Destination
Mortals on a journey-destination shrouded in,
Mystery clothes, and roads full of ups and down.
How many have gone through this roads-and,
how many are still passing by beholding wonders,
Of men of old ?
Our destination might be faraway-who really can,
Behold how close the roads might be-of old tracks,
All the way...?

Oil and tears!
Tears from oil-so many of my countrymen,
Long gone to the land of the unknown in,
Search of a vanity fluid.
Oil and tears- what good has it brought,
When many are still daily starving amidst,
plentyful.
Oil from tears - many souls forcefully,
Sold out by greedy ones,because of,
Cheap liquid waste.
