Unable To Hide

So it is apparent
More and more obvious
Almost crying out for help
Seemingly unaware
Oblivious of what is so real
On national TV
The whole world watching
Unable to hide
These Hollywood actors
And actresses
Up on the stage showcasing
Their confusion
Their insecurity in life
Existence in question
Not all of them
But almost all
Can just feel the pain
And suffering
Emotional and spiritual
Spiritual more than anything
God
Who can save them
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone?

Thank You Professor

Good evening professor
What can you teach me today?
Any words of wisdom?
Please do enlighten me
As I am not a professor like you

But you are wrong you see
I will teach you something today
That will make you a professor
Just like myself

Oh if you could please
I would be forever grateful
What is it that I have to learn
To become a professor?

Well it is very simple my padawan
Whenever you talk about anything
With anyone or in any situation
Just talk like you know it all

But...I..

No buts
Just always be ready to teach
You will see
You will feel like a pro

I see
So there really is nothing to it
Just talk like you are an expert
In anything being talked about

Precisely
You will soon realize
That the whole world is
Replete with professors

Thank you professor

No, thank you
Professor

May Be Impossible

It is hard to find these days
Someone who is genuinely nice
A person who is forgiving
Able to tolerate mistakes
Or wrongs done by others

Most seem to lie in wait
Until you make that one wrong move
And the hammer goes down
List you as one of those
And feel vindicated

Some will act nice
Not because they are truly nice
But because they know what nice is
And have the will power and desire
To act like a nice person

The distinction is blurred
And difficult to say who is what
But the key word is desire

The desire to act nice
To willfully be a nice person
Or the desire to act nice
To be perceived by others as such

The difference between
The former and the latter
Is that the latter's nice qualities
Only present when there is an audience

Then what is the difference
Between someone who is genuinely nice
From all the rest?

It is the lack of desire
For someone who is genuinely nice
There is no need for desire to be
What he or she already is

And for such people
Being nice doesn't take much effort
Always the same
With no regard to what others may think

Indeed it is hard to find
May be impossible
Even among Christians
Such a person who is like Christ
