enlightenment

"The seed of knowledge is much sought after,
To bring sense to this complicated world,

What every soul craved for is the undying truth,

That life meant more than what it appears,

Hopes are shattered right in front of our very eyes,

Much strength required to rise from the ashes,

To finally stake claim on the universal teaching,

The serene power of enlightenment."

life in the fast lane

"Moving with the speed of lightning,

Relishing the wonders along the way,

Does one have the time to actually smell the roses?

This question will forever be planted in the mind,

Moving without knowing what one had gone thru,

To turn back is never an option,

To the people who live life in the fast lane."

"The faraway land is not in sight,
To touch the innocence with all of our might,
What is there left in the eyes of a fragile child,
The cruelty of human beings magnified,
What is only left is a wide-eyed child."
