Seeking Redemption
A mass murderer on the loose,
He’s gonna hang you all, by the noose.
You can’t miss him, on the run;
There’s obviously some misinformation.
And before you know, your time has run out.
No point standing up, you ain’t got the clout.
Better bear up, Cuz u got no guts,
Oblivious to reason, keep your eyes wide shut.
No place to cry
For levies levied
My justice denied
You gave me a fright!
Just humiliation
Consternation
(Come out of)Hibernation
There’s some misinformation.
And before you know, your time has run out.
“Sophistication, in my veins, lemme come home”
I say, ’Fuck you’! Leave me alone!
Can’t recognize the ground beneath my feet,
What have I done?
I cry over the phone.
And before you knew, your time ran out.
Could’ve set things right, But you did not shout.
Misery envelopes your conscience
While you seek redemption.
===============
I really think i need to say certain things about this particular composition.
Im not exactly anti-west,but this poem highlights a particular phenomenon that affects those who had gone abroad to seek greener pastures..as Pundits would put it,Been part of the the Great Indian Brain Drain.Its about a guy who has left everything behind thinking the grass is greener on the other side.Maybe he gets more opportunities,more reasons to do well,but then realization dawns on him,He misses smiling with his loved ones.When he does realize that he's sacrificed a lot more than he bargained for,his conscience propels him into an internal civil war.This equally applies to those who stay at home and feel ashamed when someone returns their "yo dude!wassup" with a "namaste".Both these kind of people have lost touch with their reality,lost their roots.Aping the West has become the foremost agenda on their minds and the only way to "remain cool".But when they seek redemption,Its too late.
Not that far off from what actually happens,isn't it?
