Please Answer Me


Deep in the soul I search
Look for things unknown
Not knowing where they were
Kept in the secret door thats closed
Lost my way and lost the keys
Losing all the gifts I had with me
What I have lost was never with me
But what it is
Would somebody tell me please

There is an unknown hollow
Tell me what was it that filled it before
The water is now so shallow
I used to fish in it long ago
Things are changing
Winds are blowing
I am losing all contact with sanity
Why is it
Would somebody tell me

I am afraid to reach for unknown
Earlier adventures used to be a thrill
Now am scared to move out
Doing that makes me shrill
What is making me so
Was earlier my alter ego?
Is this the real reason
That I feel the feelings amiss
Confused I am please help me solve this

I can keep on laughing
But is it I that I am laughing at
Looking in the mirror
Is it the joke I am looking at
I a confused and mixed
Never felt lonely like this
In this crowd of people
Is there anyone who makes me feel fit
I am looking for answers to questions unknown
Please answer me am ithe only one alone?

Just because she will be a girl

Heads bow in front of goddess Laxmi
Fear the power, try and escape her fury
It is we who are called the civilized
But still so uncivilized we can be
We shower the love on our son
For misery daughter is the reason?
She who is yet unborn
Who can still not walk?
We move ahead in life
Use technology to commit the crime?
Not seen the light of the day
Might one day show you the way
She is your daughter
Your own blood
Do not murder her
The one who is still to see the world
Just because she will be a girl

Today in the country
There is for all to know
What our census statistics do show
The sex ratio going so low
With boys present but girls just follow
The numbers have a story to tell
The real world has a pleasant scene
The girls are no less than boys
They now shoulder loads of responsibility
Moving ahead in various fields
Times have changed
We should change our own beliefs
Lets celebrate and tell the whole world
Just because she will be a girl
