How Can I?

How can I? 
How can I not be my self? 
In a world where I cannot be anyone else? 
How can I not do my best? 
In a world where I cannot do everything? 
How can I? 
How can I not love myself? 
In a world where only few love me? 
How can I not serve others? 
In a world where nothing lasts forever? 
How can I? 
How can I not speak the truth? 
In a world where lies enslave the heart? 
How can I not seek peace? 
In a world where everything seem broken? 
How can I? 
How can I not wait for my turn? 
In a world where time rules? 
How can I take what is not mine? 
In a world where there is enough for everyone? 
How can I? 
How can I not be humble? 
In a world where pride comes before shame? 
How can I not be kind? 
In a world where givers never lack? 
How can I? 
How can I be weak? 
In a world where only the strong survive? 
How can I

...Worth

By and by, the hummingbird,
will eventually fly
With the broods,
deep into the wild
And just like her mother,
She will bring food,
From across the border
For the others
She will,
not because her mother is weak
But she will,
Just to prove her worth

Stepping Stone

Just like the grey heads do say,
Misfortunes are blessings in disguise.
Many often miss the real deal.
And they throw away the big meal

We keep chasing the wind,
Fighting the battles we cannot win
But if just may we value what we have,
We may be marvelled at what we are

A drop is like an ocean in the nib,
It has the zeal it needs to gig
And all it takes is time to bloom
Like the lilies Father grew for us to groom

No step can be too small,
If you have to climb that wall
Just step it up with your all,
And rise again from your fall

Things take time!
And time make things
So the less you have today,
The more have you tomorrow

Time never promises a thing.
It just got to be there.
If only value we may, our relics,
Better we may, our physics

Every day is just another day!
For the ant to find a better way
So however little maybe your own,
Still see it as your stepping stone

Achieve It...

When your mind conceives it,
If your heart believes in it,
Then your hands can achieve it

If it is still in the conceive stage it is called a dream.
If you put it in context, it becomes a goal.
If you clearly outline it, you call it a plan.
When you do what the plan says, it's called action
And when your actions reap results, you call them reality.

So if you can, please go ahead and dream big,
Clarify it so you can have a goal
Break it down to have a clear plan
Put the plan in action right a way
And you shall see the reality
Of what your mind conceived,
What your heart believed
And how your hand achieved it.

Destined to be More

Million eyes shall see it,
Billion ears shall hear it
And many tongues shall say it
That you are what you say you are
That you are the product,
Of a really great work done
That you are the hero
Who rose from ground zero
That you are the man
Who made everything from nothing
They shall loud it out,
On top of the mountains
Reaching the depths of the valleys
And your enemies shall multiply
Because your fortunes shall increase
Your fight shall get harder,
Your friends shall reduce in number
And yet, you shall get stronger
Because you know what?
You are destined to be more.

Whatever it Takes

Far Across the stream,
Lies the key to our dreams

So like a river down the hills,
Our troubles keep gaining pills

The minister is missing,
And the date, they keep re-fixing

In the news, 'they say we can'
But everyday, we still need a scan

Some people have the answers,
But they're like heavy bouncers

Others are deep in the woods,
Looking for shortcuts for good

But the stream seem too wide
For such a simple stride

So before you cut another strip,
Beware of the bloods you drip

Too many lives've been lost,
Fighting for the right cause

But while wars come and go,
The warriors protect our homes

So whatever it takes,
We're prepared for the stakes

Life Advices 001

Life is like a mirror,
Hanging upon the wall
She reflects what she sees
So you should be careful,
About the many choices,
You make every day
If you see life as beautiful and kind,
As compassionate but delicate,
And if you go on to live her,
As innocent as a new born child,
As peaceful as the lilies and roses
Trust me; but on your own instincts
Your seeds shall bear fruits
You'd marvel at what you'd find
And posterity will conspire
To help you achieve your heart desires
Because, life is best lived,
If she's lived for the good of all
