Smile

Smile
And the world shall laugh at your face
Cry
And the world shall laugh at your face
Run
And the world might still be laughing at your face

How synthetic this emotions seem
When a girl cries or smiles
Or runs with joy or fear
Here and There
And everywhere
When Death is so near

Let alone this world feel ashamed
Of her chastity might proclaim
And if she is not to be true
Honor killing will do

To save our names and bonds
And the status we built upon
The walls so high
To not let her fly
And chain her down
With red bangles

Fly my friend
And let the world know
You are free
Free to be
Me

Let it go Let it stay Let it run But see it does not run away Let it feel Let it touch Let it hold But only till you can behold Sweet noise Purple dust Morning and Twilight of dusk Sincere love Pathetic anyways ? Sooth your heart Open it Smell it But see that you don't hurt it Don't eat it It might not taste so good As it looks to be Be like that Do like this Compare Don't Consult Judge by your brain Not your heart Judge By the ways You have experienced Life And not by the Ways taught to you Sense it And it will be yours May be Forever... - Saswati Barat 1:14 Am May 21,2009

I am Society

I am society I am the mind I am greedy I am the kind I am love And I am peace I am what you Think of me is I twirl and twist And stop the change I break the bottle And shift the phase I am Mighty I am a Beast I can be tasty But I can be least Least bothered Least concerned Lest you make Me feel I am perfect I am time I am mortal I am fine I am a story I am a tale I was the king And the angel I am cold Cold like the mountains And I am warm Warm When the sunshine beats When the grenades fail I am the blanket I inhale All your sorrow All your grief I am old And I am ancient But I am patient I am the society - Saswati Barat
