It is mind boggling to see
How some people have sincere desire
To get to point D from point A without
First going through points B and C
Like wanting to get to the top of mountain
But don't want to hike
Or how they want to become a doctor
But they don't want to go to school
Or want to earn a lot of money
But don't want to work
And want to live in a clean house
But don't want to clean
It just will not work that way
Wanting something for nothing
But they sure will tell you
How much they wish such and such
But don't want to go through the process
As if their inability to skip points B and C
Is good enough excuse to give up D
Like someone at the base of the mountain
Upon seeing the summit saying
Ah....forget it
And walking away before
Even taking one step forward

Stupid Past Moments
People love to laugh at other people
Whenever someone does something
Really stupid or embarrassing
They love to point it out and laugh
The main impulse to laughter being
Expression of their happiness in witnessing
Someone else doing something stupid
That they themselves have done in the past
Or something similarly stupid
But no one knows about
At least not anyone they know
And will keep it that way
So at seeing someone doing something
Really stupid and embarrassing
Most people react by laughter
A direct expression of their happiness
In essence being able to finally
Let go of their embarrassing
Stupid past moments
And move on
Whenever someone does something

The True AI
These days a week does not go by
Without hearing something related to
Artificial Intelligence
How it is going to change the way
All things are done
From transportation to medicine
AI is referred to as some higher being
Another grand achievement
Independent thinking machine
When it actually is nothing more
Than bunch of codes and algorithms
Incapable of doing anything beyond
What it is written in the code
But people talk of it as if this AI
Can think for itself
Formulate and create new information
Like a human in the machine form
Just ludicrous
AI this AI that AI AI
Like the new dish chef created
Will start serving customers
Like C3PO or R2D2
Too many sci-fi movies perhaps
With the definition of intelligence
Brought down to mere codes and algorithms
Lacking emotion
The ability to dream and appreciate
To hope and love and long for
The beauty and affection
But then again
What are humans of modern society
With artificial love and affection
With constant calculation
What are we but
The true AI

And Passing By What Is Real
Not many things truly are
What it appears to be on the outside
Even the diamond
Maybe a Cubic Zirconia
Gold bar
Perhaps gold plated
An appetizing dish
May not be so fresh
But few ever considers
Even contemplates the possibility
That what lies inside may
Truly be much better than outside
Like a dirty diamond
Hiding the genuine identity
What appears gold plated
Is truly solid gold
And the dish that is inconspicuous
Is indeed delicious
Almost all drawn to the fake
That appears real
And passing by what is real
Judging it is not

To The Promised Land
What is life of a man
But a journey out of Egypt
To the promised land
But a journey out of Egypt
To the promised land
But not allowed to enter
Having strayed off the map
To die in the desert wandering
While the next generation
The newborn generation
Enters the promised land
The newborn generation
Enters the promised land
What is life of a Christian
But a journey out of Egypt
To the promised land
But a journey out of Egypt
To the promised land
And enters
Being born again
By the grace of God

A Tiny Black Hole
So many small people
In this world
Not physically small
Not small in their bank account
Not small in fame or popularity
Nor in power
Or social or academic status
Not small in any regard
In terms of accomplishment
But so small tiny minuscule
In the way they think and behave
To protect ever so large but fragile
Ego balancing on the beam
So small indeed
A tiny black hole
In this world
Not physically small
Not small in their bank account
Not small in fame or popularity
Nor in power
Or social or academic status
Not small in any regard
In terms of accomplishment
But so small tiny minuscule
In the way they think and behave
To protect ever so large but fragile
Ego balancing on the beam
So small indeed
A tiny black hole

Alone
A person all alone in the world
Feels lonely
A person in the city of million people
Feels lonely
Whether married or single
With friends or not
After all that which masks
The loneliness wears off
Drugs sex endless party
Whatever the temporary distraction
This feeling of loneliness
Innate in all human beings
Will be inescapable until
One discovers and accepts
The One
Who will never leave you
Alone

Yet Neither One Of Them
Is life not fair
A double edged sword
That cannot satisfy
The man that wields it
Man driving a Ferrari passing by
A man waiting for the bus
Woman struggling to evade hunger
While another struggles to lose weight
One man living in 5000sq feet penthouse
Two families living in 2000sq feet condo
Yes
The poor knows about the rich
And the rich knows about the poor
In the same way that a man
Knows there are stars in the sky
Yet neither one of them
Feels any happier than the other
A double edged sword
That cannot satisfy
The man that wields it
Man driving a Ferrari passing by
A man waiting for the bus
Woman struggling to evade hunger
While another struggles to lose weight
One man living in 5000sq feet penthouse
Two families living in 2000sq feet condo
Yes
The poor knows about the rich
And the rich knows about the poor
In the same way that a man
Knows there are stars in the sky
Yet neither one of them
Feels any happier than the other
