I know you’ll just be okay When you work Till your whole being shivers With exhaustion And your eyes cloud With salty perspiration And you push yourself Into that one last lap And keep pushing for another- And yet another. I know you won’t fall; That much faith is essential. And, wherever you trip, You don’t tread on again. With all those lessons You’ve learned on your way, You know you’ll just be okay.
I tremble at the very thought That knowledge is a vice As long as its not learnt, Not imposed upon, Free thinking individuals Are a bane to the society Because they say things They actually mean Unlike those that connive And cheat and con With their truth-seeming lies To make the world spin Just with the weight of their guilt That nobody ever accepts The taboo to simple truths That requires a magnanimous courage To even comprehend saying it: They are of no benefit, Individuals with a mind of their own Simply because They never cease to disagree to mediocrity But aspire to influence To inspire the heroic in man Who might as well choose To abscond the path to their greatness And instead seek salvation Without realising that both Are one and the same.
