What have you seen?
That no others have
Where have you been?
But places all crowded
They were all here
They all died here
They danced to the moonlight
They swayed in the sunlight
They slept with the stars
They smoked, they drank
Saw the light of Jesus, while inebriated
Ploughed the land, settled their bills
While some had their fate sealed
With a rope tied to their neck
While some even with the loose ends
Never lost their hope
With hands to toil and sweat
They made sure to use it best
Days in and days out
Decades and decades
Ages and ages
A lot of people
A lot of hopes
A lot of desires
Died here
Happiness, did they find?
No one knows
But it's all gone
Like your days of yesteryear
You a kid of 21
There's a lot to see
The wonders of life
And you say you have seen it all; all the hates
wonder if it's you speaking
Or your troublesome heart
wanting to escape the time-
the days and the nights
and be in the limelight
With no stairs to climb
Imagine how worth would that be
To lick your fingers full of honey
There's no pride, it's hollow
For your hand don't show traces
Of the paths you have covered
It's time!
Want that heart of yours to chime
With the flowing lines of rhymes
Go for a hunt
Alone - far better
You get much to learn
Here again, remind yourself
You are a kid 21
Oh dear oh dear
21 years!
