War

I am not a poet
Nor an author
But I look at the sky
I forecast the weather

Dark days are ahead, friends
It is going to rain
Look at the cloudy sky
It tells of weeks of coming pain

No, years rather
For the east wind is on us
A bullet for you, brother
Every fine home shall rust

So be good, reader
There is no excuse in war
It hears from no one
Neither looks at tears

Humility

Having a strong personality
That does not boast
Of your skill or ability
Be it stronger than most

However well you make
A cup of hot tea
No more of it speak
Than is necessary

Look at the shining stars
In the cloudy sky
They shine at all hours
Elusive to every passer-by

Even though you be blind
She is strong on the inside
Look, and you do not find
Wisdom in places far and wide

The one who boasts
Is not humble
He is brittle and lost
And often stumbles
