When the mind loses its wings
 
These material possession
Are they really worth?
When the mind has its wings cropped
To the mind's flight, what's their cost?
 
When you are more attracted to
Your farmhouse and your car
Where you sip champagne and smoke cigar
But your mind is in a war.
 
Where your foreign trip matters
More than a trip home
When that weekend drive becomes more important
Your friends no longer your own.
 
When the Louise Philippe and Ray Ban
Become your status symbol
When you carry your cellphone to your bedroom
With girlfriends at nightclub you have a ball.
 
When you play golf in weekends
And sip chilled beer in the sun
No time left for family
All you get is a false satisfaction.
 
When at Harrod's chandelier
Is costlier than a home made plaque.
When your glowing diamond ring
Is supposed to bring you luck.
 
When the morning jog
Is required to keep your strong heart
But tell me, honestly, my friend
Haven't you lost your heart.
 
When you go on a brisk walk
Late in the evening for fun
But would always be in your new Esteem while shopping
tell me, friend, what have you won?
 
When that weekend's long drive
And your laptop matter more
Than a trip to your dear ones,
Why have you closed all door?
 
When that original painting or a designer dress
Become a symbol of your taste
Think, my friend, what you really got,
And what all you let go waste.
 
Just beware what is coming
In this world you'd be alone.
None by your side soon,
None to call your own.
 
Because relationships are precious
More valuable than anything else.
You had everything 'round you
But all, you let go waste.
 
There's still time my friend
Come back and be one of us.
Forget that Singapore trip,
Forget the business class.
 
What is this status all about?
What is the fun in getting all such things?
When you have none to call your own
And your mind has lost its wings.
 
Is such a career or a status
Really worth so much?
Relationships are much more precious
Beware of being left in the lurch.
 
Spend time with your near ones,
And be one of them.
Don't let your mind lose its wings
Don't run after this false fame.
