Poem
Hear the buzz Do not disturb The hornet's nest Don't cross the line Where right turns wrong And tact criminal The path is set Each to a fate At many fork roads There will be time For frustration to blame Guilt and regret Be steady now While you are here Mix and mingle in grey shades Yet black is black And white is white Feast appetite with peace Drink your own cup Lest thirst breeds poison In avaricious strides If you must live Live a good life Evil is loss of ease If you must die Die for a cause Bigger than you Beyond human laws Of right and wrong Innocence seems weary Guilty until proven Innocent or whatever posture Swings the other way round Do not cede to temptation Insidious violence grins Control is in vain Walk then the way That middle path Where life is found Live simple substance Beyond the sad buzz Of cynical hypocrisy If cynic or skeptic fits Yet be true to your soul For earthly days are brief Do not be afraid For fear is a trap For the wrong reasons Live with stern love That your days somehow May be a blessing To each a precious gift Given that you may By choice give to live Seek then and be bold Walk the narrow path Where grace funds love Do not let fear Make you feel lost Life springs hope eternal If you must pray Be beyond reason Let faith fund fest Make your words simple In poise, choice and voice A simple prayer echoes: "Thank you God. I love you God. Show me the way." Simplicity is subtle Plain and effective A cause that works Then rest your soul Cast off your burdens Be enlightened, set free Beyond cause and course Truth speaks sternly For beauty is pure No need to worry Just feel happy As you can be No fuss needs no buzz All things happen For a good reason Be content With being A becoming Leon Enriquez 28 September 2014 Singapore
