Indeterminate Confusion

Days come and go
No beginning and no end
I’m spinning round and round
Getting dizzy and confused.

Being pulled apart
Left or right beckons on me
Backward or forward entices me
Where will I go?

Being ruined, piece by piece
Catching my falling self
Trying to stand
With my remaining will.

I wouldn’t want to go
Emaciated to the bone
Disappearing into thin air
My clothes flapping in the wind.

Faith Exercised

Faith is believing without seeing. It is the acceptance of what reason cannot perceive. In the matter of religion, it is undeniable that a great number of believers are unable to formulate reasons for their belief or to express verbally what they firmly stand. Yet believing is a principle of action. It does not need demonstrations as science does, it is an act of putting it into action.

If for instance faith were synonymous with scientific knowledge, there would be very few true believers. Only a handful of men that can reason out their belief are called as such. They would be identical with theologians and even philosophers who are always "hungry" for unexplained reasonableness of a thing. In fact, to demand a scientific demonstration of faith is unreal because this is based on the idea of how the mind ought to behave instead of investigating how it actually did.

Simple people, as a general rule, never try to question the validity of their faith. Simply because there is no need for them to do so. Thus, they are looked down upon because of their strong hold of their inner faith. Yet, we can say that faith is a personal conviction as knowledge is.

Faith then is an act of the mind exercised by reason. It does not have to be explicit to be reasonable. Implicit reasoning alone is an intellectual act complete in itself.

Reinvented Me

Once I was nobody. Once I felt small...and then... I realized I can be somebody. To go beyond what I thought I was. Everything around is changing - the people, the landscape, the world. I had to change. To stretch myself to the limit and pursue what life offers. I looked in the mirror and saw that I can reinvent myself. This belief pushed me to where I am now and where I dream to be..

Adrift Ship

Time will tell
If life is real
Make it true
When it is due

No man's land
In your command
Tried and tested
This is not contested.

Poker Face

All time serious
Is that your face?
No smile escapes your lips
When someone says hello, you glide your eyes away

Do you know?
In time you’ll get old and gray
Don’t run after the wrinkles
Old age catches you quickly

Get warm and be true
Warm your inside chill and spill the ice
Soft hearts are better
Than a cold stare turned to stone
