The Smile On the Other's Face

THE SMILE ON THE OTHER’S FACE 

Money power money 
Rest is all hoodwinking 
 Peace, love, respect all are bluff
I am a real man of reality 
I had never been in whims and fancies  
Riding or driving a BMW car 
Is more enjoyable than reading a poem 
The touch of a smooth skin 
Is more of a thing to brag on the street than 
To be proud of a moralist 
Test a pious man today 
And make him a king to rule us 
Within the falling of a dew drop he will be your oppressor 
Nowhere is there any gratitude 
Test him now who is talking about piety 
And give him few bucks, 
The bucks he could not earn in his entire life 
The piety of this gospel is he will return nothing 
Last few days I moved with this negative mind 
Then I turned few steps back 
And found a burning lamp 
It was in the dark 
It was inside me 
Right in my heart 
I myself did not like the darkness but the light 
And realised I was killing what used to give me delight 
The smile on other’s face 
Then came back again my writing 
The fountain of joy 
In writing i am more joyous than the king of the world.
