Ang Alamat ng Buwis-Buhay

Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang parang nais mamatay
Gawain man o hindi ay “Buwis-Buhay”?

Kapag gawain mo ay delikado
Pauyam nila itong ikokomento
Parang sinasabing walang kwenta
Kahit mamatay ka pa

Gaya ng aking 2014 Social Experiment
Na educational ang intent
Pero andaming nagcomment
Na ipakatay pa rao ako to that extent

Buwis-Buhay nga! (nganga)
Bukambibig ng VICE na maGANDA
Sa mga kalahok na peligroso
Ang mga talent sa show

Kahanga-haNGA NGA pero kalurkey
Parang ung efforts ni Empress Ki
Pa-epal daw kasi kaya impressive
Kapalmuks daw kaya expressive

Matindi ang kapit parang tuko
Kahit 2013 pa ang “Let it go!”…
Ni Elsa sa malamig na kastilyo
Parang 1994 Elsa Castillo

Portrayed by Kris Aquino!
Wag RAo manlaban sa power ng YElLOw
BoomPanis lang… Walang laban
Kahit sumabog pa ang Bulkan…

Premium Member Your Time Is Limited

Your life is the full world, the stars, sun, and moon.
On your own, you can fight the tough times real soon.
Unsteady moves can't let you up the ladder; never tone down.
Rarely will we meet; we set the lousy goal to impugn.

Tacked and seated, man has doubts around his destiny.
In the universe, all is set by its needs, not by inerrancy.
Memories of agony and misery are not murky.
Emotions disguise behind words, extort repay.

Important to be happy, do what you love, and you will succeed.
Share your calmness, work for success, and greater reward.

Love the holiest stars; you will get a reverse welt.
In the trials of life, sync up to the ethical dealt.
Muttering stops; the sun has faded to that extent.
If your core tilts to life, brave vitality, faith will last.
Time is short; live the life of no one or precept.
Enduring one's own goal, expect to aim too tight.
During your life, believe yet not fall into the urge to defect.

Inward Or Outward

Inwardly mostly content
Outwardly not quite to that extent
Inwardly I don't have to interact with those not like minded
Outwardly I have to see, hear, and feel those the world has blinded.
Inwardly I can assess all that I consume
Outwardly life does t allow that much time or room.
Inwardly I know how I feel and adjust accordingly
Outwardly the emotions hit me so fast almost as if assaulting me.


I Love My Lover To What Extent and Why

I love my lover 
                                           for her beautiful alluring face
                                             for her nice style of talking
                                              for her standard of living
                                               for her choices alike me
                                               for her status in society
                                            for her attitudes towards me
                                                 I don't know for what

                                                    I love myself first
                                             with in the campus of that
                                      I keep my all desires and philosophy
                                            I see her from my own angle 
                                                which is suited to me
                                          if favored to my own likeness
                                               to that extent I love her
                                               is it not true and selfish

Ups

People paid a premium
So gifts would be on time.
Many never made it, though,
Which seems a Christmas crime.

Charging extra means to me
You plan to keep your word.
Saying “sorry” can’t correct
The letdown that occurred.

Spokesmen said they hadn’t planned
On how much people sent,
So workers handled what they could
But not to that extent.

Apologies will not suffice
For there are many frowns
From customers who think that UPS
Should change its name to DOWNS!

I Am Confused

I have tried and I think I have tried
When you fail they are notified
When you shout they are silent
I will shout to that extent
You can live to tell
And forget to dwell
Among which is most significant
And mislead him who is so infant

I have tried and I think I have
Yet nothing farsighted I preserve
I am confused
Do not be amused
I have these three quick response letters
To my people, enemies and debtors
That each time I meet my people,
I am confused
Each time I meet my enemies
I am confused
And am going to meet my debtors

Near the Whole Truth

A self being is strong to that extent to which that being lies near the whole truth

One Remains Happy

One remains happy with another to that extent up to which their thoughts, characters and manners remain similar

Inspiration Kick Push Lupe Fiasco

Kopastetic
Not even barely breathing chest thumping like a tamburine n
Trying to be decent 
But the whole situation has my chest wheezing head pounding heart leaking for what a bloodclot reason.
The explanation was just weak why not admit defeat when got the speaking
It just ain't kosher if shoe was on the other foot I'd be bowled over tenderized n put in the George forman 
roll-toaster-ry
Open dialect with open mindedness
Even said of how I'm understanding this 
Even tho I was so heated I was shaking n 
This isn't the end becuz it was turned around on me of past tense 
I couldn't even believe this but it did
Get to that extent
Yet it made no sense I open up this hidden agenda that wouldn't have been exposed if I wouldn't have 
looked for why my body had sleep kept from me ......peace
