Well-known Strangers


Days and years pass,

And, one day you'll see me

On a busy road,

Well, in the same city

While you have gone abroad and

lived a thousand ecstatic lives in one.

I, here, have seen a thousand different lives,

and yet you would have repeated the same line, "I miss you."

But, we only look at each other, not a word, nor a swerve 

Is it a mirage or a miracle? I wonder.

And, for a change you say, "I am proud of you!"

Oh Sun, Give Us Your Sunshine


Oh sun, give me your sunshine, 
So I can find and fight the hidden monsters.
But what do I do about the inhumaneness that is right before my eyes?

Oh sun, give me your sunshine, 
So I can bring out those who live in the gloomy streets.
But how can I enlighten the dark thoughts in their minds?

Oh sun, give me your sunshine, 
So I can nourish my body to make it healthy and complete
But how can I help those who lost their limbs and lives in attacks?

Oh sun, give me your sunshine, 
So I can enjoy the grandeur of mother nature
But what can I say to people who only wish for latest gadgets?

Oh sun, give me your sunshine,
So I can let my child enjoy and cherish life like I did, 
But alas, do I actually want to bring him into such a world as this?

Oh sun, give me your sunshine,
Not for me, but for everyone else.
For I live just for myself, but you raise and shine for everyone!!
