I heard so many things;
Some’re good and some weren’t. It’s mostly negative and seldom positive. I heard so many things; It’s either criticism or cynicism. Every thought’s ill-thought. I heard so many things; It’s a painful cry of darkness, And a hope of brightness. I heard so many things; It’s all about problems and not solutions, As if the world is a treasure box of problems. I heard so many things; It’s all about failures and nothing about success, Ignoring the blood and sweat of hardwork. I heard so many things; They sing and dance on others misfortune, And cry at others little fortune. I heard so many things; They’re less willing to give and share, But they’re open and ready to receive anything. I heard so many things; Their social bonding is conditional, And nothing unconditional. I heard so many things; Those sweet stories of romantic life, And bitter stories of tragedy in marriage. I heard so many things; The impurities of relationships galore, Between friends, colleagues, and family. I heard so many things; I heard so many things and I heard nothing; I heard so many things yet I remembered nothing.
