Stand Up & Deliver

Sometimes you have to look through the walls
And widen your gaze
There are people who want to pull you down
If you're climbing up the ladder
There are people who will lend you a helping hand
Which, if you choose to hold
Can turn out to be your biggest mistake
Make your own climb
Carve your own road
Let the pulling don't stutter your ascent
And the road make way for new horizons
Identify yourself
Live your hour
Don't fall off the roof if you get there
Influence others
Be influential
Be brave
Pluck up the courage
To swim against the tide
To voice yourself against the undeserving vociferous scumbags
Don't be afraid
Nobody can steal your thunder
Nobody can steal your smile
Wipe that tear off your face
This ain't the time to shed tears
This is the time to revolt
For your choice
For your right
For everything you stand for
For everything you deserve
For everything you believe in
For your love
For your destiny
For freedom
For the love of God
Stand up and deliver
What you are born for

Man, Woman & Child

The farmer perspires and we begin to live
He dies in vain while we forget to give
We forget to give our attention
Every man, woman and child
Give him your ears, not your pretension

The soldier shoots from his rusty gun
He dies in vain, too, while we all shun
We shun the fact that he died for someone
Every man, woman and child
Look up to your saviour before he is done

A girl dies in the womb and we move on
In the blink of an eye a life is gone
Gone even before it’s time to be born
Every man, woman and child
Be God or Goddess, be the baby’s dawn

Ideologies & Theories

Your ideologies and theories may sound absurd or outdated to some, but, who gives a damn anyway! Hear your inner voice, keep listening, and believe in that voice, for it will take you places far more interesting than where you are now. Only you can do that. Who else will give a damn anyway!

Intolerance

Intolerance of a kind, in the way we live in this country, can make us want to tear the system to pieces. Eventually, we realize that we're the system itself because we have injected some virus in ourselves. This virus (tolerating injustice, never saying 'NO', not kicking extortion in the butt, etc.) spreads like quickfire through our veins, making us vulnerable and weak. At the end, the virus triumphs and the system stays as it is.

Barbed Wired

I've been on my own for a while, you know
I've been on the edge with nowhere else to go
I tried to steal what wasn't meant for me
I went a little too far, where else would I be

I've barbed wired my own dreams
I see the world, unaware of what it means
I am scared as hell to open my eyes
Because someone has barbed wired my lies

The Streets Are Made For People Like Me

The streets are made for people like me
The blue sky is what I own as a beggar
I've got no regrets, no shame, no one to blame
I've got no family, no future to see
I'm a vagabond, people, I'm a life-digger

I smoke away my age under the sun
Into this deceitful city that drives me insane
A pig helps me stay clean, you know what I mean
Nobody cares when you are not the one
Who's got nothing to give for somebody's gain

I hope to live till the rains come down
To see my sins flow away without my consent
Till then I'll sip my can of beer, thinking death isn't near
I don't wish to die without a single pound
But I can't bend the rules that are already bent

Set Me Free

(Dedicating to all the unfortunate, sexually assaulted girls & to womanhood)

I made my choice a few years ago
I wanted to grow up a beautiful princess
I'm getting there, I'm sure of that
Some don't want me to, I guess
..
I want to walk down the streets
With no fear, with my head held high
I don't want to be stopped abruptly
I don't intend to scream out a cry
..

Set me free, set me free

Let me be, let me be
I'm also a life, I hope you see
Let me live and breathe free
..
I know you don't have a heart
If you did, you wouldn't throw me and run
I'm not a game where you win or lose
Your heart would've told you so, if you had one
..
Your eyes are enough to haunt me
Let alone your merciless, forceful fist
Even calling out for God goes in vain
When survival disappears in the dark mist
..
"For the people", they weren't meant to be
Consider me a fool if I believe they care
Even if I die a lonesome painful death tomorrow
There is no loss they will have to bear
..
Set me free, set me free
Let me be, let me be
I'm also a life, I hope you see
Let me live and breathe free..
