Poetry
has a lot to say
about morality:
after all
it's about life
and humanity

if it's just
about rhyme
and rhythm
its words
would be empty

poetry
might not change
the world
but its presence
should bear testimony
to our human dignity

The Night and you

The night is friendly
if you've lived the day kindly

Dr Peter Lim Jun 16

The day

The day has tiny hidden delights
but you have to open your heart and eyes

Luxury-an ugly word

'Luxury'-
an ugly word
the wantonness
of the princely
and the aristocrat-

I was born poor
few things I could afford
if ever given luxury
I'll accept not

the little I have
is more than adequate
nothing else by me
need be sought

In your company

I will stay
a longer while
if you continue
to smile

The pun

Enjoy-
not
end joy!

Consistency

No one can always
be consistent
we are each
dictated by circumstance
