who were they?

They were there...all around me
black n brown white n gray
filled inside with flesh n blood
looked as if they are dolls of clay
enclosed in them I felt like prey

up n down I was washed with soil
the stinking sweat turning it to dirt
the sweat was of heat, the sweat was of strain
or may be the sweat was out of fear.

the clock was ticking n the eyes were still
they all were firm against there will

front n back from right to left I could see them
speechless, senseless, faceless lumps
without expressions...they were just masses of flesh

a predicament from which I wanted to runaway
but the masses were motionless without a say
all were there like insignificant monstrous insects
with a million complaints inside
and a deal for all on there face

the fear was turning into pity
and the pity into anger
for being one amongst them

who were they.
they were all humans!!

verse...II

wandering thoughts nowere to go
waiting here for the end of this show
blinding the scene, this yellow mist
in search of things dat never exist
takes me to the land i never been bfore
pulling me from this world into the core

The mask of a king


People here live wid mask. Masks that change themselves. Every thought every feeling comes into the world through this mask.The mask hides the true face nd showes something dat will b loved by all.You r afraid to show urself to this world coz other's likes is not what u like.So, u love to use dis mask which keeps the people wid u nd u use it more. Slowly, the mask becomes your own part nd den u loose urself.What remains is a person who is made up of feelings and likes of other people.

But he wont throw the mask out! coz he knows he canot live without dis mask.But he wont wear it !! He will keep the mask at a distance, so dat he knows wts in him nd wts coming out of the mask.He will hve his own self wid him nd show the world wt it likes.He hates this people around,but he needs dem.He needs dem all to worship him.
steping on dem he will climb.
climb nd climb nd climb.
He will climb so high dat u wont b able to see him.nd wen u wont see him u will call him god !!!

verse...I

thought of a thing to rite
nd took the water in a slice
nothing was bfore my eyes
down below the mercury wt I saw was ice !

The Story...II

todays curse can b tomorows blessing
the fate wid us keeps always receding
success is what comes after sorrow
coz its the light that causes the shadow

Spelling sucks

"English is a very phunny language" - dat was a famous dialogue of Amitabh Bachchan.But for me english is indeed a funny language.
The spelling is archaic, confusing, needlessly complicated and if you have a sense of humour its downright comical.You can literally group any letters nd say it ny way u like.Usually alphabets represnt sounds and sounds r combined to form words.But in english u ll find no such thing.
for eg- c can hve the sound 'see' ,nd can also b used for 'ke'
G can becom 'jay','guh' nd smetimes 'gee'
and then u have two letters for the same sound- V and W , both reresent same sound and can b used interchangingly.(W has four sounds and it stands for none of dem.)
Really no discipline at all !!!
The most frustrating of them all is the silent letters(psychology,school).I just dont understand dat why we hve to put letters wen we r not goin to say dat.
how can 'NO' and 'KNOW' both can be NO?
There have been many critics of dis spelling system.
George Bernard Shaw, who invented the non-word ghoti as an alternative spelling for fish (the word is pronounced with the "gh" sound of "rough", the "o" sound of "women", and the "ti" sound of "motion").
Its a scientific law of language dat if enough people make a mistake, the mistake becomes acceptable usage.The law applies to pronounciation, grammar,usage but not to spelling COZ the written things never change.
Bernard Shaw once offered a dramatic proposal for reducing England's taxes.Just eliminate unnecessary letters from our unwieldy spelling and u ll save enough money in paper and printing to cut everyones tax rate in half.May be dat was right, but we ll never be able to find that.

Dark light

war
it ain't so far
looking at u like a lion to dear
standing in the field far away
not moving his eyes from the prey
where is he ,u never know
in your mind its always there as foe
man built bombs and gun
playing with it was never fun
with them comes horror and pain
taking lives again and again
human kills human just to stay alive
making you think whats wrong and whats right
coz you wanna take a stand and dive
may be its wrong, may be its right
or may be theres no right or wrong
its the quest for power, the quest for strength
to be the one, above them all
the war was never started
the war will never end
coz the war is always on...
