Offbeat

Some words spoken were such that the silence froze

Some hearts broken were touched and the phoenix arose

Some flashes became memories only because we chose

Some smiles remained unbroken yet the wound still shows

 

If we learn to live in openness sans judgments and expectancies

If we learn to live in the moment in place of reminiscences

 

Conditions will always change you continue to walk the mile

Clothes and accessories will not impress if you don’t wear your smile

Your journey reflects your attitude let the acquiring take a while

Choose elegance over arrogance elegance never goes out of style

 

If we learn to live with honesties there will be no time for guile

If we learn to live with empathy our benevolence will beguile

 

We are swayed by public opinions and awestruck by brands

We build castles in the air with foundation in the sands

We fight over territories clutching on to invisible strands

We worry about statuses and standings while relation disbands

 

If we learn to live in harmony if we simply join hands?

If we learn to live in kindness a language everyone understands?
