Fathom Me

I know there will be sleeping 
enough in the grave
Yet when i fast, i got hungry and 
sometimes rave
Knowing fully well that the fast is 
not going to last. 
I see the cloud becoming thick, 
dark and brownish 
It rains, i expect the pains to 
perish.
I have power, but i don't have 
strength
I couldn't stay an hour in the 
mansion, I like it here in the tent.
It taste like sweet in my mouth 
when i ate the mango
But in my stomach it stood on 
one leg like flamingo
The flowers are beautiful as 
confirmed by the eyes
But who deserves the most 
credit? Is it the flowers, for being 
beautiful or the eyes for seeing it 
beauty lie.
Before you see my trouble
Try and see my struggle

Fool's Gold

At first most of us dint know, only those before us
Even those before us were ones like us, but they learn t by force 
We all thought it was real, that is how we feel.
Now they are coming, they are using the same path we took in getting here, oh! they will
It was the same with them, even with those before them.
Now it is the same with us, it will be the same with even those after us
I wish it were possible, and I wish it is possible to say;
"Loan me your eyes let me see for you''
''loan me your mind let me understand for you''
''Loan me your leg let me walk for you''
In this way, you will see, know and realize it IN TIME. 
But no... that's just the way
They never, we never, and they will never realize it is a fool's Gold
Until when they are almost [if not] sold.

Difficult

It's difficult, waking in the morning
Staring at the ceiling, yawning
Having bad feeling, it really hurts 
Nobody seems to understand your problems
It's like a cut

Be Grateful

They say you don't know what 
you have until you lose it
Try to figure out what you have 
and use it 
For the betterment of yourself 
and yours 
Imaging what will happen if what 
you have is loss
Your journey through life has 
been pause
Only God knows the kind of 
damage it will cause
Your dependent will be force 
To face life [Your daughter, your 
son, your wife]
The feeling will cut you like a 
knife
Knowing that you are the one 
that turned off the light [in their 
life]
Happiness is not a destination, its 
a mood
Being grateful for what you have 
is good
Knock on wood
Always consider others in 
everything you do
