Conversation with Self

by Naman Goel   May 1, 2007


I feel pain as I try to open my eyes.
Its a pain finding truth in all these lies.
But no longer can I keep my eyes closed.
I rub my eyes, waiting for the mist to lift,
Thinking whats so great about this lifes gift.
It smells nice, but pricks you like a rose.

I get up and take a step against the storm.
I know, but dont care that Id be torn.
The world still needs a revolution.
Wheres the beauty of the world I can see none.
And I dont find anything wrong in picking up a gun,
And destroying these wretched creations of evolution.

You may not understand, and think Im in a rage.
You may not want to join me, as you may not be on the same page.
But from where I see it, I know that Im right.
You dont hear painful cries, you listen to the music too loud.
Youre scared to break away, you want to stay with the crowd.
But itll need some sacrifices to end this long night.

Dont you see, what I can see?
What a lovely place this world could be.
Why should the world still be deprived of light?
Why dont you open your real eyes and look around;
And try to find the truth that I have found?
And then, we could be together and set things right.
