Even if it’s me

Even if it’s me
The cause and effect
Of this love that burns endlessly
And in the end, dissolves within me

Even if it’s me
The shadow that waits for you
In the randomness of late hours
On empty streets where memory falls

It doesn’t matter what they say
Or what they think of us
What is love if not the pain
That inhabits what makes us alone?

Even if it’s me
The one who gets lost,

Arrive Alive

 

Road crashes are every minute 
Here and there, in every point 
More than a million killed a year 
And speed is death, no doubt 

 

“Drive Safely” is only choice 
ٍSafety belt, has no "price" 
Come back safe for the family 
We live "once", not twice 

 

Road is not real excuse 
But the behavior is a main cause 
For crashes all over that world 
No more anger .. no abuse

Believe to Live


 

Be happy with what you have 
Then you will have what you hope 
Firmly, work and save

It depends on you more 
Than a reason or a cause 
Not because rich and poor 
Your brain, how much knows 

 

Do believe in God's Judging 
And gain your thought results 
God never asks a jumbling
But to be aware of the facts

Cause and effect

That single drop in the ocean

that butterfly flutter

that ripple in the potion

that nervous stutter

 

The reason follows 'because'

a fall after a stumble

a gamble after a pause

lightening before a rumble

 

Blooms from the seed

seed from the flower

the cycle of life

revealing endless power

 

An effect follows a cause

some larger, some small

all fol...
