Sold on a cheapskate cheesing.
Cupcaked' by a cheesecake reasoning.
Kids, plenty for the
Cakewalk.
Kids, plenty to play
Hopscotch.
Kids, plenty of energy goes
Non-stop.
Disparaging remarks marked up by the
Loudmouth loosened by fool-proof
Foul Alchohol percentages.
It's far too soon to start with those
Remarks.
Gliding by.
Hiding behind our
Rollercoaters' ropes.
Ready to Ride,
Side by Side,
Since this high.
Goodbye.
Razor-sharp wit halved the delicate patience.
Good times vanish, in wood varnish.
Drive-by relief roaming without induction.

with a hope

*Image Raptured in Heaven by Pint.
Raptured in Heaven
The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock,
Those who have mourned, the meek, and merciful,
Answers to who holds the key to unlock,
Plus, hungry and thirsty righteous dreamful.
Newness befalls refreshed innocent breathes,
The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock,
True turtledoves hail friendly laurel wreathes,
Harmonious life will be a cakewalk.
It is Grace who's at your door, comes a knock,
Your soul chronicled in the Book of Life,
The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock,
Preparations made for your afterlife.
Prayers gifts comfort, freed from the abyss,
Your salvation resources round-the-clock,
He kept His promise--everlasting bliss,
The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock.

CLARITY is lost when good
escapes an easy definition,
and bad is not predictably
a cowboy dressed in black.
COMPLEXITY confounds, from losing
innocence to courting possibilities,
from childhood's casual cakewalk
to the forced march of responsibilities,
the blurring of all boundaries,
the complications of a simple yes or no.
SIMPLICITY has yes written all over it.

Life in Reality
Life is not a cakewalk
Many a things stand in the way
It is up to us how we look at them,
And keep our problems at bay.
We work our way through hardships indeed,
But we fall down when we feel the hill is steep.
We keep things hidden in our heart,
It gets loaded like a heavy cart.
We should learn to live life both ways,
Through luxuries and through hardships,
To be ready to learn when the time will come,
And lay down our lives and sail our life ships.
This life is like a rollercoaster,
Every man is sailor on a violent sea,
He has to hold on to his poster,
Not turn his back humming like a bee.
So don’t be let down by sad occasions,
Nor be let down by your grieves,
Even if your ship has sunk indeed
Cross the mighty river in your briefs.

MY BIG BROTHER JOE
Joe I’ve never been up to your standards, no potential as they say
Oh I went to university, all right, but didn’t get honours
Then started a small business but it was no great shakes
I went to teach in Africa but achieved no spectacular success
Married a girl I wanted, just kinda ordinary, no great beauty,
Got three kids, messy and costly; you stayed single, wise choice.
Always kinda idolized you, Joe, always talking about you, you know.
I’m a loser Joe, not like you. You would’ve been great with any choice.
You married a real beauty, she didn’t deserve you, so you split up
You could’ve been anything, but you rightly didn’t want to choose wrong
Man, you were wise - too many choices and anyone can easily make a slip
I'm sure you would’ve been valedictorian in the university,
It's obvious you could’ve gone much further in business than me
And Africa would’ve been a cakewalk with your knowledge and skills.
When the guys from the old street get together, all we talk about
Is you and how cool you were, and what you did and said,
And how one day you’d be famous for something needing your potential.
