Little ants, little creatures with little nature
Who believed in their wade?
Built great perimeter walls

I see a purple patch

Patience was ridiculed
They defined it in lateral inversion
Now, they call it active not passive
They call it concentrated strength

I see a purple patch

Life ****** but it ****** the *****
Now, I see bleak turn to bright
I see bubble without a burst

Finally it all made sense….Athan

I am humble does not mean a broken winged bird that can’t fly
I am low in heart does not mean at a low ebb

When my cup is full, I see a perfect man
But no one is perfect in life
So I keep to increase the volume of my cup
It helps me to open new spaces of understanding
To have more juice of life
So that my cup never runs dry, I detest emptiness

When my slate is all written
Where else can I write when there’s more to life

So my humility means:
I want more spaces to learn
I want to see a difference in myself
And notice I have changed
I want more juice to drink..Athan!

What's the meaning of life?
Seeds are planted but never germinate
Crops and weeds,crops remain dormant
Never dominate

What's the meaning of life?
Life ***** but we couldn't **** the *****
Wind blows but couldn't catch it
We keep having a mirage

What's the meaning of life?
A bird in a golden cage
A broken winged bird
Never a flying bird

I am in pursuit of meaning. -Athan
