CHASING DREAMS

I have been all my life chasing dreams
But never knew how high dreams can fly
Doubt creep into my mind and stole my wings
I was as sad a broken butterfly

Somehow I found the inner strength to move on
Be bold irrespective of the difficult tide
One day I know I am going to be home again
And my dreams will reach above the sky

Only the weak hearted are sad always
They keep looking right back to the past
Right ahead of us is where the future lies
I do not expect life's journey to forever be smooth

They told me to pull over, my destination is a dead end
But I have made up my mind to feel no fear
I want to become somebody rarified
I will work hard until my strips is earn

Champions do not give up in the middle of the fight
They plan, strategize, and make a way in a barren situation
Wake up the next day relentless and bold
In the darkness they are the light

WICKED WORLD

In a wicked world we stand
Where evil is having upper hand
No sympathy for the blind
Poor and handicapped

The world no longer wears a heart
There is bloodshed everywhere
While mind saturates with corruption and greed
The atmosphere is totally polluted

Sick intention creeps into human mind
As rapist and ritualist hold sway
We continuously promote homosexuality -
Immorality destroy lives more than earthquake

In the morning, all I see is hate
Man despising the beauty of the world God made
And I wonder how can this be corrected!
Hooliganism, hard drugs, human trafficking are kings

To love one another, when are we going to heed?
The battle to preserve life, should not be forfeited:
Instead throw away all negativity.
Is peace too much to ask? Stop for once and think!

THANK YOU FATHER

 Thank you Father for taking care of me
Thank you for looking out for me
Ungratefulness, I do not want to be
I know you are putting a lot of wages on me

Not that you are too generous
Not that you are callous
But because you knew I am imperfect
You have been relentlessly patient

It is true, I can not hide anything
From you the creator of heaven and earth
Lord help me to find my direction
Help me to be focus, and have determination

Thank you Father for everything
The sky, the sea and birds that sing
The air breathe in and out of me
And for loving me
