I Did Realise In Time, To succeed And my dad Guided me to The epitome of Worldly success. Now I'm a beacon, For you and others, In this complete fray. You have my example, I realised that I have to, Without procrastinating, Put efforts for success too, And for a lifestyle achieving, I practised writing mock tests, Not any more novels, none bro, For I realised that I'm mi'l class. The Indian mi'l class put efforts, Without these, there's no bun, So, I solved mock tests daily, I didn't shy away and run, Put my efforts regularly, You too need just study. No legislator will think of you, For you come from the mi'l class, And from the gen'l cat'ry too.

The Flame of Realisation
None can defy what there is not So why and how do you? As Narcissus reigns, how can you contend? Contentment with the norm, a shameful folk you are As the faithless faithful preach We remain steady, watching through the distance silently and inquisitively So when the time arrives Haste we do not They, a pitiful bunch, consider us but shams "How can the peasants rule after all?" Oh, their gall And so the farmers and the toilers march March under the banner of revolution! No faith to obstruct, no wealth to envy 'Tis but another evolution Humanity will once again rule itself Not succumbing, but becoming its own god and its own master

Man's patience is no more
In America You're either rich or ****** Or privileged enough To be ****** by the rich Medical bills Car insurance Groceries Utilities Student loans ******** that nobody can afford Yet everybody pays for Because this is America And we need to have it all In America I'm ****** Because I'm not a millionaire And that's the kind of salary you need In order to survive

American Money
The man in the middle quietly weeps as the deafening crescendo grows on… Hoping by chance he’ll soon join the dance but knowing deep down, somehow, he is wrong? The people who lead have more than they need insisting on evermore -till it’s gone. And at the end of the day they’ll cry merrily and gay; “What happened t’was a wonderful song?” *

A Pity
Who plays a game? Who learns to speak French enough to drink their wine To make a life for their children Is it enough while others resist? Just a mile from freedom town The men all gathered there They weren’t going to stand down No flag could block the glare They said it was time to defend The words they read were near They didn’t live to play pretend Their beliefs stronger than fear It became clear Crazy was doing nothing But doing things you don’t want to do Is like being a ********** in the middle of a war Or sacrificing a life for people who won’t know the difference Turn off the radio The news isn’t good A soldier who’s seen death Is always ready to stand up He’s fears not for his last breath Does he live in your neighborhood? Who plays a game? Who learns to pray every day walking under an umbrella Fear instead of faith Is it enough just to exist? Just a mile from Crows ridge The people all gathered there They weren’t afraid to cross the bridge This time it was their turn to dare They said it is our time now The dream was finally near Still they burn inside the vow Fifty years gone without fear It became clear Slavery was doing nothing But doing what you have to do Is never losing again in your own home When the past remains a part of your resistance Turn up the radio The song says you should A singer tired of death Is always ready to stand up He cries in between each breath If I were him I wonder if I would
