Poem Title:
Poem
Life most certainly seems like it’s so easy to some people And you may be right on, to something That is, if you are looking at life as a, one period at a time, thing But when you get the chance to add every period together Then his life or hers, is not so different than yours It’s just a matter of how we wear our differences Life is a lot like the clothes we put on And/or whether, if how we wear it, puts a smile on our faces And how that same smile can be re-assimilated to other races It’s all about reaching the best illusions of the truth And the truth is…We can wear anything we want to You and I, certainly earned our right to choose We’ve inherited it That is your gift And your gift is the same as mine But it is the same in a different way Like how an art is different to another art form Where every art is beautiful Where every beautiful thing has its story Where every story has a home in mind And where every home is also where the heart wants to live But I’m not talking about the heart that pumps blood in our veins But the heart with its entire soul, unified in spirit Like when you close your eyes, knowing full well God is in it Like the most feasible conclusion to a punch line Sometimes it doesn’t make sense but you get it anyhow Because for some reason the joke made you to laugh And your laughter makes someone else, to laugh And all the sudden, you are a genius All because you recognize the point to a period And life gets reborn; that moment on But seriously the joke is in you And I mean that in the most constructive way Because if you were to break that down to the tiniest piece Life becomes all too small to miss Or else we’re left just to reminisce I suppose, that is, what it is, where it comes to the truth We can only control what we can control And we can only become who is already inside of us And so, I thought we must all reach a point of acceptance "This is who I am" "This is who we are" Individually "This is my world" Together, “It’s ours universe” There’s always a time to be picky and to be reserved But now is definitely not one of those times Because this moment, is your time to choose As to which life to wear and what makeup to make up on Where the best way to celebrate being, the same, is to make a difference to others By:Wilbert E. Dela Cruz
