On being you and me!
Perfection ceases as a long lost tree.
Oh where went thee, oh where went thee?
In my hours of slumber, in my hours of working,
I get to gaze, at the stars and the seas.
Oh dearest me, where went thee; is it in the sea?
You were like that, a friend who walked down the lanes,
Who made it clear, what you were like and in which tryst you moved.
You were easy in your choices and living; you never questioned others,
for you knew to you, no one mattered as much as yourself.
No, you weren't being selfish then, you were being happy;
your happiness that lied purely in your insight of watching the lives and the trees.
You could notice, the pain in their eyes, they walked up shore, carrying logs of wood on their backs.
You saw them, trying to make a penny out of their midnight oils that burned ceaselessly.
To them struggle meant to arrange for their hunger, their empty stomachs,
For you had known that you could do for them, what the governments couldn't.
You had seen that in the power, people came and went;
They fought and bred themselves with greediness.
You never belonged to the system that was governing you, yet you couldn't raise your voice to make it better a place, that would do.
Many a times, you felt alone;
Still, you had liked yourself and your loneliness.
Many a times, you had known the route;
You were waiting for the right moment to set.
Yes, you knew you were losing a lot you could gain as a beautiful learning.
Still you knew, you had to pause for your day was yet to arrive.
Yes, you had to start once again, when your mates would be your superiors,
Still you had known, no one was bigger or smaller in this game of life.
Every one was mere a player and an actor in a different role.
Alike you, they had their own walk to sprawl and counter along their falls.
Oh yeah dearest man, you weren't there all alone by yourself.
For your dreams and hopes are still so much alive as were those then,
Now that your time has come, you have learned this that,
Life can be made beautiful, yes, don't expect from others but don't hurt them either.
They are your comrades, you have to bring equality and not run away from it,
You have to know yourself and sum along your grief,
Not that one person goes to north to search for peace and the other person goes to east.
Why not is life to be seen as one, undone by mysteries and formalities,
Why is there to be a gap between the rich and the poor?
Why can't their be the notion ringing that a heart is a heart,
Either he is having less money or more money, where does it account for harmony?
Why not the rich is the man with values so strong and loyal and why isn't the poor guy be,
the man with evil thoughts that leave unrest for the entire world to moan for?
Why is it that we have to wait for the unity to form and we be it's part;
Why don't we start it from ourselves and form the links to accord,
Oh yes, it is not my struggle alone, or yours;
It's the plight of the world that belongs to thee as well as to me.
Yes, he still believes in perfection, and it's a journey he conceives. Period.
