Best Happier Poems
Grasshopper in boiling pot
Wild wolf in boiling furnace
Pauper in king’s palace
Rich man in pauper’s hut
Devil queen in God’s kingdom
Holy Angel in devil’s palace
Different generations
Different life styles
From deficiency to abundance
From neglect to care
From basic education to higher education
From man monopolization to women arising
From single income bearers to both parents working
From self-raising babies to baby sisters to nurseries
Different generations
Different perspectives of life
Different hazards
Different confrontations
Who is happier
Man is always curious and greedy
They always make problems to be solve
Like pollution, wars, bribery, disputes,racism
Who is happier
Finally they will lean to religions
But who knows God is not to be bribed
God will only help those who help themselves
Here's a question for
Whomever may have the answer
Because I am not in possession of it
Neither am i a fan of massaged statistics
And so called experts who them through
The media supply endlessly in droves
But how many young children are choosing
To take their own lives and commit suicide
Today more or less
Than two decades ago
Given that they are told they can be
Identify as anything they want or wish to be
Cancel culture has defeated hate
Racism and sexuality are no longer an issue
And expressing our feelings and opinions
Will set them free and in doing so
Help countless others out there
Who feel exactly the same
And always leads to positive change
Social media and living your life out
Online is far better and a more productive
Way to learn than from say actual people
Who may not have to look up
Have actual life experience in matters
That may be of use if asked for council
Not scoffed at disrespected and treated
as a joke
Which when you yourself will probably
Much later older and wiser become
Will eventually in time as well realize
When your time comes around as it will
That you weren't quite as smart as you
Initially at first thought
When the numbers are all counted and in
And they paint a pretty grimm picture
As every year more and more
They expedientially go up and up
And expose the sad but real truth
That modern day children are being
Forced into sacrificing their childhoods
By being exposed at a far to early
formative age
To such adult themes
They are simply not well adjusted enough
Or prepared to handle or deal with
As it's not only killing their innocence
And happiness in the process
But it's also taking and costing
Lives as well
And yet we tolerate this
Believing it could never possibly happen to us
Or in fact it's ours that could be next
Happier without me
How could you be
Don't you miss me
Why don't you miss me
Does this estrangement
Not have any affect on you
How could this be
It has left me broken
It has left me cold
Why don't you care
Why don't you feel any
Regret over the termination
Of us
Oh Mephistopheles, happier today you would be
Than any other time
For
Many more people are willing their souls to sell,
Just for a single dime!

Happier Times
Miracle Man
2-27-2023
I find some days to be like parched corn,
a few have smoothness of whipped cream.
Many days when I am feeling careworn,
I look to my past and begin to daydream.
There are no happier eyes than yours,
there's no kinder heart than yours;
my huge universe is built on these,
my passion is an incurable disease!
Happier eyes and kinder hearts
rhyme perfectly in any song...
then sing it for love, then sing it for joy;
you'll be amazed for how long
it will stay on lips that taste happiness...
while arms hug tenderly!
I've been loving others
for the wrong reasons,
did I ever abuse you to fulfill
my selfish desires?
Every touch you felt was a thrill,
every smile was brighter than stars!
There are no happier eyes than yours,
there's no kinder heart than yours;
I may seem hard in looks,
but kind in tender emotions!
Happier eyes and kinder hearts
rhyme perfectly in any song,
then sing it for love, then sing it for joy;
you'll be amazed for how long
it'll stay on lips that taste happiness...
while arms hug tenderly!
Isn't the concept of men
who hold back tears
an unfair perception?
I have cried silently not showing
more sensitive eyes,
how much harm I did to myself
hiding in shame, not letting
tears fall and reveal my true self?
Happier eyes and kinder hearts
rhyme perfectly in any song,
sing it for love, sing it for joy;
you'll be amazed how long
it'll stay on lips that taste happiness'''
while arms hug tenderly!
[This poem can be sung to the tune of Memory from the Broadway Musical,
" Cats ". I haven't written the music yet. Most likely it will be a crossover:
a pop/country/rock song.]
I lost her suddenly with no explanation,
she left me alone, in isolation.
Was losing her for better or for worse?
I came out stronger, but maybe its a curse.
Everything is different now that she's gone,
I keep running from my problems, its a marathon.
I avoid it all, bury my emotions deep down,
like water, I'm submerged and going to drown.
Strayed from the world-maker, the creator,
becoming a home-body, becoming a hater.
She was like ice, she got smaller with time.
But I don't miss her anymore, is that a crime?
Loved but lonely, living but lost, my light is the fire.
When I say I'm happier now am I a liar?
Trumpets sound, the church bells ring,
The organ plays while the choir boys sing.
Everyone is trying to sing in tune,
Happiness permeates the room
Smiling faces, Heads held high,
Voices floating up in the sky
Many voices raised in praise
Trumps in prison, happier days!
Perfect people aren't happier,
Use brain and not the heart,
Want this perfect, want that right,
Look perfect, do perfect,
Perfection stresses them all the time,
Entire life elapses in perfecting life all the time...
Imperfect use heart not the brain,
Do mistakes - Do blunders all the time,
Have memories of mistakes to laugh at, all the time,
Bad experiences make them have fun, all the time...
Life experiences make them happier all the time.
Perfect ...use their brain not the heart, all the time...
Imperfect ...use their heart not the brain, all the time...
The teachers elders taught me,
Be perfect all the time...
But life experiences teach me,
Be happy all the time...
Perfection without happiness isn't any use,
Happiness without stand is as good as curse...
I learnt perfection gives me stand,
Happiness teach me to live the life,
Sometimes wrong and some right,
I feel is good for life.....

Is to find some humour, every once in a while..! Ask me and
I will even admit..' On wanting to see' some souper smiles.! Or
Should that be all soupers smiling..? Maybe thats too dictatorial.?? Hmm.. Maybe i'm too territorial.? Who knows?
But God alone.)
I was happy,
TV nightly,
As a family,
Simple pleasures,
"Any Umbrellas",
Family holidays,
I was happy,
Perhaps the world was happy,
Or happier at least.
The digital world comes
And an old man seems to become
A social outcast
Using a telephone instead of a handphone
Using a typewriter instead of a computer
Writing a letter instead of an email
Reading newspaper instead of electronics news
Having posting service instead of express delivery
Using a cash purchase instead of an e-wallet
You can't say
He is left behind in life
He is ignorant and careless
He isn't competitive
Actually he has his own world
To follow and to cling to
He is born in a different world
And lives there till now
He will change quickly
If the present world is happier, safer and more hopeful
But he just wonders
If the present world a paradise to live
Been accused of being a useless old clam
Better to be remembered as just a silly old man
To entertain my workmates
Till the boss says, “WAIT!”
Outputs reduced, but “they're a happier clan!”
Save me – I used to have suicidal ideations in my mind…watch over me, Lord of
Accord…I can’t find the light in goodbye, so let me say before I go – I love you
so, friend of mine – let me unwind for a little while and give me some space if
you can be so kind
Ohhh…see right through my pain – regret & shame slits me like a knife, shaking
in the hands of a cutter – I’m trying to look on the brighter side of life, but I
am blind and I am feeling left behind…ooh I’m trying to leave behind the past if
you don’t mind
Shame embraced me, never leaving my presence – I’ve been driven insane by
Depression and Anxiety…I’ve lived through so much stress and distress, yet
I’m still surviving & I’m still thriving to be positive and to have a happier frame
of mind (someday, I won’t be blind)
So, today is a sun-shining day…and the morning dew of dismay has faded
away
Under the universe, I see happy-go-lucky birds fly gaily…passing away like the
day transforming into night…the illuminated night awakens my mind’s eye and
my mind’s remarkable inspiration
Roam around the City of Serenity and let us both seek the sun, so we can
grow together once more
Vibrant sun shines upon us like a spotlight on the performer
I feel that my alienated ambition has taken its toll on me…I’m no longer a
forlorner
