My Holy Land

The gloomy moon,
Gazing at me.
It steals my smile
And throws it to the sea.

I stay alone,
Raising my hand
Hoping to reach
my holy land.

I face my fate
With pain and cry.
I hate my life
Where Roses are dry.

I'm all lost,
Can't find my way.
In this dark night
Nor in the day.

At last I see
A bright golden route
Expanding through the sea
Where no one bruit

I start to walk,
But never can't stand
When my soul talks
To a nice green land.

A Dream World

Dream of a world so beautiful and fine
No corruption, poverty or any crime
No difference of status, color or creed
Everyone living in harmony and peace
World full of peace and celebration
No child labor or pollution
No war, no weapons or any enemy
Brotherhood and love would be the only scheme
Freedom to live, love and live life
The only three things we need to do
No law, government or policy
No system of money; everything should be free
Heaven would then be on earth
With everything we ever wanted
Dream of a world so heavenly fine
May this dream come true some time

Life

Life has been admired in poem and prose,
It is so beautiful just like a rose,

It has views with the beauty,

Like rose, with shades so pretty,

It is tempting with all it’s charm,
Though a sea but not quiet and calm,

It has colors of a rainbow,
This gives it attraction and a firm glow,

Yet, life is not all joy and fun,
Happiness and brightness of the sun,

With its charm, it has some thorns,
Which make a person weep and mourn,

It is hardship, and strophic,
Not so easy as described.

My Dream World

I dream of a world,
A land of peace, a land of joy,
Where nobody causes destruction nor destroy.

A world free from poverty, free from adversity,
Where everyone loves mankind and promotes unity.

I dream of a world,
Full of cheers, full of kindness,
A place where there is no terrorism, no crimes.

Where people live to serve humanity,
And respect the emotions of humanity.

A land where the sun rises high,
This is the world which I dream of day and night.

God’s Creation

The heaven above, the earth below
Make us feel protected in His shadow

The nature around people
Is good enough to make us appreciate this world

The brain he gave, intelligent and pure,
Gives us ideas which can always cure problems

The people around, friends and enemies
Who make the best of our companies

Now we can say our almighty God’s prayer
To thank him for this world
And give him something in return
