Another year goes by
Like a gust of wind
No matter how good
No matter how bad
Rich or poor
Educated or uneducated
Pretty or ugly
Strong or weak
Tall or short
Fit or unfit
No matter what race
No matter what gender
Happy or sad
Angry or calm
Nice or unpleasant
Humble or arrogant
Honest or dishonest
Faithful or unfaithful
Wise or foolish
Saved or unsaved
No matter what anything
The year goes by
Then another
And another
Without pause
Without delay
Without rewind
Without fast forward
Until it is time
To see the truth

Doing Exact Opposite
Who can fathom the wisdom of God
Who made the Earth and the Heaven
All living creatures
And man and woman
How can anyone lengthen a day
Or even one minute
Of their allotted time on this Earth
And take the credit for its length
What good is faith
If it cannot move mountains
Or walk on water
Heal the sick
Loud is the proclamation
Of faith and love
Only where there is no challenge
To their faith or love
Hatred overshadowing love
Greed overshadowing generosity
Arrogance overshadowing humility
Doubt overshadowing faith
Not knowing their God
Is also the God of their neighbor
Doing exact opposite
Of what was told
Matthew 16:25

The Only Point In Time
When a person is young
The mind ages faster
Than actual physical age
And call it mature
When a person is old
The body ages faster
Than the mind
And call it immature
At some point in between
The age of the body
And the age of the mind
Coincides before crossing over
Exactly at which point
This occurs varies
From person to person
Young to old
Depending on how mature
Or immature that person is
Relative to how physically young
Or old that person is in age
The only point in time
Where the body and the mind
Is in harmony

Free From The Chains
The sooner you realize
No one really gives shit
About what you wear
Where you live
Or what you have
Other than showing
Perfunctory short lasting
Ooh aah or wow
That bears as much meaning
As a rock sitting on a hill
Albeit perhaps
With fleeting satisfaction
The sooner you will stop
Trying to impress others
Living life for other people
And start living life
Without wasting so much
Time, money, and energy
Free from the chains
Of vanity
Or conspicuity
No one really gives shit

Cast The First Stone
So it begins
One after another
Like the domino
Falling onto the next one
Then the one after
On and on until
The last domino has fallen
Obviously no one cares
When it comes to retribution
Other than to punish whoever
Is on deck whose secrets are
Promulgated while their own
Secrets are guarded and hidden
No one daring to remember
What Jesus said
That the one who has no sin
Cast the first stone
One after another
Like the domino
Falling onto the next one
Then the one after
On and on until
The last domino has fallen
Obviously no one cares
When it comes to retribution
Other than to punish whoever

But Lo And Behold
There is proper way
Of doing almost all things
Like the triple axle jump
Placing roof tiles
Taking appendix out
Climbing a mountain
Not because someone
Just decided to call it proper
But as a result of many many
Years of refinement
Having made countless mistakes
Leading to best result possible
Such that if one followed
Instructions of proper method
Same mistakes would not be made
Time certainly not wasted
And results would be satisfying
But lo and behold
More like no and lament
People do not follow such instructions
Have no desire to follow
Have no understanding why
And have no respect for proper ways
Blatantly disregarding such ways
Ending up with a disaster
Let alone perfections
Either having to live with
Less than satisfying outcomes
Or start all over again
Having wasted so much time
What is this but a human folly
The fruit of human arrogance
Hopeless human pride
And stubbornness
Of doing almost all things
Like the triple axle jump
Placing roof tiles
Taking appendix out
Climbing a mountain
Not because someone
Just decided to call it proper

Or Hell
Looks can be deceiving
Beautiful on the outside
But ugly on the inside
Knowledge can be deceiving
Rendering one to feel smart
Yet lacking wisdom
Money can be deceiving
As the key for happiness
That it cannot buy
Love can be deceiving
That often leads to marriage
Ending up in divorce
Life can be deceiving
With inevitable death
Only to live again
Forever in heaven
Or hell
Beautiful on the outside
But ugly on the inside
Knowledge can be deceiving

May Life Go On
Who can know the secrets
The beginning of universe
And its end
Life realized
And no more
Without warning
So fragile its time
So short its length
To be foreshortened
May life go on
Forever in heaven
For those who have
Lost it too soon
The beginning of universe
And its end
Life realized
And no more
Without warning
So fragile its time
So short its length

May life go on
Forever in heaven

Until That Day
It is better to not do
What is bad for you
Than to not do
What is good for you
But it is easier to not do
What is good for you
Than to not do
What is bad for you
Which is to say
It is easier to do
What is bad for you
Than to do
What is good for you
If such was not the case
The whole world would be
A better place to live
As humans naturally gravitate
To do what is easier
But such is the case for now
And the world is evil
Until that day
When evil does not exist
And only the good
Occupies human mind
What is bad for you
Than to not do
What is good for you
But it is easier to not do
What is good for you

As If They Found A Duck
The real problem in this world
Is not that people just don't get along
Or some people are just evil
Too much greed anger jealousy
And all the negative emotions and traits
Sure they certainly do play a big role
In how people interact
But most of them are the byproducts
Of underlying main issue
That is misunderstanding
Rationalized conclusions
Having faith in false premises
Based on each and everyone's bias
Resulting from their own life experiences
Such that upon seeing a black man
Or a white man
Or Asian
Or any other ethnic group for that matter
All sorts of conclusions are drawn
Never given a clean slate
Despite not knowing a single fact
Or history regarding said individual
Not having shared one conversation
Presuming to know enough
To disrespect
And expect their erroneous fantasy
Taken aback when faced
With reality that is not
Congruent to their expectations
As if they found a duck
In the chicken coup

The True Hypocrisy
Everything in the universe
Under the laws of physics
So they say
Except one
The human mind
No matter how much
Or how arduously
The laws of physics are applied
Not in million years will it
Be able to produce the equation
Of compassion
Yet ever in search for
One binding theory
To explain the existence
All the while that
Which demands such a theory
Is not subject to logic
The true hypocrisy
And ultimate futility
Of the human arrogance
Under the laws of physics
So they say
Except one
The human mind
No matter how much
Or how arduously

Not in million years will it

Of The Russian Meddling
As far as one who is not in politics
But old enough to vote
And read the breaking news
Surfing the internet
Can recall without much effort
The tape about groping woman
Marking rental applications based on race
Claims of inauguration crowd size
Shoving another leader at G20
Firing director of FBI
Tweeter storms
Fake news claims
Charlottesville blame on both sides
Now Arizona rally showdown
And many more such a person
Who is not in politics
Cannot recall
It would not be out of the question
By now that even the Russians
If they had not already colluded with Trump
Would wish they had done it
To provide evidence to end
This misery in the white house
Before the whole situation
Truly gets out of hand
In which case the only saving grace
However ironic it may be
Is the collusion evidence
To get Team Trump out
Of the Russian meddling
But old enough to vote

Worthy Of A Victory Lap
Yes he has done it
The leader of DPRK
After decades of trying
Finally garnered a response
Worthy of a victory lap
From mighty leader of America
None other than Donald Trump
Fire and fury
Now you can comfortably say
Only Trump can engage Kim
Like only Nixon can go to China
Sanctions or not
This dynamic duo
Is sure to be passed down
In the history of the world
As the most unsophisticated
The most unrefined
WTF leaders
Who should not waste time
In engaging in war of words
But rather spend all their free time
In couples therapy

A Matter Only Of Time
If a year goes by like a month
A month goes by like a week
And a week goes by like a day
Then you need to stop
And slow the passage of time
So a day goes by like a week
A week goes by like a month
And a month goes by like a year
A matter only of time
And awareness
A month goes by like a week
And a week goes by like a day

And Ground To Walk On
Poor man on the street
Although not having much
Other than roof over his head
Clothes to keep warm
Food to evade hunger
Gives thanks for everything above
Including free air to breathe
And ground to walk on
Rich man on the street
Although having so much
On top of mega mansion
Designer clothes
Gourmet food filled pantry
Gives thanks for nothing
Let alone the purified air

The Basic Human Intelligence
Fast tracking GOP healthcare bill
Is like a guy wearing orange pants
Walking fast through the courtyard
Thinking that by fast tracking
No one will notice his orange pants
Foolishness akin to
A guy lifting his butt in the car
Thinking it will lighten up the load
To their chagrin
Enlightening them to the fact that
No matter how fast you track your pants
Or how high the butt is off the car seat
You cannot defy the laws of physics
The basic human intelligence
Nice try

As 3D Waves
People think of waves
As 2 dimensional
Like the waves on the ocean
Traveling on the surface
Of two dimensional plane
But sound and light waves
Travel in 3 dimensional space
And their waves must be
Three dimensional
Like the pearl beads
On the necklace
With volume
That is why light behaves
Like both waves
And particles
Each volume of space
Serving as particles
Traveling through space
As 3D waves

Which Is An Issue
No one will argue
With the notion that
Nobody is perfect
Almost
Some will say
But not perfect
And they use that notion
To justify many occasions
Of imperfect situations
Excuse of some sort
Fool proof rationalization
Perhaps
On the other hand
Not everyone will accept
The notion that
They all have issues
Either big or small
Aware or unaware
Believe it or not
Since no one is perfect
Whatever that makes one imperfect
Is an issue regardless
Of how issue free they feel
So how easy is it to say
Nobody is perfect
But not so easy to say
I have issues?
Because being imperfect
Is out of their control
But having issues
Is not
Which is an issue
More or less psychological

If there is anything that
Can bring about the changes to

Is to have the results of
That uncompromising tradition be
So utterly and stupendously disastrous
It leaves no other option but
To change the process by which
That result is obtained
Such that instead of just being
Born in the States to be
The sole criteria for POTUS
Perhaps implementation of
A qualification exam such as
Presidential Aptitude Test
Can ensure the future generations will
Not waste time in

Delusional May Be
Strangely as men get older
They become more stubborn
Unable to change
In all aspects of life
And personality
On top of holding onto
All sorts of ideas
And notions about life
And everything in it
Hence the salutation
Mister aka Master
To address every man
Who has an opinion on all things
Master of everything
Delusional may be
Except two things they cannot

Find North
You really cannot see
The hair grow on your head
By watching it all day
But it does grow continuously
And after a month
It surely has grown
And after a year
You don't look the same
Such is how the society
The whole world
And its people
Changes over time
Not from good to better
Certainly not from godless
To godly
Or immoral to moral
But all the opposite
Becoming more confused by the day
Mistaking evil for good
Good for evil
Like a compass that cannot
Find North
Taking comfort in knowing
Almost everyone is on board

The Dark Matter
Mass and energy is interchangeable
Famously formulated by Albert Einstein
E = MC^2 or M = E/C^2
Which basically says
Tremendous amount of energy
Can be gotten from a small mass
Or is required to form a small mass
Which makes sense conceptually
Dividing solid mass continually
In half until it reaches a state of
Either proton or electron
Dividing that in half to muons
And whatever else they call it
Eventually left with no mass
To divide except state of pure
Energy or charge
Dividing that further in half
To lesser and lesser energy
Dispersed throughout the universe
Into infinite space
Filled with pure energy
Infinitesimally small

And The Lucky Few
Does it really matter
Really
What anyone says
Or does
Thinks
However or whatever
If they are not on that one
Only one bridge
That connects from here to eternity
All destined for oblivion
Might as well party up
Live like there is no tomorrow
Which in fact
Is the predominant dogma
As if it makes life worthwhile
Having lived to the max
Sights sounds taste and pleasure
To face the end without regrets
An absolutely foolish
Totally wasteful endeavor
Not having found the bridge
From here to eternity
Meaningless
Absolute
And there are those
Who find it having searched
Who search but cannot find
Who does not search at all
And who find it
Without searching
And the lucky few
Who live like there is no tomorrow
Will find it none the less
Having been found

Higher and greater
More destructive
The overwhelming
Delusion of grandeur
Pride of human beings
Who cannot see mere
One second into the future
Let alone the end that awaits

Blind As A Bat
If a star is billion light years away
And it blew up 999,999,000 years ago
There is no way to know that from Earth
For another 1000 years
At which time 1000 years later
People from Earth will realize
They have been looking at a star
For a thousand years
A star that didn't exist
For 999,999,000 years
Truly
In the vastness of space
With infinity of time
Every point in the universe
Is a point of isolation
Blind as a bat
And it blew up 999,999,000 years ago
There is no way to know that from Earth
For another 1000 years
At which time 1000 years later
People from Earth will realize
They have been looking at a star
For a thousand years
A star that didn't exist
For 999,999,000 years
Truly
In the vastness of space
With infinity of time
Every point in the universe
Is a point of isolation
Blind as a bat

And There Lies The Irony
A good driver
Can steer even a most
Underpowered tin can
Through winding slope
Of treacherous mountain
But a bad driver
Will crash even the most
Sophisticated luxury automobile
Driving around town
A good chef
Can produce a fabulous dish
Using limited ingredients
With limited appliances
A bad chef
Will make even the most
Choice meats and vegetables
Using finest ingredients and tools
Into something inedible
And democracy?
Can good or even perfect democracy
Ensure the best and finest outcome
Despite limited candidates?
Far be it from the truth
All it can ensure
Is to make people get
What people want
And what people want
Is not always
What people should have
But in this case of Clinton vs Trump
People did not get
What people wanted
And there lies the irony
Of imperfect democracy
Can steer even a most
Underpowered tin can
Through winding slope
Of treacherous mountain
But a bad driver
Will crash even the most
Sophisticated luxury automobile
Driving around town
A good chef
Can produce a fabulous dish
Using limited ingredients
With limited appliances
A bad chef
Will make even the most
Choice meats and vegetables
Using finest ingredients and tools
Into something inedible

And what people want
Is not always
What people should have
But in this case of Clinton vs Trump
People did not get
What people wanted
And there lies the irony

Painful To Watch
It is true
What they say
That it takes two
To tango
Indeed
And it is fun sometimes
To watch a good tango
Like a good movie
Beginning to the end
Scent of a Woman
But in this case
Of Trump vs Media
It certainly is
Painful to watch
Crying out loud

Where It Started
It is a well established fact
Proven by experiments
That gravitational force also
Bends the path of light beam
Which means there really is
Nothing in this universe
That is seen exactly
Where it lies
The further away an object
The further away it is perceived to be
From its exact location
However minuscule
As countless stars
And galaxies are in the universe
Bending light this way and that
Eventually ending up
Where it started
With infinity of time
The beginning of time
Proven by experiments
That gravitational force also
Bends the path of light beam
Which means there really is
Nothing in this universe
That is seen exactly
Where it lies
The further away an object
The further away it is perceived to be
From its exact location

And galaxies are in the universe

In Retrospect
As far as predictable action goes
Pertaining to human behavior
There is none that is more pervasive
Than one step behind phenomenon
Always one step behind
The inevitable struggle
For most if not all individuals
Regardless of any trait
Invariably leading one to say
I should have done this or
If only I have done that
I cannot believe I did this or that
Which leads one to ask
Why didn't you do this or that?
To which the answer goes
I thought this or that was right
Which it obviously is not
In retrospect
Hindsight being 20/20
Not knowing the future outcome
But more often than not
Almost all outcomes
Could have resulted in alternate ending
A more acceptable or desired outcome
Had one made absolutely certain
Without any possibility of otherwise
Of attaining the desired outcome
Leaving no shred of doubt
Killing a fly with a grenade
Certainly unreasonable action
And most will agree it is neurotic
But the fly would be dead
There really is no reason
To lament having missed the boat
There really is no one to blame
But yourself
Certainly not after
The election is over
Pertaining to human behavior
There is none that is more pervasive
Than one step behind phenomenon
Always one step behind

The Government
People spend a lot of time
Too much time
Arguing about everything
And anything
As long as there are two
People on this planet
They will argue
No doubt about it
And some will contend
That even if left alone
That individual will argue
With oneself
I e
Crazy people
Or not crazy at all
Just indecisive
No matter who is arguing
With who or about what
There really is no end
To any argument
As long as there is no proof
Irrefutable proof
Undeniable fact
That supports one side
Although even that will not
Be enough since they will continue
To argue about the authenticity
And validity of that proof
The whole point
Of the argument being
Nothing more than justification
Serving as conscientious rationalization
For believing whatever
That they are arguing about
To act accordingly based on their belief
For anyone who has power to act

How Dare The President
Is Big Mac a failure
Because it has too much fat?
It may not be for the rich
But it keeps many
From going to bed hungry
The rich can pay more
To get less calories
Is Ford Fiesta a failure
Because it is cheap and powerless?
It may not be for the rich
But it keeps many
From hopping on the bus
The rich can pay more
To drive in luxury
Is Obamacare a failure
Because it is too cheap?
No
Because less people are insured?
No
Because preexisting conditions are excluded?
No
Then what is the reason
For fervent desire for repeal?
Too expensive they say
For some minority segment
Who always had insurance
Too expensive for the rich
Who would rather let the kid
Go hungry without food
Than take a bite out of their T-bone
Woh how dare he they say
Take a chunk out of my juicy pork
And give to the poor
How dare the president
Of The United States of America
Because it has too much fat?
It may not be for the rich
But it keeps many
From going to bed hungry
The rich can pay more
