when equal IS NOT fair

you divide the electric bill by equal parts
so each of you (housemates) pays the same amount
regardless of the electric equipment used and the hours of usage.
bang! that's when 'equal' isn't fair!

you divide the day's allowance by equal parts
so each of you (siblings) gets the same amount
regardless of the fare and the physiological needs of each.
bang! that's when 'equal' isn't fair!

you give your students the same high grade (academic score)
so each of them gets to get good marks
regardless of their research output or efforts in class.
bang! that's when 'equal' isn't fair!

bang! bang! bang!

nothingness

It's nothing but a circle
and a cycle on and on and on and on
you - being born, you-living, you-loving, you-hurting
you-giving up or you- loving/living some more.
you are there, they can see
they can feel 'coz you are there...and then you're gone
you aren't there, they can't see
they can't feel 'coz you aren't there even if you know you still are there
you are gone, even if you are not
gone gone gone
and the cycle goes on and on and on and on
you, and that circle have become one or... nothing.
Ah, nirvana.

don't wake me up

Write everything...

Let it all out...

Fifteen years in the making,

the story in my mind...

No good use in pretending.

Happiness, at times

is an elusive dream...

Yet, you keep on dreaming

Yet, you keep believing...

one day soon

Those who have brains

will think

Those who have lips

will speak

Those who have hearts

will feel

Those who have hands

will work... for peace. 

For peace, in and out.

Write everything...

right now, or forever be shushed.

Let it all out or

it will blow off, inside.

Like fireworks.

Like fire that doesnt work.

Fifteen years in the making.

Happiness, at times

is a beautiful, wonderful dream.

But for now... let me 

let me not let go of the pains

let me not let go of life

let me not let go of the dream

Let me dream and

Let me write...everything.

Let me sleep.

Let me be...

Let it be.

and if it is not too much

not too much to ask...

please dont wake me up.
