The Media

I stare at the television news....
Assaulted by violence
Stunned by the inhumanity of a Godless society.
I listen to the radio....
Embarrassed by ads that tout promiscuous pleasures
Outraged by the thinly disguised, decadent discourses of the shock jocks.
I read the newspapers and magazines....
Cuckolded by corporate America
A loser in the games politicians play
Violated, shamed, cheated, and betrayed I try to turn it all off
But like a bitter pill, the distasteful images linger
Nor can I go along with eyes shut and ears muffled
Living (or not) in a padded room of my own making
I cannot function without information
Though my senses are wounded by the brutality of the media.
I crave thoughts that might ease my distress....
Like a mother’s soft whispers to her crying baby
Like the beauty that shines from faces that know love.
I don’t want the reality that the media rapes me with
I want the reality that God promises in his Word! 
 You believe everything you’re told;
None of your thoughts are actually your own.
Your imagination has become decayed,
as the beast leaves you in disarray.
Good friend, I hate to break it to you,
but you’ve become a simple tomfool.
You mindlessly follow the pack
with others who don’t have your back. 
Media leads us to see beyond utopia
but its not more than illusion and hysteria
their sentences are nothing more than lies
but why do we keep buying their lines?
is it because we keep running away from the truth and losing our belief ?
or we just want to find the comfort in pain to make us feel relieved

Just be kind

I don’t want to Cry
What may come my Way?
I shall not sway
Face difficulties Anyway
Fight with all the Might
Make the life nice and Bright
Problems will keep coming
Shall solve them
Without Failing
I’ll keep my Promise
With all the Sweetness
Without any Bitterness

What is politics?

I do not know
What is politics?
To me it seems to be
Poly tricks
Played by people
Involved in multiple
Gimmicks
Called as leaders
Telling lies
Fooling people
Is their passion
Their sole goal
Is Power
However it may come
By hook or by crook
Africans or Europeans
Situation is the same

Within the confines of the mind

There's a war being waged within the heart of man.
Adam's first sin against God's master plan.
The aged old classic of good versus evil,

This Duality I fight within my soul.

But what decides what is Angel’s Ballad,

 And what is Devil’s Song?

One man's right is another man's wrong!!
The silent war wages dusk to dawn,

All participate whether the queen or the pawn!.

The battle is real and you have to take a side,

On your decision does the result ride.
There are those true saints who follow the Master's plan,
Then those who belong to the Satan’s clan!
There are fence sitters, who straddle both side,

To the highest bidder will they abide!

How does this duality survive within the confines of the mind?

Surely, one must win and the other will lose!
Outcome will be settled by,

 What we feed our mind,

And whom we choose to Amuse! 

If we nurture for good,
then evil grows hungry and cold,

If we work in a
little evil it will take root and little by little,

Good will lose the hold.
The complexities of the duality are great indeed; we all must
feed one or the other.
So my question can only be, what's on your table and who
are you having for dinner.

Everyone expects respect

Love gives comfort; respect gives courage.
Love sedates one and respect inspires.
Love lulls you and respect awakes you.
You can’t demand love but command respect.
Love with respect or respect with love
Is what people, be high or low, expect
From those outside their family circle.
There only exist human relations. 

Everyone expects respect
No matter who they are
The only way to gain it
Is to start treating everyone
As a friend, a brother, a sister
As part of our extended family
No matter what colour or creed they are
Only then you will start to get
The respect you so dearly crave 

Once I read those wise words to a great writer..
"If we can not respect another, How can we expect them to respect us
If we can not respect someone’s beliefs, How can we expect them to respect ours
If we can not respect another’s race, How can we expect that race to respect us
If we can not respect others, How can we expect respect in return"
"" David H.""

Its funny

Its funny how hello is always accompanied with goodbye
Its funny how remembering good memories can make you cry
Its funny how forever never seems to really last
Its funny how much you'd lose if you forgot your past
Its funny how friends can just leave you when you're down
Its funny how when you need someone there never around
Its funny how people can change and think there so much better
Its funny how many lies can be packed into one love letter
Its funny how people can forgive even tho they cant forget
Its funny how one night can contain of so much regret
Its funny how crazy and ironic life turns out to be
but the funniest part of all .. Is that none of that seems funny to me

Alone

Sometimes I just sit in the dark, by myself in my room.
Staring at those fish in the aquarium, so full of gloom.
It helps me think..
Whether that's good or bad, looking around at all the light blue, Sometimes happy and other times sad.
I don't want to talk... I want to be in a place I consider mine.
I don't want to walk... If you ask me what's wrong I'll answer, 
'I'm fine.'
I wish everyone wouldn't worry, There's nothing wrong.
Sometimes things get blurry, when I listen to those old songs.
If I want to sit there ... Then let me be.
I don't always need you in my mind.
I don't let many see the real mine.
You may think it's 'unhealthy'
That it's not good
That I just sit here quietly.
I know you're just doing what a good person would.
But sometimes it's okay to sit, to not have many phone calls,
But only for a little bit. It's okay for me to be alone.

Alas!

A dove sitting today .. On the termite eaten branch of peace, looks sometime towards the garden 'n sometime towards her curtailed wings.
The big fish must not think the small, foodstuff of her own fate; Tears are amazed in eyes of the deer 'n paws of the lions are blood stained.
Scattered are the bodies enshrouded, flown away kites and crows
Scratching them all, they are sitting In the arenas of mosques and temples, 'n some have perched on walls of churches.
Nature of the veracious animals never changes, though they move in the civilized aprons, yet a wild smell emits out of their bodies.
Under the flag of peace and friendship Blood flows from all sides on the globe.

In the gloom

You held me close, I held you near,
When we were together there was no fear,
I was no longer scared of what had been,
I was no longer scared of what I'd seen,
I'd never felt this way before,
You numbed the pain, stopped me being sore,
But then you changed you broke my heart
You'd lied to me from the start,
You left me there in a darkness room,
On my own, in the gloom,
You promised me more than one night,
what happened, did you lost the sign ?

A story not yet fully told.

A story not yet fully told. A future that was never foretold
One walks threw life without a dream, Their hopes are never what they seem
Some say the stars are our guidance, And their future creates the balance
But for those who have no aspirations, Their tedious life lengthens
Every step, every choice, Created by an isolated voice
This voice slowly eats away your soul, Till everything is under its control
These thoughts, opinions, ideas, impressions, judgments .. weigh us down, like a burden on our shoulders.
Protecting the truth within.
The truth is like fire, unreachable with bear hands,
The truth is like grass, grows with time,
The truth is like wood, can be shredded apart
but the truth of the truth is that no one can handle the truth.

it's so sad

it's so sad when you try and fail
it's so sad when you miss and no one care
it's so sad when you talk and no one understand
it's so sad when you love and can't till
it's so sad when you love and get hurt
it's so sad to dream and cant reach
it's so sad to live like no body

我不能选择那最好的。 是那最好的选择我。

-->

夏天的飞鸟，到我的窗前唱歌，又飞去了
秋天的黄叶，它们没有什么可唱，只叹息一声，飞落在那里。
世界上的一队小小的漂泊者呀，请留下你们的足印在我的文字里。
世界对着它的爱人，把它浩翰的面具揭下了。
它变小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻。　　
是大地的泪点，使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。
无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱，她摇摇头笑着飞开了。
如果你因失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。
跳舞着的流水呀，在你途中的泥沙，要求你的歌声，
你的流动呢。
你肯挟瘸足的泥沙而俱下么　
她的热切的脸，如夜雨似的，搅扰着我的梦魂。　　
有一次，我们梦见大家都是不相识的。
我们醒了，却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。　　
忧思在我的心里平静下去，正如暮色降临在寂静的山林中。
有些看不见的手，如懒懒的微（风思）的，正在我的心上奏着潺（氵爰）的乐声。
"海水呀，你说的是什么"　
"是永恒的疑问。"
"天空呀，你回答的话是什么"
"是永恒的沉默。"
静静地听，我的心呀，听那世界的低语，这是它对你求爱的表示呀。创造的神秘，有如夜间的黑暗－－是伟大的。而知识的幻影却不过如晨间之雾。　
不要因为峭壁是高的，便让你的爱情坐在峭壁上。 　　
我今晨坐在窗前，世界如一个路人似的，停留了一会，向我点点头又走过去了。　
这些微（风思），是树叶的簌簌之声呀；它们在我的心里欢悦地微语着。你看不见你自己，你所看见的只是你的影子。
神呀，我的那些愿望真是愚傻呀，它们杂在你的歌声中喧叫着呢。
让我只是静听着吧。
我不能选择那最好的。　
是那最好的选择我。

My Master.

你看不见你自己，你所看见的只是你的影子。

神呀，我的那些愿望真是愚傻呀，它们杂在你的歌声中喧叫着呢。
让我只是静听着吧。

我不能选择那最好的。

是那最好的选择我。
 

What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.My wishes are fools, they shout across thy song, my master.
Let me but listen.
I cannot choose the best.
The best chooses me.

Good morn

As the dawn breaks
Spreading its light,
Sparkling dew droplets,
Chirping of the birds,
Chime from the temple
Creating divine melody in the air,
Colourful blossoms smiling,
Cool serene breeze blowing,
Make my heart feel like
Spreading my wings of dreams
And grab new opportunities,
To make me experience my existence
At the time day winds up.
My heart want to say good morning
but we haven't any new morn.

Imprisoned spirit

I’ve got to laugh to keep from crying, live to keep from dying, walk to keep from crawling, stand to keep from falling ..
I’ve got to be strong to keep from swaying, leave to keep from staying, 'n need to watch to change direction, strive ..  to reach a little bit perfection
I’ve got to achieve to keep from losing, think to avoid confusion,
I’ve got to Pray to keep from sinning, 'n keep moving when I'm winning
I’ve got to see so not to be blind, and respect the men of mankind
I’ve got to be cautious as I read man but alter not from the plan
I’ve got to forgive to be forgiven and remember why I'm living
I must be willing to let all things go for 
These are the conditions of a imprisoned spirit behind my soul.

It's time to say what you've come here to say
and time to do what you must
It's time to ask the questions of faith
that will shake the foundation of trust.
It's time to look deep inside yourself
not outside of every one else.
To reach out to others with a gentle hand
and give back to someone, some help.
It's time to expect the answers to come
to the prayers we''ve been praying for years
to open our eyes to the heavens above
and release a fountain of tears
to walk through life searching
the depths of our mind.
all though we walk through life seeing
we still walk through it blind.

last forever.

To many love is a feeling
A strange warmth that cuddles the heart
To others love is a unity
For which each member is a part
To some love is an emotion
Expressed daily in all we do
To few love is but only a game
That is not often played by two
To me love is a time a place and a reason to live
A special strength to keep giving
When there is no more left to give
Yes love is a treasure
Worth more than silver and gold
Love is a dream turned reality
That keeps you warm when life turns so cold
Love is a firm hand to point direction
When the whole world just seems so lost
We but only need to remember
Nothing created to last forever.

last night

The Best thing in life is life itself.
How we live it determines our role.
The Good the bad and the indifferent.
Even a sure thing Becomes I don't know.
The Hopes the Dreams The nightmares
They're all important parts of the game.
The only rule is there are no rules.
And every one of us is to blame.
So a bit of advice I give to you.
On your journey through the looking glass,
Leave the future to the future.
And the Past to the Past
Believe in yourself. Believe in God.
And make an effort to do it right
For if you lived it right, one life is enough.
For tomorrow is promised to no one.
And this just may be you're last night.

Judgments

I've made many a mistake; I'll probably make more, Perfection I'm afraid doesn't exist, Learning from those errors should be to the fore, If you fail don't give in but persist.
You can always pull yourself back from the brink, All it takes is the mind 'n the will, With effort you can do much more than you think, Belief in yourself you can instill.
Never 'n ever judge others without looking at yourself, Arrogance can 'n will destroy, Conceit is a poison you should leave on the shelf, Hypocrisy you should never deploy.
Those who lay claim to having never erred, Have memories that are very selective, A polygraph test would soon have them snared, As would a good private detective.
Don't base opinions on what you think you know?
It's on fact your thoughts should be based, There are errors made we can 'n must forego, Never make judgments in haste.
Are you that perfect that you can condemn another?
So innocent you can the first stone, Look in the mirror does your ignorance smother, The fact is it could be one of your own.
Don't always judge others on past mistakes, them didn't live there no more, Forgiveness is what we need to endow, A true friend a good person never forsakes, try looking at what they are now

Safrout .. I will miss you till the day I die.

We were together as one for many years, Looked on as partners in crime, When troubled you could quell my fears, You have made my life sublime.
I'll miss your friendship and the fun, You have given me so much pleasure, Really when all is said and done, We loved each other in equal measure.
My friend and soul mate both combined, You made my life worthwhile, Our lives have always been entwined, You have always made me smile.
I know the reason you had to go, But my grief I can't contain, It's my moral duty to let you know, Memories of you will forever remain.
People are saying I must be mad, You were only a pot licking dog, The fact you're leaving makes me sad, As you head off into the fog.
All I ask now is to be left alone, I need some time to grieve, Together as one we have grown, But one day we all have to leave.
I have to go now please don't bark, You will only make me cry, On my soul you've left your mark, I will miss you till the day I die.
