Indian Trapped in the chains of routine. Working. Studying. Longing to be a free bird. Will happen. Soon.
You look up, It's the ceiling, What's beneath it Is what's worth believing A broken door, Fallen strand of hair A small piece of paper Behind the chair, His mind works At the speed of light Not missing a thing, That's ever been in his sight. The smell of wonder Lingers around, His friends stay perplexed At every small sound. A voice that makes you shiver, The cloak that makes you swoon Is what makes Sherlock Every criminals boon.

-Sherlocked-
Surrounded by the forest, shrubs and leaves, Trees whispering to each other The night was what it needs, chilly,spine tickling wind An aura of beyond, A thought in my head about the mystery around. The fire glows brightly, our hands warm and red, It dances in all its glory, to scare away the dead. People are singing, the song of the night, the spirits are lingering with the moon out of sight. As my ears move away from the sound, the singing goes, quiet grows My eyes look away from the fire The chilly night freezes my breath, they move, quickly in stealth. In the glow of the fire, they know they must go In the candesence of flames, their story melts, you'll never know.

-Of Fiery Chills-
As I look up to the sky, I wonder why Something seems wrong, the World drags along with blasts and terror, a look of horror upon the face of the sky, which looks down and cries, Where is the peace? Will this madness cease? As days go by, I long for the time to call this world-Paradise.

-Paradise-
Along the path, he tread on Tall, thick trees blocked the light of the sun. Its narrow and long, he knew something was wrong A whisper in the bushes, a thorn on the ground, his guilt poked him, he quickly turned around. Nothing lay behind except the cloth bundle, inside lay the body of the women he had strangled. He struggled to pull the body, became heavier by the second the soul inside would have him beckon. Anger made the trees sway, the air became damp his mind infused with chaos of ways to get out of this swamp. His men were waiting for the price he would bring but he was trapped in this maze in his praise they would sing. The ground below shook with terror his legs gave away there was no shelter, from the trees, whispers became louder, wolves began to howl his reason for joy was lurking on the prowl. The soul within had joined forces with nature his mad heart beat like a strange creature He needed to get out but he lay deep in the trap His guilt held him from escaping through the gap.

-Guilt-
Today, the world begins with money, power and fame to name a few of man's sins. A world where there's glory in defeat of another, no heroes in this story, only thoughts that will bother. Nations lay scattered, with ideas galore Unity never mattered as weapons do more. A miniscule part of the 7 billion on Earth have surrendered to peace a life of sweet mirth Their ideas are woven around their family and friends to provide for their own to bring simple happiness. Where is the balance for the greed and need how do we decide which path is to succeed? Protests and news developments in technology, a plethora of new views leaves me in a bed of perplexity. A world with no pain a sea of merry souls will it be of any gain to our insatiabe goals?
