Rich yet Poor!
Why am I so dull and grey?
Am I too, led astray?
By voices, many, that haunt me down
into alleys that twist round and round.
Why are the smiles in me, unable,
to come up and let me be ostentatious
of the wealth of happiness and that of love
that circles in the world of mine.
If i have success, power, am rich
What could, but nothing, stop me then?
I must be glad, calm, tranquilised!
Why am I then so envious of them?
who live so simple, yet laugh out loud
and look at me, ah, wealthy man
with a sulky life, a heart so hard.
I have everything, yet nothing with me
All anxiety there, but no tranquil
Why am I so restless, sick of others?
Why am i so allergic to colours?
I fear if i had lost my heart
my life and dreams, and all my flowers
and now i'm left with nothing to cherish
for the love of the world took it away
and i was definately, led astray!
