The Metaphor of Life

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,

I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,

I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,

And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

Sad Reality About Love

'Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else.'

And a friend asked me, why only 'sometimes'?

I answered back with another sad reality, "Just because you love that person too much, you're learning how to tolerate and even to be fool, as you are sometimes accepting to share for the love with the right one just to be spared for the right thing."

Friendship in Love

It is important that whoever becomes your partner,
above all, should also be your good friend.
Let's admit, there comes a point that romance will be gone,
but the friendship of the couple still remains.

Overwork

How much more money do you need to make you happy?

Movie Catch

Catch No. 1. Be careful with what you will say.
Because sometimes, people say things
that they don't really mean.
Just because they feel something
at a particular moment.

Catch No. 2. I agree to the fact, to show someone you care
you have not to harass that person with love and affection.

Catch No. 3. 'It's not enough that you accept me for what I am.
You also have to accept me for what I'm not.'

Honesty

But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

Equality: A Matter of Mindset

When you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through.
