Why do you live for today?

Today may end

To give way to Tomorrow

Resulting to the existence of the past

A past we call Yesterday

We cry at the end of Today

But we should smile

For it offers us a new opportunity

A Future to be better than we were Today

A Past we can look back to to correct our mistakes

A Current to live like there is no tomorrow

A Current to fulfill our dreams

A Current to attain our life goals

A Current to do our best

To give our all

In all we do

But be happy

For the blessing of a new day

An existence we paid no price for

Gifts and talents we need to utilize

Aid we need to offer

Love we need to share

Gratitude we need to show

Mistakes we need to make

To learn and gain strength 

To never give up

Or feel lowly of ourselves

For the lives we live are not for our sake

But for His sake

The success we gain is not ours

But His

We live for our families

We live for our future generation

We secure better opportunities for those in our lives or yet to come

For it is more fulfilling

To live your today for others.

Time the Beauty of an Impermanent World

The beauty of an impermanent world

We get to treasure every minute

Every moment

To Love without fear

To Smile and Laugh

To live like a child with no worries

For there maybe no tomorrow to love

For there maybe no tomorrow to smile

For there maybe no tomorrow to live like a child

The beauty of an impermanent world

Our worries, pain and suffering

Are not eternal

They will soon fade away

Joy and happiness will soon bloom

It may not be here

But in the next world

So make your today worth it

To smile eternally

The beauty of an impermanent world

Today I live

Tomorrow death might come for me

I got to see the sun rise and set today

I accomplished my purpose in life

I lived my life to the fullest

I used my potential to my maximum

I shall die empty

The beauty of an impermanent world

I shall pave way for a better generation

Stories will exist

Stories will be told

Of the life I lived

Of the deeds I did

Question is

Will my great grandchildren smile at the tale?

Learn from the tale?

Wish I was alive for them to hug me goodbye?

Will I even end up as a story?

Or my death will be final?

My children too ashamed of the life I lived?

A bad example to my great grandchildren?

My death

An erase of my existence?

My death

My awakening to greatness?

The beauty of an impermanent world

All that is temporary

Is permanent

Permanent as memories

Memories we can hold on to

Meditation key

Key to relive those fragments

But only in our imagination

Smile in solitude

At remembrance of what was once temporary

Now permanent

In our own special way

The beauty of an impermanent world

Makes us grateful of what we've got

The beauty of an impermanent world

Gives us strength to persevere the pain

The beauty of an impermanent world

Gives us hope of better days

The beauty of an impermanent world

Our situations good or bad

Our joy and sadness

Our life and death

Gifts and blessings

We paid nothing to own

Lets share them

Lets value them

Lets learn from them

Lets leave as one

The beauty of an impermanent world

Let your time count

See beyond the norm

It is never
Just...
A crack on a wall
A crack on a ceramic vase, plate or pot.

It is never
Just...
A wrinkled face
A withered flower.

It is never
Just...
A dying person
A dying flower.

It is never
Just...
About permanence.

Wholeness
Beauty
Youth
Life

It is never permanent

But it is always certain

That we will all go through it

And we will all perceive it differently.

But have you ever taken a moment?
To see beyond the blemish?
Beyond what society has marked "imperfect"?
To see the bigger picture?
That is the art that lies within and beyond
Those cracks
Those wrinkles and withered petals
That last breath?

Well...
I have.

I see new beauty
Blinding beauty
Shining like a cluster of stars
With renewed glamor
With intense strength
With intense hope
With a big warm smile.

Cracks that reveal the image of a bird
Cracks that spell out love
Cracks that add new beauty

Wrinkles that spell out wisdom
Withered petals that portray fragility
Wanting to shelter the flower
That it stays bright a little longer
That it retains its sweet scent
Withered petals that show the importance of value for what you have
Before it is all lost

Death
Is not the end
Rather the beginning
Of a new age
Of those that are born today
Death
The last breath
Taken with a smile
With youth in the eyes
Paving a way
To start life again

Impermanence
At its perfection.

You are not your sins, Unless you make it so

They stood and watched

Watched as they destroyed her

Watched as they tore him apart

Piece by piece

They laughed

Found pleasure in doing so

The Id leading in this endeavor

The Superego destroyed

The Ego a puppet to Id's commands

Greed

Lack of selflessness

More on selfishness

Lack of humanity

More of injustice

I - rules

Gluttony

Filled to the brim

Eating like a pig

Consuming past what you can accommodate

It is no longer about hunger

It is a bad behavior

An ugly, disgusting endeavor 

Envy

Jealousy is your middle name

Never happy about others' good fortune

You hate on them

Call them names

Break their esteems

Your behavior towards them

A reflection of you

Hating on you

Vanity

You beat your chest

You are the best

Who told you so?

If you think as far as your nose?

Always about 'ME' ,'I'

Never the person of 'WE'

Pride

Gets no where

Try humility for a day

It won't tire your soul

Lust

Love clothed in infatuation

Desires of the flesh

Kills your worth

Kills your being

My body

The temple of the Lord

Confused whether it is love or lust?

Simple

Happy if the world knows what you have been doing in the dark?

Without a ring on your finger?

Let's parade you on the streets

Let's lay ourselves naked

Let's judge each other?

Let me give you an answer?

No

Let your conscience give you the answer

Wrath

Rage

Will destroy you

Rage

No one likes angry people

Rage

Even the lion knows how to stay cool

Rage

You will regret your actions

Rage

Is not to blame

You

Are accountable of your feelings

They

Greed

They

Gluttony

They

Envy

They

Vanity

They

Lust

They

Wrath

They

Destroy the soul

Make you empty

Stain your being

Make you unworthy

Free from grace

Guilt

Shame

Death

That's what They result to

Anybody can fall victim

Forgiveness is for all

Consequences as well

You are accountable

Point the finger

At you

But all is not lost

You are not a lost cause

Your grace can be restored

Your soul can be made new

Your being can be washed clean

You are worthy

Wrongs made right

Guilt turned to acceptance

Shame turned to example

Death is now life

They

Are not You
