The power is in his hands;

we, ourselves, have put it there,

in hope for a better change

we gave away our freedom.

 

The truth is what he says,

he puts our lives in chains

and in silence we accept

to be slaves in his kingdom.

 

The future is our past,

the present doesn’t last,

a spell of war is cast

and there is hope no more..

 

Either you follow or you fall,

there is no other choice;

hit your head against the wall;

this is 1984!

Inspired by current events and George Orwell’s novel.

Let it be

I know you have your misgivings

it’s all new, undiscovered and odd.

But when your life is lacking a meaning

None of your moves can be too bold.

 

Reach inside your deepest desires,

Leave your fears and troubles aside…

And as much as it sounds uninspired:

Don’t be afraid to live your life.

 

Because with hindsight all that matters

Are memories of what you have lived.

All you have not tried, you will regret it;

So if it feels right, just let it be.

Fading memory

Tags

believe, destiny, faith, friends, live, lovers, sand, soul, sparkle

Dust hovering in sunlight

Little sparkles frozen in time

One memory woken up in a cold mind

Sharp and clear, destined to shine.

Grains of sand suspended in thick water,

A ray of sun reflected in a quarter,

Connection of one soul to another:

Families, friends, enemies, lovers…

Circle of life, faith, destiny,

Single moments creating reality,

Lonely hearts craving to believe

That love isn’t just a fading memory.

Chances

chances, days, laugh, life, live, opportunity, poem, promise

Wake up with a smile on your face,

You’ve made it through to another day!

Even if you’re tired and you feel pain,

You’re still here, you don’t live in vain.

You can’t make the life to have more days.

Life’s full of chances that you didn’t take.

It’s too short, but you can still make the best of it.

And you should promise yourself to never miss another opportunity.

Find yourself a reason to laugh.

With all your weaknesses try to fight.

If a problem is too big, don’t give up.

Change your thinking, let the world keep up.

You can’t make the life to have more days.

Life’s full of chances that you didn’t take.

It’s too short, but you can still make the best of it.

And you should promise yourself to never miss another opportunity.

Would you rather be sorry for the things you did

or didn’t do because you were too afraid to give it a shot?

Would you rather be thankful for each day you lived

Or be jealous of things others have and you don’t?

You can’t make the life to have more days.

Life’s full of chances that you didn’t take.

It’s too short, but you can still make the best of it.

And you should promise yourself to never miss another opportunity.
