People Issues

Why do we quarrel

You might wonder!

When we got all the tools

For effective communication?

People issues.

Complex technologies

Sophisticated gadgets

Advanced education

Yet we cannot agree

People issues.

Selfish interests

Personal choices

Subjective opinions

Lack of empathy

People issues.

Tribal politics

Ethnic dogma

Culture restrictions

Religious diversity

People issues.

Doubt

In sacred verses penned of ancient lore,

Doubt whispers softly, knocking at the door.

Within the Bible's pages, faith entwined,

A dance between belief and questioning mind.

Moses' doubts upon the mountain's peak,

Asking, seeking, the truth to seek.

Abraham, with questioned sacrifice,

A test of faith, doubt's shadowed device.

In garden's hush, where Adam stood,

Doubt crept in like shadows in the wood.

Eve pondered, uncertain of the fruit,A moment where belief and skepticism took root.

Thomas, too, with skeptical gaze,

Doubted till his hands met the risen's praise.

The Bible's tapestry, woven in doubt's thread,

A human journey, where uncertainty is bred.

Yet faith persists, a resilient flame,

In doubt's embrace, it finds its aim.

For in questioning, we seek the light,

The truth revealed, in doubt's silent night.

Whispers in the Urban wind

In shadows of the dusk, a whisper takes flight,

On the wings of the wind, dancing in the night.

A clandestine tale, in hushed tones it's spun,

A modern sonnet beneath the setting sun.

Soft breezes carry secrets, elusive and sly,

Through city streets and open sky.

Urban echoes mingle with nature is's soft hymn,

A whispered melody, contemporary and trim.

In the hum of the city, where stories unfold,

The wind carries narratives, both young and old.

Concrete and leaves, a juxtaposed blend,

A modern ballad, in the whispering wind.

A symphony of murmurs, harmonizing unseen,

Amongst skyscrapers tall and meadows serene.

The wind, a courier of dreams untold,

In contemporary whispers, stories unfold.

The Vanity of Life

The vanity of life, a fleeting thing,

A shadow in the wind, a song without a ring.

A show that’s soon forgotten, a tale that’s quickly told,

A glimpse of what could be, a story that grows old.

We chase after fame, and riches untold,

We seek to be remembered, in tales that never grow old.

But in the end, what is left behind,

Is a legacy of emptiness, a life that was not kind.

The vanity of life, a chase after the wind,

A search for the meaning, of a purpose we cannot find.

A quest for the answers, a thirst for the truth,

A longing for something, that seems just out of reach, uncouth.

We build up our empires, and seek to be known,

We pour out our hearts, and we suffer alone.

But all that we leave, is emptiness behind,

A void in the world, a life that was not kind.

So let us embrace, the truth that we find,

A life that is full, and a heart that is kind.

For the vanity of life, is just a fleeting thing,

A shadow in the wind, a song without a ring

Pushing On

Interests drive human actions

Choices affect our emotions

We are in constant negotiations

With our internal reflections

Our choices are who we are today

A constant reminder of everyday

It doesn't matter what others say

You got to be ready not to decay

Truth is, life is for the living

Blessed are those who're giving

Not out of plenty but just empathizing 

To help a soul to keep on pushing

Pushing on even when things are tough

Choosing to ignore the gloom with a laugh

Because in this life nothing is enough

We must remain positive and tough

Hustlers Charade

In the realm of politics, a tale unfolds,

Of a 'hustler' who dazzled, with bold promises.

He wore a slick smile, spoke with eloquent grace,

Claiming he'd uplift the lowly in life's race.

Oh, the hustler's creed, so persuasive and grand,

He swore to fight for every woman and man.

With catchy slogans and flashy campaign signs,

He won over hearts, like a cunning feline.

But once in power, the truth was unveiled,

His promises shattered, his integrity failed.

The hustler's creed, a facade, a charade,

A comical twist, in this political parade.

He raised taxes high, burdening the poor,

And cut back on programs, leaving them unsure.

The lowly souls he pledged to defend,

Are now left neglected, their hopes at an end.

Oh, the hustler's creed, now a source of laughter,

As he dines in opulence, indulging in the finer,

Leaving the lowly to struggle and fight,

Their dreams crushed, their futures held tight.

I hope the people, will see through his cunning disguise,

His comical antics, his deceitful lies.

And rise together, in a united might,

To expose the hustler, who thrives on their plight.

No longer fooled by his promises hollow,

I hope they'll seek justice, their resilience they'd follow.

In this world of politics and power,

The hustler's creed should meet its final hour.

Let this be a lesson, both comical and true,

To never trust blindly, to see the lies through.

For in the realm of hustlers and their deceit,

The lowly shall rise, and justice they'll meet.

Taming Anger

Anger, a tempest in my heart, 

A storm that rages, tearing me apart. 

A fire that burns, consuming all in its path, 

A force that controls, with an iron grasp.

 

It starts as a spark, a flicker of heat, 

A feeling that rises, hard to defeat. 

It grows and grows, until it can't be ignored, 

And then it explodes, like a volcano once more.

 

Anger, a force that can't be tamed, 

A beast that's unleashed, a monster unchained. 

It clouds my judgment, and warps my mind, 

It makes me lash out, and leave hurt behind.

 

But in the aftermath, when the storm has passed, 

I see the damage done, the hurt that will last. 

And then I realize, with a sense of shame, 

That my anger, in the end, was all in vain.

 

I've learned to temper, this tempest within, 

To find peace and calm, and let love begin. 

For anger may be a powerful force indeed, 

But in the end, it's love that we truly need.
