Oh, Empathy,
you divine child of love,
I implore Thee to help us sacrifice our
self-interest
on
the altar of common good
for
only in this way mankind could put aside
their differences and find solutions
for
the benefit of us all!

MY GRANDPARENTS
I'm lucky
That with God's grace,
I enjoy the privilege
To have with me
My loving grandparents.
At forty three
Sixteen my son
When I suffer from deep nostalgia,
Long long back
I could memorise
A pair of benevolent faces
With smiling panacea.
With their affectionate hands
They fed, groomed
And brought me up,
Spent nights sleepless
Caring watchful and
Comforting me in their lap.
Ate exactly spent frugally
And minimum they wore,
But bought me tasty food
Nice clothes with happiness from the core.
Intensity of wrinkles
Growing deep with time
On their faces fine,
Can speak volumes about
Sacrificing their youth
For betterment of mine.
Owing a great deal
With honour I bow,
My dear grandparents
Very old you're though.

They told
Without weapons, enough food, necessary products
They are bold
To fight against the armed forces and occupationists
To snatch complete freedom
To ensure the glory of being independent
Keeping pace with the rest of the world
Raising head as independent nation,
And they were right
Within nine months of violent fight
They were able to hunt
The cruel, unscrupulous rulers’ foolish forces,
Then victory came
The heroes wrote the name
Of an independence loving new nation
On the centuries hard stone
Through a vast sea of bleeding
Lots of valuable lives losing
Lots of honors dishonoring
Huge of properties destroying.
*For the commemorating of the independence

The fog that en laces
The lofty peaks
Shows its amiability.
The butterflies and bees
That collects the nectar of flowers
Quote its heart of sharing.
Through the enlightening face,
Through the sparkling
But sharp look
Of the son,
Flows out the mom’s love,
Concern and happiness.
The language of the heart
Of the mother
Comes through,
Gets life and sound
Through the lips of the son.
All the stalemates
Will become freezed
By the inseparable chain
Of their heart.
But the day came
When the murmuring winds,
And the chattering birds
Had to say adieu.
The mother’s heart began to burn
That pain dropped down
As the tears from the son’s eyes.
The lament of the blood
That flows through the nerve
Of his mom
Sobbed by the lips of the son.
At last,
The heart of the mother
That cannot speak out
The word-Goodbye
Find out a reason.
Loving and caring blood
Appeared on the babe’s body
Without even a small scratch,
Without any prediction.
But in reality,
The blood flowed out
From the vulgur and
Pitiable wounds
Of the true love
On the body
Of the source of love.
This is what the reason of love
Found by the heart is....

Some can't imagine forever
So they came up with time and chance
The theory of evolution
Just one idea they advance
The Bible is not fantasy
Regardless what some may believe
The answers to our universe
A gift that we can all receive
Gateway to a meaningful life
It's crucial we take time to read
Although it's often misquoted
It's exactly what we all need
The book alone cannot save us
It's the marker that leads the way
To a special man named Jesus
Who did more than teach us to pray
Sacrifice gives us forever
Not limited by time and space
A special gift that we can't earn
We are all lost without his grace
Some may look at me as a fool
Who believes in a fairy tale
Still I know the reality
With my Savior I cannot fail
Don't sacrifice your forever
By believing a pack of lies
Trust in the Maker of man kind
His path is the one that is wise

As i sit with an emotional blindfold on my eyes and wearing a brick wall for a shirt i dont let anyone into my world and as dr jekyll keeps putting hallucinations lnto my thoughts i start to lose grip with reality,
And i see red and am so infuriated that i start shaking and can barely stand or move. All i can do is hope someone see's me this time the so called normal people say that nothing like this has ever happened to me. And i think about this and it enrages me to an uncontrollable phase.
*Back*to*Present*
I wake up out of my black out rage and there is blood all over in my study room and an empty gun and my shirt is torn up...
Use "Your" Imagination to figure out what happened leading up to this. and comment
