All of a sudden, people started babbling about a revolution,
Eventually, they were feeling proud in calling India home

A country free of poverty, of no more corruption scandals
Change finally arrived as people are geared up for the final battle

No more inequality, end of youth’s blameless apathy

Thou shalt not allow these crooked politicians to spread their wings
It was at par with the successful renaissance of Arab spring

But I lied to you all, as it was just a dream
Which got ruined as I woke up with a delusionary scream?

A year has passed; age old views were thrown to the dust,
They dreamt of changing the world, but somehow got lost.

The shimmering light, which was about to get bright,
Why turning dimmer, leaving far from each one’s sight.

Beyond the beautiful forever
Away from the soulful river
I could see a world unseen by others
A world from where no living being ever returned
Yet I went there to know the unknown

They Say,
Money is a matter of functions four,
A medium, a measure
A standard, a store.

I say,
It's a matter of hope, greed and despair,
It can make people fall in love and still be the reason for endless wars.

Money creates scars,
No matter how many pages you turn, it never gonna end, like the pages of a billionaire's memoir.

With money, you can get into a bar,
Can buy a car, may be a Landrover or Jaguar,
But who gonna heal that heart,
Whose tears can feel a reservoir.

With money, you can still have an affair,
With a starlet, if lucky may be a superstar,
But that innocent would never ever gonna come back to repair, your soul's scars.

It’s never ever gonna happen,
The way you want.

The world works in mysterious ways,
Which we never really understand.

So lets begin the story, don’t let the wait broadened.
The moments spent together, would remain till the end.

I dreamed a dream,
A beautiful dream

That was a dream of love, of passions coming straight from the core (of my heart)
Of emotions, that would never go sour

That was a dream of care, of devotion and prayer
Of feelings which will make the eyes full of tear.

A dream of courage, of getting rid of the saggy evil wreckage (of my mind)
Without becoming my inner demons hostage
A dream of gratitude, coming out of the shell of solitude

A dream where begins the end of solitary confinement,
The journey of all new excitement

A dream of endless emotions
The eternity of its mystification

A dream where you speak your heart out
Even when you are in crowd, you just standout

Once the eyes opened,
The whole thing shattered with a scream
And that was the end of my beautiful dream

His soul defied gravity,
It drew him towards the sky.
Even without feathers,
He started to fly.

He was honest, loving and truthful,
Believed Life as the principal marvel
To him Trust, Hope and Faith are the biggest virtues,
Which emitted from people’s soul?

After reaching the top of the sky,
He realized he is a mere human who could not even fly

But that did not disheartened him at all,
As he accepted his own fall.
Will definitely get over his injuries,
To start the voyage again to find his soul.
