A Moth In The Flame

Posted in Literature, Politics on Jun 26th, 2009 4 Comments »

Idealism is one glorious
iridescent flame-
a magnet to young blood
swathe in innocence. How
with our simplicity,
our winged resistance-
singed and burned. Died
 
until our ashes will mix
in the wick, obliterated
by mediocrity and irrelevance.
Our lives wasted and fading
to wisps of smoke-

Bicycle Ride

Posted in Literature on May 30th, 2009 4 Comments »

counting roosters
that have crowed
at dawn break.
All the hope

Pensive as I was in this lazy afternoon.  Looking out in the window and the hazy light filtered through. Sending dust like a strobe of crystals. I stared. Just stared for the longest time.
The muse didn’t come as I expected.  Like an acrylic tube on the verge of squeezing out  of its contents, I just [...]

Words To Live By

There are three words to learn if you want to be in harmony with almost anyone.  This is sorry-if you have unintentionally hurt or done mistake against someone. Another is thank you -if you have received in gratitude any kind of help from someone else. And the last  word is please-if you need something or simply asking [...]

Rocket Idea

Posted in Current Affairs on Mar 6th, 2009 1 Comment »

There is a witty comment I came across in a meeting some days ago. I was clutching my pencil, nervously waiting for an hours’ worth of ceremonious talking  to end, when suddenly, someone blurted out that the solution is plainly simple.  “It doesn’t take a rocket idea to resolve the problem, don’t make it too [...]
