This Romantic Revolution

THIS ROMANTIC REVOLUTION
by Azly Rahman

have passion in what you do
even if nobody could see
as it ought to be

live life as a gift
cherished so dearly

play hard
work hard
love hard

in all these, be smart
and share your passion with others
with all your heart

bow down to no one
to neither men nor machines
signs or symbols clear to you nor unseen

for you are, yourself
a universe in awe to be seen
with your inner eye
only you can imagine

you are
a master of your own destiny
a maker of your own history
a juggler of free will and destiny

in destiny lies free will
in free will lies destiny

life is a romantic revolution
each episode is a revelation

each cell in you a world of patterned cognition
each breath a sound of the universe you utter
with rhyme and reason

life and love is one
in these lie
the love and the beloved
that unites

every moment
every breath
every thought

if one knows

and see life
not as a dying bed of sorrow
but a garden of passion
in which love
daily it grows
