A Child's Love

The beauty of a child's love
Unadultratedly pure and simple
Redeeming the hearts and minds
Of all that come in contact with it magic

The wholeness of a child's love
Unpolluted and full of innocence
Remembering nor holding no grudge
Of all that wrought evil against it ways

If only the beauty of such love would abide
In all it splender and never lost
If only the miraculous healing powers of a child's love
In all it's elegance and simplicity would live on

If only we could protect and shield
This Godsend gift from pollution and evil
If only, oh if really only we could immitate
This amazing and forgiving purity of a child's love

Open-prison

Young love unwillingly parted
the harsh reality of a 'third world' economy
the cruel reaper of many joys

as they sat face to face
strenghtening each other with their fading energy
and the unpromisable assurance of a strange distance future's hope

they sat hand pleedingly holding on each other's hand
multiple streams of tears flooding
tis the last night till the future's re-union

faced with a choice of two yet soo cruel
they must part with hope of survival
or together be and die in each other's arms

now lovers parted for no crimes committed
sitting each opposite ends of a milion mile line
young lovers imprisoned distants apart by their home economy

Choise Or Destiny?

Do you believe in destiny?
Did destiny lead you here to read this at this precise time?
Or would you rather call it some random decision
Uncontrolled by any external force
Poised on predestining your future?

Hmm!
I'm Intrigued by the overwhelming desire to sit and do nothing
To see the unchangeable handiwork of destiny unfold
But then you wouldn’t be here reading this
For I very much doubt it can type without me

Oh! Wait
Might it also be that I had no choice in the matter?
That I was predestined to write this for you to read?
Are my every deed justified by it therefore?
Or should I be justly rewarded accordingly?

Am I right?
To wail and scream vengeance when my loved one is unfairly taken from me?
