RAGING STORM

-
Raging storm, unruly  storm
You still when you are told to
You hear and listen
You are calm and quiet

Raging storm your rage sink
At a command
Your bristle melts with words
Words of stillness

Raging storm listen,
Listen to the voice in my head
The loud silent cry in my heart
Telling you to be still

For i fear and tremble, the conflict
Within me is great, outside, grievous
Like fire, it fury nothing can contain
Like the raging storm it needs stillness

Give way to calmness,
Let your darkness give way
To light and your threatening  flash,
Give me safety and surety

Just like in the ship when you obeyed
My master at his command to be still
I command you storm to be still
Oh! wave be calm and quiet

For i am not of little faith
I am a seed of the great, I have
The sword, words of stillness
Calm, quiet to fight.

And so I don't beg you
I command you
Be still and calm.
Raging storm.

INNOCENCE

I want my innocence back. I was very innocent before life stole my innocence. I like how i used to cry without being able to say what i want and my mummy will get it for me, she will say 'you want water? You want to eat? Should we go home? You want to go and meet daddy? You want that toy? That shirt? And everytime she asked, i nod a yes to it and she will get it for me. I like how i used to cry like the baby i was and my mummy will pat my back and say baby don't cry, she will ask 'who beat my baby?' she will lift me up, spin me around, throw me up and down, smile and sing me her own rhymes to lure me to sleep.  I like how everybody wanted to carry me in their arms and say she is cute, i love the kisses they placed on my cheeks and lips, it didn't mean anything, i never thought of the person that placed the kiss, it didn't matter if it was a boy or girl, cute or ugly. That was how innocent i was. I like how i used to bath outside, go around naked and my nakedness...

A GOOD SHOW

-
They are 7 billion people in the world, hypothetically.  7 billion people equal 7 billion lives and 7 billion lives logically equal 7 billion smiles. But what if I told you 7 billion smiles don't equal 7 billion amusement, pleasure or happiness same time. Hundred Eyes said in Marcopolo; If the gods are watching then we might as well put on a good show, but imagine no God in heaven and none in shrines and olympus watching us. Would there still be a need for a good show? I'd say Yes, of course. Like a smoke machine simulates the fog we see in a motion picture, taking picture is a simulation of our living condition expression, and a woman faking orgasm to simulate the process of boosting her man ego, are all processes you will agree with me won't stop, so as the height of conscious efforts to show the world we are making progress won't drop, and so the show goes on and on and on. And I can understand why we put on a good show every now and then, nah, slash the euphemism,...
