Change


There is

no time to pause

to sit and relish

how beautiful a day was.

There is

an urge to keep up with the pace

every man wants to win the race

every face blurs into another face

There is

a desperation

to compete

to never accept defeat

to be the first

to prove oneself

to assert


What has it brought along?

Fear. Anguish. Hypocrisy. Treachery

Do we wish to sing this song?



Who wrote the protocols?

Who wrote the rules?

Is the foundation

unmindful imitation?

vested interests ?

legacy from the past?

Whatever it is.

It won't last.



Our spirit

is bathed in hope.

It will watch

It will suffer

one day

it would fight back

it would recover

it will fly

The spirit of the people

can never die

Never :-)
