Fountain Of Youth
No one can remain young forever;
it’s nothing to do with reason;
all the years seem to run together;
youth is merely a season.
Youthful beauty is worn as a crown;
but, upon it, you cannot rely;
all physicality must wear down;
and then, eventually die.
Don’t Cry For Yesterday
Make sure you don’t cry for yesterday;
all those tears should already be dry;
save your tears, for only today;
for yesterday’s already passed by.
Things happened; I’d like to forget;
forever, staining my past;

pride has a tendency of polarizing;

Abject Poverty
We live in a world of abject poverty;
physical; and spiritual; as well;
things are not what they ought to be;
the earth is a spiritual hell.
Every day, truth becomes subverted;
honor is displaced with lies;

Graveyards
Graveyards are filled with people, I’ve known;
the landscape of life has changed;
