   THE WORLD ON ITS KNEES

The peasants, the destitute, the poor
The rich, the powerful, and those who still want more
World full of discrimination, hatred and anger
world full of poverty, corruption and hunger
Uncountable number of people who are in need
And those who can afford, satisfy only their greed
Some people are stepping on the right way
Most of them (indulged with worldly things) go astray
And with the conflicts, violence, genocide, and war
I often wonder, what are they really for
If people would stop thinking about their wealth
And would start considering other people's health
And if people can stop being so ignorant
And try hard to be more tolerant
And if people will stop being so demanding
And become more understanding
And if people can stop differentiating
And learn how to be more appreciating
If and only if all these ugly acts will be at ease
Then the world wouldn't be down on its knees.......

    Hard Love

TLove is the one and only thing
That can break my strapping wing
It hurts so much, i can not sing..........
No more can I soar or fly away
This is so sad to tell, so sad to say
You left my broken heart alone to decay.........
A mistake it was that I gave you my heart
Shouldn't have loved you from the very start
And now, my whole world is torn apart..........
My world that used to be so free
My world that red roses bloomed continuously
My world that love smeared all so beautifully......
The hope for another one in my life seem so faint
Because it seemed you were a saint
I guess that was what my heart wanted to paint..........
I never knew that love would one day have me so blind
I use to imagine love being easy, endless and so kind
Now I understand why they say ; true love is hard to find..........

   A GIRLS' PRIDE

She walks with her head up high
She walks tall with her back straight
Looking straight ahead of her
With her eyes glittering like the stars
Every man, noble,poor, big, small, young and old
Know the story of her that has been told
A girl very difficult known to every man
A young girl that is not known to any man
Men move aside letting her pass through
As she magestically glides past them, they stare
Stare with admiration and respect, wishing and praying
Praying that one day she will be the mother of their children
Mother of their children.....Their wife....
Their wife, that girl walking tall and proud...

   THE FIRST

Only God knows what you are like
Over and over I see your blurry face
Over and over I dream of holding you tight
I keep seeing me holding you so tight, so close
So close that I feel every beat of your heart
For the first time I see love in a different view
For the very first time I feel love in a unique, unexplainable way
Even though, I don't have you yet
The love that will enchance between us
Will be brighter than the the sun, bigger than the universe
The love between us will be more colorful than the rainbow
More dazzling than the most brilliant shooting star
Even though it has only been in dreams that I've touched you
I have already made solemn promises to you
That I will be the best thing in your life
You will always have my world to drown in
Other promises upon promises that have no bound, no limit
All to be fufilled for you ---- I promise
All for you and will always be there for you
My first unborn child..........
