"WHY BADSTUFF HAPPENS, " by[b] Ogaga Onowighose[/b] If it weren't for my beautiful sad mother drinking a cold malta guinness when I was three, I wouldn't have learned she could both love and abandon me in one hot severe breath. Nor would I have grown flowers in my heart for people who urgently want to die. If I had not broken my leg in a wild fall, I wouldn't have learned that stark physical pain is, to my great surprise, not permanent. If I hadn't fallen in love with someone who didn't love me, I would never have realized that unrequited love is still an ecstatic dance of the heart. If I hadn't encountered praise and blame, success and failure, heat and cold, darkness and light, blows and kisses, pain and bliss, never would I have found out that through it all there is a Spirit within me which remains unceasingly alive and loving. If I hadn't received the gift of knowing you, I would not have come to realise that our stories are different in details, but never in essence. If I hadn't lived through an era of hurting I would never have met the changes of being fed with kindness by a friend. If I hadn't discovered that you and I are two threads in the same vast cloth, I would have remained forever lost and imprisoned in my separate universe. If I hadn't seen both good and evil occupying space in the same event, I would never have met the hand of humour painting over these polarities with new clarity and light. If I hadn't wept a thousand tears over the loss of a beloved, I would never have been driven inward to find the eternal companion, my Soul. If I had not witnessed cruelty and man's inhumanity to man, I would not have been forced to look beneath the ugliness of fear, and encounter the common Heart that lies beneath it. If I hadn't encountered our myriad differences, I would never have discovered that you and I are not two, but infinite sparks of love ever arising from one indestructible Flame. And if I hadn't felt abandoned and heartsick, I would never have heard the wordless whisper of an abiding, unseeable Friend, who translated the feeling of alone into All One. |

ure pretty deep, what is life to me, joyous laughter or faded dreams words lose their meaning actions their substance,each day is the next,unending circle of insomaniac nights,amnesic days what is death to me, a tragic end,or eventual peace, seductive fingers stroke me and whisper, come to sleep, in my arms you will lay, ur questions wont need answers,ur tears wont need sadness, and your sleep will be your peace the poem was just a spur of a moment thing,ur first poem was my muse |

The world is changing, we keep learning new things,* in our life,dont sit down and delay your time,cause it wont wait for you. Many said i have changed,but i think now i found myself,the world may be complicated,but we can still arrange it., time wait for no one,our time is Now!!., Be Yourself,be Original,never immitate at all,and see!. though everyone own a dept to death,why cant we pay it back.? Sincerely speaking we came to trade in this world,Enjoy urself,bacause when you're gone is Over!,obey your mind today!.dont allow anybody to rule over you,claiming somebody is coming to save you?.pure lies! .they're life twister's!. how i wish everyone on earth can be like me,the world would have been a better place. Money rule the world,if they claim someone rules,why are they seaching for money?. Real people must definately inherit greatness. |

didnt feel the second one as much, what lies beneath the silent skies Illusion or Reality its unyielding ears cannot hear the cries Blind to deaths fields and the innocents rape baseless existence seperated by its coldness,full of silence from the warriors who die from your cause will you fight for us? searching for answers in troubled dreams in justifiable deeds In the eyes of your prophets is it cynicsm i see or the fear that they themselves are lost eternity flutters in sleep arms, eternity answers this quest |
