Love For Grey Hairs, Love For Early Death Or Long Life
My love for grey hairs will not be slaughtered
I like the truth & more
The right to fall over head heels in love.
Following love in its lapses - I see enemies as threat.
Stirring love in a loving drum
Enemies stir it in havocs & death
Some counts love for elders as early death
I count love for grey hairs has long life & wishes
Some says it's powerful to grow grey hair
It takes many swords & ailments to swallow
Many hidden arrows & curses to digest
Grey hair is no child's play but dream
Grey hair is of two faces
One of the poor - a tinted one for the rich
Some says the throne of power is for grey hairs
It no child's seat - it a death trap filled with sacrifices of innocent bloods
Some times they're right - some times they're wrong
The enemy is always the one that agrees
Let me praise grey hairs often
So I may grow in peace
