I have seen ‘life’… and ‘life’ has become me I have seen death, well… close enough And these experiences too have become me A part of me A part of who I am A part of who I used to be The past and the future collide… at the present I have had times when I was scared I have had times at which I stood up to the challenge when I was dared I am not perfect… I’m just a man A man destined and expected to always be able to take a stand Even when he’s down, to stand tall… proud peasant You need to understand… Every other man’s shoes are difficult to walk a mile in So respect my journey as I overcome all these obstacles and head for the ‘Promised Land’ With questions in my mind like… If I am not ‘holy’… Then what am I… ‘sin’? Questions unanswered… questions asked Responsibilities not asked for… responsibilities tasked Some decisions are a risk… such a risk they are But that is why the one that retained the Status quo… and he that took that risk Today, are not at par.
