(I recently wrote a song for VH1 Songwriting Contest but then realized that it has a submission fees of some 30 USD, so here I am, with my song for free...!)
When was the last time, you met the God,
When was the last time, you smiled odd.
When was the last time, you had a cake,
While watching on the TV, an earthquake?
When was the last time, you met the God….
When was the last time, you were in a mall,
And a car bomb outside, killed one and all.
When was the last time, you picked up the pieces,
Hoping it’s not your baby, but just a doll…
Tell me, when was the last time, you were in a mall…
When was the last time, you met the God.
When was the last time, you felt insane,
Ohh…so insane…
That you wondered how could you come this far,
Without meeting God once, or anybody who believed…
Without getting blown away, or blowing the ‘in grieved’,
Without any purpose, hidden or odd,
When was the last time, you met the God!!

As always, some points:
1. Saale 30$ mujhse maang leta... kam se kam aur logon ko bhi teri lyrics jhelni padti :-)
2. What is "the" God ? Yeh extra "the" kyun hai bhai?
3. The last lines reminded me of
"Dukh mein sumiran sab karein, sukh mein kare na koi |
Jo sukh mein sumiran kare, to dukh kaahe ko hoe || "
from Kabir. You lifting from dohas now :D
Your biggest critic,

Good points. The counter-points:
1. Agli baar se maang loonga.
2. Everybody out here claims to be God, hence THE God!
3. As Kabeer said, 'Nindak niyare raakhiye....', I think I got one with that.
sahi jaa raha hai guru ...

When was the last time, you had a cake,
While watching on the TV, an earthquake?
