I C

Open your eyes, see through the blinds,
Cause all we see right now is lies,
Open your eyes, see the truth behind,
The answers are the but hidden deep inside.

Open your eyes, and dont be surprised,
When you get to see the real face of life,
Open your eyes, my friend, open your eyes,
Learn to ask the questions: "how come?" and "why?"

Once you are seeing, release your mind,
Let it be free to soar to great heights,
Think and seek I assure you you'll find,
The truth, that demon, on the other side.

Me & You: The Lost Art of Conversation

Us:
There's a lot to me,
A lot I could say about myself;
But I find it better,
To learn about myself from you;
For when I look in the mirror
I see you
And when you look at me
You're looking in the mirror;
We are all different but the same,
And this is why I should prefer to listen not speak.

Me:
Ideally it should be like this
But alas! This is not the case
The narcissist in me
Cannot be kept shut
He grabs for every conversation
And dreads the art of empathy
His mouth heats up
While on the ears form cobwebs

You:
If two talk , who listens?
But then again
if two listen, who speaks?
Conversation should be give and take
For at least one to gain
So hear me you
Even if you may not agree
Then I'll listen to you
And you can share your view.

Don't judge, learn. Speak out, but still listen.

Potential

There is so much
You can do with your life

But its all useless
If you don't actually **do it!

The World We Live In

We live in a world where:
An illusion is called reality
And truth is a conspiracy;
Slavery is freedom
And all work is tough work;
Logic makes no sense
And school numbs the brain;
Our faith lies in those in power
And materialism is the religion;
We want to stand out
But keep trying to fit in;
Blood is not always family
And our tools are our best friends;
Friends are actually enemies
And love is equated to lust;
Peace is fought for
And humility is weakness;
Priorities come last
And talent is disability;
The wolves are the sheepdogs
And the Shepherd is ignored;
Our way of life leads to death
And medication vitiates;
Sanity is madness
And creativity is destroyed;
The past is disregarded
And the future seems bleak.

Centuries ago,
Shakespeare left us the question: To be or Not to be?
I guess it is clear which answer we chose.

Everyone's the same...Change that!

Magnanimity!
I'm fed up of conformity,
It's better to fall trying to walk
Than to never get on your feet!

Inspiration lasts a second,
Perspiration follows the next years,
But determination I reckon,
Is what will take you there.

A passion, fiery like ******'s,
Yet peaceful like Jesus,
Children of God that's what we are,
It's time to show the world who YOU are!
