Rueful Request

We all look up to the same sun.
To the same moon we confide.
We all look at them the same...
Hoping for the light of day...
Wishing for peace at night.

Unfortunately...
It seems that they are not just.
For their light is selective.
It is not available to those
heavily shrouded in the dark,
drenched in tears.
It seemingly favour those
who'd shamelessly croon for their boon.
Miscreants who shirk
their responsibilities and fears.

I beg you...
Guardian of day and sentinel in twilight.
May your arms be kind and fastidious.
May your reach be deliberate,
purposeful and extensive.
Find those who cry but without voice.
Cradle those who've made decisions
without the luxury of choice.
Shed some love so they could see
past their laboured breaths in mud.
Raise them to their feet
so that they might
have a fighting chance to live.

if you are seriously listening
to genuine folk songs of the world

     not to the muzak that pervades all malls

after a while you find yourself
     floating into these worlds  of ancient tunes
     imagining an ambience  of ages past
whose melodies have kept their power over centuries
and still keep tickling legs and bodies
     in our days
     of young and old

these melodies of our ancestors
simply remind us that they,
     too,
did know a thing or two

about the joy
     of living

In a new era we have been brought into,
With children holding in their hands the secrets of the world and its dark plans,

Children that were once innocent,
Upgraded with information so vast that was once out of an ordinary man's grasp,

With the help of the internet-
The cyber savagery that can now be called has ruined our society and killed its norms,

Internet the leading hypnosis-
The root of all evil has controlled children in its trance,

Gadgets being revived,
New and better electronics being devised,

Containing apps and sites that were once recalcitrant to create,
But now are easily accessible and made,

What has become of this world?
What will happen to our future?

Our children victimized in this bewitching daze,
Will only destruct the world greatly, in haste.

Another  day  is  over.
Another  day  is  done.
This  week  went  past  so  quickly.
This  week  went  by  so  fast.
My  life  has  gone  so  quickly.
Old  men  told  me  so.
And  now  I  tell  the  young  men.
That  life  to  quickly  goes.

Dream me
like if I am the clouds above your head
As you keep on dreaming about me
In your mind
Wondering what dream it will be?

Dream me of love
Making me a vision of love
To have a longlife
In what I do with my dream today.

Dream me everything
That was created and damaged
To think that dream is difficult
From everything I dreamed.

Dream is Harmony
Harmony is Dream
Me is Dream
Dream is Me
So let their be dream me everyday.
