The Gulf In-between

Opinions of friends and family
Has crept in so subtly
Forming a gulf in-between us
Tearing us apart with all we have work for
Allowing the approval of the society

It’s just too bad
That you allow human beings
Mere mortals to form
A gulf between us
Separating us away from each other

I can only suggest that
You be careful in your dealings
Please look deeply and carefully
Before you leap for it could
Be a leap of life

I know that your parent
Love you and am happy you realize that
But how do you reconcile your life
Your future and happiness
With their parochial thought?

I am sure you are not
Mortgaging your soul and existence
Your tomorrow for their today
Sensible songs, you must realize
Are sung by sober people not drunkards

You are the architect
Of your life aside your God
The key of your future
Is surely in your hand
So think twice before you take that leap

Other mortals are mere supporters
As the future unfurls
I know for sure that
We have a date with history
And this we have to keep at all cost

…don’t say what you’re about to say
Think twice before you leave my life
