Beyond

Think world not countries,
Think people not race,
Think life not species,
Think God not skies,
Think personality not name,
Think art not color,
Think sport not games,
Think home not shelter,
Think love not hate,
Think pride not ego,
Think heal not pain.
Realize.
Rise.
Reach.
Beyond.

Tree

I ask for water that's all I do,
Perhaps a bit more sun,
Give me love and shelter too,
And I'll fluff up like a bun.

Selfless I give and give more,
And ask for nothing in turn,
Be glad and well while I'm bored(d),
Because anytime I can make you burn.

I have nothing to live or die for,
No reason to carry on,
I'm no one's and I'll never be your(s),
But will be missed when gone.

Grow Up

Going around in shorts is considerable crime,
Oh now you can't even play with slime,
It's outrageous to talk about PeePee in public,
Do you remember now when country became republic? 

Swings and slides are day dreams of many,
Remember the the train rides that costed a penny?
Enjoy a chocolate or two if want,
But there might still be hospitals that haunt.

When sports was just running around with a ball,
Doesn't matter in the ground or the hall,
When parents didn't embarrass you much,
And you wouldn't care if people judge.

Growing up is natural and not a choice,
You can tell it has happened by the change in voice,
You're bound to miss the days when you were young,
But it's the past now, the songs been sung.

Note To Self

Greatness is not just for the special,
It is nothing unique,
Nothing complex.
Greatness is people with courage,
It is passion put to work, 
It is inspiration.
Greatness is motivation,
Not snoozing the alarm is great,
Giving a stranger lift is,
Great is achieving the goal,
Greatness is living through pain.
It is not destiny,
But it is extraordinary.
Be smart.
Be noble.
Be you.
Be great.

Imagine

Imagine the paintings come to life,
Mona Lisa and Gandhi sharing some tea,
Repeating the words said before they died, 
Flirting secretly so no one can see.

Imagine a tree with lots of money,
Surrounded by people of filth and greed,
Genteel birds praying for a swelling,
Plans made already to steal its seed.

Imagine all your dreams become reality,
Cinderella and Mickey making out in the park,
Prince Charming and Tweety off to prom,
And more dreams there as soon as its dark.

Imagine 'poverty' and 'crime' become words of past,
A place where all is imagination,
Where people do not survive but live,
We will have created a new generation.

Be

Be, where rises the sun,
the day has begun.
Be, when they smile,
even for a little while.
Be, on the great path,
in the face of wrath.
Be, when you hear the call,
when it starts to fall.
Be, where the moons peek,
find what you seek.
Be, when the clouds thunder,
everywhere is blunder.
Be, when it starts to pour,
you need no other door.
Be, when the mountains echo,
beyond the bright glow.
Be, near the ocean side,
find another place to hide.
Be, where they speak out loud,
doesn’t matter if allowed.
Be, away from all commotion,
feel all emotion.
Be here.
Be now.
Beneath all the scowl.
