Who steals a crown should humbly bear the blame
If his rule defames his people’s name.
They have a right to frown
At a king whose reign does not deserve acclaim,
And rise to seize their crown.

Hiroshima was the harvest of death that forced
A dead-end on the Holocaust,
Proving that even “evil” can serve the “good” end
Of those who prove to be its friend?

Time may seem to wait for the coy lady
Even as it hastens on, or is gone already.

They halve their worries that know what they want

Where I Was Born
Battles have been won though lost
And lost though seemingly won;
And the faith of the cross is but a Phoenix
That rose from the ashes of a cold crucifixion.

Where I Was Born
When the plaudits start to ape a grumble,
And our footings start to drag and stumble,
And glory turns to face a younger age,
It’s time to take a bow and leave the stage.

The heart and the mind
are strangers entwined,
for what the heart percieves
the mind is unable to conceive.

The vulture eats the dead and dies in blame.

Sometimes it is wiser to board the 'tolerance ship'
for it sails smoothly throughout the seas of life.

Nature has endowed the human with A HEART to detect the sensibility of
feelings and A WEIRD MIND to contemplate ....so be A REAL HUMAN BEING.

Get to know me, not just by words of others, try to be a companion or anyone, be somebody in my life, hope you won't regret. Make me laugh, too. That is a measure of one's character. My world is the same world we are all in.

I do consider my engaged poetry as a personal mission, a duty towards a society which evolves into a system of control of consciences: one even becomes a suspect for not thinking correctly !
