The Greatest Tragedy of All

It would be the greatest tragedy of all ...to have read a thousand books and never understood a thing,
...to have spoken a thousand words but yourself had never listened to anything,
...to have never fought a fight or ever fell in love,
...to have never taken a side or had a difference of opinion,
...if we had spoken when we should have kept silent and had kept quiet when we should have told ,
...if we had given all to those who didn't care, and took away things from those who wanted nothing from us,
...if we had lived the life we had never imagined, and died without even daring to do something different,
...to live a life of fear that I shall die one day, and never lived a second in happiness and only thought about oneself..
...It would be the greatest tragedy of all...
To have never lived a life as it  was worth living.

Broken & Undone

A stab in the back,
What is done, can't be undone,
A straw breaks the spine,
An axe in the foot, and what is strewn
behind are severed remains,

Once broken, remains broken,
You are never the same again and 'They' are never the same again,
Life, Love, Friendship,
Once broken, can never be the same again.

Rough Cut Life

It is a tad bit sudden, for the others cruel,

To be discovered  that you were no fool,

So, silently opens the blooming flower,

Preceding a fragrance, form the dredges to the high towers.

From the jagged black rock shines the sparkling stone,

If one had not seen, none would have known,

Out from the darkness of others where it appears, it beams,

To the jewelers eye it catches ,it gleams,

To have risen up separated, from being blamed for ways of others,

Why jealous do others feel ? And envy others feel? You can try and appeal,

Are we to know when to rise and fall?

Who to support and whom to stall?

But ,

Support we must ,stall we must,

Rise we must and fall we must,

And such we fall that we turn to ash, to turn to dust,

yet,

 Then the time goes, wind blows, and tumbling white water flows,

The dust rises in throes, scattering and compressing,

 Funneling, caressing and shaping,

Turning into statues, monuments ,and tall buildings,

Tall ,strong ,hard ,set in platinum and gold,

Magnificent, unique, superb and splendid,

Articulate and candid,

A rough cut stone ,a rough cut life.

A Happy Life Song

Hi friends! We all want to be happy and healthy  in order that we are able to withstand the adversities in life. And thus so, lets’ laugh a little. When I was growing up I watched a movie called Mary Poppins in which a gentlemen loves to laugh,starts floating in air and makes every other person who visit him also laugh and float, and  feeling sad he comes down to earth. ‘I love to laugh ha ha ha’ goes  the song. Its just great to be a little silly in life. Laugh at really impossible situations & problems you will see the brighter side. Of course it doesn’t mean that if someone falls down or gets killed in a terrorist attack you laugh like a maniac! But smile at difficulties, and maybe a solution will come to you. Laughing by itself crates the necessary hormones equal to an intensive work out and instantly makes you feel invigorated. Not only do you feel elated but you spread happiness all around. So if the heart is happy then so shall the rest of the body be, all beating fast like the drums in a metal band. Why is it that when we hear a fast beat our mood lifts? And thus so you shall too be able to lift yourself to the beat of your heart and sing a song of happiness to everyone.

Sing a song of happiness,

Sing a song of love,

Sing when you cry or feel sad,

And at times when everything is getting on your nerves,

Sing when you feel the joy,

Sing as life goes by,

Sing cause you want to be merry,

Sing and things will not be too scary,

Sing and you shall have no worry,

Sing and you will see life clearly,

Sing a happy life song.

One & Same

My dear friends, my readers. How have you been? A whole year has gone and a new one has started. Well, life goes on, people come into this world, and some leave, oh, so suddenly. The year ends with  celebration and also starts with it. There have been many who have had success and many innocents who have lost lives, and continue to do so. Why this conflict, why such pain we cause for each other? Does not our heart beat the same, the breath we take is the same, our mind is composed of the same emotions? We ALL feel happy ,sad, and frightened. We ALL lose hope, gain faith and conviction? We are in this together and together we must encourage change for the better. We need to think what a world are we leaving for our children?

Thus , today I post a poem, pondering about our existence and how we may be doing different things and live in different parts of the world, but we are ALL fundamentally the same. Many have done research, written books and poetry to ultimately come to the conclusion that we all are the same!

So, as I brew myself lotsa lovely coffee, and have some serious thoughts.Do enjoy this poem of mine.

One & Same

Ten fingers and ten toes,

Two eyes ,two ears,

And one nose.

In all the poetry and in all the prose,

Who are we?

No one knows?

No one Know!

Over oceans,

Over mountains,

Inside earth,

And outer space,

Whose are these hands?

These animals?

These clothes?

These wings?

Who is this face?

Our own story we try to trace,

Did we come form monkeys, earth or out of space?

Dig this place, dig that place!

 

Talk and talk, debate, debate!

 

Who are we?

Who were we?

Use psychology,

History,

Geography,

Sociology,

Economics and

Technology,

Who are we? Who are we?

A thousands of years of existence ,

And still we ask ,who are we?

 

Isn’t it very plain to see?

Two arms,

Two feet,

One heart that beats,

One brain,

And thirty two white teeth!

All same,

All same!

For Heavens sake!

And in your Gods name!

We are all , all same!

In all wars,

In all chains,

In all busses,

In all trains,

We are one,

We are same,

 

So,

Let us throw away, our selfish claims!

 

Raise hands,

And proudly proclaim, to me, you and He( or she)

We are ONE,

We are the SAME.
