freedom

Questions and exclamations
Searched for answers
on the dirty window pane
of a rickety inter-city bus

Looked at the world outside
That side's yours
This side's mine
And what about truth?

Hope's that weak
sporadic street light
Shining down self-righteously
on this street of busted dreams

Lives quickly turn sour
And passion grudgingly dies
inside those matchbox apartments,
scattered all along the highway

Everything's cut and dried
Everything's defined
There are rules to follow
There are images to maintain

And the naked truth
on a teenager's T-shirt
"Freedom's just another word
for nothin' left to lose"

sorry everyone, couldn't reply to your comments earlier as i was on a mini-vacation:-)

ash: my best? don't think so, i like a few of my earlier ones better:-)

sita: thanx! you still wanna stay anonymous?

blow: those lines are from janis joplin's 'me & bobby mcgee'

and the one you heard on FM (on my blog too), it's from floyd's brain damage. guess you knew it already.

yup, would be great lines on a T-shirt:-)

chandni: freedom exists, just like good or bad, right or wrong. but it's different for everyone.

alapana: now, i would really love to know what you felt:-)

sebia: thanx sebia! beauty and melancholy, they are never that far apart.

anonymous: say that again!!
