Man and his Boat

on the walls of this creation the almighty wrote

truly I created the world with good and bad, O’ Man take a note

bestowed on Man part of my own supreme self

however, he keeps on doing wrong and sure missing the boat

Wrongdoing

Man is indeed born to do wrong

no way out, other than to learn and stay strong

wrongdoing is truly part of our being and this life

tragedy is when we keep on doing wrong and taking misery along

Footprint

any of us as we leave this life and go to the unknown

we sure leave a footprint of some sort on the face of this earth,the only thing we own

the best of such prints we can ever leave behind, remember

is when we guided a lost soul in need of the way to be shown

Resting Place

the ground you step on so firmly and proud

is the home to thousands of kings and queens who lived under the cloud

we will all end up in that same home of darkness, just remember

the last resting place for all men, remind everyone else aloud

Home

home is where you are at peace, happy and
