Perhaps life is like a fairytale

In order to get your ultimate happily ever after

You must suffer a thorny path of trials and tribulations

Like cinderellas cruel enslavement  before her prince

And Aladins miserable poverty before his golden lamp and genie

Yet once proven sincerely worthy of a happily ever after

May one reap the harvested glorious joy of a blissful eternal life.

Only*  one person can bring you happiness
Not your family, friends or even your lover
That person is you and only you
And once this fact is accepted
Happiness is *right within your reach

History* is *such an integral subject
One if learnt from can change lives
It makes  people realise; violence isn't the answer
It makes  people think; of alternate solutions
Coming to the conclusion that
Peace, integrity and unity
Is the only way us humans can thrive.

We must learn from the past
After all mistakes are made to be a lesson
If this is done so
Many lives and livelihoods can be saved

Alas  however the irony of our past is
We must watch, agonisingly , as history
Continues to repeat itself.

You came to me
On the 14th of February
With no chocolates
In your hands
You must have  forgot

You came to me
And held my hands
Whilst telling me that
You loved me
I was soaring into the sky

Then you said but
And I saw no roses
In your hands
Making me crash hard
to the ground; so cold
On the 14th of February

Happy Valentine's Day love
I hope  she was *worth it

We search for ways to get high
So as to forget the lows
