Wish you were here
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Wishing you all were here with me.....but I am Here Without You

WHY ?? Tell me WHY
Tell me WHY?
Why do lovers need to show the world their love on valentines day only?
Why do Indians become patriotic only on 15 august and 26 january?
Why do we love our ‘shitty’ cricket team, if they win one(only)?
Why do we forget their past performances?
Why are our memories so short?
Why don’t we know to know about recognizing greatness?
Why can’t we live peacefully with greatness in our adjacent house?
Why do we have a culture of hero worship?
Why are we afraid to share our thoughts, if they are different?
Why do we do things, which we don’t want to do?
Why have we become robot-like in our pursuit to create human-like robots?
Why have we stopped asking questions?
Why are we accepting things they are?
Why are we leaving our humanness behind?
Why are we “depriving man of his soul”?
If someone has the answers,
Tell me WHY?
