THE ROAD


Is it I that shall vanquish,
The evil that I see.
Beneath these very veins and,
Worrisome pains,
And find tranquillity?

Or is it the world,
That I once remembered as,
A happy place,
Which I now see,
With uncertainty?

Or is it the leaders,
The people of people,
That once stood for right,
Help people,
Like you and me?

When will this hunger end?
When will this suffering end?
When will I be able to see,
A road that takes me,
Higher than all the boundaries.

To a place where I can live in,
A place where all can live in,
Where there is no caste and religion,
No rapes and murder victims,
I see that place come towards me,
And I wait for you to see it too.
