Ode To Smartness

Some people are all Smartness;
Their brains are so convoluted
Under straight curves
Producing all kinds of trivialities
In hackneyed lines; 
Darn, they are good!

Premium Member Stop Meddling

Who is it you're trying to please 
by meddling with such trivialities
Now you're fixin what isn't broken
and ignoring those who've spoken

What priorities are of value to you
seem to be usless to at least a few
people who see no need for change
those who find it weird and strange

The Bench

The Bench

Here sits a man in a park
lost for the world,
he was trying to break down banalities.
Not knowing that 99% of our daily
conversations consist of trivialities,
Without this safety valve
people would be trying too hard to say
something sensible 
and end up alone in a park

Destitutions Curse

A wakeful man riding
Constant terminal dusk
Coveting dawns glow

Conqueror of rapacity
Constructing his empire
Of gold and silvers avarice 

Feigning his thrill of life
So spuriously rehearsed
In his eyes they are trivialities

Only now he sees the truth
In the darkness of his sepulcher
Surrounded by his useless wealth

Friendship

The friends talking
Talking catching up
Catching up trivialities
Trivialities exchanged
Exchanged with ease

For they are partaking joy
Joy of friendship and love
Love of seeing missed ones
Its what drives this bond
A bond pleasurable delightful

You have to look into their eyes
To realize they feel deeply yes
For each other at times this bond
superseded the overrated bond of love
Ascribed through the lens of soap opera

Premium Member The Days Dwindle

The days dwindle to a precious few
  The old year like lightning speedily flew
A bright new year's poised to push on through
  But first is conducted a thorough review
 
Our deeds weighed, the bad with the good
  Against what we would do if we could
Unlock the potential that lies dormant inside us
  At the expense of trivialities superfluous

Awakening

Lost and inappropriate,
my lips spoke trivialities,
my hapless heart was inarticulate.
Fearfully I fumbled through 
my hazy days, spoiling opportunities, 
urgently hoping they wouldn't pick me.
A wraith within a wraith, I flittered by 
commitment like a man without a plan; 
I only knew the pleasures of denial, 
'til I was pushed into the present by
a crushing ultimatum, compelling me 
to find my way alone, now I greet 
each morning with a smile!

Lessons Learned In Life - For Contest

"You don't learn anything about life in school"

It
is not
your schooling
which is the key
to education,
or the ability
to commit to memory
ten thousand trivialities
through ten years of indoctrination
which will prepare you for the road ahead;
it is in the appreciation
that such knowledge becomes wisdom
when at last you recognise
that life is not a game,
though the insights gained
from your tutors
may get you
in the
team.

What Matters Most

To see what matters most in Life
I weighed the things inside my heart
What many treasures may impart
Importance there,  to shed some light.
I took out most trivialities
Got rid of mundane, trifling matters
Found there the root of iniquities
Was the "I, the me, and mine" affairs.
By choice, purged out the hindrances
To everything that makes me whole,
Set free from all encumbrances
At last found Peace there for my soul.

Awakening

Drifting, misappropriated,
my lips spoke trivialities,
my hapless heart was inarticulate.

Fearfully I fumbled through 
each day, frittering opportunities, 
fervently hoping they wouldn't pick me.

A wraith within a wraith, I flittered by 
commitment like a man without a plan; 
I only knew the pleasures of avoidance, 

'til I was pushed into the present by
a crushing ultimatum, compelling me 
to find my way alone, now I greet 
each morning with a smile.

Dreams of the Coming Night

Damn, if the days don't seem a little brighter 
        I think that the muse is something which casts its rays carefully
Moonlight shines bright 
its rays dance along the sidewalk 
Need a new lover!
The time we spend on trivialities 
   eats away on our basic needs 
  which are love and peace 
A pair of darting eyes glowing in the evening 
   is what I really need now 
Don't mind if I stumble a bit on the path to true joy 
    which is JUST AROUND THE CORNER

A True Hero

Hail the hero who embraces troubles.
He does not make troubles.

He may be challenged by adversities.
He would rather ignore all trivialities. 

He would strive to make history.
He is willing to die for others to tell his story.

He upholds and treasures his inferiors
He upholds and pleasures his superiors.

He is the first to give, no matter the stake
He is always the last to take.

His contentment knows no bounds. 
He is the true leader, he can go for countless rounds.

Men's Lies

Men
make
promises
they tend
not to keep
and
Naiive
girls
smile
bearing forth
their
fragile
hearts
waiting for
their
time to come
when they will fall in love
and
MEN
will
admire
your
beauty
present you
with
compliments.
Such
Surface
trivialities
Words
are
after said and done
Meaningless
And
actions
without the
Most
modest
Intentions
Are still lies.
and
With
Kisses
so
empty
I
choke
on
the
absense
of
truths.

I am
done
with
mens
Lies.
