Through The lenses
I don’t like what I see; the camera keep staring at me; I don’t like what I see the stars keep shining above me and the earth is moving beneath my feet and my heart sorrows suddenly rolled away in the deep and my heart burst out in a healthy laughter.
I stood at the window all night looking at the light in the distance and millions of stars around it celebrating my midnight song and the galaxy moving around the universe gave birth to a new world.
I could see what is in it and how the story came alive when he introduce his new bride, it started out as a love story of how the heaven met glory and the struggle to keep the dream alive and the pain that came with the awful sacrifice, there are something that you have to know, the misery of the world is not just a stage show.
It is the reality of the life we live every day and the suffering that we have to endure; there are some things that I cannot say aloud, I just have to bury them deep inside my soul. Destiny is parceled in a box and place on top of a platter and the choice that we make will cause us live or falter.
The image you see through the lenses will make you come to your senses. It is human lives beyond the lenses and blood run through their veins, they breathe like you do and have ambitions like you do. What makes you think that you are different when we need the same thing to stay alive
If you take some time to respect the life behind the screen, you will realize your long-awaited dreams; it is hard to make the grade but help will come in time with three hundred million dollars to purchase your sorrows and straighten your tomorrow. You will live the life you dream of and climb the Eiffel tower and gallivant under the lights.
It takes courage my friend to live in the lion's den with the devil's temple around you and his army walking up and down the passage to intimidate you. It takes patience my friend, to do what I do and stay alive when no one is on my side.
The day breaks with the heaven twirling around in the sky and I have an important decision to make before the universe dies this is not a cultural monopoly but an mature story of how the world came into being when you came into my life.
you rose to the top in a jiffy and I pledge to do what it takes to make you happy. You sit there looking at me all day and the pot is boiling away, it’s a human being behind the lenses and it feels pain like you do and the shame that it left on you. Someone is sitting there for real and that is the person behind the wheel.
Look through the lenses once more and tell me what you see, I have garnished enough faith and courage to set my spirit free.
