Alone I sat in the garden of thought; With my intestines I'm battling out words; Troubling my brain at its resting slot; about this so-called mystic world: It has no horns but knocks one down; Many monarchs had before it bow(d); A pool of deception it is,in it some had drown(d): Yet we chase after it like clowns: It beguiles humans with its fairest nature; A foe it is,a creature too cruel: We got captivated by its gaudy herald; And in an unknown pitch we found ourselves dwell(ing): By it venom many have got stung; Yet,they couldn't discover where things had gone wrong; Hard they strive,but little they earn; The race of life has no medal or gong: Many a people manouvre to thrive in life; abortive all their effort have proved; While some are merrying on what they work not for; They see themselves as wise while others are fops: O you rich! forget not! Your today's mansion and beauty fields: Your recent cars,so gazed on now; Will be a tatter'd weed,of small worth held: Then you shall be ask'd where all your wealth lies; Where all the endearment of your ***** days; All you gathered  your entire life shall become old; When their possessor has become odd: Why do we got beguiled by it that flattens? When we know that worldly ornaments are narcissism; All these were running through my mind; When I was alone in the garden of thought: #EL_CALIPHA

Garden of thought
I won't wait till the time lapses; Before making myself known with the power of my phrases; Care not getting there through the path of no traces; Till I end up earning praises upon praises; No amount I get of teases; Nor amount of obstacles that impede; My relentless head will always be highly raised; Till dries up my sweltering face: Never will my voiceless voice be short of words; when all I get is my last cord; Till my splitting efforts with one another chord; And bring for me remarkable honour and accord: Never will I give up with ease; Although I could hardly feed my bowel with cheese; I will fight till I give out my last breath; Then my soul will have the desired peace: Never will I drift on success; Until it faceless face with my hand I caress; If it will cost me pains in excess; Appreciation would be all I would ultimately express: Never will I be distracted by the alluring tones; Of failure,even I ought to walk on thorns; Supposing that I get knocked a million times on the run; I will make sure I have my *** seated on the thrones: #EL_CALIPHA
