One by one the seeds were sown –
That was how crops were grown.
Drop by drop the flood was formed –
That was how crops were gone.
Block by block the bricks were laid –
That was how walls were made.
Bomb by bomb the land was shelled –
That was how walls were felled.
Bit by bit the rubbers were torn –
That was how people were born.
Year by year the time went by –
That was how people aged and die.
Cent by cent the businesses grew –
That was how names were debuted.
Part by part the rumors were passed –
That was how names were last.
Day by day nothing had happened –
That was how our world thrived.
Side by side our brethren were threatened –
That was how our world dived.

Bye Bye...

Help Available...
You are troubled and lost. Your sense of direction is camouflaged by your problems, and you wish to talk about it but just couldn’t seem to find anyone who is willing to listen to you. Some of them who listened to you provided immature solutions to your troubles, which are of little help and even aggravating the situation at times.

Friendship...
Is like the sun setting in the sky.
Sooner or later one will find,
Brightness will once again say hi.
One’s reluctance to congregate,
Is like the clouds drifting in the sky.
It frustrates the camaraderie formed by fate,
By blocking all contact at a blink of an eye.
Luckily the clouds though thick have rifts,
And is one of the things that will never change.
But as aims adjusts and focus shifts,
The sunlight that shines through is not the same.
So one constantly has the chance,
To meet a changed lost friend out there.
Even if it is just a glance,
It reignites the friendship both have once shared.

Is Being Kiasu Always Rewarding? Think Again...
Puddles of sweat merge on the floor.
Competition is fierce amongst us;
Everyone wants to be the first.
Finally the bus arrives at the bay;
Passengers rush up without delay.
Shoving and squeezing they try their best;
Once they sit down they feel very blessed.
They smirk at the others who yet to board;
Savoring the air-con and seat they hog.
The world is unfair though it is round;
In numerous ways that are too profound.
Somehow suddenly the bus breaks down,
Making the “winners” look like clowns.
The driver ran away to seek for help,
Leaving the unfortunate to sit and yelp.
Help arrives promptly but the bus is dead;
Those that think they are early are late.
After a while another bus came by;
As usual passengers rush up like they fly.
The previous “winners” are jumping like mad,
For they are trapped and not very glad.
When they ultimately manage to alight,
The bus is full and ready to take flight,
Much to the new winners’ delight.
