The Shades of a Man

Years ago, I opened my eyes

Embarked upon a journey

Which I did know not,

I knew not, after those pampers

Only dreads will be in my platter

So, I learnt to walk like a traveler does

But I had to run as everybody does,

Then I ran not heeding the tumbles

Tumbled I surely. Once, twice then

Like a common man, I tumbled countless

Soon, they began to call me a man

The provider, the provider, the provider,

They called this the shade of a man.

Without this, there is but scarcely

An unconditional love for a man.

All these years have taught me a lot

But I still don’t know, what the journey is for

Albeit the obscurities, I am do sure

Only for his Love a man endures

As a speaker with no listener, is always insecure

I have souls to conquer and hearts to break

I am a traveler from far away,

I miss home, I miss love and alone I sway.

But I have promises to keep,

I have to travel far away.
