Justice

When justice stands still
only the fool heated, 
will contemplate pursuing even the most just of causes, 
when justice stands still, 
the brave only will seek retribution 
for sins committed against them and their kinsman, 
can any gleams of sovereignty exist 
where justice takes a tea break, 
and when justice decides to stand still
will any sanity prevail, 
where justice once stood still, 
can any unity ever be restored
when justice stands still, 
the supposed saviors become the enslaves, 
who then will stand up to refuse for the people
when justice stands still, 
the law makers become peace detractors, 
creating laws meant not to ensure harmony, 
but to bring woo to the masses, 
when justice stands still, 
they will seek to devour, 
those they once vowed to protect, 
justice stands still, 
the eleventh plague, 
not just a biblical fantasy, 
but a present reality 

Ice .. and Fire

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice. 

The Art of Letting Go

There comes a time
when we must let go.
Let our heart speak
let the tears flow.
It's never easy
for us to do.
But sometimes it's
the only way
of healing you.
We will doubt
whether it's right
or wrong. 
But it's the first step
that you've taken
in so long.
How things will
turn out, we'll know
in the end.
But, if it's happiness
we seek.
It's better to find it
rather than just
pretend.

Husband and wife

I’m losing my life 
Before my eyes
What I cherished most
I've learned to despise.
The dreams we shared
The castles we built
Have now turned to stone
From anger and guilt.
I have no control
I’m under your spell
With the secrets you keep
You've chained me in Hell.
You’re beating me down
With your words and lies
The pain is un-giving
It’s useless to try.
But tearing me up
I think you should know
I’m not giving up
I’m not letting go.
So bring on the pain
Your words and deceit
My love is too strong
For you to defeat.
I’ll fight to the death
Be it your heart or mine
My strength may be weakened
But my love stands through time.
Through good times and bad
Before God on our knees
We promised to love
I’m begging you, please.
Stop ruling the world
Just let it all be
The one thing that matters
Is you and me.
You may be lost now
But I’m letting you know
I’m hanging on tight
I’m not letting go.
I’ll wait if I have to
For the rest of my life
Because together we promised
As husband and wife. 

We don't care

We only have one life, so why do most of us waste it.
We live by the same rules everyday and never change.
We only have this one world and we look at it likes its nothing.
Trees the earth. What happens when it's all gone? 
Would we miss it? Or would blow it off and say we don't care? 
And of course we only have one heart and that heart can only
be given to one person.
But how come we give it to everyone who looks at us twice? 
We watch it get broken all the time.
So I ask you what happens when we die and we think of the things
that we would have done differently.
Would we have lived our lives to the fullest? 
Would we have taken better care of our earth? 
And would we have been more careful who we gave our heart to? 

Fools desire

Is it fool’s desire? 
To undo what’s been done.
Hold hope in times of despair.
Wait for moments bygone.
‘It is fool’s desire’
Longing for the truth
Are you the sky’s heir? 
To deny the heaven’s wrath 
‘Its fools who desire’
For joy, for life beautiful! 
World clouded with stale air
We live amongst the deceitful
‘It is fool’s desire’
 The patience to wait for the one you love 
and the courage to accept that you've waited for nothing.
‘It is fool’s desire’
Me to give up my dreams, even it wasn't worth the suffering

Fool with roles

Fools always have nails
To scratch their heads with...
They always find trails
To stumble their ways with
They always have arguments
To shut the mouths with
They donate themselves
To others to play with
My friend, what i owe you
My wisdom, to tackle with
But mirrors show everything
I used to be a mirror
And now i realized; 
while watching in the mirror
That i am that bald man...
But i aint grow the nails
to scratch my head with

Uncompleted mission

Put myself back together in a five minutes walk 
Wear on my sweetest smile 
And fake my happiest tone 
Bury my anger and all the words that haven't come out of my mouth 
They will not see the injuries from the south 
I'll save up my cynical smirk for the upcoming disappointment 
I'll gather all the damages for whoever needs them back 
I'll pick up all the pieces for the next time someone wants to see me collapse 
I'm sure there's more 
So try your best to hurt me until i care 
Cause i'm still standing here 
Not dead not vanished not devastated 
Clearly there's a mission uncompleted 

From nothingness we came,

From nothingness we came, 
into nothingness we shall pass, 
and this life beautiful, 
is for only few years alas! 
Yesterday night my neighbor's, 
heart beat for the last time, 
tomorrow you may no longer see, 
me sitting on the garden grass.
and with each passing moment, 
we keep on breathing this air, 
until we have no more left, 
in our life's lovely glass.
but for only a few of the days, 
i lived in peace and harmony, 
while for the rest of the days, 
i busy was in the race to amass.
but from today i take this vow, 
to live each day with utmost class, 
to seek happiness in all little things, 
to have often whole hearted laugh.
So that when it is time to go, 
to death i can no longer say no, 
i know that i have lived enough, 
and happily i can declare 'ok to last

Time ..

Man is not left untold, untaught,
Untrained by Heaven to heavenly things;
No! every fleeting hour has brought
Lessons of wisdom on its wings;
And every day bids solemn thought
Soar above earth's imaginings.
In life, in death, a voice is heard,
Speaking in Heaven's own eloquence,
That calls on purposes deferred,
On wand'ring thought, on bewildering sense,
And bids reflection, long interred,
Arouse from its indifference.
The present, future, and the past,
It offers to our thoughtless eye;
That present is too short to last-
That past is gone for ever by;
That future comes-a stormy blast
That sweeps us to eternity.

Freedom time

Sweet times are here to be, 
If we give it the opportunity; 
That can not be taken away, 

And nobody can steel or sway.
Words will flutter and return,
The lights will flash and burn;
But freedom will always live,
From what we to freedom give.
Sweet times flow and spring,
Like nightingale to a world sing;
Be a cleft in a splendors whirl,
Or a billow in the oceans swirl.
Silences in rest and in speech,
Kindnesses to each other teach;
An invention of the world spirit,
Wisdom of its judgment and wit.
Sweet time like breeze in trees,
Compassion that mankind frees;
A wind that keeps nothing still,
The kindness and conquer of will.
Like a syllable and like a flame,
Resurrections of a peaceful aim;
Good times last a moment
bad times last forever.
The equilibrium between them
is unequal you will agree.
The good times should last
long into infinity
and the bad ones
should disappear within moments
and never return.
For freedom will always live,
From what we to freedom give

Sins of yesterday

So many lessons to learn but no one will tell you
the moral of the story, all great men died
You will too, I will too.
That fact pushes me to dig deeper, 
but not deeper than my hole will be, 
Humans are restricted, in some way certainly
Your body, mind and skin are prisons of yourself
So what are daily trials to freedom of spirit, 
Just a spit on the road.
Animals like ourselves deal with days and personal wishes, 
With who cheated who, and who said what and who saw who, 
An animal at least focuses on survival, 
and what are we, half animals half demons, one quarter angels; 
So many lessons but I will never learn enough to live
forever, 
We are still paying for the sins of yesterday. 

Silences

Those silences.
Those cracks in the even flow of conversation. 
They split paragraphs, then sentences, 
Finally opening up between the words themselves.
At first we step all over them, 
Trying to hide the gaps, 
To hide our discomfort.
The only thing that fits in them
Is embarrassment.
We fear their growth.
But later...
Later we become comfortable, 
Not embarrassed.
We stealthily, and little by little, 
Allow the cracks to widen, 
To deepen.
Our conversation becomes a means
To accentuate them.
They are larger, 
Bigger then the words, the sentences, 
The paragraphs.
We become fascinated
As they grow, 
Transfixed by their emptiness.
They begin to echo.
The widening gulf becomes
The thing we have in common, 
The glue
Holding us together.
They have become one great chasm
Bounded by mutters, and whispers, 
And under-breath speaking.
Eventually, there is only the
Long silence, 
Only the great yawn, 
Gaping, unspanable, breathlessly open
Beneath us.
Through the rest of our lives
We are falling, 
Falling in silence, 
Like a lost echo gone unheard.
And yet, 
We walk around as if nothing
Had happened, 
While, unspeakably, nothing did.
Nothing happened. 

Dream Space

In the dream space lies a source
that flows to keep the dreamers moist, 
till the dry words of remorse
wake us, crying to be voiced, 
and the languid lines that coursed
through the details of the dream
blur and waking, we are forced
from the bed to leave the stream. 
Pleasures that the dream endorsed
now to censors are subject
and with pleasures once outsourced
we no longer may connect.

Autumn

So soft the summer; so hard the winter; 
so sweet the spring.
So strange the autumn, with odd things walking
which, croaking, sing.
And in its dead, still, dark, foreshadowed
tunnel dead things crawl.
A voice heard shyly, a call of autumn, 
brings them out now.
A moon's soft pulsing, in silence draws them
from their furrow.
And soon will come a darkness quick-descending over all.
They travel swiftly, make no noise, 
except a rustling sound
Of books opened in shadow-
in dust and cobwebs bound.
They run the circuses of fear, 
the carnivals of death; 
And breathe the popcorn taste of flesh, 
a coldly autumn breath.
Not vampires, nor morbid ghouls
nor fiends from some dark hole; 
Not parasites of blood, but rather tabled at the soul.
The table-scraps, the leftovers, 
the refuse of humanity; 
They feed upon its doubts and worries-
play upon its vanity.
They perch atop the gaping skull, 
their talons in its sockets, 
And chew the bones of brittle men, 
and lock the minds in lockets.
Their yellow, baleful eyes blink once, are gleaming; 
The talons release the well-worn skull, 
Then deep inside we feel a soft pull, 
And we run through the moonlit desert, screaming. 

Enough is enough

We are the guardians of this world 
yet we try to destroy it with greed. 
We chop down rain forests here and there 
not caring about the wildlife who share it. 
We fish certain species to distinction 
not thinking what we do.
Mother Nature then says enough is enough 
and throws us a few warnings 
to take heed and mend our ways. 
They come in the shape of violent storms, 
floods, earthquakes and such 
to show us she means business.
Still we ignore her warnings 
carrying on as if nothing has happened. 
We just carry on poisoning 
everything greed wants to control 
until one day and it will come 
we will have nothing at all.
Poisoned atmosphere not fit to breathe, 
poisoned waters not fit to drink 
and cancerous radioactive sore no one can heal. 
By that, time it will be too late 
greed will have secured that 
and this world will die along with us.

Broken mirror

The girl in the broken mirror
With eyes so full of tears
Will pick up the peices
That he's left behind.
She vows she'll be stronger, 
And not fall for another man.
But the girl in the broken mirror, 
Just needs to understand.
Love can be so perfect at the time
And then can dwittle away.
But a new love will come around
And whisk you away.
Dear girl in the broken mirror, 
With her eyes so full of tears
She needs to know, 
She shouldn't give up, 
There's a better man out there
Just waiting for her
Patiently waiting
To show a love so true.
To the Broken mirror
That needs to go, 
And to the tears
That need to dry, 
And to the girl 
That needs to fly.

Somewhere..!

As we walk life’s journey 
that is not without its tears, 
sometimes we find a small pocket 
of happiness that carries us through 
until the next one comes along. 
Sometimes we find turmoil 
of which there is little escape from. 
Our direction gets mixed signals there. 
The next day 
we are back on the road again. 
The one leading us
to our final destination 
in the future somewhere. 
We all need sadness 
to show us how good 
happiness can really be. 
We all need heartaches in love 
so we can recognize 
the real thing called love 
when it comes along.

Your child your pride

True
Our children are our pride
They give you
Immense pleasure
With their glowing innocence
And
Such newly discovered expressions
Which you have not experienced earlier
Their growth
Is always showering on you
A sense of satisfaction
Their intelligence
Is always rated by you
To be much higher than
What you possesed in your childhood
Their observations are
Special to you
And you waste not time
In executing corrective or preventive actions
To satisfy their needs
And you do that all with great pleasure
There comes a gap
As they mature
And you are relieved to see
A new childhood again
When your grandchild comes in your life
You see a still higher degree
Of innocence
And intelligence in this generation
You feel your grandchild
Has much greater potential
To achieve than
Your own child, leave alone
The very your own self
As you have gained
Some more maturity
Than what you had when you reared your child
And have crossed
Hurdles with deeper troubles
Your association with the new arrival
Gives you more pleasure
Than what you had with your child
Not only that
With a renewed syllabus 
In the study of life
Your grandchild looks a professor to you
Had you seen a teacher in your child
Your grandchild guides you
Through a research project 
On this subject
And confers on you a doctorate
Or rejects 
Based on your self searching skills
And learning abilities
Your child your pride
Your grandchild your guide

Success

Let your tears come down from your face
And run down through your face
All the way to the earth .. now tell me!!What is the journey to success? 
Success is not gained by defeat
Success does not occur over night
Success can emerge at any age
Success is working to full potential
Success is courage
Success is lending a hand 
Success is not listening to negativity
Success is being positive
Success is living your life instead of the life of others
Success is being proud
Success is overcoming obstacles
Success is striving
Success is listening to your heart
Most of all success is accepting
What you have accomplished
