The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.

Astrologer cheats himself and you
A day consists of day and night.
Sometimes day is longer; sometimes night.
Events in a day are good and bad.
A year consists of spring and winter.
Let a fortuneteller tell you
That you had good time in a span.
Your mind will locate all the ups.
Should he say you had bad time,
You are quick to search all the downs.
Astrologer swindles your gullibility.

Failing
I'm trying my hardest to stay happy
I'm trying my hardest, I swear I am
But I fear that I'm failing
And this, I don't want you to notice
I'm trying to hide it
But I don't know if I can
I don't want you to know
that I'm failing
I don't want you to know
that I can't seem to stay happy
I want to be happy, for you
I want to show that I can be happy
And, I guess..maybe I just want
you to be proud of me
So I'll keep trying
But I fear I'm failing

Life consists
Life consists of
Lion snake mouse bull
Life consists of
Eagle-garuda owl peacock
Come on lifeline and hug.
Life marks onset of
New inspiration new invention
To pay ttention is must
Life reveals globalisation
Generalisation specialisation.
Life is to enjoy moment
No one be debar
Have open heart
And clear mind
After all life is life.

Failing Hearts (Collaboration with Miranda Mabuto)
Beats nolonger sync
Love boat is beginning to sink,
The rhyme now hard to decode,
The rhythm now discord,
This is the song of failing hearts
The stars are fading out, im seeing
The light I cant see anymore, glistening
I can get the fine sound, im listening
Do you care now, do you know how?
Please let me go, let me be
Let me be me
Let me be free
Release me for another lover,
Let me find my happily ever after,
Let the failing hearts fail,
Let me leave you, let me
Your sad look wont move me anymore,
Your mad move pushed me furthermore,
You and I, me and you,
A history, a shadow, a memory
The rhyme nolonger a hit, but just a song
Nolonger a fine tune, the hearts are failing
The sun is setting with us,
When it rises, it wont rise with us,
When its dawn, we will be done,
The satisfaction of the faded lights,
The joy�of the disjointed parts,
A history of the failing hearts

Birth of Originality
Satin-like – her wing
Breaks out of her mother.
She begins to drink the sunlight
Like a bottle.
A bottle of the mind.
But Destiny had jumped –
Died by way of his son –
The sensual evening before.
Before the birth.
The birth of Originality.
Destiny now stares through
Nothing in the
Silver soothing grave.
But in such a mind
Originality
May let her feminine growth be witnessed.
Witnessed like a marriage
Or not witnessed like an almost marriage.
With Imagination's shiny eye
Or story-showing mirror.
An eye
to camera-record the truth.
A mirror
To decorate it with Creativity's nurturing touch.
Just Emote...
a poet without talent
forgive him
for just being himself
forgive me
but we are all poets in some sense
a fly trapped inside
your hand wanting to be free
a bird in a cage
singing
a leaf falling and falling
and falling
eyesight failing and failing
and failing
and old woman on a
swinging
chair with no one caring
for her
a Japanese kid waiting
for help sitting beside
the ruble
a bird alone on a
telephone cable
sands on the shore and
the sea
a boy lost in the marketplace
a mother still searching
the silent crowd in the mall
always window shopping
we may have no talent
but we are expressing feelings
we are writing simply
by what we see....

Love Consists
Love consists in this:
That two solitudes,
come together
and discover
they cannot be
without each other.
Two solitudes
that protect and guard
each other always.
Two solitudes
that touch each other
in ways they never
ever touched before.
Unrequited love
consists in this:
That two solitudes
come together
and discover
that only one
cannot ever be
without the other.
Only one protects
and guards the other.
Only one touches
as if never touched.
So the question
that haunts my nights
and torments my days:
Why did she not love
the way I loved her
