Best Infinitely Better Poems
your output
to the universe
comes back to you
like a "Return to Sender" mail.
if you treat people
with utmost respect and dignity,
they'll reciprocate;
treasure in, treasure out.
the same can be said
of maltreatment,
it's always repaid in kind;
garbage in, garbage out.
it's a fair trade,
every time.
in this cruel, savage world,
sprinkle in a handful of tenderness.
one is infinitely better off
trading meanness
with kindness.
it's much easier being...
a good human being.
it's far from expensive;
buy into it, it costs
less than a penny!
Hypocritical Politicians
One cannot but agree about diplomacy being all hypocrisy...
Those who double talk and sugar coat their wordings...
Are actually buying for time for double dealing...
Explains perfectly why politicians are experts at wheeling and dealings...
They lean to the left, they lean to the right...
They are astute, with shrewd timing to survive alright....
Just recall the fiasco over 1MDB, nothing drastic done to do things right....
All we get, you and I and just about everybody else...
Heightened costs of living, GST and multibillion debts ....
Boo hoo hoo....
The politicians with their double talk....
Confuse and sold to us all the poor sods.....
GST 6% is infinitely better that service tax at 10%...
2 years down the road, we are all poorer instead...
Salaried workers take on extra low pay jobs....
Just to maintain regular lifestyles as befitting their lots...
Now to rub it in, some wise cracking minister...
Accuses able bodied Msians for not being diligent enough...
The crux of the problem is plain to see....
There has not been a reasonable rise in salaries....
To keep pace with the drastic price increases in basic necessities...
And here is a minister putting his foot on his mouth...
Asking all suffering Msians to work even harder to the bone....
Hohoho....

- not a Wake, infinitely better -
awake again this day, a miracle! O gratitude
Awaking (a choice to make)
Repeat the past, Recycle Me, or At Last
Recall Living Words
II
Awaking each day. Stop recycling away
Especially hurts. Words like swords.
Say:
I thank the Universe
In halting prayers or living Verse
To wake up is simply an Awakening
This should be happening
Each time we are born again from naps
Jesus: You have changed me: With me in the gaps
III
The great choice before us each day
Is to begin with "I Pray -
I will be grateful today
No one owes me this 24-hour New Day
Addictions, old worries. Away!
Words of Life, think them, not of yesterday
The Universe is waiting to blow us away" shalom shalom
