Regrets

I had not known early on
my health will be dependent
on what into my mouth went;

I had not known early on
how to spend my money
and my time wisely;

I had not known early on
my habits will be
hard to change after forty;

I had not known early on
the world owes me nothing
that I ought to make a living;

I had not known early on
the folly of not listening
to wise advice for my taking;

I had not known early on
the sacrifices my parents made
just to raise their kid;

I had not known early on
the helpful and inspiring part
of the Bible from the very start;

I had not known early on
there is no better exercise than
reaching down and helping people up;

I had not known early on
that saying "I love you" to someone
should be done as often as I can;

I had not known early on
that letting go is an act of love
much better than holding on;

I had not known early on
that honesty is the only policy
when dealing with everybody;

I had not known early on
that life is a mirror reflection
of all my thoughts and emotion;

Had I known early
the things I knew today
I could have been a better me!

Anger

...is an erroneous zone,
man enters upon,
when frustration hit,
smack at its target.

...is a psychological flu,
which incapacitates you,
like a disease would,
avoid it, you should.

...is a choice,
prompted by a voice,
seeming not to stop,
luring like a trap.

...is a habit,
get rid of it,
so very destructive,
makes you misbehave.

...is a learned reaction,
not a solution,
a form of insanity,
afflicting you and me.

Where God Is

Is God in churches,
where the religious
pray with the pious?


Is God in temples,
where all people bend
as if to make amend?


Is God in places,
where men of power
make decisions to conquer?


Is God in nature,
where there are pleasures
which mankind treasures?


If God is everywhere,
then, this much is true,
God is in me and you!
