Agile, the masked ones squander,
Words of cuss, at me they mercilessly shower.
Life is no maze, but a mere rigid line
The rules,like chains - they smother, they entwine.
Blindfolded, I tread well beaten trails
Passion - nipped , now mere muffled wails.
Born a human, engraved with emotions,
Aren't dreams my forgotten birth rights?
Friends crumpled to shreds in gore;
Flames of love stamped sin and sore.
Seeking peace, I whimpered in the dark,
Never got any, for the truth was shoddy and stark.
To fight with pen I learnt in time,
Pellets of words so perfect with rhyme.
Bore through their chest, thorough and right;
I dabbled in words, ain't bloodless this fight?
Wait! did I commit a crime?
For cuff links cling together like chime!
For cuff links cling together like chime!
Binding my hands, yet freeing my soul;
My words shall scream, through mountain mounds.
Shun the hatred, shun the evil;
Break the chains, the reins of the devil!
Open your eyes, won't you sycophant?
This is no rebel, but a human's pleading rant.
