Standing by the lake,
Asleep, stillness encompassed,
Amidst the dark lures,

The city lights twinkled,
With that my eyes glimmered,
As I stood at the opposite end of city, the lake

The crowd howled,
Desires, avarice, accomplishments,
Left with grimace,
Menace striking, I see
As I stood at the opposite end of city, the lake

The same crowd overlooked,
Love, content, satisfaction, peace,
Crippled minds quivered,
Went astray and lost the right track,
I stood at the opposite end of city, the lake.

In a way, I stopped to give it a thought,
Where our paths leading us,
Embrace the bad, forsake the good,
Is this is what our heart wants?
I stood at the opposite end of city, the lake.
