If i has known !!!

Thinking of sane life in insane world
i took a deep breath and said a good bye
tossing life and turning pages
looks like i am dying from ages and ages
listening Metallica with my headphones
talking to myself on the dead phones
disconnecting friends and nearby
in order to understand who the f**k am I
rusted aims,plastic means and rotten dreams
now-a-days make me scream whenever i try to be myself being
Moving ahead under the shadow of dark sky
still thinking someday i will fly
grinning eyes and clocking breath
am think i am alive or dead
poverty wrinkled down my face
making others understand the slowdown pace
need to grip the flowing water tight
so as to show up light is bright.

life is big Shit ,so dont Quit anything for it :-()

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!

The best poem of 2006

This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an
African Kid

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored?

NOTE: IF YOU ARE WHITE, PLEASE TAKE IT EASY, IF YOU ARE BLACK , PROUD BE BLACK

Dark Life

I’m trapped
trapped in this life
trapped by the choices and decisions I’ve made
resulting in this irreversible trap that binds me
constricting me to a given path
like a train bound to its tracks
I see my future before me
a path that chokes the joy from my life
trapped by my parentage
who bequeathed me my middleclass mediocrity
trapped by a spouse
who no longer loves me, but wouldn’t understand why
trapped by a Relationship
which really needs my love and presence, and requires me to remain alive
trapped by apathetic friends
who are fully absorbed in their own crises
trapped by an education
that excludes interesting career choices
trapped by jobs
that mandate acceptance, conformity, boredom
trapped by geography
restricting my ability to run far away
trapped by poverty
eliminating all choices entirely
I have no viable options
no pleasant foreseeable future
no realistic reason for foolish hope
nor pathetic undaunted optimism
I have nothing but the melancholy realization
that this is my shitty life
and unfortunately
it will last
forever

<sub>Am I in? Am I out?
Is it ok to be in?
Should I go out?

Where am I more free,
Out there or in here?
In my world, In my mind
I am always In but always out</sub>

Artist's Statement

<sub>I found my sanity
On the walk back home

The storm made me think
But I wasn't thinking of the good in my life
I was thinking of how rough life can be
And I didn't think about you.
About you and me

Walking back home
Thinking of you smiling face
Thinking of your delicate hug around my back
Thinking of how much I love your shelter from my storm
I found my sanity on the walk back home</sub>

<sub>Coming up from the suburbs of my mind
Joining me on the darker side
Everything must change now
Everything but what I use to be

My life will change in a moment
My future is coming up, down the barrel</sub>
