Let me be the first one to say Congrats for winning the image contest in the club yaar :)

~Clapping~Clapping~Clapping~

If things changed by closing our eyes
And only true love could silence screams
What difference would have been left
Between reality and beautiful dreams

Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between reality and dreams. Love this stanza.

Am I like any other common man
Who wants more than they need
Considering satisfaction as just a level
Which comes after their greed

I think most of us are guilty of wanting more then we really need to try to ,ake life easier....the times we live in it is getting harder everyday just to survive.

Will we look inside to find peace
And not judge life which we can't change
Bitter words bleed the heart we love
Yet in the end we are all the same

Inside we are all the same Nitin.....we all bleed, we all feel, we all hurt, and we all love.

We humans would never understand
Reflections on the other side of fence
While smiles say a thousand words
Color won't make a tiny difference

If there were more people who looked inside at the person instead of the shell that houses our hearts and souls....it would be a much better world for us to live in.

There you stand Lord embracing this world
Consuming every human's pain
Hearing thoughts before they reach lips
And forgiving sins again and again

How may hours are spent praying...I wonder sometimes If I pray for the wrong things.

The sun will rise again tomorrow
Will the world have changed at all
Beauty reflecting through the trees
How many more lives will have to fall

Everyday ends and a new one comes and has anything really changed at all? We can change things a little at a time.....even if we are just one.

Despite your arms around my shoulder
Still feel I'm standing naked all alone
Though I'm not the only one feeling this
It's as if my heart has turned to stone

What a fantastic ending yaar. Your talent is really shining in this poem.....very deservong win :)

Love you
Cindy

Let me add my congratulations to Cindy's for winning the image contest. You have written very powerful and profound words. We are mere mortals and at times it is as if our hearts have turned to stone. We should all be understanding of our fellowmans plight in life. Well done.

So much pain & anguish in life which only
God seem to bear, to understand better then
humans...a heartfelt write where words go
deep..take care.

Nitin,
Oh my dear. I was so taken aback when I read this and thought how beautiful, yet sad this whole poem is. Congrats on your club win and deservingly so.

Am I like any other common man
Who wants more than they need
Considering satisfaction as just a level
Which comes after their greed

^^ Such a very unique line here and the truth it fortells is immeasurable. We often do consider satisfaction as just a level we reach. The sad thing is that we will always want more when we reach that level. It is human nature.

Will we look inside to find peace
And not judge life which we can't change
Bitter words bleed the heart we love
Yet in the end we are all the same

^^ Yes in the end we are all the same. Regardless of circumstances, wealth, nationality, or religion. When we die we are dead and that is final.

Despite your arms around my shoulder
Still feel I'm standing naked all alone
Though I'm not the only one feeling this
It's as if my heart has turned to stone

^^ Sometimes it is very easy to question the religion and wonder if there is a God then why would all this suffering take place. You have penned a masterpiece in my opinion. Nitin, this is such a beautiful and deep write. I am so glad you posted this and I think you have penned a very worthy piece. This is by far one of the most intellectual pieces I have read that didn't carry you so far past the meaning with metaphors that you couldn't read between the obscure lines. Wonderful write here my dear and in my opinion it is a 5/5 on any site.
Take Care,
Kay

"While smiles say a thousand words

"The sun will rise again tomorrow
Will the world have changed at all
Beauty reflecting through the trees
How many more lives will have to fall "
