Are they People or Snakes?

We have figured it out wrong.
Bustling on the roads, sipping our coffees,
Smoking cigarettes, partying on weekends,
Spending our money on things that don't matter,
Like the new shoes, or Maybe the new Dress,
The pretty girl with a fake accent is Busy,
busy being anxious about her fashion choices,
because well, she got it all figured wrong.
Yet, she thinks she knows it all,
while hidden insecurities,
she believes her fake personality is top-notch.

So many people in meaningless gibberish
Wishing to stay updated with the world facts,
to become so opinionated that they can interact
about everything that exists,
But what are these opinions for by-the-way,
If the people you talk to, don't wish to talk to you anyway?

And then, come those who wish to align
with the world
Fight for their society, or the well-being,
Such that they are willing to take laws into their own hands,
Use their provoking skills to thrash someone in a  mob,
who did maybe a wrong.
This man squeals "what shall police do in this?
Let's break the arms and make it the news."

Better are those sire, Who don't Speak Much,
Who say it when they know the crowd will hear,
Who talk what needs to be said, instead of,
boasting about the good dimes they have.

You'll find them in the NGOs, or maybe teaching a class of 10,
Some you'll find besides the river's filth, proving their environmental node,
Making agendas and
encouraging youth to contribute for the clean.

Look outside the window, if you will,
you will find so many faces covered with lies,
passing snarky comments to everyone side by side,
bringing others down by saying something witty,
So much that you wouldn't wish to speak,
to all those who are arrogant, and stupid,
So Stupid -- for they are unaware how and where
To use their true potential.

In the Lies

There are a thousand ways we imagine things could conspire to be. Yet when the outcome turns to be the one we didn't want, we begin to break down.  We begin to hate the chances taken. We begin to hate the efforts that we put in. We regret.  Sometimes, it is difficult to say that the fate of our lives is in our hands. That we are the master of our world. Maybe we are not, because we try to do our bests yet we can't achieve. What is the purpose then? We ask ourselves, our friends, maybe the higher power. If things aren't meant to roll out the way we expect, what is the point of working on them?  However, there is a way we manage to survive. It's in the lies that we tell others, maybe ourselves too. The truth about lies is, if we say them enough, we start to believe them  ---  "Does it still hurt?" "No"      And unless someone looks into our eyes, we begin to realize all the lies that we have been telling ourselves and once again shred into pieces. F...

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.
