me is if you love me hold me

Competition Smile
(phillip rhodes, robin wilson)
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now its creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
Im high and Im hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now Im going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile
Now Im running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where its easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
Im hoping youll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, its not easy to let you know
What Im dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
Now Ive thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
Im like a stone
Falling hard
And Im only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now its creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
Im high and Im hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now Im going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
Im hiding high...
