Time

It is a force we can't control
It goes by so fast, we never realize it
We just watch it go by us
Seeing its power in the mirror everyday
The grey in our hair, the wrinkles in our skin
They say everything changes with time
Technology, music, arts, even the cars we drive
But the only thing that doesn't change is time itself
Because It's the world's only constant
And We can never change that
Think of all those memories from our past
Both good and bad are now just moments in time
Even if we want to go back and change we can't
It's the most powerful force in the world
It can change lives in mere seconds
We just accept it, and take life a day at a time
Hoping that we can make use of time to come
Because at the end of the day
We can't beat the clock

The Weight of Hate

Hate has been with us for as long as time Woven through history, like rhythm and rhyme From podiums down to corners of our streets Under the guise of pride, it does not retreat   With religion, race, even skin colour at its core We live divided, hate turns strangers to foes So many fight over borders, gods and flags, And so many innocents end up with toe tags   Politics divides us as much as other beliefs And corruption reigns, while people grieve Some don’t vote, because our ‘leaders’ lie Believing false promises, while children cry   Even gender has become a battlefield And ‘equality’ is a fight where nobody yields Orientation and identity are a whole other mess Where it will all end, is anyone’s guess   Class still divides the very streets we walk From the meals we eat, to the way we talk No matter where we live, or what our background Ultimately, we end up beneath the same ground   Race and culture, so often misunderstood What is wrong to some, to others is ...

Heroes

Heroes, we all have them in our lives They give us hope, they help us thrive And no, I don’t mean the ones with capes Just regular humans in all sizes and shapes   No powers, masks or need for fame But they change the world, all the same They live to give us strength and hope They show us love and help us cope   Some wield scalpels, steady and precise Some teach us truth, and give us a voice Some guard our freedom and enforce laws Giving everything for us, no matter the cause   Some our family, showing us the way Parents, siblings, friends, there every day They hold our hands, and keep us warm And guide us through the worst of storms   They fight battles that we often do not see And they give their lives so selflessly They give us all the freedom and choice Yet we take for granted, what they sacrifice   Heroes are everywhere, even if we don’t see They’re normal people, like you and me Whether they fight, heal, protect or teach They leave a mark, that we can neve...

Tears

Why do we only cry behind closed doors? Has nobody ever cried in public before? We’re human beings after all, that’s a fact So why can’t we behave with a little tact? Tears are a human’s purest sign of emotion It is not a sign of weakness or a demotion For even the upmost joy can bring one to tears And so can the realization, of our biggest fears Have you ever cried at a movie at all? Or felt even the tiniest tear drop fall? Remember when you heard certain lyrics of a song? How can the world believe it’s wrong? Whether we realize it or not, it makes life grand It means we can relate and that we understand They should bring us closer and not tear us apart But these tough folks, don’t know where to start Tears makes us real, warm and maybe even bold As opposed to robotic, heartless and cold But then, people are horrid, selfish and cruel They think they’re strong, so they act like fools Tears are not something to laugh at or mock It’s something ...
