Democracy

Hey Democracy, Where are you?
Where have you been lately?
I've been searching for you
to get justice … to my poor farmers,
To my dear sisters, to the old men,
Who have been trampled by the arrogant rulers,
Have you been abducted by them?
We need your gifts of freedom at every step in life.
Young generations are misled, corrupted and wasted
at the hands of gadgets.
Hey, can you listen to me?
Come up…. Come forward…
Sky is darkened with vicious clouds.
Rain is deceased. Water's poisoned.
Crimson flags are furling everywhere.
Bloodshed is at doors… Save us,
Our Savior,…save the people of this great nation.
We, the origins of peace,
Descendents of Buddha, Vardhamana, Ashoka
are starving for it.
Give us… Peace… Peace…Peace…

I Just Can't Let…

I just can't let you bow
To the destiny
To interfere our union…
And keep you on the horizon,
Once again…
I just can't let the music
Playing in the background
To break the rhythm
Of our symphony
To be started again…
It's Time unknown,
I've been waiting for
Your hands to rest in mine…
I just can't let them
Separate from me
To wait again….
