Warzone Mumbai

These were the walls, white and fair
Now the rusty tinge of blood, hangs heavy in the air

You recall the joy. when you walked down this road
They were remorseless, a way they sowed

The city of dreams in a state of shock,
Don't talk about our 'spirit', it's like when you mock

We've had enough of these games that you play
Breaking us apart, like we're made of clay

Always remember, there is strength in numbers
We have the power to put you into a deep slumber

Believe in your Country!

Numb

Waking up to a fuzzy world
scratching my head, thinking somethings absurd
I wobble for a little bit
trying to get up and not get hit

I walk around this room
which seems like a flower, ready to bloom
everythings so out of focus
this isnt real, sounds bogus

Someones talking to me, but I dont see
words just mix and flee
Somethings not right, I wonder
theres gotta be some kinda blunder

I move around, colours are vivid
this seems boring, seems insipid
I need to get off this state
know more of whats on my plate

somethings affected my brain
that drink is sure going down the drain!
I fall back to sleep,
only to wake up to reality.

Here comes the pain

Something crawls under my skin

poking at the world within

I try to walk and get some water

my legs fail me, as I totter

Its the excruciating pain inside

which wants to burst open wide

It wants to be released

like some chained beast

It soon calms down, still painful, but calm

It stays there forever, sometimes active, but all there

Tranquility

In a state of tranquility

I lay there, with no thoughts

Pristine white light, 

thinking, are my troubles sought?

I still breathe fire 

with no despair

figuring out why do I feel

that no one cares

It was all over, that state of calm

with eyes wide open, no blinking

I wondered what it was

It was me, thinking

That Cloud is Following Me!

I've been walking for a mile
it's been drizzling for a while

Seems like it's a rainy path I'm on,
no sign of droplets all around

Funny it seems, but it's real
I can't see, but tingling I can feel

I look back and up at the cloud
whose mischievous smile is so god damn loud

I get the point, It's gonna follow me
not here and there, right on my head it'll pour

"The cloud is following me!" I shout
I look look lunatic with a big mouth

People around break in hysterical laughs
thinking 'He's lost it', thinking 'he's lost'

I cast a spell on the cloud with a wizard's tone
it won't follow me now, coz it's in your zone

I Love to do the grind!

Its not that I've lost touch
Its not about the flower I pluck

Its a new path altogether, a new beginning
where the futures bright, stars are shining

I'm building my own yellow brick road
to fulfill my dreams I'll get onboard

Give a little time to wake up

Cold stone clinging to my skin
water dripping from the cracks within

A ray or two of light falls
illuminating these black walls

I fly freely over the treasure chest
lying on a grass dune, at rest

The shining gold, the sparkling sun
my eyes flicker, seeing none

I fall deep down the circular bricked wall
felt like I tripped, felt I was really tall

Realizing the cushion under my head
I lay at rest, I lay over my bed

Need To Be Free

It is always like this
figuring out what's good and
whats a miss

I see the horizon with a basket
filled with opportunities
and a blanket

Reaching, trying hard
with millions of questions in my mind
still trying hard

Filled with anger, filled with tension
thinking hard about tomorrow
thinking about my pension!

Tears in my mind,
crying out loud inside
knowing the world is mine

All I need is to be free
all I need is a little salt and pepper
to be free
