Some people are blessed by God.
They have a guardian angel,
Genie from the magic lamp,
Or they were just born under a lucky star.
Most of their wishes eventually come true,
And they overcome obstacles on their path,
Without regrets, defeats
Or any visible or hidden scar.

Why are those people the chosen ones?
Why are they better than others?
Is it meant to be that way, random choice,
Or perfect time of birth and date?
Some say that every man shapes his life,
With right or wrong decisions.
Some believe there is inevitable fate.

The criteria for happiness are different,
Some just want love,
True and reliable friends,
Or material things and big fortune.
Greed knows no boundaries,
Sometimes so little is required for fortune.
  
We often hear: be good , be honest,
Someone is watching from above,
And you will get what you deserve,
A joy, inner peace and restful sleep.
But nowadays money is the measure of happiness,
Cruel people take it all,
Sense of guilt and justice are buried somewhere deep.

Life is full of ups and downs,
But everyone should have some perfect period in their life,
At least just once.
But history and experience taught us,
That true happiness is only for the chosen ones.

Truth and lie
Nemanja Pavlovic Apr 2015
People always look for answers and causes,
In love, in happiness,
In hard times, in fear.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter,
If the answer is the truth or lie,
Just something they wish to hear.

The truth can be very painful.
In those moments,
Some chooses to tell a lie,
Because when we love someone,
We don’t want to see them cry.

But truth is a better choice,
Because lie doesn’t last long.
No matter how difficult it is,
We have to accept everything,
And be positive and strong.

Some people lie because they are bad,
Ambitious people lie,
To achieve an important gold.
They don’t think about consequences,
Just about their benefits,
Of every lie that has been told.

Honesty is rare nowadays,
Most think that,
It is people's big flaw,
They say "Don't put all your cards on the table,
Some things should remain secrets,
Others don't need to know".

People are always in dilemma,
What to say, what to do.
Is it good to share our every thought?
With the lie comes sense of guilt,
The truth brings inner peace,
But it can take away a lot.

Big decisions
Nemanja Pavlovic Aug 2013
What decisions are big in life,
A school, profession, marriage,
Or every change that we make?
How do we know what choice is right,
Will it be a hit or a big mistake?

Small man’s decisions are important to him,
But some decisions can change many people's fate.
Some can bring world peace,
But some can bring war and enormous hate.

Every choice has its good sides,
But sometimes only one bad can cost a lot.
Some decisions can ruin our lives,
Some can take us to a right spot.

No one can predict a future,
Sometimes you must take a risk,
When time is up and you can’t wait any longer.
Sometimes mistakes are good for us,
We can learn a lot from them,
And they make us stronger.

If something did not work out as we planned,
Optimists say,
Who knows why this is a good.
Hope dies last,
And when it is hard,
We have to be in a right mood.

When you make important decisions,
You need to ask your close people for an advice,
But your life is only your,
And you must roll the dice.

You have to rule with your life,
Listen other's advice,
But your word is the last.
Big decisions, big responsibility,
Only true friends wish you the best.

Music
Nemanja Pavlovic Jun 2013
Music is amazing art,
It shows how great people can be.
Music can break all boundaries,
And even for a moment make us completely free.

Music brings people together,
Excited crowd at music events,
And nothing else matters,
Only musicians and their instruments

Good artists are loved and respected,
In every part of the world and in every nation.
People enjoy, dance and find themselves,
In the songs created in moments of great inspiration.

People listen diferent kinds of music,
With diferent instruments and singer's voices.
Every music has its good sides,
I think that there aren't the bad choices.

Classical music for serious people.
Rock for people who like the sounds of the guitars.
House for those who like to party.
"Dark" people have their heavy metal stars.

Creativity is a blessing from God,
Inspiration is its biggest trigger.
Practice makes us perfect,
With experience we become bigger and bigger.

Life of artists is exciting and vibrant,
But it can be double-edged sword.
That pressure can be some kind of curse,
Or God's greatest reword.

Life after death
Nemanja Pavlovic Jun 2013
Does everything stop,
With last look and last breath?
Or sky is waiting for us,
And there is life after death.

When our heart stops beating,
I hope this is not the end.
Maybe there is a long shiny stairs,
Which leads us to some mysterious land.
Maybe that land has its great ruler.
Can it be Devil or God?
Maybe that place is a beautifull,
Or wasteland covered in mud.

If someone was an evil person,
And he couldn't stand a sound of the church bell.
Will he have a good afterlife,
Or devil will open the gates of hell.
Is hell an awful, scary place,
Fire and danger at every spot?
Or it is land full of temptation,
But one mistake can cost a lot.

Is there a peaceful heaven,
For people who were honest and nice?
Will God embrace its believers,
And show them a path to paradise?
Heaven should be a happy place,
Amazing land, where everything is straight.
Everyone ˝ lives˝ full life,
There is not  jealousy and hate.

No one knows what happens after death,
We can only wonder and guess.
Is death same as game over,
Or our spirit is endless?

The war
Nemanja Pavlovic Jun 2013
What does it mean?
What is it behind this short word?
Why does it sound so evil?
Why does it have power to change the world?

Does anybody know the answer,
Or we all live in a dark.
Can small man change something,
Or he can only hope for ˝Noah's Ark˝.

Who starts and plans the war?
Are those people cruel or insane?
War doesn’t bring us any good,
Only enormous misery and pain.

Some people want to rule,
They don’t stop no matter what happens.
The end justifies the means,
And they are able to use all destructive weapons.

War doesn’t have to be destructive,
It can be only in man’s head.
Sometimes only one word can harm,
Or force us to do something bad.

When someone does something bad to us,
We first want to strike back.
Is it good to start ˝the war˝ ?
Maybe good old days will never come back.

Every war ends with peace,
But how long will it last?
Some people can forget bad things,
But some are slaves to their past.

War can change our future.
And it’s a big part of our history.
We only know some written facts,
But the real true is eternal mystery.

New beginning
Nemanja Pavlovic Jun 2013
I hope you will find a love,
So big, so deep, so pure.
Your previous loves have made you weak,
And the new one should be your cure.
You are an incredible woman,
And you deserve someone like you,
But you made some very bad choices,
Unfortunately this is sad but true.
Life is unpredictable,
Some believe that there is a fate,
But I think that everyone has a choice,
You only need to keep the faith.
Love is a strange thing,
Wakes the best and the worst in man.
No matter how strong you are,
You can be hurt again and again.
I know that you haven’t changed,
But you feel some kind of fear.
You have to move on with your life,
And these are the words you need to hear.
You have to forget all bad things,
And remove scars from your heart.
Leave the past behind you,
It’s time for fresh new start.

Scary dream
Nemanja Pavlovic Jun 2013
One night I woke up suddenly,
Because I had a scary dream.
It was a real nightmare,
A horror full of human scream.

Dozens of terrifying creatures,
Frightened people, a real mess.
A danger on every corner,
And everything seemed hopeless.

At one point one creature saw me,
I was scared and all alone.
I started to run as fast as I could,
And tried to escape from the danger zone.

The creature was very big,
Dark colored, with scary eyes.
A fear was getting bigger and bigger,
I was covered with sweat as cold as ice.

I didn’t look behind me,
I just wanted to run away,
But creature was faster then me,
I had to find some other way.

I turned into a dark, little street,
And tried to find some place to hide.  
I didn’t know how far the creature was,
I hoped it would go to some other side.

I hid in some old wooden house,
Saw the stairs and climbed up,
But the creature angrily broke the door,
And a loud sound woke me up.  

Next thing which I remember,
I was lying in bad in my flat,
But this dream seemed so real,
I woke up all covered with sweat.

— The End —
