Love should remain unspoken,
It's given and felt by the heart.
Expressed love in material form,
Will not follow when you depart.
Promises will be forgotten,
And passion will fade.
All the gifts you have bought,
Do not matter when you are dead.
Love transcends boundaries,
Beyond the physical realm.
If you truly love someone,
Their death won't overwhelm.
Love isn't possessive;
It's meant to be shared.
Fear is just a hindrance,
There's no need to be scared.
Love freely and boldly,
And expect nothing in return.
When faced with disapproval,
Respect your lover and learn.
Your goals are important,
And your lover should assist,
Not to dictate nor direct,
But provide you strength to persist.
Life, after all,
Is a chance for you to grow.
Love all that you can,
Before you reach six feet below.

Give Me Five...
A brand new year has come along,
Bringing with it the same old song.
A song of desperate hope and need,
To fill the lives that people lead.
Everyone wants better and want more,
Buying their desires from the shopping mall.
But I wonder why bother at all,
When all they need is a phone call.
A call to their loved ones to show they care,
For without them they would be nowhere.
People will mourn for you when you die,
But items will not even utter good-bye.
We buy items to improve our lives,
But people are why we stay alive.
Always remember this and you shall thrive,
And live strong and happy to give me five.
Bringing with it the same old song.
A song of desperate hope and need,
To fill the lives that people lead.
Everyone wants better and want more,
Buying their desires from the shopping mall.
But I wonder why bother at all,
When all they need is a phone call.
A call to their loved ones to show they care,
For without them they would be nowhere.
People will mourn for you when you die,
But items will not even utter good-bye.
We buy items to improve our lives,
But people are why we stay alive.
Always remember this and you shall thrive,
And live strong and happy to give me five.

Colorgenics Analysis...
It's amazing how Colorgenics can help verbalise whatever is going on inside oneself...
8th October 2008
You seem to be trying to sweep aside the situations (and maybe the people) that you feel are standing in your way. You are impulsive and apt to follow these impulses seeking to be involved in special or exciting happenings. In this way you hope to deaden the intensity of your conflicts, but your impulsive behaviour is leading you to take some unnecessary risks. Back down a little and remember 'more haste - less speed'.
The way things are at this time is causing you considerable stress and anxiety. Your friends and acquaintances consider you to be - to say the least - difficult and unapproachable. Now it is because of this that you need to find some sort of solution. By doing nothing and waiting for matters to right themselves will only make things worse, but don't rush into making hasty decisions - make haste slowly.
You are a rather inhibited sort of person. This could be the result of your upbringing or of your schooling, whatever. You are able to obtain satisfaction from various forms of physical or emotional activity but all in all you are inclined to be emotionally withdrawn. As a consequence of this you find it difficult to sustain any deep involvement.
You are experiencing considerable stress which is essentially the result of on going rejection and hostility. You are in the unpleasant position where offers of trust, affection and understanding are being withheld and you are being treaded with a degrading lack of consideration. You feel that you are being denied the appreciation that you deserve, which is essential to your well-being and self-esteem, but you have to face up to the situation because as matters stand at this time there is little that you can do about it - you feel that you are getting nowhere and the continuous struggle is a lonely one: all difficulties and no encouragement. Whatever you try to say or do is met with continuous hostility and no matter how much you protest you are consistently misunderstood. You need to escape from the situation but you are so perplexed that you cannot find the strength of mind to make the necessary decision.
You really would like to be completely uninhibited - to let your hair down - but you are held back by your sense of logic and rationalilty, since you realise that by simple stupidity you could lose everything - whatever that may be.
10th October 2008
Your mind is never at rest.You are continually striving to influence all those about you. You have some excellent ideas but you persist in trying to persuade others just how great your ideas really are. Maybe you are trying too hard. Take it easy - remember, 'Everything comes to those who wait'.
Being a somewhat gentle, emotional and sensitive person, you are at this time experiencing a considerable amount of tension. What you really need is someone who can be close to you and to listen to what you have to say.
There are times of everyone's life when 'compromise' is the name of the game and this is the time, so you have no alternative but to forgo some pleasures for the time being. You are capable of achieving satisfaction through physical activity.

Matters are not all that they would appear to be and you are critical of the existing conditions which you feel are confused and disorganised. You are therefore looking for a modus operendi which will simplify the situation so that you will be able to see the 'trees in the woods'.
20th October 2008
Enough is enough - and you feel that you've had enough for a while. You don't need any more battles. You just would like to be able to shout 'stop' and experience a little peace and calm - even if it be only for a little while. This doesn't mean that you need to cut yourself off from the rest of the world - it just means that you are seeking some respite, some physical or emotional relaxation that could release some of the the tension and possibly reduce the internal conflict.
Of late, everything seems to be going so slowly - far slower than you anticipated - and this is causing you much anxiety and frustration. It would appear that there is little you can do about the series of events that now seem to be taking place. In spite of the fact that you feel like 'giving up' - don't. Take a deep breath and start over again and you will find that eventually the expression 'All's well that ends well' will have an extra special meaning for you.
You feel that you should be appreciated far more than you are but no-one seems to care! You feel that you are receiving less than your share and the main problem is that there is no-one to whom you can turn to for sympathy and understanding. The inner stress that you are experiencing makes you quick to take offence but you realise that at this particular moment in time there is little that you can do to relieve the situation.
It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.
There is an inherent fear that you may be prevented from achieving the things you want. This activates your subconscious desire for peace of mind and mental security. It is increasingly obvious to you that the environment that you are in is not conducive to your well-being and so you are seeking fresh fields - somewhere free of conflict where you can RELAX and THINK.

Stagnant Progress...
The more we spend,
The richer we get.
We get even richer,
If we sink into a debt.
When the money we earn,
Is used to pay for more stuff,
Our sales figures blossom,
Without the need to bluff.
Our land becomes attractive,
And investors start to bloom.
They create many more jobs,
But each other they consume.
Companies begin to merge,
And retrenchments will rise.
But those that remains,
Will receive more rice.
The retrenched need not worry,
For more jobs will be made.
If they lower their expectation,
They can still afford a maid.
Meanwhile, the dudes up there,
Invested in wrong places.
They chalked up heavy losses,
And need to cover their traces.
Money is needed quickly,
But we are choosy and stingy.
We take our time to pick a job,
And spend really slowly.
So they pulled in foreign talents,
To fill up the gaps,
And raised all the taxes,
So that our market won't collaspe.
They withheld retirement funds,
To invest even more,
While raising their own income,
And ignoring beggars on the floor.
But to be fair as we compare,
Our salaries also increased.
Even though it is not much,
At least it didn't decrease.
Because of our forced spending,
We indeed got richer.
But looking at the inflation rate,
I can't help but wonder.
If our earnings increase,
With the cost of living,
Then is this so-called progress,
Worth the sacrificing?
The richer we get.
We get even richer,
If we sink into a debt.

The Junction...
At every traffic junction,
The red men stand proud.
They know that their presence,
Stop the movement of any crowd.
The pedestrians will wait,
Like what they have always done.
They’ll not question their faith,
For the green men appear like the sun.
If the green men stopped appearing,
The pedestrians will make a fuss.
But in no time they’ll pull together,
And say “the men have a plan for us”.
When reason is applied to this rule,
It apparently becomes not so cool.
Recall what you learnt from school;
Is everything you learnt true?
Decide for yourself when to cross,
And not leave it to others to tell you.
Your life is yours so own it well,
Otherwise the waiting can continue.

Come On...
Your sibling ate your food,
So your mood is not so good.
But what is gone is gone,
So come on and just move on.
Then the phone that you own,
Stopped giving you the tone.
But you get peace for a while,
So come on and smile.
Then your friend stole your plan,
And sold them in Japan.
But ideas come and go,
So come on and let it flow.
Then the person that you like,
Became someone else's bride.
But there're others still around,
So come on and reverse that frown.
Then the school that you go to,
Got infested by kangaroo.
But you know that it's untrue,
So come on don't throw your shoe.
Then the country that you stay in,
Started rioting from within.
But you managed to stay alive,
So come on and give me five.
Then you woke up in the night,
With your food on your right.
Please don't hang me by the beam,
Come on it's only a lame dream.
So your mood is not so good.
But what is gone is gone,
So come on and just move on.
Then the phone that you own,
Stopped giving you the tone.
But you get peace for a while,
So come on and smile.
Then your friend stole your plan,

Survival...
In any school,
In any course,
There exist,
This dreaded force.
Students are stressed,
To their limits,
Just because,
Of those merits.
Education,
Is not like this.
Survival,
Is what it is.
We compete hard,
And sacrificed,
For others,
To do likewise.
Many didn't score;
For some, they did.
Those that did,
They're tasked to lead.
They took the vow,
And made a bow,
But forget how,
They got to now.
Those left behind,
Looked in disgust,
While their leaders,
Destroyed their trust.
Taxes were raised;
Homes were sold.
The profits,
Remains unknown.
The rich, richer;
The poor stay poor.
Education,
Is not a cure.
This cycle starts,
All over again,
But our nation,
Will not sustain.

Do You Want To See...
A tree was just a seed,
Growing in soil and excrete.
Against threats like the weed,
The tree never concedes defeat.
It keeps growing and doesn't falter,
For if it does its life is over.
Its roots dig deep to suck water,
And spread its branches to stay sober.
But all these efforts will be futile,
When the bulldozer comes to fell it down.
The bystanders can all shout foul,
But what changes even if they protest around?
We are very much like a tree,
Competing aggresively and mindlessly.
But in the end all that we will see,
Is just a bulldozer crashing into thee.
