inA spark of light
Smiles and well wishes in the heart’s delight
A table re-arranged
To the clings of dishes in exchange
A candle lit
Love and tablecloths together knit
Never did the grand drown in pickets of a frown
Even when thereafter, the voices shush down
Later, seconds spent in appreciation
Seconds smiling at the feeling born in the imagination

They wanted to be wise,
So we started reading books
They wanted to dance,
So we bought Michael Jackson shoes
They wanted power over literature,
So we wrote poetry
They wanted to be smart,
So we downloaded chess on our phones
They wanted to be open minded,
So our group of friends consisted of people from all around the world
They wanted warmth in their heart,
So we looked for love
They wanted to experience wonder,
So at the wake of moon, we creep at the stars
They wanted revelations to the mysteries of existence,
So we read verses, and paid attention in physics class
They wanted to touch the sky,
So we bounce off of our beds, reaching, hopefully, pass roofs
They wanted to travel the world,
So we fell asleep and dreamt.

We are the people who make others smile
We are the people who give you hope
We wash you clean of your worries, no soap.
We are the people who bring excitement and leave on a good note
We are the people who make the world turn
Lead each nation; make them know life is just a station
For there is an afterlife, heaven, the ultimate vacation.
We are the people who punish you, all in the hope that you will avoid the mistakes later.
But as we hit you, we hit ourselves
Scream at you and make you fear.
But as you cry, our hearts tear
Our soul screams, “can you not hear?”
We are the people you praise,
The people you raise.
You wish we wouldn’t leave,
So we didn’t.
In spirit we stayed.
Stayed watching over you, hinting the right path
Giving you wings when you fall and keeping you warm. A scarf.

Look even when you can’t see,
Search even when you can’t find,
Follow the path even when you are blind.
Search for a sign
Don’t you waste any time on a dine
Don’t you rest
This is a test
If you fall asleep,
Who’ll find you when you start to wander in your dreams like a lost sheep?
We do have our needs
So take advantage of the coming harvest and prepare your seeds
Take your chance
And don’t lose hope when you see the tall fence
Don’t deal in hate
Instead, focus on the value of having others in your team. They’re your mate.
And so you’ll realize you have enough power to change the climate,
And in your hands, the power to change another’s fate.
Don’t deal in strife
But learn the lessons in life
Life will brutally hurt you
Especially when all your actions start to be truthful
You will want to cry,
But, just deal for a while
You have to take the next step,
Because, at the end of the day even Jesus wept
