To conquer the world

By Keyur Patil

Bleeding quills, and bleeding hearts-

Unspoken words have left you scarred.

Sad skies, and sadder thoughts-

They have pinned you down.

But you have in you-

The might of the earth,

The blessing of the seas,

The sound of music.

Fear not; time doesn't stay-

Good or bad; it passes someday.

The sun is doomed to set-

But the moon isn't harsh; it is majestic.

Under the warm embrace of stars,

Under the magic of moonlight,

And around the cool sea breeze-

You are safe.

As far as the green lands go; and further,

As big as the universe gets; and bigger,

As great as glory is; and greater-

Is your capacity, your ability, your flair.

So sing your heart a happy song-

And tread on proudly-

A whole world awaits you-

To experience it, to conquer it.
