Art is long
life is short
l'll not wait-
I'll go for both

how intensely they burn
their fires I'll stoke
I'm the blacksmith
I'll not miss a single stroke!

* poem mentally written when I was awake at 7.30 a.m. just now

First type:

They revel in their past glories and successes.
They practically insist on being heard and hope they will be admired.
They are loud, very loud and insensitive.
They repulse others.

Second Type:

They say only a few words-- and in neutral terms-
moving away from themselves as they don't wish
to attract any attention to themselves.
Such people are self-sufficient unlike the first type.
They are likely to be amiable and pleasant people.

Between the two, the first seem to predominate--
such is the weakness of human nature

There can't be true freedom
when some fear in your life still does loom

Strength  I don't seek
  resilience is what I prefer
  the latter has greater
staying power than the former

The mind decides
on a move
but the heart
might not approve

What you've lifted
down you can easily put
Dr Peter Lim Jun 2
'If yourself
you've conquered
what's left
to be feared?
