Your Higher Self

One saw it as an illusion,
another saw it as Darwin's evolution.

i taste the bitter and sweet fruits of the tree,
while He sits and calmly observes me.

What to do if this world is an illusion,
In this vast chaos and confusion;
We have lost track of some clear motivation.

Thou have seen clay moulded into figures,
By artistic hands of sculptures.
When I ask thou what it is,
You tell me it's a shape defined by man.
Yet failing to recognize, it is ultimately clay moulded by your hand!

you could be an animal, a bird or a human being,
Depending on the artistic eye of sculptors foreseeing.

What you fail to realise, if you open your eyes,
you are not what you seem to be.
Darwin's evolution or His Dream, an illusion.

Why Ask Why?

Searching for a meaning when there's none to be found. Struggling to survive till you're six feet under the ground. There's more to life than figuring out what's in death.

Us

Many people feel weak and small, as they are just one in over 7 billion. Many people feel useless because the universe is so much bigger than we are, and we are as if a grain of sand.

We Are Such Things...

What stuff are creatures such as we made of If creatures such as we compose dreams. Those fickle, glittering beacons T'wards which we flit like moths between the stars, And which crumble at our touch.

Light

Ever felt like the light is too bright, a happiness so filling you beg for it to stop. An inception of evils' demise that saddens your heart, A world peace that tears your heart.

Bliss

When money is no object, Humanity's a crime The life I'm living now is just eating up my time, For everything's a question, There is no space to ask, Is there any point in looking to the past.

Who's In Control?

Is our life mapped out from birth Do we have a purpose on this home we call earth Is it played out by a series of events, are we better off not knowing it's contents.

He Walks Amongst Us

He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us. That's what the words say, But not what they mean. Is this a stranger in town, Someone so isolated that even his friends do not recognise him.
