The Balance of Power

Power an important tool
For a leader to rule
So the constituent subscribe
Whatever laws as guide.
But power may be abused
To shield the personal grandeur
By lack of concern or care
-For the benefit of others.
May the power hold
To the wise and kind
But firm to implement
The rule of justice...
And equality to all.

Hungry For Justice?

Justice system as told
Is made for the people
That will be a guiding light
To have fairness to everyone.

To the poor and the wealthy
The laws are the basis
To identify the violations
In the civilized society.

But is there sense of fairness
For those who are accused
By opening the leveling field
Regardless of economic status?

When the rich man is accused
Justice is intentionally delayed
Until the time will come
Case will be dismissed and forgotten.

A Friend You Need

What is a friend?
A real friend you need.
A friend who never gossip
The weakness you have.
A friend who inspired
To explore your strenght.
A friend you can lean on
Who is there to lean a hand
Whenever you need...
A friend who lend money
To help not for the interest.
A friend who opens up his door
With intentions not otherwise.
A friend who don't flatter
To cover the weakness you have.
A friend who will tell face to face
If the travelled road is heading
To what direction it leads...
A friend who will tell your faults
And feel your joy and sorrows.

If Only I Can Save The Water

Water is the source of life
But sometimes it's dangerous
When overflowing will destruct
And may cost lives...
This is shown in floods
During typhoons and rainy days
Where water rushed down streams
Making costly damaged to people.
If Only I Can Save The Water
And if I can only save the water
When it rains flows only...
To where mankind need it to be
To supply the need of rice fields
Giving enough water to marine life
The bounty of drinking water
And many other benefits...

But this is beyond control
It's already giving pain
Every time there is typhoon
