The evolution of humanity
comes from individuality
those seeking popularity
conform their personality
theoretical practicality
forging their reality
when void of originality
false becomes the strategy
and false equals insanity
making you a tragedy
for we all potentially
have unique ability
that can only be let free
with our individual key
one nobody can copy,
yours in you and mine in me

I cannot tell you that I love you, still…
I’ll love you how good wisdom says I may!
I’ll take our friendship for the better pill,
And put romances in the drawer, to stay.
It seems, though tragedies do dog us all,
Still, happiness resides even in the dark!
For diamonds live within the vein of coal,
But digging for them, that!! …Sets off the spark,
That blows the hopeful digger into bits,
And so, I’ll leave the diamonds in their vein,
(I’m not a man who usually quits,
But digging’s lighting matches in a rain
Of Gasoline!) I’d rather call you, ‘friend’,
And let love live!! And fool romances, end.

Practicality is a cloak for the broken heart,
'Tis strange what all pain can impart!
