Have you ever
Loved someone
And the feeling wasn’t mutual?

Have you ever
Held onto something
And felt like you couldn’t do without it??

Have you had friends
But,
Suddenly they turned into enemies??

There are Dreams
And there are Nightmares;

Have you fantasized
about a dream but then,
it turned into a nightmare???

Have you given Dedication,
But in return,
Received only Rejection??

Expedience is the appropriate attitude
Towards success.
So,
Have you Believed
And yet been regarded as Superstitious ??

Love is powerful
But, Hate is contagious
A little of each and ironically,
It spreads like infections…

Have you been in a House
And it wasn’t a Home??
Some of us grew up with bad habits,
Oblivious of the origins
And ostracized for our shortcomings…

Have you ever felt like growth
is a trap and not a development??

Tell me;
Has characteristics
that describe you
But cannot define you
made you feel like an embarrassment??

Some are stronger the farther the journey,
others melt at the heat of the struggle…
Have you thought through life,
So perplexed,
It almost led you to suicide??

Everyone lies…
So, if I tell the truth,
who’d be on my side??

We often say
Unity in Diversity”
Somehow society has united diversity

Pardon my petty-thoughts
But,
Have you ever imagined a more stable society,
simply because your Nationality switched??

As patriotic as anyone could be
The evidence doesn’t reside in PVC’s.
Tune in to every news on your TV
Apparently,
Even headlines aren’t new!!

There’s Tyranny in disguise
The youths are said to be lazy
Yet, there’s thuggery for a price.
The rich swim in wealth
And the poor wallow in promises

Don’t tell me to have faith
if you have never had to wait.
Building empires
With no entitlements to claim.

Imagining that everyday
Is a better tomorrow
Yet,
Tomorrow Seems like
It’s always a day away...

Have you lost your wages
To voracious superiors?
It’s a world of preys and predators!!
When the going gets tough,
Do we run or fight like gladiators???
