O Earth! Thou my mother,
To thee, I bow, I smirk.
But might I fly over thee
And look for bread and butter
Dare I betray thee?
A million times dare!
So here I am, ended up waiting, waiting on the muse. My sire compelth me to stay
I know my toils’ worth, I do ask not for it. And I want no words to lose.
But what hinders me is the time
Appears a poet in disguise
A boy with cauldron of rhymes
The boy who believes in vat of lies –– fairytales, rainbows, falling stars and butterflies
Hath turned out to be lies
Oh why!
So here I am, O World
Waiting on the sun
Darkness all unfurled
The day’s just begun.
World torn asunder,
Amidst the white-hot flashes
I hear the rolling thunder,
I look down upon the ashes.
So here I am, Heaven!
Waiting on a prayer!
The bread that wouldn’t leaven
The pain I couldn’t bear.
Inside I know the truth
But my sins are not atoned
I, a prisoner of my youth
Thou, the king upon his throne
Here I am. Away, away from clichés like hurt and pain.
Numbed wholly, and they call me insane.
To thee, I bow, I smirk.
But might I fly over thee
And look for bread and butter
Dare I betray thee?
A million times dare!
