They say that humans are compassionate and loving creatures, with a wide variety of emotions. Yet they also say humans are the most feared and horrible creatures on this planet. And all of these things were yet said by humans. What most people don’t say or tend to notice is that humans are full of oxymorons, hypocrisys, and failure. That may sound negative but it isn’t. If humans weren’t flawed then we wouldn’t be humans right? I believe those two most common perceptions of humans come from the two most commonly perceived personality types present in humans. You have the super happy-go-lucky type who believes the world is perfect and pure and no one wants to hurt each other. And then you have the extremely hateful cynical type. The people who have been hurt and stepped on and abused and feel they have every right to hate the world. But I think these two extremes are quite unfair to the majority of the population that is in the middle grey area. The reality is that the world is a mystery and treats every human differently with different experiences, just as all humans are different from each other. It’s quite beautiful, that grey area. You never really know what’s going to happen in the middle and its exciting.

A Poem: The quest for Beauty*


Attention is not something to look for
When your life defines beauty, you'd be sought for
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
But beauty goes beyond what your face holds


Throwing things down before men
In hypocrisys cloth to get attention from men
Beauty is more than your hips
A beautiful lady has a stiff upper lip


Looking seductively,
Talking in lusts shoes, and walking cowardly
All in a bid to get him make a comment
Beauty on the outside is only for a moment


Fighting to be a cynosure of all eyes
It's a foolish job sometimes, for the little minded in size
Beauty is more than what you think
Time would come, and all these would sink


I opine that Beauty lies in God
If He rules your heart with loves rod
His beauty makes you not to be myopic
I speak the truth and am not cynic


I advise that, in the quest for Beauty
Our attitude, should be our duty
To ensure that our beauty speaks from within
True beauty indeed, comes from within.

A Poem: Priceless*

Good character maybe bought
Through hypocrisys temporary market when sought
Yet one thing is priceless
True love is sizeless


Certificates expire
Men from work retire
But one thing remains and is not lifeless
True love is ageless


Buildings grow old
Animals get cold
Some of which seems useless
True love is faultless


Trees wither away
Men, sometimes may not pray
Even robots, sometimes are tired when wireless
True love is tireless

Money is visible
A beautiful sky scrapper is possible
Yet one invisible that is not fruitless
Is the love that is eyeless

Good health, money may buy
When life is no more, money will fly
Yet one thing remains forever priceless
True love indeed is priceless

A Poem: I need a Husband (A Duet)

I need a Husband
Who will not take me as his *** toy
But will understand me and I will not coy
Who knows I have dreams and ambitions and will not them, foil
©Daniels Pen ✍️ ✍️✍️

The dovish personage I covet for
Rugged and agile like an eagle
Let my hand in your hand
And journey round the planet, the coast of life with oneness

I need a Husband
Who hides nothing in hypocrisys band
Whose conscience is in God's hand
Whose heart really admires me in loves land
© Daniels Pen ™✍️✍️✍️

As the deer pants for the water
My heart longs for your lambent presence
Wise and brave like a faithful dog
Baptizing me in the river of fondness
© Divine Pen ™✍️✍️

I need a Husband
Not a centurion who commands his band
A man on whose lips the truth got a land
A man whose attitude meets God's demand
© Daniels Pen ™✍️✍️✍️
I need a Husband with a gold standard
Love personified with a decorated heart
Devoted like a mother, you'll be the moon
That illuminate our path I pledge my love to you.
