Who Knows
Each day the dawn rises
and the sun begins to shine,
but what if one day
there was no sun no more
and the skies remain black.
The world would become cold
and life would fade away.
The human race would then know
its judgement day.
Scientists predict that day
is a long way off
and we will never see it in our lifetime.
No one can predict what tomorrow will bring,
nor can we predict when the sun will ever die.
We all hope it will be never,
but really, who knows?

Unrealistic Are These Wishes
Some seek a pot of gold,
At the end of a rainbow...
But,
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict.
Yet...
Kept are unrealistic wishes.
And...
Others seek clouds lined,
With silver to behold.
But,
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict.
Yet...
Kept are unrealistic wishes.
Nothing is impossible to believe.
Or...
Too impossible to receive.
And...
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict,
For...
Anyone who's not a wisher!
Some seek a pot of gold,
At the end of a rainbow...
But,
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict.
Yet...
Kept are unrealistic wishes.
And...
Others seek clouds lined,
With silver to behold.
But,
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict.
Yet...
Kept are unrealistic wishes.
Nothing is impossible to believe.
Or...
Too impossible to receive.
And...
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict,
For...
Anyone who's not a wisher!
And...
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict,
For...
Anyone who's not a wisher!
Unrealistic are these wishes to predict,
For...
Anyone who's not a wisher!
Some seek a pot of gold,
At the end of a rainbow...

With silver to behold.

Another Love Poem
Can every tomorrow be guaranteed?
Will our love live forever and a day?
One can’t predict what tomorrow may bring
But our love is certain as this year’s spring.
Can the sun be stopped from rising each day?
Can a bard cease writing his love poems?
If tomorrow may dawn another day
And we find the sun has lost its own way
A poet that day will write words like this:
“Tomorrows may come but then again no
Yet the love you share will prosper and grow
If the sun never cast another ray
The love in your hearts will light the way
For your future tomorrows come what may.”

Give me your hand..
Give me your hand.
Male the right hand,
and the female the left.
You all have three lines,
which are major,
the rest are minor.
You have strong head line,
you have long life line and
a deep heart line.
Give me your hand,
Let me predict your future.
At first, about your family.
When your head is free of fear,
you may live long with few or no kids.
When your head is full of fear,
your longevity dwindle, but have many kids.
Now about your nation,
When your head is full of intelligence,
you nation will prosper with your tax money.
When your head is full of ignorance,
you will prosper evading the tax to the nation.
Give me your hand,
Let me predict your love life.
Please, do not run away.
Give me your hand..

Sunshine Tomorrow
Sunshine Tomorrow
I do not need a meteorologist.....
Nor even a psychologist.....
To predict the outcome of this weather.....
For even though it is gloomy and dark.....
Something tells me there will be sparks.....
That contrary to the bleakness I feel inside.....
There is going to be a glow I cannot describe.....
Sure there is a storm that is raging.....
And hails are clearly falling.....
But tomorrow that will seize.....
And I will hear the birds in the trees.....
And the humming of busy bees.....
Yes the weather has checked.....
Now we can watch the sunset.....

Sonnet: We Need God’s Blessings
What human agencies achieve is small;
Our Life's experience proves this point clearly;
And tho' this is a fact, well-known to all,
Yet, Men believe in human strength merely.
Most things that happen, we can't reason why;
And when they occur, no one can predict;
A few wise-men and soothsayers do try;
Their own statements, they often contradict.
The things destined by God, none can avoid;
His queries to each man, none can evade;
Unbless’d, man's labor remains null and void;
His glory and achievements also fade.
The man who wins God's Mercy- will not sin;
The man who pins his hopes on God- will win!

Viewing The World After A Calamity
when you step out the door
the rain stops
you walk avoiding the patches
of water
the trees are still in their
solitude
the wings are cautious
even in the making of its whispers
the skies are clear, white
stainless
the sun shines moderately
upon the cold pavement
you climb a mountain and sits
on a rock
from the top you see
how beautiful is this world still
after a storm after a 6.9 quake
if it ends as they predict
surely you will always miss it.

The Future
Where am I headed?
Where am I going?
There's really no way
of me really knowing.
My future's uncertain
just like yours.
No one can predict
through which of the doors
you'll walk through tomorrow.
Which door shall I go through?
If I knew my future
then nothing would be new.
And so I must walk
with hope in my heart
that where I am headed
is from where I did start.

Hunger: The Cruelty Of Not Eating.
No man should go without food, no man
Should die because the stomach failed to
Digest solids and juice; we are all powerful human
Beings able to predict weather patterns as the
Gods themselves... Why should your neighbor
Die when you eat... Why should humanity perish
For food, why then do we have wars; never die
Due to food, help the world feed the world.

Unpredictable
Love is unpredictable,
one minute you are in it
and the next it is out of bounds.
You cannot predict it
from one day to the next.
Like flowers in the garden
if they are not tended properly
will shrivel up and die.
Love is just the same way.
If it doesn’t get the attention that it needs
those within it will simply melt away.

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.
Basins of attraction, of self organization, show up as well in our complex social environment, in human organizations. Here again, while we cannot predict the result of any given input, we can say that it will likely fall within one of several areas.

Not For A Single Entity
If you can see the unattainable.
Set forth an embark for someone to continue on when you're gone.
Sometimes a single life time is not enough.
So share in our goals and ambitions to really achieve what we desire.
Not for single entity.
But for the entire humanity.
One can not predict the future.
But one can generate it.

If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.

Midway Park
Ride with you tonight, Ill ride forever
Theres no way to predict this kind of weather
Ashes fall to earth, words are severed
Feathers turn to weighted iron pillars
Midway park
Streetlights shine on a hood that is dark
Down on the graves
Where well lie. well lie. well lie.
Think of you tonight, Ill think forever
Theres no way to predict this kind of weather
Ashes fall to earth, words are severed
Feathers turn to broken beads and pillars
Midway park
Streetlights shine on a hood that is dark
Down on the graves
Well lie. where well lie. well lie.
Dont tell the truth, well lie
Just lie.
Dont tell the truth
Just lie.
