A View

Alone again, wise again,
finding meaning nowhere
but in putting colour on a page.
Turned on by your sad knowing eyes,
Tortured by the smile of the ignorant.
I felt my being expand.
The room, the white elephant.
Ignore sleep, care for life, think.
No one says anything yet we all sink,
under the weight,
of set laws like set fate.
The individual dries into dust, into a mask,
is then freedom, too much to ask?
Soap-bubbles, petals and butterflies,
can we live our story without so many lies?
I don't want to bring a son to a world,
whose biggest ambition is to find 'a job'
or for that matter a daughter,
to a world that has forgotten laughter.
This giving up of our power,
is tearing me apart...
bring down the tower!
think with your heart.
Looking for the right shade of meaning,
you say and walk away,
this is just the beginning,
you just call red, red?
If you look through the window outside,
you will get turned into crystal salt
dreamers stay side by side
burn them like a thunderbolt.
Someone burn their pedestal,
those the ones high up,
don't deserve where they stand.
To break pride,
to restore human dignity,
you have to skip the slide
and remember your infinity.
