My world look like a shaft
lost in the peril of troubled waters
and here i am, i can't swim.
but as I drown in turn and thoughts
...
My eyes are for seeing,
but if it's not
I am not better than the blind.
We both saw a grain of bean
...
Beauty sing in rhythm
of love, peace and passion.
Yet no one care to listen
as her soul unleash joy.

Wall Of Frustration
My world look like a shaft
lost in the peril of troubled waters
and here i am, i can't swim.
but as I drown in turn and thoughts
A sincere word from a dying father
and a genuine love shown by a mother
shone like rainbow among my dark clouds
My son! Love yourself enough to love others.
This put my piece in pairs of hope
It beats the shuddered roaring storm.
If your thoughts really build a house, then let your hands lay it's foundation.
If the devil present the world to you in a blank cheque, be ready to cash it with your life.
