The New World.

This is also quite and old poem, I think some months after the 26/11 incident of Mumbai.I harboured strong feeling of hatred for the terrorist mingled with sadness for the victims.I don't really think the title suits the poem.It's the best i think of at the moment.

I woke up at dawn,
Stifling a yawn,
But little did I know,
What god was gonna bestow.

No one here without a gun,
The future of earth has just begun,
What is the world coming to?
Every nightmare has become true.

I feel scared to walk alone,
I guess it’s the fear of unknown,
But someone’s waiting there for me,
As terrifying as a banshee.

So dark the world has become,
Every soul has turned so numb,
Every heart has stiffened within,
True voice is lost in the din.

Why do those people love to kill?
And like to see the blood spill?
Don’t they have a heart at all?
Don’t their tears ever fall?

I pray all the terror to end,
All our wounded lives to mend,
I pray all the wars to cease,
And may everyone live in peace.

Misery....

This poem was written by me almost one and a half years ago. I was kind of a pessimist at that time. The first seven stanzas are of that period. I dunno why I composed such a poem. Anyway, the last two stanzas were added about like a some months ago. You can see the optimistic side of them.

I opened my eyes

To see the darkness around me,

I don't know why,

I've been feeling so lonely.

When I look back,

In my long lost life,

I see my mistakes,

Slashing my dreams like a knife.

Tears of blood oozing from my eyes,

Rolling down the cold hollow cheeks,

Muffled screams from beneath my heart,

Are reaching to their highest peaks.

I looked in the broken mirror,

And a strange face stared at me,

I spoke a few words,

And a small afraid voice escaped from me.

No friends anymore,

To share the joy,

No foes either,

Threatening to destroy.

Singing alone the tune of misery,

I walk alone on the road to nowhere,

Uncertainty gripping my soul,

Every thing's just become a nightmare.

Cursing myself for my saddened life,

I wish there was a reverse switch,

Luck has turned its back on me,

As if i has had some kind of glitch.

Somewhere inside me I just know,

I can lift my spirits and let them flow,

I can change every thing and begin from scratch,

It's the opportunities that I have to catch.

So people out there who still remember me,

Watch out coz I am going for a golden spree,

I am gonna rise and shine and show the world,

The bright side of me has just unfurled.
