haunted by a dream...

i had never in my life believed that i could be a songwriter...until a few days ago...my poem catcher in the rye was made into a song by us but i wrote it as a poem to which my friend shravan gave the sound of music...but a couple of days ago we were jamming and i started singing whatever came into my mind...some of it was lyrics of songs i knew sung to a different tune and some of it was made up impromptu...what lies beneath is a refined and more complete version of the impromptu parts...i call it 'dreams of pink and white'...

puff the magic dragon and I
once went into his lair...
we chanced to talk of was and when
and also then and there...

we walked through times bygone and new
and saw their fools and kings...
this world is such a cruel place
just full of stupid things...

dreams of pink and white, and
smoke rising through the night...

puff the magic dragon and I
into the skies we soared...
we floated on the cloudy turf
and then we talked some more...

but,hark the birds of pleasure sang
in words of white and gold...
their secrets were then hidden deep
never to be retold...

dreams of pink and white, and
smoke rising through the night...

but the dream was broken
what could i do?
idiots ruled in heaven
nothing was true!
they came for me and took away
everything i wanted
i was left feeling hollow
but still i was haunted ...
haunted...
haunted...

pain, misery, abomination,
hunger, death, discrimination,
false prophets, prevarication,
they don't like you, extermination...

haunted...haunted...haunted...

living a lie of happiness
blinded by what they feed you
you think everything is fine
get out i don't need you

haunted...haunted...haunted...

puff the magic dragon and I
have looked beyond their lies
let them mock and rule today
for one day we shall rise...

dreams of pink and white, and
smoke rising through the night
dreams of pink and white, and
smoke rising through the night...

South Park rules!!!

have been watching a lot of south park lately...it's absolutely wonderful...the show takes a very different view of the crazy world we live in through the eyes of four little kids in a "quiet, little, redneck mountain town"...and it's really insightful...perfect show for someone like me with 'catcher in the rye' syndrome...
well...found a lot of cool stuff on the net...best was the site where you can create your own south park characters called planearium...made up a lot of characters on it yesterday...those can be seen on my partner in crime's blog...
i took a go at it again today and came up with me and my girlfriend...hehehe...plz forgive me if you are reading this...here we are...




hehehe...don't we look cute?

there's a personality test on the comedy central website too which tells you which south park character you are...i gave that too and YIPPPEEEEEE!!! i'm my favorite character eric cartman!
for all of you ass-licking, ball-sucking uncle fuckers who don't know shit about south park wikipedia describes eric cartman as "an abusive, anti-Semitic, violent, campy, aggressive, greedy, corrupt, sexist, bigoted, self-centered, rude, racist, wildly insecure and extremely manipulative young sociopath"...hehehe!!!

a fresh start...

this might have been said a lot of times on my blog earlier, but it's been true all the times...it's been a long time since i posted anything...i have been a little busy...but i'll continue posting whenever i feel like it...i titled this post the way i did because i've started a new experimental blog...it's experimental because i haven't seen it done earlier...i've seen a lot of community blogs but i have yet to see a one on one blog...so i got together with Lucifer Sam ,who isn't what i'd call a blogger, to create a new space...we'll be exploring this space tegether and hopefully giving something new to blogdom...it will be a blog with two different perspectives of life...a chronicle of life as viewed through two different prisms...in conformity with my self styled moniker of infinity, he has taken on the nom de plume zero...
together we present to you the fresh start...

Infinity and Zero

hope you like what we've tried to do...

Imagine

"Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one "

-John Lennon, 'Imagine'

the song of the nightingale...

its been a long time since my last post...but sometimes it takes a break to get the right perspective...this poem expresses my deep intolerance for organised religion in all its forms even though i've used only christian theology and mythology as its symbols...oh it's great to be back!!!

can you hear the nightingales sing
in voices full of sorrow
can you hear that song of woe
that tells of how you killed tomorrow

the angels weep as they fall from grace
and the father laughs aloud
while the son mocks them as they burn
ha! you had to be proud!

the serpent is cursed for he gave you the truth
and tried to set you free
while jokers and magic men you enthrone
'cause they lie to your face with glee

too many lies
too many cries...of pain
too little love
too little truth...remain
shackles, fetters, chains and locks
everywhere around
the only true joy of liberty
is nowhere to be found

if just once you'll heed the song
instead of the promised lies
come fly with me and the magic dragon
to a world untouched by eyes

kill the monster you created
if he isn't already dead
for though you live on in blind faith
it's all just in your head

no more kings!
no more priests!
no more lies!
no more cries!
no more tears!
no more fears!
no more hatred!
no more war!

Peace...Beauty...Truth...Love...
and Freedom!

can you hear the nightingales sing
in verses sharp as arrows
can you hear this song of hope
that tells of how we'll save tomorrow...
