HOUSE OF CONTRADICTION


Song of the New Millennium

The year 2001 heralds the beginning of a new millennium. And it was a year I can never forget.

It was a year filled with many events. It was a year filled with suffering and joy, love and hate, death and sadness, success and failures, achievements and learning, new experience and new lessons. It was a year where I learned more things and experienced more than I ever could in my lifetime.

One year pass and another comes. So fast... time moves so fast... Sometimes I look back and wonder what has been achieved within this year alone.

I have achieved many things, yet failed to achieve many things too.

All in all, it is a contradiction.

After all, what did you expect from the House of Contradiction ?

 

I

Tide sets and sun rise,

Years change and time flies.

 

Hills become mountains,

Land becomes sea.

 

People die children borne,

Love in eye hate in scorn.

 

Dreams relived memories returned,

Joy felt pain suffered.

 

Success earned failure strikes,

Fall from grace rise to heavens.

 

A new year begins a new century begins,

A new millennium begins a new year ends.

 

II

Things fall apart yet hold on more,

The more things are lost the more is gained.

 

Love found and love lost,

So profound and so sorrow.

 

Nymph of tales so sweet of desire,

A taste of bliss forever in fire.

 

Love found in lust and need,

Love suffered in lost and creed.

 

Betrayal in love and in brother,

Held innocent in faith and in principles altogether.

 

Suffering found pain endured,

Unspoken truth forever silenced.

 

III

Life and death forever in circles,

Tears and sorrow hiding in mirth.

 

Double a decade more of love and care,

Thrice the pain and tears that flare.

 

Love unconditional tender and a haven,

Love unreturned chance not given.

 

In death chances are lost,

In life pain clings on.

 

How many actions undone words untold,

Love unshown and regret unfold.

 

A fact unaccepted to be accepted,

Nothing be done to be fully affected.

 

IV

Work and play never together,

Things in life never forever.

 

Achievement and success gather in life,

Failure and losses lessons to write.

 

Material gains always for fools,

Experienced gained never to lose.

 

Lessons learned standards achieved,

Results coming soon to be a feat.

 

Age grows beyond age,

Heart becomes old as a sage.

 

Awaiting a time an empire grows,

A dream of a house of gold.

 

V

Many things unfold as time change,

Great things are told as I begin to age.

 

Death of a thousand by wings of fire,

War of nations and cries that are dire.

 

A place to sit and a place to build,

A new home and a new guild.

 

Many a beauty and marvels met,

All a wonder I couldn't get.

 

Sights of life seen and fruits of passion eaten,

A treasure lost but a whole lot taken.

 

Dreams begin and dreams start anew,

Begins here and all be true.

 

VI

Many a great pain suffered within a time,

Many a darkness descend ringing like a chime.

 

So much seen and felt like a mountain's track,

Walked and trodden until a great crack.

 

Love so much and lost so much,

Only creed holding on through the march.

 

So many words unspoken hearts tighten,

Pain held within the truth frightens.

 

A year ends and many a things happen,

A year begins and many a thing deadens.

 

Time moves forever in a continuum,

This is my song of the new millennium.
