Belief

Belief can be a bridge or a river

that can connect us or take us apart

can be a rope that would keep us near

or a wall that keeps us at a distant

He reads and sings praises, while you kneel

he bows his head, while you calmly sits

his belief is not what you think and feel

your belief is not within his wits

You have a Pope, while he has a Dalai Lama

he has an Imam, while he has a Rabi

all are leaders and protector of a dogma

the prudent ones that can keep us nearby

Religion, faith, belief or whatever is the term

is one of the things that flares us and keeps us going

it binds certain people but not the world as a team

but oneness can be attained if people stop reproving

Respecting ones faith is all what necessitates

for we all have the freedom to choose our belief

Religion should not be the cause of conflicts

but an equalizer so we can have peace and relief

Facade

You and I in a place of bluntness

where everyone should be honest

You and I in a place of splendor

and everyone should be the best

I say that you can count on me

but my actions say otherwise

I say that I’ll be by your side

but deep inside I’m thinking twice

I dare not stand when I saw you plunged

for I thought it was a simple show 

And I dare not answered when you asked

for I want to keep the things I know

It is easy to say this and that

and promise but hard to shore up

It’s so nice to hear my kindness

but action is better than speak up

I’m a talker, a good persuader

they think that I’m a connoisseur

I say it loud, does it laggardly

they knew not I’m an amateur

The Power of Nature

At times,
there’s tranquility,
serenity
of the surroundings

Then comes the strong wind,
call it tornado
or a whirlwind.

Then comes the cyclone,
so strong,
call it hurricane
or a typhoon.

The nature cries,
pouring water from the sky,
permeating the earth,
becoming it less hard,
it flows down
with devastating strength
razing everything in path.

Then comes the heat
making the body sweat,
so intense.
Global warming
in experts term
caused by human
so unconcerned.
