Untitled Song

I wrote a song without a title

A song about guns; pistols and rifles

Spears, arrows and slings in a battle

A song about scuffles, wars; political and tribal

I wrote a song without a title

About spiritual issues; Qur'an and the Bible

An idle mind is the workshop of the devil

So they kept themselves busy worshiping idols!

I wrote a song without a title

A song about redemption. Renewal. Revival

About perpetual sufferings and ultimate survival

A song about tackling tidal waves of upheavals

I wrote a song without a title

A song about health, diseases; bacterial and viral

Meningitis and polio which are more so spinal

Prevention is better than cure. Doctor said it’s vital

I wrote a song without a title

A song about people who live in denial

Troubled minds and people who are suicidal

A cup full of poison, they are their own rivals

I wrote a song without a title

A song about attraction, karma and life cycle

About dreams and fantasies of living in a castle

A song about butterflies and rainbows. No hassle

I wrote a song without a title

About everyday hustle and bustle

A bout stretching and hardening muscles

A song about daily struggles; everyday tussles
