WHEN CHIPS ARE DOWN

 

 

WHEN CHIPS ARE DOWN


Darkness steals the light and subdues the almighty light;

Not knowing where to go, takes shelter irrespective of place.

The snowflakes keep falling like ‘Manna’ from heaven;

Even nature quietly settles but not my rattled mind.

 

Life’s so imbalanced; when there’s no vent for emotions!

Love’s a pleasant feeling; The ‘One’ that can’t be matched!

Excitement is at its peak as it reaches ecstasy!

I forget my age of worries and scale Utopian heights!

 

People are so bothered, not about themselves; but me!

I can’t just bear it as it shatters my peace.

Heart-breaking affairs do happen, not as often as this;

People conspire to distract but make themselves the mean!

 

Should they be after someone who is not the meanest;

When there’re so many who can be sought after!

Hei! You Know? You can’t just change the world!

Can’t ask people to be mum, when each one has a tongue!

 

Let them blabber a while and die down after a trail;

When odds are against, make sure, you got to stand.

You know, you can’t be shaken a bit when you are your ‘Master’,

Come what may; you go as you surge towards your destiny.

 

Hei! You! This world is yours and this life is yours;

This love is your greatest feeling and you gonna never give up.

Just steamroll the meanest in just the way you like;

You got to be majestic and prove others 'you are great'!

 

Oh! My! I wanna vent, a vent to my feelings;

I am just a ‘Human’, Oh! Please, let me be with ‘Love’!
