how does the world keep moving?

Ruk jao, theher jao, tham jao Let there be a vaccum all around Let the air be heavy with despair Let breathing become difficult Make the taste go away from food Take away the colors for a while Ya kuch nahi toh Thoda world ki lights ko hee dim kardo Rok do sab kuch thodi der ke liye Let us in this hollow Listen to the gunshots being fired In Kashmir, in Assam, in Jamia Take away the comfort  Of the hassle of every day life Of a dying world that pretends To continue breathing.

to the children who grew up too soon

May the adult in you have the strength To be kind to the child inside May you find playgrounds in offices And chuddy buddies in bookstores May there be giant teddy bears  To hug you on bad days And may there always be food Hot flavorful soul filling food May you create under your blanket A room where you can cry and Get angry and be fucking unreasonable And may you find lovers  Who love feeding these silly requests I pray that you learn That you are enough You are enough You are enough.
