Squiring Off

I used to be a just and upright man And talk spade to spade to the ills of the world Then I met with a sage and he said The policy eye for an eye would make this world blind I thought he was right and I started seeing honour In the hearts in my fellow human being And sought peace at any price And I was going on smoothly without having any problem Days passed but in wonder I saw the violence is increasing all over the around The man in parole commits crime again against humanity The juvenile in bail after rehabilitation Raped and murdered three young women one in a park other two in a beach The nations signed an agreement of peace Sprung from nowhere to engage again in brutal war Desperately I went into deep thought And find this so called sage a lunatic for misleading the world With his half baked truth which is more dangerous than the full baked truth I was frustrated and withdrawn like sail from all outdoor activities And felt apologetic for being in the group of lunatics I became cool, calm and silent And pulled my heart like an umbrella, closed my eyes like mimosa My life went on like a wilted flower Yet I thought this kind of life was better than being lunatic And I started pretending that nothing was happening around me Better to say that I refused to see what was going on around me But within no time I found I was terribly wrong As I ended up in the bunch of hypocrites Still this is not good enough for the house I live in This world cannot be belong to either troops This world must belong to me Must belong to a man who sees not with one eye one color And talks spade to spade against all the ills of the world To make things squire off I am again back on the right track, a man, just and upright.
