One eye turned blind
Why isn't there a song for every soldier,
A poem for every struggle hero?
Why is it the one's we see on TV
Read about on newspaper
And idolize
The one's we all have doubts in?
Tell me what's real,
Tell me what's fake
When the media paints -em as Heroes and Saints
Pushing their agenda and dictated by third parties gain
Is our history really written by cowards?
We being fed straight forward lies
And still we believe
Deep inside we all know we are being played
And we still being played
Yet we still toe the...

AS LIFE'S SLIPSTREAM SLIPS AWAY (2020, another spontaneously spawned, Hot SPA poem.)
be as thou
once then
and now
still want
to be
see as thou
both there
back when
and here again
still long
to see
yourself
this world
become
and be
for peace
beyond all peace
we know
beyond all things
until then
shall only
still yet ever be
just another
elusive dream
one which seems
much too
often
to somehow always
so mysteriously
only slip away
like fleeting time
like life
and
being
how quickly...

Sailing into Destiny
To weave ambitious dreams and then turn them into reality
That is the ultimate goal which many of us have in mind
Trying to live this earthly life to the best of our ability
Understanding our purpose when it’s being redefined
We should listen to the philosophers, thinkers and wisemen
Who ponder and dwell on important matters of the heart
So that the modern poet voices will go beyond the horizon
And reach future generations who are not too far apart
We must ready our golden sails and study accurate maps
With a moral compass, knowing...

Controlling thoughts
Our mind is our
stronghold, from where all issues flow. Our thoughts
determine our actions.
They are fueled
and controlled by
our mind, which is the powerhouse of our thoughts.
Even the actions we
thought were irrational and thoughtless, come from passive storage in abundance
in our minds.
Never let anyone control your thoughts. Theirs
may come from a
much darker place than yours

Reinvent and Repeat
Is this a dance or a war
As we learn our steps in uniform
What is it we are fighting for
What mystery this future has in store
I'm caught in between
Spending years waiting for moments of beauty
Dead and alive
The investment of routine
I'm going somewhere in circles
Home in perpetual remaking
We don't breathe to settle
We're just passing time between reasons to survive
Every breath saving for life on layaway
Reinvent and repeat
Pastimes in waiting
If I'm only living in the future

Wishes of a simple man
A small house on the country side
With the view facing the setting sun
A couple of kids and a beautiful wife
A garden that's just big enough...
Wishes of a simple man
But this world of skyscrapers and asphalts
Moves way too fast
We all running,
But don't know where we going
Chasing the next big thing
No one seems to stop and listen
The cries of the world that's dying
We all chasing after something
No one satisfied with nothing
When are we going to settle?
Appreciate how far we've come
And...

Just be you
Be you because the world wants originality
Be that person that’s unique and different from everyone else
Never strive for normalcy because being normal is boring
Be that person that sets you apart from everyone else
Be the reason why people would gravitate towards you
Above all, just be yourself because being you, shows everyone the real you
Fakers come and go but originality stays forever
You can fake everything, but sooner or later everything will fall apart around you
All those lies, scams and deceit will never get you far in life
It’s why you...

Architect John Smith
Of his thousands of architectural drawings,
he, architect John Smith, knew very well,
most were below average,
few barely mediocre
and, here and there a rare, accidental one, bordering
- even if never quite achieving -
some degree of originality...
Of his mediocrity, he was well aware.
With his mediocrity, he had come to terms
long, long time ago.
As long as he didn't venture
outside this ever expanding circle of peers
- of peers complimenting each other's mediocrity -
his survival in the field would never be...

As I was
Once upon a time
I had my life together
I had a rough plan
But anything I thought about
I was able to do
My life wasn't the best but you know what it was on the way to being the best.
I had finally found myself in a space where being me was benefitting.
I may not have had it all but know what I had everything I needed. I had love, happiness and achievement. Hard work was actually paying off.
Yet I didn't realise that my life was starting to crack. I didn't see what was happening until it was too late.

Not Now Winter
winter
has not
packed away
all of its
cold things,
but the warm
weather
is encroaching
slowly
and surely,
some flowers
are beginning
to peek
out from under
their confined
winter
property,
the soft breeze
carrying
hope,
soon
the bright
flowers
will be
standing
in the sun
warming
themselves,
watching
and being
watched
in return.
