Having an inflated ego is detrimental to living a good life
It's a self-serving trait that can lead to tragedy and strife
One who's overconfident is arrogant, his hubris is rife
Overplaying his hand will cut like the blade of a knife
Some think they're better than the rest but should beware
of what happened in the race between tortoise and hare
When a hand is overplayed, there are screams, "Not fair!"
Pompous are those who are caught in their own snare
People who are uppity and conceited are easily derailed,
throwing a hissy fit when they find their ship has sailed
Dealing themselves a hand, but overplayed, it failed
They'd not be in a fool's paradise if modesty had prevailed
Narcissistic egotists seldom change. They don't understand
that when losing cards lie on the table, openly fanned,
they'd have been better off if they hadn't acted so grand
Those who overplay a hand, need a rebuke of reprimand
Taking everything for granted, with pleasure they boast
With excessive vanity, they need attention more than most,
but if I were to lift a glass, as if to honor them with a toast,
it would obviously be satirical and more indicative of a roast

1. The green light shines from above
ready to move, you stand erect.
2. Blood rush is your dialect
the dark tunnel is the only choice
of your venue for your project.
3. You dream of going to and fro
as if there's something to inspect
claiming the territory and going faster
with no respect.
4. Acting as if you're the only one
who has something to collect.
Why so subjected to this Life's aspect?
5. I always tell you
to wait for me to first connect
and stop being proud and overconfident.
6. A little humility
you need to inject
cos you're not the only object in this sect.
7. The heart in this situation
has more effect
so don't be in a hurry to affect
or else you'll face an abject reject.
8. Wait for your gate keeper
the time deem fit, she'll select
be understanding too,
her esteem, she wants to protect.
9. When the time is right,
it'll be perfect
bad manners, I don't want to detect.
10. Don't be desperate and aggressive
like a typical insect
for the main time stay and reflect
while you keep warm behind the zip.

The Super Snow Moon lighted our bleeding hearts,
That we’re staging the National Arts Month in February;
It reminded us to the king like the powerful wolf
Who defaced the rules of artistry
That he butted his unverified thoughts
To the heroine’s genuine and overconfident performances of art
That surpassed beyond a national badge of honor.
Aunor’s highly praised body of work inspires us
And her humble legendary origin conquers the borders
Of music, television, film and theater.
In our digital age, her extraordinary achievements
In various international film festivals crown her
As world-class actress.
Her artistic and brilliant talents exceeded the elements
Of being the National Artist,
But a thunder and lightning of judgment
Seemed like a twist from a daylight to Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse,
That disgraced the discretionary power of the king,
Who included undesirable factors other than artistry
And unceremoniously deleted her honor.
The resounding assertions of the noble souls
May have figuratively incarnated the national icon,
May have patriotically penned Nora Aunor’s magnificent works,
And may have glorified back the artistic contributions of a genius,
Who shall have been lionized for being...
The people’s National Artist!
Hostile offish right on cloud 9 luke warm listen close
Fielders choice milestones deeper still mindzones
Secret reveals the Truth more
Lies distant themselves from God'[s Throne
Flower gold what spells a watchman match wan degress full grown
Goodmen die for want for riches slowly it hits home
Beakers like life spans speak more of hotzones
Corruption overcame its own past holds
Decided discipline located lost Tomes
Prayer Meditation Night fasts waiting to see if Allah comes home
Supplication hear the crys of the Poor so you can hear God speak
It's only accendiation that releases a soul from this dark world
\Wo men spells Woman keep the E silent but dont ignore his calls Soap
Redirect misprint inform the Public of care phones
Careful but not overconfident unmet expectations remind us of White Stars and Blue Globes
Cleverness trickery deception realization that Heaven is never basis of past experiences
Fierceness crulety fluid motion knights Hope
Landing gear drop zones coordinates A Child's Hope
Average prominent excells a false Hope
Compelled weeknesses opened a vase glass blown
Blayze Chisel the space in between Time and the space of here and now
It's All about Glassglow
Flesh fuels fire. Spirit yields. There's body-soul fusion.
Springs up, will to power, and power to will illusion
Narcissistic senses and sensations amalgamated
Moral fibre, like worn-out dental roots, is deflated.
Selfishness, like the greed of predators, murders morals.
Egotism, like crabs in competitions, grabs all laurels.
Overconfident sensitive ego, like porcupines
Spreads its pokes, and thus, to hurt anyone, crosses limit lines.
Mind-not-on-task, - mental disposition, pervades the mind.
Consciousness compromises; awareness gets quarantined.
Hunger for acknowledgment and appreciation grows.
Self-contentment and satisfaction get peaceful repose.
Pretension and flamboyance soon become ethical codes.
Property, possessions, power, projective passion modes
The gratification of instinctual impulses
leading, ultimately, to emotional convulses
Oh, Land of the Free
You have presumptuously deemed yourself the mouthpiece and policy maker
Of the world
How overconfident
How impudent
Who makes you...
Oh, King of impertinence
Regulators of the human race...
The monarch of the agitated sea
Who are you to dictate MY household’s wishes?
As with the Roman Empire, your greed and moral deficiency IS your destruction
Your sins are hidden behind plaster, ramshackle, and termite-infested walls
You sit on your throne of deprecated morality
You twist your neck and roil your head in an idiomatic cistern of ethics
Oh, how those merchants whom seek shelter under your fiscal confidence...
Will wail and rip their outer garments, as they witness your
great
Collapse
Nevertheless, just like men whom seeks the warmth of a harlot’s bosom
They will easily turn their face to the next woman of ill-gotten gains
We grew up listening to the famous race
between the fast moving hare and slow moving turtle
in which the turtle defeated the overconfident hare
why don’t we turn turtle and learn its nature for
the turtles outlive generations of others species on this planet
they can protect themselves with sturdy shell shields
the turtles migrate frequently and travel long distances
they wisely understand ocean currents better than any else
the turtles have wrinkled bodies but also see many more seasons
they are laid back and love stability and live long
mythology reveres turtles who supported earth’s creation on their strong backs
and they draw strength from their meditation on the creator
they are friendly, easygoing and a patient lot
they may be cold-blooded but know how to adapt to all conditions
why don’t then we let them raise their necks high and learn from their wisdom?
Hey you! Yes you!
Why are you moping
wallowing in your sorrow
sad and feeling like there’s no tomorrow?
Why do you look helpless
with your round puffy eyes
punishing yourself, hopeless
wishing you believe in his lies?
Who stole your smile away?
Who took the light out of your day?
Who planted seeds of doubt in your heart?
Who says you couldn’t have a brand new start?
Why are you scared of love?
Hiding in your crampy little cove
Don’t you know your worthy of admiration?
In fact, I love you. You’re my inspiration
So if you feel like you’re broken
Darling, know that you shouldn’t be
And though at times I’m soft spoken
My actions are louder than words you see
And when at times I appear to be overconfident and strong
Know that to you, I will do no wrong
I will protect you from the world’s harm
You’ll forever be safe right here in my arm
Everyday I will remind you of your beauty
For you always means the universe to me
My love for you will never end
For you are the sky and I am the wind

From glory to dust-2
F ragile humans flailing away at cataclysmic events, trying to
R ule the world without a clue, not knowing the way
O ut... Impressive they try to be, imposing their
M ediocrity in synchronicity with deceptive ideologies
G lamourously they present themselves as role models
L eaders of society, in the arts, and business moguls
O f the sports world, they excel high above the
R est of the competition, they are winners, never
Y ielding to doubt or fear, ever overconfident
T oo many times they reach the summit, the peak of power
O nly to find themselves crashing down into the mire of disgrace
D isillusionment will rule the hopeful mind and heart of the innocent
U ntil the day when they finally comprehend that humans on their own
S imply cannot control or manage the chaos that confronts this world
T ogether the impious and vainglorious rulers will return to the dust.

To truly love myself- this I resolve
To guard with zeal my tenderness of heart
Of every sin and doubt myself absolve
And fortify and strengthen every part
To cherish and accept the inner me
To know and relish every single dream
The woman that I am, to set her free
To put aside each hindrance to love’s theme
I do resolve to be my dearest friend
To celebrate the wonders that I own
To spend time in my world and not pretend
To shine around the goodness I’ve been shown
A short time have I left to truly shine
And thus I vow to make my living fine

Learning to love myself has not been an easy task for me. Oh, it was easy when I was younger....perhaps I was overconfident then. Now, I have my good days and my bad days...days when self-loathing sets in and I find it hard to want to go on. I have learned...the hard way, that if you don't care for and cherish yourself, if you don't guard your dreams, if you don't look out for yourself, then no one will. It's a fact of life. You need to be confident and secure in who you are and what you have to offer. No matter how many times people tell you you are beautiful, no matter how often people tell you you are talented, no matter how many words are written in your praise, if you do not love yourself, you are unable to accept and believe and hope in the reality of these words. I'm not there yet, but I don't have much time to put this love into action. A healthy love of self is necessary. Christ said, "Love your neighbor...AS YOURSELF: (as you love yourself). I wish I had learned this sooner. I try to instill it in my daughter....this belief in oneself. I'm so glad that she is a confident, beautiful, and self-possessed woman. I can live on through her. Thank you all for your kindness to me. Thank you for loving me, when I've been difficult to love. May God bless you one and all. HUGS
