Earth

Mankind! Long before your birth,
Alluring was the beauty of Mother Earth.
She bore living things of all kinds.. Plants and insects, animals and birds.
All, an exotic reflection of her biodiversity,
A diversity you have chosen to destroy!
Why.. Mankind.. Why?

Mankind! Onto the face of the earth you strolled in,
Bringing up the rear in all her children.
You were meant to be the pride of all creation,
But you chose to be the bane of life by bringing destruction.
Why.. Mankind.. Why?

Mankind! To all life, Mother Earth has been so kind!
Like the mother hen she nurtured her little chicks with affection,
As she toiled to provide food season after season with dedication.
Even to you Mankind, she gave the best in proportion,
Only to be sentenced by your actions in damnation!
Why.. Mankind.. Why?

Mankind! You were created to walk but you chose to walk and fly!
If only you flew like a bird, it might just have been perfect.
But No! You fly in all sorts exuding all sorts.
Now Mother Earth is filled with all sorts because you choose to ride in all sorts.
Why.. Mankind.. why?

Mankind! You have an insatiable desire to acquire.
You plunder the earth with impunity,
Oil, coal and iron you chase in disunity,
Fighting even your own kind for control and quantity,
Just to live a life of environmental insanity!
Why.. Mankind.. Why?

Mankind! Perhaps you have forgotten so soon!
The La NiƱa drought of 2000, the heat wave in Europe in 2003,
The tragedy of the cyclone in Myanmar in 2008, the constant melting of polar ice caps,
All a consequence of your actions and inactions!
You leave the problems for tomorrow’s generation
Running away for your present tribulation.
Why.. Mankind.. Why?

Mankind! When will you repent of your evil ways?
When will you stop biting the hands that have fed you?
When will you love mother earth like she loves you?
And stop writing her dirge with your actions?
Mother earth looks upon you with her painful eyes
Sobbing and asking you why,
Why.. Mankind.. Why?

Miss You

The morning sun fades away,
Only to start another day.

A clock goes tick, the heart goes thump,
For seconds, days, and endless months.

Life cannot be without these it’s true,
But I have no need for them without you.

When You Felt Unhappy

When u felt unhappy,
Remember me one time,
And remember our life,
Where we spent our days.

Once again please see the sky,
Where lots of star twinkle,
One of them is me,
When you felt unhappy,
See the sky and remember our life.

The road where we walk,
The trees where we sit,
Are being destroy,
Please don’t felt unhappy,
I would be in your heart,
Please touch your heart,
When you felt unhappy,
See the sky and remember our life.

Moon Shy

Dark clouds racing across the sky,
True love began to fly,
In a love nest so dry.

The sky has gone from blue to gray,
The sun tried to peek through,
But the only sunshine in the room today,
Was my darling you.

The day turned into a night so crisp and cold,
A million stars dotted the sky,
On my sweetheart and I they did spy,
While the moon seemed shy.

Real Love

Love that soars above the clouds,
Love that knows no bounds.
Love that always brings a smile.
Love that never goes out of style.

Love that stays around for a while,
Love that brings a beautiful child.
Love that lasts for life,
Love that binds a husband and wife.
This is real love.

Leave Me Alone

Whenever I wake I hate to hear your voice,
I walk along the streets all I hear is your voice,
As I stroll down the park you ruin my mood just go away,
When I get home your there I tell you to leave,
I know longer here your voice I miss it so much,
But don’t ever come back please.
