Silent Mind

I have only one voice,

It has been grossly misused,

For idle chatter and gossip.

 

I have only one mind,

In it I have conquered evil,

And brought peace to mankind.

 

Alas, the world can not hear my mind.

 

One True Hate

They say there is one true love for everyone,

That leaves a lot of room for hate.

I would rather one true hate for everyone,

So that we could love all the rest.

Where does happiness reside?

In sun filled days of my youth

The far and distant place where I grew up

In melodies of beautiful tunes

Flickering in and out of my conscious mind

In careless hours spent with my siblings

In a feverish daze curled up in my mother’s arms

My own childhood laughter

In a place I refuse to let go

It is in the memory of yesterday

But only in the hope for tomorrow

In the bliss of ignorance

Coz there is none in knowing it all

I now know where happiness resides

Only in my nostalgic mind.
