THIS ONE BATTLE


This one battle...
This battle Against uncertainty...
against not knowing..
against not having been there all the bloody while when the decisions are made..
Everybody fights the same bloody battle
everybody wants to be focused...nobody likes being lost on the way...
nobody likes being on their own all the bloody while..
Nobody likes orders. Nobody likes being ordered around. Nobody likes being vulnerable...nobody likes waiting forever nobody waits forever..
Nobody likes being a nobody...
life makes nobodies out of us
then you look at life. you smirk...
you know its not going to be like this forever. you find your kingdom one day
these are the days of exile
the days of exile
these will be remembered as good days too
when you sit in your castle counting your pennies and your men
you will miss the days of being a mere nobody
when nobody on the street knew you
when you were free to sleep on the road
when you had all the blue sky to yourself
had the time to speak to every gulmohur on the road about this cruel indifferent world
this is the one battle that you will fight well
this is the battle you will win one day
this one battle that occupies your whole bloody life
this silly battle
this one battle that you and I fight today!
This one battle I am not loosing this time..
Do you hear me? Loud and clear? I am not loosing this time!
Not this on battle for this one time
