Confidence

I am always on course 
Living life with no remorse 
Life is like a push and pull force
You only get back what you toss

That which alters not the thoughts,
Yet gives it a try and confidence should be a better fate!


It's a Must

It's a must  to die!!
A must to rise!!
A must to read 
A must to interpret!!
It's all a must for the sun to smile!!!!

if you are sick
go not to a doctor
approach a politician
he will preach patriotism
that you die in peace

They have a poor education
The crime rate is high
And they steal

Where did Jesus live?
