....The System?

How can I trust the system?
While betrayal is the cheapest commodity,
It is the same system that promises hope
That is full of destitution and defamation
It is the same system that promises peace
That is plagued by war, crime and discrimination
There seem no good man anymore in the world
The one you have good reasons to trust
Could actually be the one designed to bring you down
Injustice and insecurity have flooded the earth
There seem lack of answers to the primal questions
Our climb up the mountain is firmly restricted
And we have memories as short as days; volatility
With sights obscured from eternal visions; unaesthetic
Now is the time to think and rethink it over and again
There might be a step or steps we are missing
Only we and only us can liberate ourselves
From the shackles of perpetual internal blindness
Let's give reasons to the world around us
Why they should trust us and why we'd trust them
That is how we can keep our home spinning
How we can keep pace with the peace we know
And the only way we can reinstall the hope we lost

Life Is A Journey

Life is a one way journey,
To the land of the living
From the world unborn
And to the world unknown

The route aren't straight
But keeps meandering
Through alternating rocks,
Of right and of wrong

Everyone travels life's journey
Without passport nor visa
Not by land, by air nor by water
But within and to a destiny

Life is a call to be attended to
A mission to fulfill with pride
So while you live, take some ride
Into distance and into time too

Life is a gift worth receiving,
It's a precious and priceless treasure,
That's why its value's without measure,
And it's always worth keeping.

Life is a journey between two ends,
Say the past and the future,
It is the very present, with mends
And full of hope to better the future.

Life is like a spring of water that soothes,
It has the ability to cure our wounds,
It's the reason we survive every season
And rejoice in praise with our flutes

We travel life every way every now or then,
From zeros to heroes surviving few blows,
So learn to learn as you live life in the rows,
And no straight way, should you bend.

ONWARD EVER, BACKWARD NEVER

I am waiting for my turn

My turn to make a difference

A difference; a rightful turn

I shall never befriend pretense

Because I have learnt my lessons

Along the droopy route of life

And am still counting my blessings

Happy, I am for the gift of life

I know the journey is very tough

Some say life is a tag of war

And I learnt the texture is rough

So am building a hopeful door

With courage and perseverance,

I shall complete every mission

And with hope in abundance,

I shall curtail every confusion

Onward ever, backward never

We are moving on and on

Backward never, onward ever

We are moving on and on

Never stopping, we still topping

Are you waiting for your turn?

So you can make the right turn?

To effect a sound difference?

And also stop every pretense?

Can you count all your blessings?

And can you recall your lessons?

Come on, give thanks for life

For so precious, is the gift of life

I know the journey is very tough

And I learnt the texture is rough

We all know life is a tag of war

That’s why we must build a door

With courage and perseverance

Trust me, we have hope in abundance

So we can complete every mission

With much fewer confusion

Onward ever, backward never

We are moving on and on

Backward never, onward ever

We are moving on and on

Never stopping, still topping

CHILD LABOR

It saddens my heart every now and then,
Knowing of the struggle and pain of the child laborer
The troubles of the little girl hawking on the street
The sorrows of the little boy in deep seas
Some are starving to death; the survival movement
Others are lost in the woods hunting to feed
Exposed to every threat and danger posed by greed
Why should they fend but for themselves?
Was it their fault to be born without a silver spoon?
Or is it simply their undecidable destiny?

It thins and wrecks my breath to the brim,
Understanding the indisputable fact
That the victims of the mess are innocent
Child Labor must be highly incriminated
Because it stands to ruin the future we long for
It is the reason we fail as a nation sometimes
It is one of the problems everyone want to see solved
So don't you ever hesitate my brethren
Take the chance to make a difference  now,
Say, Stop Child Labor Now

So who cares about the brighter future?
The kind we want for our dear planet?
What about the hopes we invest in the children?
Who cares protecting them with faith and pride?
We want a future as bright as the daylight,
We want people full of good grooming,
We want citizens swimming in education
And only the children of today are promising enough
Only they can we trust for a better future
And we can only achieve this with education
