Good Things to Come

TELL EVERYONE OF GOOD THINGS TO COME

If I was a psychic or a fortune-teller,
I would tell everyone of good things to come
Never once utter a word of misery,
sickness, bad luck or misfortune
For people who go to psychics or fortune-tellers
need to hear good things and be given hope.
Happy people don’t need to hear the future.
They believe and expect their good fortune
to continue forever,
but those who seek to hear answers
from anyone claiming to have super powers
should be made to believe
that no misery lasts a life time
that soon everything will be all right.
People need not
lose hope
and lose their sight
of happiness to come
with their loved ones by their side.

Let’s bring out beauty to share

A STATEMENT OF ART

I wish more people paint in pink, blue, and green Denying red or black.
I don’t like harshness, even in colours.

Please erase your anger and greed.
Suppress your violence, madness or sadness.
Concentrate on beauty…
Let’s bring out beauty to share.
Only beauty will stay and endure.
For the name of art,
For the name of literature,
For the name of reality…
Only beauty is stronger than all ugliness or evil.
Bring out beauty and share.

We all know that too much menace and misery haunts  everywhere…
But please, encourage beauty.
Deny every form of negativity.

Just like tiny stars, twinkling above
Let beauty be your guiding star.

Poem to Children

To My Children

When I’m no longer around you
Far, far away from all of you…
Maybe when you want to talk to me
and finally listen to me.
Please, would you read my poetry?

In my lines, you will find my legacy
My philosophy, my wishes, dreams and disappointments, but you’ll also find my solutions You see, I do not like to be depressed too long I like to cheer myself up as much as those around me!
