Dream

Dream (by Ahmad Babar):
All I wanted was to be alone
To have some time of my own
To touch the stars one last time
To recollect all that was mine
To walk away into wilderness
To rid myself of all of my bewilderments
To fly away into the night
To shine the way stars shine bright
To wipe away others' tears
For once to see the world crystal clear
To find out what everything meant
To wonder why in the first place I ever bent
To give love to those that never felt lit
To give back to life bit by bit
To cry for others' pain
For one night to feel insane
To break off my bounding
To be free of my surroundings
But I am still stuck here
With no one around that even cares
With people running after their wants
Hiding smiles and passing around taunts
With money being everything
And love left without it's meaning
With power being the ultimate
And people trying to play with others' fate
With stray souls all around
Tramping over others' ground
And I am helpless for I am bound
My lips sealed by the absence of sound
No one dares to take a stand
No one really understands
And in my heart I pray
For the ones gone astray
I wish for all to be like what I dream
For the world to see what it has never seen
For there to be love and peace all around
From the heights of the skies to the depths of the ground

Journey

My return after months.... hope you all like it...

Journey (by Ahmad Babar):
They don’t know why I am back
And I bet neither do you
You don’t know a thing
About all I have been through
I tried to forget
All that I ever knew
But I had no clue
Not one about what to do

Monsoons came and went by
I learnt to hold onto my dreams
Thunderstorms came and roared the skies
I learnt to control my screams
I moved forward on my knees
All in attempts of shattering their schemes

I went there where the dead lay
To pay them my homage
To sit by their tombstones
Watching people play their roles on life’s stage
To wonder what things will be
When I have lived my age

I then went to visit the place
From where it all began
To admire what I had done in the past
To see if I once again can
To see if I still have the strength to dodge
All they had ever planned

And now I am back here
To try and make you all understand
That it is not only who you are
But also what you do that makes you the man
And there isn’t always much to prove
Other than doing all you can
