Thou Shall Rise
Thou shall change for better or for worse Knows no one but time to come The upheaval shall decide what you averse The tides await rhythm of destruction to hum The eventful journey is itself a surprise The possession obsession too low as a prize Fear not, the times shall pass Alas! look at what you shall surpass In the era of depression, intolerance and agitation Lines of Shakespeare and Ruskin Bond feels exaggeration The need of the hour is so vague Orthodox thinking has hit worse than plague The science is at par But humanity has lowered the bar The aim waivers like a flickering candle Easy to kindle but hard to handle But the best part is thou shall rise When meagre supplies shall suffice Until then, the human hope is besmeared Like the past, present has sneered This isn't a race or tug of war It's between who you wanna be and who you are
