Drifting Waves

Great sorrow lies in the depths of the heart A shadow of loneliness A cry for recognition The drifting thoughts The unfulfilling wants The hopeless mind An overwhelmed soul A cheer for goodness A want for kindness But is that all? The jump in the abyss Such wasteful hobbies Unknown is greater But known is better Devouring time Taken with a pinch of salt and lime Regular is mundane The normalising pain Shrieking cries from the bottom The society is rotten Harrowing places A world full of mazes But is hope lost? As rises cost Of life of love of thy of mine Hurt is built in empires of dream Violent conditions and violent schemes Growing fungus growing greed Numbers are rising More left alone to bleed Question! Question! Question! The world is larger than all of us What agency do we have? Is it god or is it the state? Is it my kin or is it the community? Is it my brother or is it my sister? Is it me? What is my world? Where is my home? Who is my world? Where lies my soul? Is jumping in the abyss such a wasteful hobby? I dream I cry I adore I lie I hope I scream I laugh I dream... Concrete jungles are lush Crush crush crush Dream hope love passion Passion love hope dream ...Escape! High in the sky Like a bird I fly To myself I lie To escape. Thunder storm Hits the norm Waves crushing hard Against the stones It’s near It’s near It’s near...
