Whines of the Suppressed (This was my first ever poem)

There are so many hurdles upon which we stumble

but our will won't crumble,

Don’t think we will forever take it in cos we act humble

yes, we won't surrender

Life is no trade and we aren’t for sale to vendors

Our life is no game

It's ours and we'll take it to our grave

its conspicuous that we are ill treated as if we are the worst

it’s a shame

the way you people behave

For supremacy you crave

why can't you stay where you are?

Why do you play with our hearts?

What do you get?

Mark our words, you will regret

Cos you mustn’t forget

God is up there

so treat us fair

we are tired of hiding here and there

don't tear us apart

just look in our hearts

step in our shoes

forget your rules(for once)

don't you have a heart

can't you see what we are....

going through.....

just because of you...

just have some trust

love is the core

your rules are just crust

your lust.....

for money, fame, name, image....

it all will come to dust

Everything will come to dust

but still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

So you lock us, beat us, skin us, kill us

but still, there, will, be 'US'

But still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

Aw shucks!

who are we telling to?

our words are falling on ears which have rust...

of....

traditions, ideals,

which increases season after season.

it’s just treason

what you all do,

cos love is there

somewhere in your hearts

this is really not who you are

you've walked so far

now the road is not of mud but of tar.

the world has become a bazaar

where life is sold like a car

now love is sold in a bar

now love is money

now it’s what you are and not who you are

now your life is measured by how well educated you are

in studies, in sports, where have you reached so far.

now life is a gamble

your luck and you win

otherwise you're left in shambles.

there are just so many angles

but in the end, now life is a gamble.

Just know that everything will come to dust

but still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

So you lock us, beat us, skin us, kill us

but still, there, will, be 'US'

still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

Now a lover is a nomad

looking for a thatch

to stay in for the night

and then next morning say goodbye

a now common belief

what are husbands and wives?

They are colleagues for life

incompatible colleagues?

They tear the contract and leave.

Ricky finds Ochoa

and Claire finds Steve

after a few weeks the four meet

they shamelessly introduce each other to their new colleagues.

Is this what love really means?

Stop playing hide and seek,

is this what life really means?

We've reached a land which is filled with greed,

tipped a point where only a few feel: ''You and me, it’s meant to be''.

Just know that everything will come to dust

but still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

So you lock us, beat us, skin us, kill us

but still, there, will, be 'US'

still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

The world was a creche

now we've made it a mess

the camaraderie people had

now has a crevasse

now people detest

everyone is a de trop guest

lest WE forget

and try our best

to make this world a lovely warm nest.

but you are always present

To burn our trees without regret

You’ve made this life the most difficult test

And you are so foolish, that you conduct it and attempt it and then you fail

Your deeds of sins are longer than all the world’s rails.

But you will wither and fall, for to save you there is no holy grail

There will come a time when we’ll cut your tail

And cease your shares

And you wouldn’t dare

To stop us and we won’t care

If you are there or aren’t there

You’ll be treated as a spam mail

And US you will hail

And we’ll laugh and in your heads we’ll nail

A rule that you’re nothing and God is the one who is to be praised

and he is the one who takes care

And we’ll say that you’ve gone too far and now you suffer his wrath!

What you do to others, with you others will do the same

Just know that everything will come to dust

but still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

So you lock us, beat us, skin us, kill us

but still, there, will, be 'US'

still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

There was a time when we were en route the path of good

it would have been wise if there we stood

but we took a detour

now we are not sure

now nothing is pure

everything's crude

we are blowing dust on each others face

our core is lost

and the crust has taken its place.

now life is a race

people yearning for first place

there is hardly a trace of love

we've lost our soul

we are just walking bodies of mud

having a thousand grudge

trying to smudge each other’s face

we have lost our pride, lost our grace

self image is our taste

such a disgrace our life is now a waste

in this heartless race of disgrace

still there is love

still there is 'US'

everything will come to dust

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

Just know that everything will come to dust

but still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.

So you lock us, beat us, skin us, kill us

but still, there, will, be 'US'

still there will be the true ones

still there will be love

still there will be 'US'.
