The Election Farce

The election farce is on again.
The choice is usually between two men.
Two men that are the same you see.
Two men that always seem to be
polished gents with suit and tie
but underneath the suit does lie
the readers of teleprompting cues
conveying their master's point of views.

The election farce is just a race
between two different suits with just one face.

Either Way, Thanks Again

Today I can finally thank you
Thanks so much for tossing my heart in a shredder
Thanks for making me feel blown off and unimportant that one last time

If you hadn't done what it is that you did
And I hadn't said those shitty things I said

Then I would probably still be holding on
With my bare soul to a farce of a fantasy
Or maybe it was a fantasy of a farce

Either way, thanks again

My Farce

My farce depicts my rage along the time,
May language find a fault with some of these
Little diseases of this age that states.
Words devastate the real divisions now,
Now that is godly finding me and you.
My farce destroys a little sun of us,
The star for all of us shall carry one,
And this demand defends my actual goal.
Time staggers as the gods roll one over you.

Its A Fire

Its a fire
These dreams they pass me by
This salvation I desire
Keeps getting me down
Cos we need to
Recognise mistakes
For time and again
So let it be known for what we believe in
I can see no reason for it to fail.... ...
Cos this life is a farce
I cant breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, sister breathe on
From this oneself
Testify or tell
Its fooling us now
So let it be known for what we believe in
I can see no reason for it to fail...
Cos this life is a farce
I cant breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, little sister, breathe on
Ohh so breathe on, little sister, like a fool

The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce and gives it some of the grace of tragedy.

Enjoy Life in Romantic Mood Ever!

Money in the hands of fool is a farce!
Knowledge sans money makes one wise!
This fantastic life is romantic if you will!

All hustle and bustle are for satisfaction
That man strives all his life to achieve...!

First satisfaction in education is a must;
Then satisfaction in suitable job is needed;
Then satisfaction in life is very much needed!

Without satisfaction only frustration comes
Whatever one sees, hears and lives in the world!
So, what is important see first and achieve it
So that life can go on whatever be the situation is!

If you dig deep you will see only skeletons aplenty;
See superficially and enjoy life in romantic mood ever!

Reality Is Aloof

Through the stillness around
Fragments of sound
Say the alien stars
Existence is farce
Mocks the Jupiter
Life is a dying theater!
Days follow
Into endless hollow
Only nights are real
Her dreams eternal!
On dark roof
Reality is aloof!

Axel Munthe

I know that life is beautiful, but I also know that we often make a mess of it and turn it into a silly farce or a heart-rending tragedy, or both, so much so that one ends by not knowing whether to cry or to laugh. It is easier to cry, but far better to laugh, so long as one doesn't laugh aloud.

Love is a Farce

Love is a farce
For if you love
Somebody
Would you not be
Happy if he's happy
Loving someone else?

Would you not be happy
If you see him seeking
Love and happiness…
Somewhere else?

No!

You'll feel sad.
You'll feel jealous.
You'll feel morose.

Your love is farcical.
For if you really loved him
You wouldn't bind him with
Oaths, promises and obligations.

You would let him
Freely flow…
If he realises that you love him
And he is able to feel the same
For you, he'll remain with you
And will never go.

But don't bind him with prayers and pleas
As if you want to live on his mercies....
For if love has to happen, it will happen.
No matter what, no matter how far you are,
No matter how close you live, yet so
Distant you are....

But if love doesn't have to happen,
Then no matter what you do, he'll
Never come back to you....

So set him free
And enjoy this freedom
Of unrequited loving without
Receiving any....

For if you truly love him,
Let love not be a farce,
Never a binding, nor an expectation,
That he'll love you as much as you do,
For his happiness may be within him,
With others, or with you, but wherever
He's happy, let him be....for if you truly
Love him, won't you be happy, just seeing
His happiness, wherever he is....with himself,
With her, with them, with him (? !) , or with you!
