Inspired by Bob Dylan's 'Blowing in the Wind'
Our journey takes on different roads
we make our choices and our beds
no rest for the weary till we're all dead
Time is not our faithful ally
its intentions waywardly dubious
yet fate lays here in our hands
Don't pretend you can't hear the many cries
they're right outside your door
blow the whisle sound the horn
You can't keep turning a blind eye

I wish I would survive this but the chances are blur
I'm striving hard but daily it gets worst
My heart has been tored and my gut devoured
Now I'm nothing more than a wrecking whore
Life has blessed me with hurts
Hurts so hard that my world's only dark
Even when rays of sunshine in sky immerse
Yet, still around me is gloom and clouds
Life has treated me thus
Hence, I've given up on love
I boasted you're the one and we'd settle down
And blissfully grow with lots of fun
But those wishes became painful thorns
That hurts me daily in heavy tons
And if by chance this throb in me slums
I'll scream to every ear that I'm forever done

Common Era calender is accepted world wide.
As per it our earth lost her precious one year and we are hell bent to destroy it as earlier as possible .
Her soul also known as humanity is wounded like anything and on ventilation.
Religion which turned into enemy has tored it into pieces . Pollution an ugly scar on her face
So called growth/development is raping mother Earth daily.
Mother Earth lost her beauty and charm .
Do we deserve to celebrate 2016 when our mother is half dead ?
Think over it

Is it the end of my life
I'm tored of coming home at night
In just going to bed
Wake up in the morning and do life over again
Barely eat barely sleep
Because of the means things you say to me
Do you know how bad it hurts
I scream in side my head
I burn in side my soul
I cry in cry
I dont know why
Why can't i just die
You've hurt me so bad
I'm not even mad
