Shoutout for a better future

Why is it that a lot of politicians now a days are all so superficial? They're like hypocrites in sheeps clothing. I hate hearing from the media what they are doing to one another. It just irks me to listen to them wage war among themselves. Have they nothing better to do? Those who rant and rave to the people about what they think is right have no right whatsoever to delude the people with their superstitious crap. They think they are better than the other which they are not. How can they even believe that they are far more better than the one sitting there right now?What exactly have they done that would make they worthy of our trust?Trivial and trifle little things I'm sure. But what they really did was feed off on all of us. Sadly most of us are idiots if not gullibe or naive. We don't really give a damn if those flowery words of milk and honey they promise us is for long term or just temporary. Most people would rather settle for the temporary gratification rather than looking forward for the future. Like I said, most of us are gullible little sheep in the palm of the evil shepherds that is our government leaders. I wonder when our country will ever prosper. Perhaps when all those power-hungry, money grabbers stand down and relinquish their throne, then I'm sure there will be some change. Unless we want to continue being blind and deaf to everything, then there will be no future for us or our motherland. It is sad, but it may be true. So if you want change, make a move, not war or protest, do something worthwhile. Find a job even if it pays little. The effort you make can make a difference. Don't just listen to what others say, try to think about it, see if it would make a difference for everyone and not just yourself. After all, everything starts with some little effort and determination to make a difference with your own hands. So vote wisely this coming election. Don't throw away your right to a better future, for you and for your children and their children's children. Who knows, there might not be any future for them if you callously throw it away for petty money. Believe. Vote wisely. Love your country.

Goodbye

All this time I loved you.
You were my sun,
and I was your moon
forever shining in your shadows.

You were my star,
and I was your loyal stargazer
I kept on reaching for you
because I want to be a star too,
a star that only twinkles for you.

I was a dreamer,
and I guess I will always be.
For you and for me,
I dream of an endless fantasy.
Where happily ever afters came true,
and true love does too.

You once promised me a rose garden,
where love and happiness existed.
You were my Adam and I was your Eve,
forever living in paradise.

I believed in all those things
I thought it was happiness that it brings
But I was sad and confused
it seems that what we have is a constant feud

My tears are constantly falling
and my heart is slowly breaking
I am dying from too much pain
but I kept on believing,
even if there was nothing for me to gain.

Now my world is a complete mess
I feel like a pawn in a chess
playing like there is no tomorrow
only to realize that I am full of sorrow

How can my world be so twisted?
Were we not meant to be fated?
I am so lost now,
I don't think I will be able to give you my everlasting vow.

I love you
I wish you only knew
But like a love that's not meant to be true
It only makes me blue

It was good while it lasted,
but its high time that we separated,
and not let much more time be wasted
for a love that was not meant to be fated.

I'm through playing pretend
its time that I put this to an end.
I love you,
and I will always do,
But I have to say goodbye to you.

The Dreamer

Once when I was young I used to believe in fairy tales. I use to think that I lived in a magical world full of prince and princesses and enchanted forests and magical creatures. It was my dream to find prince charming riding upon his sturdy white stead all shiny and prince like, ready to sweep me off my feet and live happily ever after. Yes, I was a dreamer then and I guess I always will. Up to this point I still hold on to that dream of princes on white horses. I keep on wishing that someday it won't be just a dream, but a reality. There was a time when I thought I could believe in that dream coming true. I thought I have found my prince charming on a white horse. He was glowing brightly like the sun. At one point, I really believed he was my sun. I was so happy then. My happily ever after is finally beginning. It was pure bliss when it started. It felt so good. I had butterflies in my stomach every time I was with him. It felt like paradise for me. I did not want it to end. I was living my dream. Nothing mattered to me back then. It was just me and my prince. But I later discovered that that moment was just temporary. It was not meant to last forever. But, stubborn as I was, I refused to accept reality. And perhaps I still do. My head and heart are still in the clouds. Believing in prince charming. You see, even if life is cruel and harsh, you still find something magical in it. That magic makes life worth living. Even if prince charming is only found in story books, there are real life princes too. They may be not as good and perfect as the ones inside a fairy tale, but they are life savers. They console you, wipe away your tears, offer a shoulder to cry on, make you laugh when your down, and most especially makes you believe that prince charming does exist even in the real world. I have found my prince charming once, but I did not hold on to him. I let him go. Because I realized that prince charming is way out of my bounce, so I'll always be just a dreamer.

A day of nightmares

Have you ever thought that your nightmares will come to haunt you one day? That they meant to give you a warning ahead of time? Most people don't really believe in it nor do they even think about it. But sometimes, certain unexpected events from those nightmares do happen when you least expect them. I never thought that I'd be haunted by them in broad daylight. But I was so wrong. It plagues me every excruciating moment as I sit here and recall everything so vividly in my mind, like a movie reel going on and on without end. I can just see it now, as it happened so early in the morning. I thought I could avoid it, I never even expected it to happen so fast and early as now. I was taking utmost caution to move slowly and surely to prevent anything from happening but I never realized that until it hit me smack on the face. I was so shocked and scared as hell that I stopped the engine automatically and went into nothingness. My legs were frozen from terror and my mind was reeling from the incident. All I could hear was the furious beating of my heart against my rib cage. For a moment I was lost, but something shook me back to reality. It was my father's angry and terrified voice. He was jamming the gear shift like crazy and yelling at me. But I was so numb then that I couldn't understand a word he was saying nor did I get what he was trying to do at that moment. And then all of a sudden I just stomped my foot on the clutch, switched on the engine, and jammed the gear shift into reverse and then forward to move my car to the other side. I was dizzy from all the adrenalin rush that I couldn't think or speak for about 2 seconds. I was clutching the wheel like metallic clamps that were hard to pry off. I took one deep breath and looked back for the car I just hit. Then it was all a blurr. The car was gone, I was in shock and reeling from fear of what just happened. I was so terrified that I was shaking from head to toe and all I could think of is finding that car and apologizing and make amends for what I did. So I waited but the car was nowhere to be found anymore. I was stunned by that realization and the next thing I knew, I was home. And now I'm being tortured by that very scene every passing minute. I feel like I'm going crazy from it. I want it to stop so badly but it keeps on eating me up like a life-sucking entity that won't stop until it devours me. I know I did something wrong, but I tried to make it right, only I wasn't given that chance. I am so scared out of my wits right now and I do not know what else to do. If only I heeded to my nightmare that night, then maybe, just maybe I could have done something to stop it from happening.
You see, road crashes really are very traumatizing. I know that now. This event may serve as a lesson for me, and I will learn from it. I will try not to succumb to its vicious torments, because if I do, I might lose everything. Including my desire to go out of my house.

A day on the road

In our present time, I have witnessed a ton of road crashes and it makes you wonder why that is. Well, if you are a driver then you should know the reason why. A lot of drivers now a days are irresponsible and reckless. They do not know how to follow traffic signs nor do they give way to others on the road. I bet most of them think that they are high and mighty on the road. Well that's just down right wrong. Tons of people litter the road and road sides and being undisciplined on the road could mean the life of a person, or even your own. I as a newbie driver have seen these events and it is frightening just being on the same road as they are even while inside my own car. Three days ago I witnessed a truck and an armored car collide in the reclamation area. The armored truck was hit smack dab at the driver's side and sustained a huge amount of damage. It was horrifying as it was sad to look at. All I could do then was watch and pray for both parties during the collision.
At a glance, it makes you wonder whose fault it was. While most onlookers and passers-by make conclusions as to who was at fault. But you see, in road crashes like this, there is really no who's who, because both parties were at fault. Why is that both are at fault you say? The answer is simple. Both drivers lack discipline. It is a drivers responsibility to have discipline while on the road. It helps prevent road crashes and it can also save a life. So the next time you venture onto the hi-way or whatever road you take, remember to be a responsible driver and think of others. Who knows, the life you might save maybe yours.
