Who decides??? (Dedicated to my dog Tyson)

Who decides ?
how much suffering can one endure

Who decides ?
who lives and how long

Who decides ?

Who decides ?
how much one must take

Who decides ?
when enough is enough

Who decides ?
what is the breaking point

Who decides?
how much to fight

Who decides ?
when to give up

Who decides ?
when to let go

Who decides ?
how long to linger

Who decides?
how much fear to instill

Who decides ?
how much freedom to give

Who decides ?
how much to praise

Who decides ?
how much criticism is healthy

Who decides ?
what is real or fake

Who decides ?
what is right and what's wrong

Who decides ?
the norms of a "make-believe" society

Who decides ?
what rules are allowed to be twisted

Who decides ?
what is acceptable or not

Who decides ?
if one is strong-willed or plain defiant

Who decides ?
how much is defence or destruction

Who decides ?
where is the line

Who decides ?
how much of truth is it alright to distort

Who decides ?
what times its alright to lie

Who ?
the entity we believe to exist
Who ?
the fate we try to twist
Who ?
the religions we proclaim
Who ?
the devil we love to blame

Who ?
the ones whose rights we deny
Who then?
you mean - u and i?

we, Who know half the truth?
neither the circumstance nor the root
let us first step back and look inside
before we, on behalf of those affected, decide!

"World of the dead"!

Welcome to the "world of the dead"
you don't have a reservation?
not a problem at all
we're open 24/7

about your room? oh nothing to worry!
you wont be needing much space
your come from royalty is it?
great,then we'll put you in your place

relax, there's no dress code
petite looks just as pretty as plus-size
since the lighting is poor
we wont be able to tell if you're coloured or white

oh pardon the interiors!
we prefer to furnish in grey's
don't worry you'll get used to it soon
as your judgemental self fade away

you want a drink?
oh but we don't serve alcohol at night
we assumed you'd arrive
already drunk on life!

sorry there's no transport facility to the previous station
but we do offer lifetime accommodation instead
you want to get back but wasn't it you who hoped
so many times,that you were dead

you wanted more than you had, didn't you
well, consider this place all yours
strange though that no one ever told you
to be careful of what you wish for!

Trigger!

hey i feel dead...
Come lets talk...
lets have a conversation....
maybe something will come out of it...
something that stimulates me....
shakes me up
from my slumber
from my numbness
because my thresholds seem to have shot up
and i dont know how to get to some kind of reality...
i need a trigger!

hey i feel high
need to slow down
lets sit in silence
maybe it will quiet things down in my head
something that eases me...
wakes me up
from my fantasy
from my wandering
because my excitement has touched such heights
I'm tired of this duality...
i need a trigger!

yet AGAIN !

WHO are YOU?

WHO are YOU?
you whose eyes my eyes are peering into
seeking answers....

WHO are YOU?
you who unknowingly or perhaps knowingly
sketched the entire design of your life....

WHO are YOU?
you who is on some kind of journey
do you know where you are heading and why....

WHO are YOU?
when you smile and a tear falls from your eye
at the small joys of life....

WHO are YOU ?
when you turn into a demon
dancing to the tunes of anger and revenge....

WHO are YOU?
when you writhe in pain
who comes to your mind at that precious moment....

WHO are YOU?
what do you realize
when you look at the miracle you created...


WHO were YOU?
in the countless lifetimes
that you traveled through to get here....

WHO are YOU ?
who all you need to encounter
what do your need to experience to free yourself?

WHO are YOU?
apart from the role-play either you
or someone else chose for you

so now i ask you again...
WHO are YOU?
not what what you DO....

YOU
who's aura shimmers before me...
YOU
whose eyes my eyes are peering into...
YOU
who thinks our paths crossed out of sheer accident!

i ask YOU
will you let me see a glimpse of your soul
while i seek....
WHO I am....
