Obed dela Cruz Poems

I want to understand why some things don't go my way,
For I want to see visions beyond the silver bliss.

And discerned how late the time is.
Awakened by a shofar,
They know it’s not a time of peace.

Among a handful of options.

Jupiter, Jupiter you’re big and famous.

Up and up we must go.
Development we must show.

And these famous applied methods
Start to lose its relevance
Then these measures, I disobey.

No planet shall be greater than earth.
Earth may not be huge but it has worth.
No other planet can support a man’s life
Because earth is where the mortals survive.

It is a poison from a venomous snake
And saying it is a terrible mistake.
You should blame foolishness for its existence
Because it hinders a hand to reach success.
