Just a Ploy...

Once i held my head high; once i felt sky high- now

it's no more!...

Though Life was a pain, everything was mine; with all my strife in vain,

i don't expect any gain!...

Countless moments of joy, it's all just a ploy;

whom/what did i destroy?... i know it's all just a ploy!...

with hopes of a bright sunshine, i decide to walk in line;

the shapes of changing mankind- i know it's nothing but just a ploy!...

the cradle of my young days; the witness of all my smiles;

the one that hid my tears; i shall bid adieu- to the cradle of my young days!...

with damp eyes i tell you, i never hurt you; with this kind of a cramp,

i can't afford to carry you!...

for all the things i housed, for all the things i saved,

for all the things engraved, for all the things i craved,

for all the things enslaved, for all the things.........

everything... nothing to spare- it's time to bid adieu!...

for i know it's all just a ploy!...
