Reality Check

When fame and wisdom wraps you around
And friends and family at stake
It is the time for a reality check
Just to see if you’re awake!
 
Open your eyes to meet the truth
And not just sleep beneath the lie
Open your thoughts beyond your thoughts
And not just to the clean blue sky!
 
Power and prestige lies with the one
Who promises never to quit
Try and try and give your best
Until the fire is lit!
 
For there will be fire, fire to win
And to reach beyond your reach
Where actions will work and rule the word
And there’ll be no need to teach!
 
For this will be the stage after success
That makes you a real man
The stage that gives you pleasure and love
Of the journey that you began!

No fame, no wisdom will come to use
These will become just words to say
Patience and Love will take you ahead
From the place you stand today!

March my friend with your family and friend
Right across the lane
For there are more things than fame and wisdom
That you are yet to gain!

So when fame and wisdom wraps you around
And friends and family at stake
JUST HOLD FOR A SECOND AND OPEN YOUR EYES
TO SEE IF YOU’RE REALLY AWAKE!

I Choose to Die

Staring at the clock to figure how the time will pass 
But only to find that life is a tumbling hourglass! 

Staring at the walls to figure how freedom might feel 
But only to find that there is time for it to reveal!

Staring at the beam of light that comes from the window 
But only to find that there is no way back for it to go!

Staring at the wooden door closed like dead eyes 
But only to find how the dead really dies! 

Staring outside the room from the little keyhole 
But only to find an escape not for me, but for my soul!

Staring at my hands that slowly turn dry 
But only to find, they're the reason I’ll die! 

Staring at my face in the mirror with hope 
But only to find, that it’s in search for a rope! 

Staring at the fan as tears play their part 
But only to find, death wins the fight with my heart! 

Now the world stares at me and asks me why
But they won’t find that I was dead and yet I chose to die! 

Now they cry and weep when I’m not around 
But only to find, what they never found!  

Think and remember all my good deed 
But only to find, that there is no need!
