1. THE WORLD IS BUT A TEMPORAL PLACE
The world is but a temporal place
Where you cry on your arrival
That’s a sign of the struggles
That entangles it
Hustling all-day long
Sweating to get full
Yet we see no joy
The world is but a temporal place
Where pure love is adorned with fear
For the heart is easily torn asunder
Even the heart ready to surrender
The world is but a temporal place
Where death thrones and reigns
Taking away one’s love anyhow anytime
Causing the eyes painful tears
And the heart endless agony.
The world is but a temporal place.
Where those in high positions
Are pregnant with ill-motives
That makes them act without fears
Taking advantage of the weak tears
And abusing them always
The world is but a temporal place.
Where everything is vanity.
Where man craves wealth that never lasts
the wealthy sometimes don’t enjoy
But why? Time makes it so
The world is but a temporal place.
Where we emerge from nowhere
But from somewhere only one person knows.
The world, too big as it is
But too small to accommodate us all
So one needs to executor one to enter
This world is but a temporal place.
But there’s a permanent place
Where time is boundless
Where everything lasts
This world is but a temporal place.
Because nothing lasts.
2. MORE THAN THAT
Life is a crossroad
That holds lots of chances
Yes, chances that are mostly ignored
But often, life is a curse
Where calamities unfold without a pause
Like a river flowing through its course
Life usually makes many fall
Leaving the few who understand the call
And the purpose it carries
To stand tall
For some, life is sweet
For some, life is bitter
But for those who know
The reason for their being,
Life is none of the above
And has nothing good
To offer in this world
Life is more than that.
3. HIDDEN IDENTITY
May it be far from you
To underrate them
The truth is life is incomplete without them.
They have a strong heart
Yes a very very strong heart
That makes them the only thing
Any creature can’t be at par with.
The real one is true
Regardless of opposition from the storms.
But some of them masquerade
And can be very cunning
Than the worldwide observation of April fool.
If you get the true one
Never be deceived by anyone
Because such a woman is
Always above the rest
Her home sees rest
For she can absorb
And give re than a chest.
4. THE WICKED CLUTCHES
How impossible it is
To Wade through that mountain
Even if you are not feeble.
One can’t easily sprout
Unless that hand makes him out.
There is always a mess
That hides the fresh
From grabbing a shabash
Oh what a sorrow
That precedes that tomorrow
Oh where I belong
Oh where I belong
Any achievement is killed
And the extraordinary is drilled
Of what makes him completely filled.
I may not return
Even if you all turn
From the wrong
To the path seemed to be right.
