Ring of Fire

We want to be unshackled,
we want to run anywhere our heart desires,
unbound by law and be free.

Yet we never know the ring of fire,
all around us,
burning deadly.

We are at the center,
untouched by the fire,
where the grass is not burnt,
and the water is cold.

We break through the gates,
that holds us in,
in the name of liberation,
we march ahead.

The direction is not clear,
we have never been here,
we believe we can find our way,
but lost further astray.

We despise safety that much,
we throw it away and we run away from it,
towards the ring of fire.

And when we step into the ring of fire,
we taste the overwhelming heat,
the excitement of burning desire,
reduces us to tiny bits.

Because we love the cheers that we get from running towards the fire.

Hypocancer

Hypocrisy is like cancer.
Everyone has it in its dormant state.

Some may have died without seeing it.
Some may have it triggered and activated.
Some may have seen it in others.
Some may have experienced it themselves.

While many people deny its existence,
yet it's there inside them,
waiting the time to come out and show.

Hypocrisy is like cancer.
No absolute cure.
Therapy works, somehow.
Prevention, too.

And for those unfortunate people,
living with this hypocancer,
some die as a hypocrite,
some emerge as survivors.

Hypocrisy is like,
cancer.

Shadow never lies.

The Tangible Answers

As humans, we expect tangible answers and replies,

those that we can see and hear, 

directly sent to us right after.

It's hard for us to recite a prayer,

we don't want to wait,

we're impatient.

We don't like to think,

we want an easy thing,

as the solution.

Perhaps that's the answer for all,

of the staring at the screen,

of the waiting for the phone to ring,

of the endless talking.

Too bad God doesn't work on social medias.

Because I suppose He has His own way of replying to your requests.
