the big hit

And that safe secure cushy world is torn apart in an instant..
the thing we once consumed has now consumed us
or them at least..for now..
so many lives lost..
lives that were lost before they were lost
and lives that were safely secured..
and imagine those left behind
the devastation..
just for one moment of your vast amounts of time
imagine
what it could be like..
just for an instant..
no amount of insurance could have helped you..
helped you save that loved one or friend..
no..
no insurance..
no amounts of money..
could save a life.
nothing wordly can..
just imagine..
put yourself
in the shoes of a man
who just lost his wife
kids
insurance
money
house..
everything..
just imagine.
would you still DARE to complain
about giving that LITTLE bit of your
wealth to help them..
imagine if one of your own had been affected?
would you then give your life to help them?
would you DARE to complain about the friends around you?
complain about the smallest things in your life?
as compared to somebody who's lost a
life time of work in a single second in time..
take this as a BIG reminder.
and thank God that you weren't the alarm clock..
the big wake up call
that the end is near..
and your end could come anytime.
are you ready?
stop waiting already..
start living with a purpose..
make it count while you can.
because before you know it.
you'll be sleeping with the daisies..
a tribute to those who lost everything
in an instant.

the new year

and so a new year begins..
new opportunities
new chances
new outlooks
a fresh start
to right the wrong
to mend the tears
a new day
to re-think
re-act
your life
forget the past
learn from it
and move on
this year's just begun and
your choices now
determine where you'll be
next year..
a new class
new friends
weird friends
crazy friends
new teachers
nice teachers
EGO teachers
and a whole lot of peer pressure..
the feeling of being hit by a wave of
coarse language and hand signs
that were lost during the holidays
so freshly come back
the will power not to succumb to the status quo of school..
new decisions must be made
new circumstances
and old problem..
solved just before the new year
more or less..
now facing new heights
new tasks and horribly hard decisions..
taking control of your feelings?
taken control by your feelings?
a new outlook on life
restoring relationships
breaking down grudge walls
a new year..
another whack at life again..
