The Best Enemy.

You are the best friend to the boys.
You harboured them without saying no
Who at night or day gathered at your feet.
Who now dwells in your own towns,
But praying in the bush always,
Without the purpose of existence.

They said, they are coming for blessing,
And you will gladly accept them too.
You bless very little and but kill many,
But you said, you are their best friend.

Boys, who come to you white in the morning,
And later became very black in the evening,
Like a charcoal from a quiet oven.
Wearing different masks of abnormalities.

Boys, who shed many tears in solitude,
Who agree inside and to disagree outside,
Finding no other route from you,
They are the boys lost in the forest.
You neither help them nor show the way.
But you said, you are their best friend.

I see some of your tears in many colour,
And your tears has reached the world,
That makes the rivers that filled the earth.
Coz' you have not learn to make out your own.

Boys, where you are now is not your own,
And you do not own yourself all alone.
Only you have the power to change the route,
So that others can clearly follow you.

Universal Remote If I was in control If the remote was in my grasp I will aim it The Channel I would change it Change it to back in the days When we were on the same page You'll be programmed To no man Except me ... Coincidently As I am reminded I would rewind I would use my heart as my guide Re-run when we had the best times Record it Fall back in love by the adornment Recollect the enjoyment But most important, I would record over the reasons for exploring I would delete everything that was annoying I would mute all of the distracting noises And I would have never pressed input Therefore I couldn't have played games with you I would have turned it to channel 5683 And pressed enter Just like Lifetime It's love Then I would have stopped it there And stared in your face Clasp my hands together Say my grace Press play Do the right things Turn on the captions And watch what I say Fast forward to today Now the scenes are; our stomachs aching from laughter We act like nothing ever happened So we can live happily ever after
