Authored By Abhishek Mishra:

With the chains my wings are bound

Far above,above the grounds.

I am tortured by the noisy sounds

From next door these barking hounds

 

Play the music, play the music

Each night I feel so sick

To listen to these blaring songs

Which speak no good but lots of wrong

 

But in the cobwebs of city life

I choose to live not the knife

For I have kids, and a lovely wife

For whom my mind and hands strive

 

All i have is a hand to work

And a busy brain with no spark

All is a monotonous routine

And no fun is in the scene

 

When i travel the whole world

And sit at home feeling knarled

Perhaps it is my daughter’s kiss

That fills the space of all i miss

 

Of all the moments a dad has lost

All at a men’s cost

And under a layer of dust

Lies buried a husband’s love and lust

 

Does the world ever think of us

Think of a men’s loss

And of its unspoken cause

That so simply women’s tears does

Sometimes i move to places

Where each word ceases

And there i shout with all my will

Perhaps that is how my wounded heart chills

And this is my latest wound

From next door these party sounds

And a crazy father thinks looking at ground

Would my kids be like the next door hounds
