Rule Your World
I have no world of mine
My world is that of the beginning
Full of void, trouble and chaos
And on sojourn to an abysmal pit
I have no world in my word
For there is no word to vivid my world
Anguish, pain, hopelessness is of my world
Still looking forward to a world
Not only of empty words
But that of freedom which twirls joy in my world
I still thought I have no world of mine
Until I met an emerging movement
Sweeping all with an unimaginable pride
It restored our hope with hope
As we started glowing with pride
For the first time in our life
Our world began to have meaning
We sigh . . . breath in with joy
As it wore for us a toga of fulfillment
And gave us cap of opportunities
Alas! we experienced peace and love
With a beaming smile full of triumph
We begin to rule our world.
