Soar Like Eagles

Soar like the eagle

Emperors of the sky, Majestic birds so graceful they fly, Building their nests on some lofty solitude, Amazing is their fortitude.   Eagles don’t flock, Turkeys they mock, Eagles soar to great heights, Proudly displaying their might.   Eagles don’t escape storms, Soaring above storms is the norm, They rise on the winds, Below them the storm sings.   When ...

Learn From Kites

Kites

The kites flutter in midair, Joyfully without any care, Against the winds they rise with such grace, Their fears dispelled without any trace.   True courage is like a kite, Over opposition it rides, Hold on to your goals, Pursue them till they turn to gold.   The optimist ponders how high his kite will fly, In life he doesn’t ...

Laughter is like a breath of fresh air, Keeping our worries at bay, It’s an instant vacation, Helping us cope with our emotion.   A day without laughter is a day that goes to waste, Laughter adds joy and zest, Seven days without laughter makes one weak, So carry laughter with you throughout the week.   A hearty laugh gives ...

Haze

Haze

The haze is back again, Our prayers have been in vain, The green and blue are subdued, Overcome by brown and grey hues.   The acrid smell permeates the air, Lingering in our clothes and hair, The smoke irritates our noses, As we inhale pollutants in small doses.   The Pollutants Standard Index is rising, The government doesn’t seem to ...

Jimmy & Juliet

Jimmy & Juliet

The death of Faridah sparked a public outcry, At the brutal hands of poachers she died, Leaving behind a heartbroken Jimmy, Sad as a man running on empty. Like a phoenix rising out of ashes, Jimmy has emerged from his sadness, His ...
