People - the generation

It’s funny how people say that things don’t affect them but it actually does. They come up with a full frontal of being the strongest human there is though facing their worst part of life. Behind it all they just fall. They are human after all. It is manageable and understandable.
I have jackass for friends and bitches for companions. People can be self absorbed assuming thing evolve around them. Selfish, thoughtless and ignorant people, the world is full of them. I admit I can be one myself. I was given a chance in love; rejecting it then breaking a person’s heart. This place got me realizing how different people are. I sometime miss being who I can be, a little more self aware. Why bother about people from A to Z when I am only N? Give it a chance; people tend to grow on you.
I’ve got to learn to care more about myself than others. Example, it matters to me if a friend of mine needs help. I’d go to the edge of reasons to lend a hand. If it is otherwise, it never seems to concern my so called friend. It doesn’t matter if I had to walk home in the rain. Yes, yes, they have their excuse. Who am I anyway right? Oh well, walking is good. Don’t mind it. I just realised how much I give and gain nothing back.
I am taken for granted, as usual. You then realized sooner or later, who cares? Or in due time you realize that there are actually people who do appreciate your presence in this world. No matter how bitter life can be towards you, there is sweetness somewhere. The world we live in can no longer be trusted. If you’re rich for no reason, it could be a scam, fraud, or embezzlement. If you’re the fastest man on earth, you’re on dope. There’s no good in the world anymore is there? People do things and want something in return these days. There is no longer such thing as for the great of good or in the spirit of sportsmanship. So how do we continue to live on?
You can’t give a blind man 10bucks without wondering if you’ll see him the next day driving a Honda you’ve been saving to buy without his walking sticks but with the same shades he used to ask for money. Miraculous it may seem, but it isn’t. People change to adapt to situations. The world is changing, we’re adapting.
Televisions these days are running out of shows too. The other day I came up with one called “Man vs. Beast”. Where human compete with the wild. It’s utterly ridiculous. You cannot compete with living nature, they are made that way, and they do not own the civil mind to tell what’s right or wrong. They do what they were born to do and they do it best. Men cannot stoop in such level. There’s a sequel to it too, “Man vs. Beast 2”. People do watch this, I admit I did.
In the movies hitch hiking is made legal and seemed safe. In real life, if we hitch hike we would not end up to the destination we so planned to be in. I can’t help it if every time I flip through the pages of the newspaper all I see is rape or murder. Today’s headline would be “Six year old daughter rape by own father”. What has become of the world today? If we can’t trust our own flesh and blood who do we trust?
It’s bad enough that the world out there is harassed and mutilated by human’s actions and reactions. It’s worst that you can’t trust yourself that there could be good in people. Being aware of what is happening doesn’t change the world that is now. Ignorance doesn’t help either. What has become of us? Patience is a virtue; patience is the only thing we hold on to.

Nervous Butterflies



Nervous butterflies,
Lead me the way,
To truth and beliefs,
From hurt and betrayal.

Nervous butterflies,
Let light give you flight,
Let light be your guide,
Away from darkness and uncertainties.

Nervous butterflies,
Keep my hands held tight,
Give me strength and unity,
To open doors for things we avoid.

Nervous butterflies,
Trust in me as I trust in you,
No more heart breaks,
No more lies.
