The Game of Death

Is there a life after death, we wonder

But could there be a life without death, just ponder

Why do we think it’s the road’s end?

When life is just taken through a sharp bend

What do we lose, if there are no corners to turn

Would life be easier without having to mourn?

Yet death is as certain as certain can be

Lurking in the shadows for you and for me

Where there is shadow, there will always be light

It’s in the darkness we see all that is bright

The sands of time, the dream of afterlife

Turned tombs to wonders, death to lasting life

There is never a beginning without an end

And life is always there waiting behind the bend

Fear not death, there is no need to hide

For it’s death that gives life its finest ride

Painting of Pyramid, Sphinx and desert depicting the after life that the ancient Egyptians believed in

The Game of Life

The Game of Life has its own way,

Where the rules make sense to none who play.

A game that was, before anything was created

The rules so complex that no one is defeated

We strut like kings though we are only a guest

Fooled into thinking we are above the rest.

It makes us strangers sharing the same space

And we lose ourselves in this endless chase

We can’t help but feel like someone’s toy

Moved by invisible hands for someone’s joy

And yet the ocean needs the shark beside the clown

Every being plays its part, none wears a crown

The game goes on and stops never

No soul so great the game would pause, not ever

For we are just the players, not the play

Here for a scene,then fading away.

Underwater scene with a sea turtle, a shark, a jellyfish, and colorful coral reef.

In The Gray Zone

Between Black & White lies that boring Gray

Where miracle & magic happens every Day

Between Yes and No lies that debilitating Doubt

But navigating this zone is what life is all ’bout

Between War & Peace lies that elusive Trust

A priceless tool to help us Accept & Adjust

Between This & That we are forced to pick

While an alternative does the trick

Between Black & White lies that boring Gray

Where miracle & magic happens every Day

Melting Hope

Global warming is blamed for everything. But who should be blamed for this.

We evolved rapidly, riding on our distinction.
and pushed the rest to the edge of extinction

We made the blue planet spin toward a scary red future
Our price for playing God and messing with Mother Nature.

We boiled the oceans, without fire
refusing to curb our apathy and cold-hearted desire

We wonder why the tides rise higher and winds lash faster
even as we blame each other for every disaster

Will we slow down and pay heed?
Or has greed become our overbearing need?

Can green cool this hot crucible?
Or is it too late and the damage irreversible?

Will we do it differently if we start over again
Will we give this earth a better bargain?

“How dare you?” roars Mother Nature for taking her down this slope
She can’t bear another pain, a melting hope

Polar bears on rocky shore with large iceberg and floating ice in the background.
