Smooth flow
I still feel life is great
With good luck or ill fate
It is to be lived
Some of the facts are to be believed
What if we have to live in illusion?
Let there be some kind of confusion
Yet life is open and available at full length
We got to flow with it in strength
We may not have full freedom
It may be wise not to question wisdom
But its impact is felt seldom
As the life will be full of boredom
What will be joy if you spend the life of slave?
Where will you dare or attempt to be brave?
It is mental state of free venture
This is what we call it future!
Even in freedom your position is worst
You are citizen but not the first
You are rated inferior or of no class
The difference remains very vast
We have accepted the fact
That reflects in our act
We are obedient in system
It is appreciated by them
Live life calmly and peacefully
You may reach the end successfully
What was real aim of life on earth?
Eat, merry, and pause the existence at the time of death
The cycle goes on and we move
None of the questions are solved or removed
Universe may remain as mystery
We may bow our head to almighty
Even if you question about life and death
What have I in store to explain except my own breathe?
I know I am living animal and may remain so
Life, as it is, must have smooth flow
