Live and Let Live
Live and let live..
Once I heard when I was young,
That Live and let live was sung.
I heard a priest mutter,
The holy rhyme he uttered.
I saw the god shower,
The blessings of flowers.
I saw the fighter fight,
For love and might.
The world was beautiful,
As it was peaceful.
Only once I heard someone say,
In the summer of May,
Once I heard when I was young,
That live and let live was sung!
Once I heard when I was young,
That Love and let love was sung.
I heard the morning bell that was hung,
On the door of the shrug.
I felt the air of the world,
Which was just so curled.
I heard someone chant,
The miracle of wants.
The life was so free,
Like two birds on a tree.
Only once did I feel the tune,
In the hotness of June,
Once I heard when I was young,
That love and let love was sung!
This was sung only till I was young!
Now that I am old,
I hear and see things so cold,
Till I was innocent,
Things were florescent.
Now that I have started understanding,
Things changed to heartening.
How I wish things wont change,
They would always remain.
How I wish love and life,
Would always be limited till mine,
How I wish the wine of smile,
Would carry all worries miles.
How I wish,
I could hear once again what was sung,
When I was young,
The tale of live and let live!!
