Pain in My Brain
Dont
u say i never said,
that we r all dead.
we r all dead,
and we shall never die,
becos we were never alive.
The very breath,
is a great big shock.
The very shock,
u think is life.
I cut this shock,
and u shall die.
u think u killed me,
but ur wrong.
U cannot kill me,
becos i cannot die.
I cannot die,
becos i have no life.
Dont u feel scared,
ur hair stand on edge?
Dont u see the dead men walking?
Dead men u think,
but they were never alive.
And neither r u.
So dont cry,
when ur loves die.
They shall never die,
becos they r not dead.
They r not dead,
becos they were never alive.
Love, anger,
hate, slander.
A few molecules,
shall make them alter.
And so arises,
the pain in my brain.
The pain in my brain,
will slowly increase.
The shock to my lungs,
will slowly decrease.
In a while i shall be dead.
But u know what??...
I shall NEVER die.

After words:
Krishna says to Arjuna:
"O Gudakesa". Do not cry for thy loved ones.
Do not cry as thou have not killed them.
Pick ur bow and continue with ur karma.
