BEST ADVICE IS FREE

Like the best things in life are free,
the really best advices come free.
Those types you do not ask for
but you get anyway for sure.

WASTE OF TIME

Waste time looking for happiness in another
and you end up more disappointed than ever.
Maybe joy you’ll get from those around now
is the best you’ll get from those yet to know.

YOU WILL WAKE UP OLD

Once you had it all or think you can.
You were young, strong with a plan.
Then one morning you wake up older,
with strong limbs and back no longer.

WAR OF THE WORLDS

‘Read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice’

If aliens had won the War of the Worlds,
they would’ve run over our households,
lord over all our planet’s other neighbors,
living in all our very likeness and colours.

WHEN WE WERE

Once we were children playing with toys,
then became men but still remain as boys.
We look large, with bigger roles and talk,
yet our egos grew, turning play into work.

NOTHING IS AS FREE AS TIME

As if any of us can control time,
we act like we could all the time.
Keeping it handy, save and set it,
yet none predates it or outlives it.

FEELING OUR WAY

For the good ones, we spill a tear.
Whenever evil men die, we cheer
and when good ones die, we fear.
Maybe we’re just feeling our way,
sensing a pathway, with our say.

LOVE BUT SYMPATHIZE

Love is commonest feeling abused
but sympathy most popularly used.
Words can never express as much,
even if at their best they say such.

SAME RULES

What is more difficult than who to trust?
Maybe the close second is who we love.
Find courage to rediscover the child lost,
same blind faith still rules here as above.

LIFE GOES BY TOO QUICK

Life goes by too quick, before we know,
and at the end of it all, nothing to show.
So don’t sweat the small stuff, be merry
and enjoy every moment, don’t be sorry.

NOTHING TO FIND

If you’re looking for something
and yet always finding nothing,
maybe there is actually nothing,
and you so want to find anything.

WAR FOLLOWS

Where ever people go, war follows.
However long, the throat swallows.
Long as men have needs or wants,
stooges will follow leaders’ chants.

BRIDESMAIDS IN WHITE

Hypocrisy is not a scarce art form,
it abounds wherever you are from.
Not every friend loves your home;
lots will cheer far less when alone.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

It could be greener on the other side,
but you never really tell from this side.
You can expect, hope, deduce or pray,
but plan because it may go either way.

MOUNTAINS WERE DRAGONS

Mountains were dragons that died
and like the earth, they were stilled.
To hold the sky up their forms rose,
like ancient pillars in gigantic pose.

CHOOSE OR FOLLOW

Ever wondered if you are in control;
of all what you see, hear, eat or troll?
With the world a village in our hand,
do we choose or follow just any band?

FAVOUR AND HARD WORK

Favour waters and nourishes from birth
like the garden plant grown up to a tree.
Hard work perseveres to a great height,
like pigmy goats high as they wish to be.

WE ARE HEDGEHOGS

Do Leopards need add another spot
or Tiger new stripe it may have lost?
Lion’s fearless presence is its mane,
so with pride Hedgehog is our name.

MY CONSCIENCE AND I

Most times it’s Yes when I think No.
Often enough, I do not even know.
But then I do have the conscience;
a friend on either side of the fence.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF WEBS

Webs are slimy watery traps
that invites, entice and claps.
Calls in the curious or hungry,
only to feed a spider its prey.

DEVIL OR THE BLUE SEA

Surely you’ve heard the saying,
‘Either the Devil or the blue sea?’
Well daily choices are same thing;
get back up or give up everything.

THE PROGRESS OF REGRETS

Everything goes back and change,
in our minds we revisit all we lost.
Proud in the progress we manage,
our regrets will hunt us the most.

NEVER QUITE ENOUGH

Why is plenty never quite enough?
Why do the rich folks want more?
Maybe if the dead have a thought
they would want more as before,
only to again die off with nought.

FORCES OF FAITH

Faith allows forces of the universe,
to help me to align and transverse.
Working makes all things happen,
as equally intensity makes certain.
Results aren’t always the desired,
but beats regrets not to have tried.

Inspired by @DrivesToTheSky

WANT IS WASTEFUL

People want more than they get,
every relief comes with its regret.
Then waste it and still want more,
and their merriment makes it sore.

NOTHING IS EASY FREE

Who told you it is going to be easy?
Nothing in a life is completely easy.
Even freedom has never been free.
You breath in, so even air isn’t free.

AFTER A WAR

After a war nothing pleases,
peace comes in little pieces;
like food eaten pass in feces.
It is chewed and well beaten,
only maggot food will remain.

THE GATES OF HELL

From the depth of hateful bowels
comes forth destructive old tales.
The gates of Hell gets flung open
when madness does roam often.

FACING THE PROBLEM

When you started thinking
problem is everybody else,
maybe problem is looking
right in the mirror you face.

ALWAYS RIGHT

The time is always right, to do right;
because what’s right is always right.
While the way of wickedness grinds,
all that of righteousness ever binds.

TAKE THE LEAP

Do not live your life afraid;
take the leap, like it is said.
Having faith in yourselves,
making proud of ourselves.

SHORT MEMORIES

People have very short memories,
which is so incredible on its own.
Same folks repeat same tragedies,
claiming innocence for guilt borne.

AROUND OTHERS

We wrap our lives around others,
and when they untie, it bothers.
The world would seem smaller
and life a whole more lonelier.

YOUR DUTY

It’s actually your duty to be useful,
your duty to take care of yourself.
Your responsibility to be careful,
for everybody else and yourself.

THE MOON IS FIGHTING

The moon is fighting but does not win.
It is not that it is small for this reason,
or that the Sun is its rival on a mission?
It is how earth sees things in the open.

FRAILTY, THY NAME IS WOMAN

Patience is mainly for women,
pride are horses sired for men.
Ego the mannerisms of a man;
“Frailty, thy name is woman.”

IT IS COMPLICATED

Picture by Mikelgan

We make life more complicated,
more than it is, which isn’t fated.
When we’re older we realize this;
sadly rather late for joyous ease.

NOT THE SKY

It is the Earth moving, not the sky.
Every single moment will pass by,
only returns to repeat like it could.
But you pass away, not the world.

Picture by Anduin Rexhearth

DAYS ARE NUMBERED

Everyone will have those dreams
that probably aren’t just dreams,
They come true for they’re fated,
for surely our days are numbered.

THE RIGHTS AND THE WRONGS

When I’m wrong, I can also be right,
bias in opinion can blur one’s sight.
When I’m right, I can create wrongs,
reasoning grows off faith it belongs.

A POLISHED GEM

You saw what you could see often,
enjoyed all frequently and in open.
Learned properly all that you could,
taught all the best way you should.
Built joyful memories to the brim;
you are indeed the polished gem.

THIS IS SUCH A SHOCK!!

I will greatly miss your kind and encouraging words!!

I’m glad in my own small way I had cheered you, entertained you & shared bits of warm moments of reflections with you.

Thank you for always being there.

Rest in perfect peace Mummy!!

A THOUGHT IN THE HEAD

Just to think about it for a moment
lingers on like brain waves on rent.
Taking form but not actually there,
yet it’s there not fully or ever clear.

RUNNING NO WHERE

Running away from the ways of hell,
being chased by temptations to tell.
The world’s ways keeps you so busy,
to know or find destination isn’t easy.

THE CONSPIRACIST

If you run away once, you’ve a reason.
You quit once again, you’ve a decision.
You repeat in once more, it’s a mission.
When you do again, you’re the reason.

CORNER STORE

Every stone is somewhat a reject,
castaway to make its own effect.
Each one is finding its own place,
with tiny luck, to leave own trace.

ARTISTS

Art isn’t as personal as it is emotional
and artist’s painful effort is intentional.
Their talent gives so easily but teases
and artists loneliest when art pleases.

WHEN THE HORSE MAN COMES

What goes through a person’s mind
when knowing they’re about to die?
They chase what they can still find,
or lament the had and lost anyway?

WILD NATURE

He that lives by the sword to feed
roams the wilderness of his breed.
Time waits for his days of frailties,
to join many of nature’s casualties.

BEYOND THE DAY

Everyday goes and will return again,
with similar good memories as pain.
Where days go is not beyond reach,
it’s somewhere that ends all search.

FOURTH TRIMESTER

First was all good, making life from nought.
Secondly we grew, before it became rough.
Thirdly we wobbled towards splitting tough.
Fourth is a final bond, lasting forever though.
