Don't get lost in the world only to realize your bearing after life. Hold on to yourself and bear your worth here that you may have similar if not magnified control over self in the hereafter. These words truly do not denote any prophecy but a summarized interpretation of the second life.

MIND NOT

MIND NOT
Count the places that i've been
Number the things that i've seen
Just a negligible fraction of the universe and her events
But to my world of being
So many things went down the drain
Those things don't crown a king
They only make a man
It's the man that becomes king
One thing before another
Everything mixed like water
To become so elemental
Don't mind the tiny eyeballs
Mind what was seen
Don't mind the thin legs
Mind places it went

OTHER LIFE

OTHER LIFE
I believe in the world, I believe in heaven
There is paradise and there is hell
The conditions of accomodation into any
Lies in the book of prophecy
But there is a duplicate of this conditions
In the faculty of common sense,
Institution of Man

Take a big look at the big thing
Mother Earth, a big island
And nothing more than the home of life
Talent, prosperity and the rest of them
From the inside of their light
There comes a dark smoke
So thick to live and take the form of life
That was the guise
And so accomodated by blessed mother Earth

You know or you don't
You want or want not
Pick a choice, it's meant for you
The world belong to the lives we see
And some other ones that we don't
Earth is just the home of life
Man, the bravest of them all, dominates this realm
He forgot his weaknesses and that became the beginning
Terms and conditions, he stood them all

SEAL OF MUST

SEAL OF MUST
I want to see the things above from below
I want to see the world without from within
I want to see the mighty life with my two naked eyes unaided
I've been the one working my way
Places i've been kept saying my name
I'm beginning to think harder than in those days
I saw some having it as a piece of cake
What is away?
Beyond my reach and within
One way I found some pain
Alone in emotional agony
I was compelled to generate questions
But no one to give an answer
If any of my questions must be answered
Then 'must' would appear a second time
As in "I must find answers myself"
It makes it harder
Sometimes to take control of myself is funny
Die alone and resurrect alone
All I can to kill the loneliness, I did
But no single feeling of its annihilation
Maybe my efforts took another path
Now the flame comes from within me
Fire the son of ice
The dark shadow of light
Light from the shadow of darkness
Who will define me now?

OUTBURST VIII

OUTBURST VIII
I fear the lousy day would fall on me
I fear the silent night would shout at me
I fear the natural laws would reverse
I fear all of life would turn at me
To soothe my ache so I asked
How could they?
But not until I answer why me alone?
The inside world most of times
Boils like gasoline in the oven
Sleep in imagination
Wake up in the heart
That would be dream
The burden of other forms all on this vessel
I won't bend any natural law if I even could
But to reciprocate that gesture
That, a decision of a separate entity
I work, I pray and I believe
Those, to handle what they can
Perfect imperfection
Darkness and rejection
Only holy intervention
Cause of redemption
They called me a king
Like I do realise I can raise a dynasty
But how?
Inside of me
Unexplainable ambiguity
I am running low on cool

SOMEDAY

SOMEDAY TO COME
The world was born long ago
The birthday of Earth, ravelled
A lot in lines called history
It has been a tedious trip to today
The today said and all that we see
Is not the destination of Mankind
Compare modernity and anciency
You may discover the path to this age
What an intricacy
Yes, prophecy said the world shall end
That there would be another life
To mark the end of this precious one
That all of things done today shall come back in some way and someday
Man then hold a wish
Opposite to prophecy
That life to be after this
Be under the control of his intelligence
There might also be some other assertions
About the later of this place
One question for Mankind and spirits
Where is the destination of the human race?
When shall we find ourself there?
We keep going and it keeps coming
One thing probably certain
A time shall come
When tomorrow won't be what it used to be

IN TIME

IN TIME
Why the day, why the night
Why won't hustle pick another time
Like few minutes after life
The wish to be here and be there
From indigens of a race
Bound by weaknesses yet so strong
Maybe the strength would be enough someday
That'll duplicate individual will
To be there while still here
How superpowerful would it be
At times you can't help but laugh
At the limits of Man and his kind
The last order remains
'move forward'
So far the struggle keeps burning and we keep forging forward
Mindless of the boundary
Saliently or silently, we are pushing it

UNDEFINED VECTOR

OUTBURST VI (UNDEFINED VECTOR)
By the end of now
That I wish to be victory
I'd say I lost focus
But with the wish fulfilled
I'd say the special grace intervened
It worked for me
And i'm still in line
I took what is for what is not
It doesn't make me define life
But at least feel it's sting
Just like the men of the throne
I was almost choiceless though
Now people would blame me now
Nothing could be clearer now
Than the messages from the dreams
Maybe I wouldn't bother to see them
If the glitch hadn't come in place
Now I can tell if you are fake
And i'm your friend if you are real
Rough, tough and analytically nice
My faults remain what you said
And not the hidden mystery in the subject
I'll make a movie of the story
From Internal Entertainment Production
Then keep it only in my heart
And watch it on repeat too
