Flawed yet Infinite

3017f034432413.5605fd6c997f6

Transient hearts and faces,
Frames made of clay
Cracks in many places.

People aren’t usually great,
Greatness is in the ideas, the deeds, the creations
Created by a flawed human race.

We were flawed before we did something great,
We were flawed when were doing something great,
We will be flawed after we have done something great .

No need for blame or guilt, flawed is the way of mortals,
A child forever, Ignorant, dependent and fragile,
Flawed yet infinite in their potential to produce greatness.

Emotional Detox – Day 2. Fallen Birds

katharina-jung-photography-91

What if birds were never told
That they can fly?
No one showed them how
And no birds that they knew ever flew,
Do you think they would even try?

Not A Happy Women’s Day Kinda Woman

c56f06d99127262c3c9b06feef3a0724

Don’t wish me a happy women’s day,
I don’t need it or care for it.
I don’t deserve it neither should I have to.
I am not a woman who has given up her dreams
To fit in a man’s dream
Or sacrificed her joy for everyone else’s,

To Greatness & Back – A Full Circle

8de4eda3dc9cc61ba5a2bf48782c9613

You do a full circle when you see
How little are the objects of your worry
And you look at the bigger things
Life and its meaning and meaninglessness,
Love and all that it should be
And all that it can’t.

When You Know

4da170f2b8fd2b75f0c36ac6144a9bef--angel-s-angel-wings

When you know what you ought to do,
When you know what it is you want
All the pieces fit together.
The discontent, the feeling of being lost,
The endless search and the failures,
Continue reading “When You Know” →

Synchronized To The Drum Beat

009c6c5687a480c1ebe97a8664efd4c1--conceptual-photography-creative-photography

Thoughts, dreams
And all things innate
Synchronized to
The drum beat
Plastic dolls marching
In a street parade.
Do gooders, revolutionaries,
Free thinkers, all aligned
To form their respective lines.

Shine And Let Shine

0476c332bfe22f9a7ae62cf8a53aca2d--conceptual-photography-artistic-photography

It’s those who want to change the world
To their idea of better,
That are keeping it from becoming better.
Change will not come from a revolutionary leader
Who wants to make the world as he is.
Change will not come from
A place of power or influence.
It will come from the masses.
