You and Me – Human and Selfish

Each of us - you and me and even us all;

we walk and run, and sometimes we crawl

We laugh and shout, and we love and hate;

our feelings make our ego, a great big wall


Each of us hides within a giant black hole;

hungry enough to devour our very human soul

It’s our heaviest burden that we must carry;

life is the theatre, and it is our abhorrent role


Each of us floats along a dark river of pain;

winding through the valleys of loss and of gain

Our longest journey from birth till our death;

our miserable life – grey and filled with rain


Each of us is addicted to the drug of pleasure;

a 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 of us is different, despite being the same;

yet we hate and 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;

fighting like rabid dogs when life throws a bone

This is the grand sin; this is why we are doomed;

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

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

God’s Breakable Toys

a broken doll

What if everything we believe about right and wrong, love and hate, and heaven and hell, is just an elaborate lie we tell ourselves to feel significant?

A provocative philosophical poem structured as a series of “what if” questions that systematically dismantle fundamental human beliefs about existence, morality, choice, and emotion.


What if there is no eternity, there is no heaven or hell?

What if there are no consequences, good or bad, at all?

The guilt is just a loathsome burden, a rotten, stinking smell,

while life is just a dream, no ups or downs, big or small


What if there is no choice, there is no right or wrong?

What if there are no options, left or right, at all?

Life is just the time, singing a long, sad song,

while fate sits smiling, and quietly rules all


What if there is no color, there is no black or white?

What if there are no shades, dark or light, at all?

Life is just reflections, a kaleidoscope made right,

while our dreams are just dancing shadows on a wall


What if there is no feeling, there is no love or hatred?

What if there are no emotions, anger, or fear at all?

We are all just great actors, holding our roles sacred,

while each act promptly happens on the director’s call


What if there is no change, there is no sadness or joys?

What if there are no upheavals, high or low, at all?

We are all just God’s property, His breakable toys,

played with, and tossed aside, in His great hall
