STANDING TALL

I am made of gold, raw in values
The fiery furnace smith and rebrand.

I cry to laugh; torn into pieces to make a whole
My scars; my prides of pains.

I am buried, forgotten into the dungeons
Died to the old, yet born anew.

Taking the roots down the soil of perseverance
I spring forth when all hope is lost.

I sink that I may learn to swim
I grow through what I go through.

I die that I may live till eons
Tell me why I won't embrace you, challenges!

ECHOES OF THE VOICE IN WILDERNESS

He speaks yet in a total silence
Rooting in deep conveyance of unspoken words;
Too eager to voice but with sealed lips
He mutters his pains and agonies only to himself.

Since divine ordains order his sequences
Suddenly the seals are broken for free utterances
With eagerness to voice, he sets his pace
Speaking the bitter truth none is ready to listen.

Tell Herod that John will speak louder than ever
With a voice of voracious appetite that laments in the wilderness of atrocities
Swords may succeed to silence him, but
The echoes of his voice will outlive thrones of the unjust swords.

BAIT FOR THE PLAYERS

Talk not much to them about tomorrow
They will never listen to your beautiful ideas
And if you insist on doing so, it will fall on deaf ears
No written books; nor spoken truthful words are capable of what deceits can do

Take few round the world of leisures
They will forget all their quality times, and
Take some on tours for a temporary taste of goodies
They will forget their aged aspirations and clamours in a minute

Poverty is an identity of mindset that clouds wishes
Powerful in action as a tool for manipulation
It numbs its victims' sense of reasoning
To decorate blacks in white apparels

They become shadows of themselves
When a taste of goodies becomes the bait
The cards are recycled in usage and
They are back to factory setting at the end of each game

Tell the rich they are ruthless players, but
Tell the poor they are freedom fighters;
Their bait is a taste of goodies
That makes deceits the master keys.

WHEN A MAN IS DEPRESSED AND BROKEN

He goes hidden where the noise is silent than graveyard
Spending his public time in maximum privacy
And enjoys his happiest solitude in deepened sorrows from hidden pains;
As he watches his greatest fears becoming his inevitable realities

He goes deeper into rhetoric journey where silence speaks louder than voluminous words
Using his brooding to convey his inner bleeding
And encodes his excruciating pains with fake smiling face and expressions;
As he tries to cover up for his world falling apart

He becomes weaker in the hands of incessant challenges
Causing vulnerability to haunt his ever strong mind
And falls into temptations to losing his tempers;
As he keeps nagging beyond control at the slightest provocation

He abandons his favourites and ignores his precious cravings
Losing interest in all he holds in high esteem
And forgoes his long term goals to searching his inner peace;
As he battles tirelessly alone from within

He employs lies and becomes succinct in parables
Replying all questions with an irony; "I am fine"
And cares less for the world that burns in him;
As he tries not to bother his loved ones with his heavier burdens

He is dying from within but still standing tall
Rendering helps when he is in dire need of all
And chooses to hide all under a mighty disguise;
As he gradually loses strength but leaves no traces

In the world of a depressed and broken man
Words are fewer and silence is a voluminous expression
He is forced to pitifully spit it out
But only few understand his language to interprete his unspoken words.

THE LAW HAS NO COLOUR

The law has no colour; but the offenders do
They are black and negro; always evil with no benefit of doubt
Subjected to inferiority; suppressed by marginalization
And their lives are taken away by deceits of their oppressors

The law has no colour; but the interpreters do
They are white and wise; always right with no benefit of doubt
Lording over all; lauded by themselves
And their lives are preserved by the secrete of their exploitations

The law has no colour; but its subjects do
They are the preys beneath its feet; always wrong to seek true freedom
Breaching one to bear the wrath for all; silenced by great trepidations
And their lives are precious like servants to their masters; must be kept for no other purpose

The law has no colour; but the courts do
They are the voice of the voiceless; always defending the status quo
Keeping the innocent behind the bars; patted by the criminals in the cities
And the society smiles; because orderliness reigns like Animal Farm.

THE CLOCK TICKS AND TOCKS

It ticks and tocks, rotating time and turn
When it ticks for others, celebrate them
It will soon tick your own time and turn
But yet, be fully engaged tackling yours
Rather than to envy them

It ticks and tocks, giving time and season
When it ticks for you, look down not on others
It will soon tick their own time and season
But yet, be of help as they tackle theirs
Rather than to dish out oppressive orders.

It ticks and tocks, rotating entry and departure
When it ticks for others to depart, be wise to think
It will soon tick your own departure
But yet, be tackling your heart and acts
Rather than to corrupt what you think.

It ticks and tocks, for every creature
Then to some, now to many and later to others
It will soon tick yours, may be quickened future
But yet, be gauging your stewardship
Rather than being engrossed with wants while it catches up with others.

AS YOU LIVE TO LEAVE

Life is a journey; you alight unaware
All you get along the way; are all nothing
They vanish like a vapour in a second
And you leave with nothing just as you come

As you live; prepare to leave
As you prepare to leave; try to live
Live to leave an indelible mark
In the hearts of who cross your path in this journey

Once you leave; your space will not be empty
Someone else better will fill the vacuum
And you will be forgotten in a moment of reality
But the life you once lived will become a memory
And the indelible mark you once made will immortalise your existence;
In the hearts of those who are the beneficiaries

Live humbly to leave gently;
That the noise of your absence
May make more than a loudest silence

Live compassionately to leave happily;
That the silence of your absence
May make more than a loudest noise

Once, you live; live an impactful life
Once you leave, your space will not be vacant too long
But your traces of a beautiful life should be;
Too long to be measured;
Too kind not to be missed;
Too indelible to be erased; and
Too incomparable to be replaced
In the hearts of its beneficiaries

Are you truly living, and
Prepared to leave
With an indelible mark to immortalise your existence, or
You are caught inbetween?

THE TRANSIENCE OF LIFE

Life is an ephemeral journey
And we are individually a passersby
Taking our steps one after the other;
Slowly like termites into their hills,
But faster like cheetahs after their preys

We wake up early in the morning
With the sunup flashing through our windows
While conversing our temporary wants and needs;
Within the blink of an eye,
The dusk suddenly comes like a thunder,
With the rays of a rainbow shining directly to conquer our insatiability

Oh we waste no time, we believe!
But our life slowly melts like an ice in the sun
Quickly showing its fragility
And this impermanence draws us back to the dust.

Life is a treasure we chase like a butterfly;
We lose it right before we own it
Its tick-tack sounds silently more than the clock
And we all pass by one after the other;
Slowly like termites into their hills,
But faster like cheetahs after their preys.

A SEED OF SEDUCTION

Dangling like a jingle bell on the rope of lust,
I lose my thoughts and sense of purity.
In the twilights of her dazzling advances,
Come in powers of irresistibility that conquer my mind.

Truly beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
Her quintessence of beauty lures me into heavens of corrupt mind.

Oh Bathsheba of temptation, why have you chosen my sight to display;
And David of lust, why have you chosen my mind as your dwelling place!
I lose it all to ecstasies;
When the seed of your seduction grows in my fertile mind.

MYSTERY OF THE MASTER KEY

Many pray to be rich;
Some pray to be healthy.
Some pray to be wealthy;
Which many never reach.

Some believe health is wealth;
So they fervently pray for sound health.
Many believe money solves everything;
So they go after it and are ready to do anything.

Many think it is by their might;
So they trust in their due diligence.
Some believe the supernatural controls the physical;
So they solely focus on their faith.

Many restrict themselves to mono-cropping in their practical;
So they keep working harder to have desired results.
Some rather passionately practice mix-cropping very well;
Yet most continue to dangle like a jingle bell.

Not to the weak; nor to the strong
Not to the fool; nor to the wise
Not to the lazy; nor to the diligent
Not to the scholar; nor to the illiterate
But to the chosen; and to the graced.

Neither pains pay the gains
Nor philosophies decode the codes
Though stories behind the glory tell the tales of gains
Where weird fame fades away the shame to face;
Same still mysteriously confuses philosophical theories
And grammatical juggernauts are incapable to explain the mysteries
THIS MYSTERIOUS RACE NEEDS GRACE.

MORE HOPE; LESS ANXIETY

If there is a need to walk
There are legs to lift;
Look more than you leap
See more than you speak

If there are people to pray
There is a God to give answers;
Pray more than you painfully grumble
Wait more than you easily get weary

If there is a life to live
There is a future to face and a present to focus on;
Respect the past more than you regret it
Be hopeful for the future more than you're anxious about it

BE A FRIEND; NOT A FIEND

When pains become excruciating and tears uncontrollably cascades my cheeks
So much that I can't fathom how to end the rolling
Cry with me; don't cry for me.

When the times are tough and life seems unfair
So much that I become weary and don't know how to go about it
Stand by me; don't stand with me.

When the pains are gone and sadness dispels like the cloud
So much that peace of mind is restored and there is no cause for sorrow
Laugh with me; don't laugh at me.
