This world of palaces, of thrones,
of crowns
This world of division,
enemy of man
This world of blind custom
hungry for wealth
Would I care if such a world
were mine?
Bodies wounded,
souls thirsty
Confusion in eyes,
despondency in hearts
Is this a world or
a place of bewilderment?
Would I care if such a world
were mine?
Here a man's life is a plaything
Here live worshippers of the dead
Here life has no value,
death comes cheaper
Would I care if such a world
were mine?
Youth strays into crime
Young bodies are adorned
for the marketplace
Here love is another name for trade
Would I care if such a world
were mine?
This world where man
counts for nothing
Loyality and friendship
count for nothing
Where love has no importance
Would I care if such a world
were mine?
Burn it, blow this world away
Take this world away from my sight
Take charge of this world,
you can keep it

Netflix dvd was subtitled...EXCEPT THE SONGS!!!

Bummer as the guy is a poet and the whole film revolves around his reading, or singing, of his poetry.

Some of the strange contrivances toward the end seemed unnecessary - the plot was already dramatic and compelling enough without them - but still a really lovely film. And, in an unexpected turn of events, I really liked the songs in a Bollywood musical.
