And Counting Stars

People love to sit around
And discuss everything
From news to sports
To food and clothing
Anything that can be discussed
Pretty much everything
Are discussed

And debated
Spending hours and hours
Over the radio, TV, or anywhere
Talking and talking
Analyzing, criticising, praising
Some getting paid for doing it

When the time is up
There is no conclusion
No action
Nothing comes out of it
Other than having said all that there is to be said

Until next time
Next day 
Next topic

Often amounting to nothing
More than just a time filler
Like looking at the sky
And counting stars

Bon Voyage

People travel all the time
From one place to another
To see the wonders
To broaden their mind
To experience life they say

Mostly by rich people
Who can afford the cost of traveling
People who have vacations
Or just spare time and money
With or without a job

But honestly
Even if you travelled every corner
Saw the wonders of the world
More than eight times over

Your mind would not be any different
Other than having memories
Gotten older
And pictures that will get filed away

And the satisfaction of having travelled
Will not last long

So you go again
To stimulate your mind
To spend some more time
And spare money

Again and again

And again

Bon Voyage

Good Luck With That

No matter how much
How desperately sought
Ceaselessly endeavored
To stay young
Live long
And cling to this life

You are one day closer today
Than you were yesterday
To face the truth
To finally know

Whether you were right all along
About the after life

Whether you will spend the eternity
In hell or heaven or something else
Or just cease to exist
Become nothing

Like the blind man walking
Ever so carefully
Wishing there is no cliff

But no matter what you wish for
What you believe
Or hope for
The truth will not change

Good luck with that

That Ye

If there is one thing
That people genuinely do not want 
Is to admit the facts
That will reveal the painful truth

People will rationalize
Justify
And even scientifically theorize
Or hypothesize

To explain why
Things are the way they are
It is a defense mechanism

But there is really 
Absolutely no other reason
Why a Christian cannot walk on water
Or heal the sick
Like Jesus Christ did

Other than the truth
That ye
Lack genuine faith



And What Might That Be?

Everywhere
From the gatherings of brilliant minds
To gatherings of not so brilliant

From teachers to students
To priests and pastors
And everyone else
With beating hearts

Like the stale air that covers
Every nook and cranny
Everywhere there is
Shady evil corruption

Like the spinning compass
Unable to find the North
Confused dazed and tired
Not knowing anything other than

More more more
Money, power, prestige
Comfort, luxury, satiety

Everyone basking in their own glory
And self righteousness
So proud to be
And what might that be?

If it was bad two thousand years ago
It is much worse now
And getting worse by the minute
