Christmas, Giving and Changing

One of the great occurrences in humanity

The birth of Christ is one that we could say

For it shows God’s love and generosity

A gift that we should cherish everyday

On Christmas, as we go out and celebrate

Reflect that it’s because of the Christ’s birth

It is the season for joyful cheers

And not the time for solitude and tears

As we go out on Christmas morn

Flaunting the new garbs that we put on

Forget not that the Christ was born

Simple and not with precious clothes on

Christmas is the time for giving

And also the time for changing

Change from the unpleasant to better

Should be a habit and not just for a year

You may think that it would be unusual

Or a change could be so special

But bear in mind that with the Christ’s coming

God performed a very unusual thing

Starting the Day

I wake up in the morning with a sigh

A glimpse at the gray clouds covering the sky

Starting the day, I am not happy.

Switch on the TV and watch the morning news

A terror group is on the loose

Corruptions here and there is being exposed

Starting the day, I am not happy

Commemorating the past tragedy

A year had passed still seems no remedy

People are whining and keep on begging

Not for a decent but just for a simple living

Watching… my teardrops start falling

Starting the day, I am not happy

I took a taxi and hurried for work

But it seems faster if I’ll just walk

In the avenue that I everyday pass

Vehicles are at still wasting its’ gas

My day has started, and I’m not happy

But then, who cares of what I feel

What is the significance of what I tell?

Will it change the world if I am sad?

We can walk… we can run and even have fun

We can cry and vent out the whines

We can criticize or we can sympathize

But then, if we will just realize

Nothing will change or be revolutionized

Unless the changes will start from ourselves

Then, we’ll get the happiness that we deserve

And I or you will start the day… we will be happy

If I can

If I can fly,

I will take you to the highest peak

So you would see what’s on the ground

For I know you heard the whimpers

But you never seek where it’s coming from

If I can slip back,

I will take you to a place in the past

Where people lived in harmony

For I know that peace is what you seek

But never tried to put it into effect

If I can walk on the water,

I will carry you on my shoulder

We’ll watch the dwindling species of fish

For I know that you want it to flourish

But your commerce could be in menace

If I can time travel,   

I will take you with me to the future

To build a cleaner and greener environment

For I know that you loved nature

But you only watch it being ruined

If I can . . . only if I can

But all is just a whisper, or

Perhaps a song of a dreamer

For like you I’m a hopeless crusader

A fantasist with so much fear
