The Bait


With hook and crook Caught in distress of emotions Caught in the web of pains Like a tunac struggling to be free From the sharp end of the hook Stuck all alone to my desires my emotions caught in the web of depression Dreams aborted,watched As it crumbles and disappears Stuck in the lybrinth of my world Distress caused by the rebellion From the deception of the head in power To the anxieties of the mind Caged soul of everlasting mark Zig Zag way of aimless destination Restlessness all the way On all these my emotions is now a bait A tool of aim suppression Longing to be freed from the cage The cage of lonliness Cage of depression Cage of fright Looking up the sky, the luminous body Glowing, hoping for a better tomorrow
