Shatter Every Dream

The sadness has crept up in mind,
And nothing can be done.
Just “Stay Home, Stay Safe”,
There is no use thinking about another ton.

Felt like I was on the top of the world,
The feeling was great.
But just a little carelessness,
Made it all go in vain.

Tired of these circumstances,
Everyone is, of course.
But we should understand that the situation has worsened,
And now there is no place left even for the corpse.

This is not the right time to act selfish,
And co-operate as a team.
Or else the strain will continue,
And shatter every dream.

We need to break the chain,
Instead of becoming it’s part.
And we must fight out of it together,
By staying apart.

Milk and Bread

Don’t fight,
Always talk polite.
If an argument turns nasty,
Immediately get quiet.

Never lie,
Don’t be shy.
If you want to build a name for yourself,
Be a strong guy.

Don’t spread dust,
Be just.
In everything you do,
Always be first.

Of course it is easy to say,
But hard to get.
It feels like I am trapped,
Whenever try to make the first step.

We give our best,
But success never comes easy.
Even if we successfully clear an obstacle,
We mustn’t get lazy.

From toddling to achieving something great,
There is always a hurdle.
If we keep on thinking about it all,
Our mind weighs up with burden.

Sometimes it feels like I want to stop,
Don’t care if I get flop.
But what good will it be,
If I don’t even have a proper job?

We need to be brave boys,
As we haven’t got a choice.
Now it is time to grow up,
And leave behind our toys.

Although life offers a lot to gain,
Remember it is not a game.
If we really work hard with determination,
There is endless fame.

It is nothing but a feeble knot,
Tied on a single thread.
We need to decide very wisely before making every move,
Not so easy just like eating milk and bread.

Ready Now

The sun is yet to rise,
Darkness everywhere.
The possibilities are infinite,
And no place for fear.

Just living at my best,
That’s what I need to do.
Ignoring the empty and meaningless criticism of certain people,
But treating them with kindness too.

I am mentally and physically ready now,
To face the challenges held by this day.
Sticking to my basic principles,
And enhancing my abilities in every possible way.
