Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is here

Let me make it clear

Santa don’t bring me anything new

I’m okay with the few

I have enough

I need no more stuff

To junk up my place

I need open space

Give to those who need

That’d be a good deed

All I need out of the deal

Of rice and hot chicken curry

Is one great meal

Won’t you please Santa baby

Give it to me.

Mind

Your mind is like a garden

Fertile as it was in Eden

Filled with fruits of possibilities

If you tend it diligently

 

Just like a gardener tends his plot

You’re responsible for your lot

It’s your job to prune and weed

And to find the perfect seed

 

A mind is a terrible thing to waste

So use it well with use it with taste

For waste not want not

a successful crop you will begot

Chasing Darkness

We chase the darkness

Like adding fuel to fire

Creating more of what we do not need

Looking outside ourselves for answers

When all we have to do

Is look inside

And switch on the light.
