Science Vs. Magic

How come science could simply come and steal

the mystery, the excitement, the magic we feel

*********

We were surrounded by wonder, amazement and magic

now all i see are facts, scientific terms and logic

*********

Math gave us numbers to limit each day we live

eternity traded for a few ages we're entitled to give

*********

Love was always feeling and affections we felt

but then chemistry had to explain, let the emotions melt

*********

And when we thought we could make wings and fly

physics stole fairytales, gravity said it was all a lie

*********

We believed simple I DOs could create the birth miracle

again...biology ruined it...it was no more lyrical

*********

Ecology came creeping as we looked at rain and wondered

world wide, stones, thick snow, lightning when it thundered

*********

Star twinkle, and even our very own personalities and luck

our only hope for mystery, but astrology made it suck

*********

They discovered everything...what next? maybe our own creation

that God, life after death, angels, demons, and religion is only our imagination

*********

Some say, we created God in our minds because human is afraid to be alone

some say we have a soul, others believe we're only flesh and bone...

*********

At least we still have some mystery left to help us sleep

be scared of the unknown and dive into dreams too deep

*********

What's beyond the universe? Is there justice? are we born to die?

Are there signs and omens? Does fate exist? What's the point? Why do we live...Why???

*********

"Above Earth, Under the Sky, Through Nature"

Are you sad, depressed, are you lonely?

have you lost the last hope and the only?

**********

Do you feel so annoyed? Do you feel like crying?

Do you think of suicide? Do you feel like dying?

**********

Take a second, close your eyes

fly to a silent place, where the sunrise

**********

It's dawn and the sky's so red

orange lines paint the horizon like small threads

**********

Then the sun comes out from behind those hills

and the breeze of air that rocks those daffodils

**********

And moves the corn plants to make waves

sounds of different creatures echo in caves

**********

Vast green fields varnished with flowers

daisies, pansies, lilies, all bathe with showers

**********

Then the rocky sides where the water falls

music of water like chanting of the souls

**********

Find the highest mountain, climb to the top

look at the infinite sky, it will never stop

**********

Imagine the widest ocean, sit there on the beach

stare at the sky and the white clouds out of reach

**********

Watch the blue waves as they hit the shore

music to the ear, no one ever dreamed to ask for

**********

Watch the sunset, and its reflection on the ocean

then the chilly breath of air shivers your body with emotion

**********

You'll have goose bumps as the sun kisses earth goodbye

and promises it'll come back, hoping earth wouldn't cry

**********

And as the night falls down on the ground

it would paint the world black all around

**********

Look up there, and find the brightest star

what's beyond the black space way too far

**********

Make a wish as you watch comets pass by

deserts live with thirst and they don't ask why

trees are always naked, and they're never shy

God gave you this earth, so please don't cry

**********

Smile, watch the stars twinkle and shine

this earth is a gift, it's yours and mine

be happy! There's joy, stop the whine

remember, the sun's coming up again, everything will be fine...

Unconfident

If three wishes they gave me

to have, to get, or wish to be

I'd change my look and personality

stuff you never thought you'd see in me

***********

I want to have straight blond hair

and colored eyes with a daring stare

I want to have a mouth so rare

and rosy pink cute cheeks a pair

***********

Like a model I want to be tall

with the same look, same poses and all

have a great look, with a butt so small

and under my eye a little black mole

***********

I want to switch from weak to strong

I wanna speak words from a perfect tongue

make sure what comes out of it is never wrong

I got sick of being shy for so long

***********

I wanna have a glow as I enter a room

and to be so missed as I leave so soon

just how the night misses the moon

and how loneliness misses its gloom
***********

I look at the mirror, I'm not satisfied

I don't want to be seen, I'd rather hide behind

say something, there are no words I can find

shoot me, wish i was never born, I died
***********

They say satisfaction's the key for happiness

but I want more, and I don't care for less

they could say all wise crap, and they're true I guess

human heart can buy them, but human mind is a mess...

Get Well Soon Angel

Over our house there's a black cloud

it's about to rain, there's no doubt

it makes our house dark, too dark to see

your lovely face smiling back at me

**********

Days have been passing by

I thought I was living in a lie

but then I found out it was true

when everyone was surrounding you

**********

There's no sun when you are ill

there's a special place in my heart you fill

once you're in pain, my heart aches

but when you smile, it always wakes

**********

In the night alone in my room

I pray that you will get well soon

I look at the sky, I see you in the moon

I think about you all day and afternoon

**********

You're chair is empty at the table at lunch

There's someone missing in our family bunch

your car seems sad

I think it misses you bad

but it's us who miss you most

when you get well, we'll drink your toast

Time to Come

I can't sleep at night anymore

my thoughts and my hopes are having a war

next year will be better, that's what I keep hoping for

but it turns out, every year is worst than before

***********

My hopes are fading away with fear

bad thoughts keep whispering in my ear

asking what's going to happen next year

they're all going to go and leave me here
***********

The ones I turn to are going to be under different skies

I'll be left alone wondering where's the sunrise
***********

But if my hopes came up again

they will want to stop the rain

they'll say as time took them, it will take me

on the land, under the sky, over the sea
***********

It would take me hours, months, and miles

but in the end I’ll see their smiles

Noises

War, damage, violence, where is all the silence?

One shoot makes a war, one market makes a mall,

A chubby cat scratches my door

Buildings are getting more Silence is dying and that’s for sure

***********

I wish I could turn the traffic diversion into the Pacific Ocean

And the ugly crimes into some beautiful rhymes

And the killing knife into a peaceful life

No more fights and suicides, we want back our rights
***********

Why the war? Why the gore?

They want the petrol, they want much more

They fight over the land

They bury us under the sand
***********

They made rich and poor

They made nice and cruel

They invented good and bad

They discovered happy and sad
***********

They made weak and strong

They did right and wrong

They made wars And they made (mine and yours)

They made hell with their hands

They could've done a heaven on lands

Long Life...but yet So Short

I hate you...you move so quick

you limit my life...you make me sick

keep building walls, brick by brick

we're all your victims, you don't have to pick

*************

You control our lives, you put the rules

life is your performance stage, you've got the tools

attached with strings, we're your puppets and fools

you make schedules, meetings, and the base for schools

*************

Go ahead ! Keep passing by

generations went I wonder why?!!

keep stealing our days, years, let them fly

give us birth dates, and watch us die...

*************

I hate you, you move round and round

your ticking makes the saddest sound

and moves faster than any heart's pound

there's your little black secret that I found

you last forever while we rot underground

*************

Yesterday we were all living nice and slow

until you came and made seconds flow

"do it quick" you ordered "ready, set, go"

you cover up with memories, ambitions from head to toe

but inside of you the secret remains to blow

you are the demon that makes us grow

*************

I wished someday I could make you stop

I tried to kill you but you didn't drop

you seem to go faster when we're on top

your material is expensive, and isn't sold at any shop

*************

Losing time is a crime that can't be made up with a dime

eternity and life with you...they can't rhyme

*************

Immortality is a door you severely lock

immortality is a door we hopefully knock

but we're blind, it can't be bought, it's not a stock

I hate you, you viscous demon, you clock...
