One week of posting stagnancy is what it takes for me to complete my overladen assignments. Maybe the school should reconsider its homework-giving policies, it's not like I'm the only student enduring these burdens.
It has also come to my knowledge that violent objections towards the new "karang-guni" newspaper fund-raising campaign for the church have arised. Criticisms follow the rationale advocating the absurdity of utilising trash and rubbish as an offering to God. This wasn't my initial perspective I'd have to admit, but I can't say it doesn't make sense can I? Well I'm still standing on the wedge, it's up to you to decide. For me, I thought it was rather creative o.O.
Anyways, I just whipped this one up to add to the list.
Masquerade
Maybe it’s time to scale our bulky metal hides
Maybe it’s time to take it off and take a look inside
We’ve been so hard and lonely that we never realized
Sometimes this life isn’t just about me, myself and I.
We see the devil prowling in our mirrors everyday
We sing his broken melodies in tune and without shame
Maybe it’s time to read the lights, to close the open door
Our dervish souls cry for beyond these sands embed in pain.
Everyone wears a different mask and holds a different pen
Yet for all of them we blindly paid and bought from the same man
He too dons a mask of slyly similar shape and shade
Maybe we should practice how to see things since we can.
Maybe we need a brighter light in this pitch-black masquerade
We’re tearing apart; we’re cutting ourselves with our own humble blades
Time proclaims this depleting life, our fervor for the fall
Maybe we should awake and clean our mirrors today.
