Face Life the Real Way (Poem)

He came into this life,

With atrocities of every kind,

As all he wanted was a life

Free of trouble 

And heartache.

As he was looking for freedom, 

And inner peace,

He was bound by beatings, 

inferiority 

And abuse. 

He then reverted to alcohol, 

All day and all night,

As he was looking for stillness,

And couldn’t find it at home.

He then sank into this pit,

Of self-destruction 

And maze,

He couldn’t get out,

So he drank and smoked pot 

To relieve the pain. 

Numbness was his stillness, 

Until he developed 

Health problems, and this overwhelming sadness.

He was feeling empty,  

All this time, 

He was reverting to alcohol and drugs

To numb the pain.

Then one day, 

A lady came into his life,

Loved him like no other ever did.

Taught him self-love, 

How to appreciate the moment,

Finally he was happy and felt understood.

He never understood, 

Why he was brought up this way, 

But he knew this young lady 

Was a gift from God, till this day.

He then said to himself, 

No longer will I numb the pain, 

From this dark cloud,

Of self-destruction and maze.

Despite the troubles, 

I still see beauty in the world,

Despite its imperfections,

And I choose, to face life this way.

Seeking Peace and Unity (Poem)

We don’t understand the impact of our words.

Our actions spit out prejudice and malice 

Among others,

Through nothing but ancestry and culture,

And skin on our bones.

Nation after nation, 

We create our own competition, 

Seeking one way to live, 

One truth to accept, 

Altering the meaning of prophesies into lies.

We don’t understand the impact of our words. 

Our words spit out racism and slurs, 

Not considering the lives 

We affect,

Through prejudice and conflict and war.

We create havoc among each other,

Sleep walking and bashing each other, 

To win some contest of better or not.

Let’s not forget our core,

Our reason for being,

To live peacefully 

As brothers and sisters, 

Let’s not contradict through lies.

 

Praising Falun Gong (Sonnet)

Let’s sing a song of praise for Falun Gong,

In China, on the other side of the globe.

A practice of truthfulness and compassion,

A group who seeks peace and forbearance. 

They are tortured, brainwashed and killed, 

In a nation constantly under attack.

CCP coerces them to give in,

And subject them to acts of cruelty.

Though true to their beliefs, 

They’ll even risk death and torture,

To proclaim freedom and peace.

How has the world become so corrupt?

Will it take another few million dead?

Or will we stop it before the next?
