The Connections

23 December 2010 The Connections Where are the pharaohs, the pharisees, and the great philosophers Of their times a holder of prominence, liberal interpreter and rational reasoning For I am one who wishes to have a royal bloodline and wisdom I am one innocent and a blind to the truth of the past In every nook and cranny, there are begging, and the dying Helpless, unable to crawl to a safe place to hide Get entangled into the system and find hard to get out I wish I am many to extend a helping hand to every poor soul The sadness felt for many loss and failures in life Happiness dwells for satisfaction and achievements received Denials for wrongdoings and acceptance for great deeds I am all in these faces captured in such circumstances Where in this world of choices and chances We hurdle to life’s barrier to get in the end line Many have proved their guts brought them to glory I am few who joined the race because I am a pacer

It 's so interesting to see how different people incorporated those four phrases into their poetry. Well done, NOel. I especially liked that second stanza.Luv, Andrea

You made good sense out of these complex theme. I like the way you see your own face in others who are struggling. It would be a better world if we could all do that, Noel. Hope you're enjoying a merry Christmas. Love, Carolyn
