Let's get started
this is the time we ought to do something remarkable our lives and for our motherland.Our ancestors have done their bit, now it's our time to shine. So lets break the cucoons of stereotypicality and rise above the masses. Lets fly so high that everyone can see us. Lets venture into the unknown , do what is not yet done and create hope for the next generation. Let's be that generation in fact.We ought to be in sort of a "space race" with the ideal model of ourselves.There's not a single minute to waste, so lets get cranking, lets will to expand our boundaries .Think non linearly and act with precision , art and genius. Lets create the next best thing for the coming century.Lets be the next best thing for the coming century.Lets endeavour to live our lives so well that when it comes to dying, then even the undertaker will be sorry.
Life
When its all said and done
the thing to face up to
is whether you got a life worth living,
where there's meaning and purpose
behind the apparent foolishness
of daily existence,
where what goes on between the ears
is less loud than that
of everything else,
where what's done
makes it easier for everyone else
to live their lives well
as well,
and where when you put your head down
on the pillow each night,
there's just a little less of a mess in the world
then when you started,
all those hours
earlier.

Two legged stool
Like a two legged stool,
I couldn't stay upright
on my own,
and so devoted a life
to facilitating solutions
to this flaw.
I sought parental love,
then that of my friends.
Quaaludes and acid worked,
as did playing guitar in a band,
studying philosophy,
riding Harley Davidsons
and jacking off.
None of these come with a warranty or anything,
and in the end failed,
so I simply learn to live
all wobbly and teetering,
though when I didn't fall over
right away,
the imagery
of the stool
faded a bit,
leaving me to realize
yet again
how the subtle delusion of belief
steals my heart
far more frequently
than any person,
place,
or thing
ever saved it.
