show me the trickhow to catch
more fish today
after that long
muggy boat ride
the fish needs to bite
these wiggly worms
on this fishing line
they're ready
they're eager
to be eaten
to be sacrificed
what a lucky time
the empty buckets
the empty jars
are full at last
and the night is still early
and the dawn is still far
from our sight
fishes from the sea
mannas from heaven
had filled these empty jars
enough to feed
enough to fill these hungry
and growling stomachs
as the bounty is
revealed right in our face
with the answers to questions
that long had bothered us
a seesaw of ups and downs
a yes or no, truth or lies
the weight is as heavy
the weight that
showed us the way
the one, yes the one
that tipped the scale
that stripped off the lies
which opened the truth
in front of our eyes
for everyone to see
for everyone to
be mesmerized...
a terrible strings of words here, so pardon pls. laughs. oh well. very funny that we have to wait and to rely on a scale to show us the way, for we could have used our very own analytical mind to do that for us sooner or earlier. this way no precious time was wasted to nothingness or to the wind :) but that's life, it does play tricks sometimes and this is one of those times...

there is this big gossip happening in the cyber world right now which is just kinda sad. the Internet will cast shadows to one's reputation truth or lies or to any business for that matter. the Phil. Daily Inquirer to be the paper of the intellectuals? and the other one as described as rats? one of my favorite writer as a drug addict so the accusation goes and a whore which came to me as a surprise. it's just that people for some reason or another have this open forum world wide that is very accessible to anyone. a medium to vent out anger to another human being just to get even. dark secrets will be dragged into the open that only the one that truly cares for you will close their eyes. juicy gossip, that is. so it is very disturbing. esp. when you are the one that is being accused of these things. it is better to fight it head on if it's not true. but if it is true, then admit it and seek help. it's your life after all so you needed to take responsibility for it, for no one cares about us the most than us ourselves. there is no better feeling than a clear conscience. and people although not all have kind hearts and will understand, this if you are seen as taking the blame for your mistakes and making an honest to goodness effort to change yourself and your life and be a better person. money is nothing compared to a good reputation. for you would not want to be remembered as a bad person owning the universe. it's better to be poor but being remembered as a nice, kind, loving and a helpful human being. this is my take and I'm sure the majority of you all out there as well...
