I’m done with trying to be wise
Giving insights, ignored advise
Quite exhausting to feed the mind
Failed to unlock the eyes of the blind
Nor touch the heart of the carefree man
Unable to heal his cracked eardrum.
Today’s world stands on grounds unstable
Shallow foundations easily crumble
When the wind blows it shakes and trembles
Clothed in a display of bright apparels
And loves everything that sparkles
The root cause of all its troubles.
Its wide opened eyes’ only focus
Are the colors, neglects the shadows
Hears the music but could not dance
To the beat that the chords demands
Tastes the sweetness, smells the fragrance
Yet contentment it never finds.
Thus, I’ve decided to just stay
In a garden, bask in its beauty
Sing with the birds, the bees, the breeze
Dance in the wind with the flowers, the trees
Maybe then the world I could befriend
We’ll cherish each other till the end.
