Life isn’t Fair, My Friend

Too little time and too much to do, too little air and too much to breathe—and now the pale sun dips low, autumn surrenders to frost, and a dying voice begs: don’t wait.

_______________________________________________

Life isn’t fair, my friend; life isn’t fair at all

Once there was…,

Too little time and too much to do;

and too little air and too much to breathe

Too little space and too much to woo;

and too little energy and too much to reap

Too limited a vision and too much to see;

and too small a mind and too much to learn

Too little wisdom and too much taken as free;

and too small a choice and too many boats to burn

_______________________________________________

Life isn’t fair, my friend; life isn’t fair at all

Once there was…,

All those I could have loved, but didn’t,

and all those I shouldn’t have, but did

All those I could have blessed, but didn’t,

and all those I shouldn’t have, but did

Knowledge I could have gained, but didn’t,

and knowledge I shouldn’t have accessed, but did

Things that I could have passed on, but didn’t,

and things that I shouldn’t have, but did

_______________________________________________

Life isn’t fair, my friend; life isn’t fair at all

Now…,

The pale sun is dipping low in the West,

and the wind has stopped ruffling my hair

The chaos is all tired and preparing to rest,

and the eternal silence is almost here

The autumn is surrendering fast to the frost,

and the ideas have stopped painting my imagination

The violins have hushed, and all will is lost,

and ambition has ceased to move my determination

_______________________________________________

Life isn’t fair, my friend; life isn’t fair at all

Please, I beg you…,

Go do what you want and go reap what you need,

be kind to all around you and get rid of your greed

Go see what you desire and go learn what you can,

understand all that you like, no need for any plan

Go love whoever you want, go follow your dream,

go bless even your enemies, no use of any scheme

Go make a legacy and at all costs, pass it on,

don’t delay, just move, don’t wait for a new dawn

A Shit-load of Exclamation Marks!

SCREAM!!!!!

You wanna scream at something – really anything at all;

you wanna scream at someone – really anyone at all

You wanna shout to make God bend down and call;

you wanna shout till your voice echoes in His great hall

But in the end, you are just screaming at yourself;

banging your own head against the silent wall

You and Me – Us and Them

Each one of us – you and me and even us all;

we walk and we run and sometimes we crawl

We laugh and shout and we love and we hate;

so many feelings, yet our ego is a great wall


Read more: You and Me – Us and Them

Each one of us hides within, a giant black hole;

hungry enough to swallow the whole human soul

This is the heaviest burden that we must carry;

life is the theatre and it is our abhorrent role


Each one of us floats along a dark river of pain;

winding through the valleys of loss and of gain

This is our longest journey from birth till our death;

this is our miserable life – grey and filled with rain


Each one of us is addicted to the morphine of pleasure;

the sudden rush surging – no limit and no measure

This is our downfall and our biggest dilemma;

regret is the poison, there is no hidden treasure


Each one of us is different, each one of us is the same;

yet we hate each other, we fight for name and fame

This is why we fail to grow, this is why we lose;

admitting weaknesses, a prospect filled with shame


All of us are one, yet we choose to tread alone;

becoming rabid dogs when life throws us a bone

This is the grand sin; this is why we always fail;

we fail to hold hands, we always act for our own

A shit-load of exclamation marks!

SCREAM!!!!!

You just want to scream at something – really anything at all;

you just want to scream at someone – really anyone at all

You want to shout to make God pay heed and listen;

you want to shout till your voice echoes in His great hall

But in the end, you just scream at yourself;

banging your own head against the silent wall

CRUSH!!!!!

You just want to crush something – really anything at all;

you just want to crush someone – really anyone at all

You want to rub every face raw into the grounded glass;

they may beg mercy or on their stomach they may crawl

But in the end, you just crush your own spirit;

breathing your last, and unable to pay the toll


DESTROY!!!!!

You just want to destroy something – really anything at all;

you just want to destroy someone – really anyone at all

You want to scorch every living cell into grey sodden ash;

they all well deserve their punishment after all

But in the end, you just destroy yourself;

shattering into oblivion, and feeling so small


HATE!!!!!

You just want to hate something – really anything at all;

you just want to hate someone – really anyone at all

You want to hate till your hate fills all the voids;

they are all to be detested, you want to hate them all

But in the end, you just hate your own self;

your ego breaking into pieces, your pride suffers a fall


KILL!!!!!

You just want to kill something – really anything at all;

you just want to kill someone – really anyone at all

You want to kill till there is nothing more to kill;

the victims may beg or they may pathetically bawl

But in the end, you just kill your own self;

the blood flowing black, amidst the regret that you haul

I am Evil, I Admit (Previously, Beliefs and Perceptions)

d2f0pf6-2e902122-a8b0-4103-83f2-08c13329ac70

A confession wrapped in irony — when being called ‘evil’ hurts less than being called unloving.

_______________________________

Your belief in me being utterly bad,

your perception of me as evil is so sad

It is stronger than your belief in God,

but you love it, though it may be flawed

I don’t mind it, and I don’t mind it at all;

I am now falling, and I may fall

_______________________________

Your belief in me being so lowly,

to you is holier than the most holy

Seeing me as the devil’s spawn,

your words in stone, etched and drawn

I don’t mind it, and I don’t mind it at all;

I am now falling, and I may fall

_______________________________

Your belief in me being so depraved,

your faith in morals, preserved and craved

Seeing me as the fodder of red hell,

your prophecy is true, let us all yell

I don’t mind it, and I don’t mind it at all;

I am now falling, and I may fall

_______________________________

Your belief in me being so devious,

is your allegation, the most serious

Seeing me as sneaky and scheming,

you are alarmed, heralds are screaming

I don’t mind it, and I don’t mind it at all;

I am now falling, and I may fall

_______________________________

But your belief in me being unloving,

is your most hurtful and deeply cutting

Perceiving me as a liar and exploiter,

no reason, no logic, I am just a manipulator?

I do mind it a bit, and I do mind it a lot;

I will but, fall, you have hit a soft spot
