Let's Take Things Away

Today, let's play a game
A game in which no one loses
Whether you win or not
You'll tell by how you play.

One by one, from life,
Yours, mine, everyone's
Whoever has any reason to whine
Let's take things away..

For just one day,
Let's take Light away
Life'd be so cold!!
What would you do?
If you could see no one,
And no one ever saw you..
Would we do half the things we do??
We would bump into each other
But would we know who's who??
Mirrors, moons wouls cease to be.
We'd have nothing to "show" or "hide"
From friends or enemy!!

If next, we took anyone
Between Love or Hate away,
The other would no longer be.
Being so different,
Each still needs the other.
You wouldn't love th eones you do
Wouldn't hate anyone either.
Why would you then even care??
No one would

If then we took away from you
Your Religion
Imagine how happy Lennon would be!!
Anyway, would you believe in anything
"Who" would b your God??
Would you still find him within you??
Or standing beside you??
And where would you go,
To wash all those sins away?
Would you "sin" at all??

Let faith be the next to go.
The world would be a lonely place
Or would there be chaos everywhere
Would you believe me if i said..
Sorry, such a thing would not be.
Who would you go for help?
Who would you ask?

I guess i've taken enough away
For this to be a game..
But look back and see
How did you play?

Free Falling

One day far ahead I want,
To stand at the edge of the cliff
(With a parachute, don't worry)
And dive down..
Only to see what i'm gonna feel.

Will I scream,
And waste more moments
Miss out on more things
Go past so much reality
With my eyes closed
Only cause i'm too scared to look
At the End

Will it be quiet around me
As if watching a movie on mute
In a 3D theatre
With action all around
But as silent as a lake
Will I be at peace
Even though i know what's waiting
At the End

Will i feel the wind in my hair
like in a roller coaster ride
Only straight down..
Like driving a fast car
Fuelled by gravity,
A rockstar playing on adrenalin...

Or will everything slow down for me?
For me to see everything i wanted to
Each leaf of every tree
Each crack in the mountain
And the faces it makes to mock me
Can i turn around and look at the sky too?
To count every star
Think of all happy moments
Relive them if i can
And not worry 'bout the end at all..

Or will i be frantic
For everythng i can grab
Every small thing i can hold onto,
To stop the End
Does knowing the End help at all?
Or how soon i'm gonna get there?

What will it be?
What will i see?
Be it scenes from my memory,
Or just a silent movie
Reality "TV"
I'll surely tell you
But if you go first
Be sure to tell me

Tainted Glass

Looks so beautiful,
The artist creates images,
Gives the plain glass colour,
And looks, or so he thinks!!

The world plauds his masterpiece,
Understand deeper meanings,
But only of what they see on the surface
Created by the artist...
What an irony..

They claim to see beyond
What their eyes show them.
Each one tells his own tale
And mere fools, they drink to it too..

Isn't there something more to it.
Have they seen everything..
Isn't there anything that they failed to notice?
The fate of the glass beneath.

Lying right beneath the paints and the colours,
Is the helpless glass.
Having lost its character and true meaning,
Merely being used by the artist
To gain the fame he always wanted.
Having thrown the glass to lie unnoticed,
Lie alone having lost all its charm..

Where all it ever wanted
Was to be a gateway to the true Light.
Show the light its true colours,
The spectrum of colours it holds within.
Just be what it was meant to be.

The artist took away all its beauty,
Gifted by Nature,
Instead gave it 'fame',
Dressed it up, Covered it up
Murdered it
And left it devoid
Of all it ever wanted

This Side Or That???

The door slams home,
Am i locked inside,
Or am i free at last..
How can i tell?

Have i just begun a journey,
Of a thousand miles,
Or am i finally home..
How can i tell?

The door separates two worlds,
Also connects the same two!!
Inside from outside,
The closed to the open,
Can you tell one from another??

Look at the door..
Does it have a "Welcome" sign,
Or one that says "Thank you for coming"
Which one would you rather see?
Through which one would you rather go?

"You're confused!!", screams the voice inside,
"Help me decide, help me, help me please", plead I.

He says dont look at the door, fool,
Look at what you see,
If you see the door, you're home..
If you see the horizon,
You have a long way to go, son..

Stars

Sometimes when i look up in the sky,
There are so many stars..
Wonder who put them there

I look around me,
There are so many stars..
Wonder when they'll realise they're stars..

Ever wondered whats beyond the stars you see,
What lies beyond the eye can see..
If someone else sittin elsewhere,
Wonders the same...

Ever thought what lies within the stars around me,
What lies within those restless hearts,
If they'll ever meet the star within them,
Will they even recognise if they do!!

These stars are wonders,
The almighty hand crafted each one,
Every single one, right from the guy who lives next door,
To the big-ol' Sun!!!
