Know all the rules, then make your own

They live life by the book

going by the protocol, politically correct

presence is rarely felt, not out of choice

but 'coz they lack the mass effect.

 

They believe the word,

have faith, if not blind

be it god, angels, devils or ghosts

nothing more to challenge, nothing more to find.

 

But you, with that careless walk

just as the saying goes

'don't care who rules the world'

high talks, big plans to cross the fences

proud to live life by taking chances.

 

You don't believe in what's told

about proved theories, you don't care

but you do believe in random thoughts

that come to your mind, out of nowhere.

 

Then build on it, to bring out something new

for the world to see and to accept

that those words of wisdom they relied on

are proved wrong and now they're gone

 

You commit yourself

to the new found cause

dreaming of success

and never ending applause

just when it seemed the work was done

you lose the track, ending in a long pause.

 

So close yet so far

reason for failure, as you sought

found yourself back to square one, 'coz

you were caught in another random thought.

 

Could not fight the new temptation

losing focus, achieving nothing

your original thought remained a mystery

satisfied with half the work done

gave up on the claims of changing history.

 

To prove your worth

you don't have to lose your senses

nor is it required to break the code

just use your mind, or whatever of it is left

to know all the rules, then make your own.
