Unforseen

people drowning all around
from a mountain you watch alone,
the sky is all smoked up
raining black drops hitting you like stone.

at a distance your children
are drowning without a struggle,
hapless you stand
there is nothing you could do.

its then finally that you try to think
what have i done
where have i come
this wasn't how i thought it would end.

another chance is all you want
to relive the life and clean up this mess,
another life to give up the greed
to live with only that you really need,
to give back to this earth
all you shamelessly sucked out of her womb.

you shout out loud looking up at the sky
and remember for the last time your forgotten God.

darkness ... silence ...
moments so full of nothingness ...

then a streak of light
it brightens up the room,
fresh air around
brings back the missing life,
the koel singing on the window sill
just stops for a moment to make you realize.

loud you laugh
"oh ! it was just another dream".

waking up from a bad dream
how does it feel to be back again?
you needed to be shook up
to be woken up to realities unforseen,
all that you have and all you have dreamed
is about to be washed to shores unknown.

the bad dream is over
but don't rejoice
'cause you still got some time
to make your choice
you have promses to keep
to all those you saw there weep,
wake up this time
this dream might not be a dream next time.
