Only One knows Where I get this courage To smile in the worst of days And be gratified with the least of bread In an age that has lost all trust in us The genuine smiles being only diplomatic With barbed strings attached to generosity Only turning you and I more skeptical Somewhere in the hearts of men Still lies benevolence As homo sapiens, Filling our emptiness with camaraderie Is one subtle essential often ignored So take the first step Be the reason behind another's smile Shut out all the pessimism Give selflessly The world will have every reason to giveback. عبدالجبار  Kampala 18/10/23

I am trying to live a full life again Though it all seems like yesterday If memories could only be written in pencil, My brain's wrinkles would be lesser. As erasing would no longer be much of a pain I am still learning how to look within  To find my gem amongst the rocks. Seems further everytime I reach out Feels heavier everytime I reach it. Throwing me into a merry-go-round of déja Vus My arms are still wrapped around consistency though. I am starting to see things inside out Or rather, upside down, whatever! I will get me a rose flower tonight To give more thought to the beauty... ...of the thorns on the stem from which she stood out. 'cause her charming petals may not really last.

Before you step out this day Take caution You're gonna see a lot of ways That claim to be the solution Yet only swaying you away Take caution Everyone else is thinking their own way Yet the world is as well filled with notions  Claiming 'wisdom' so you have neither say Nor freedom to take the right decision As you return from your day Know that this world hasn't the ultimate satisfaction Something way better awaits So let it be only a contribution To your best life after the end of days. As you let this sink Consider quitting the rat race Or just dont let it be The only race you ever ran.. ..for there is one better That you could actually  win. The choice is yours though, Jabbar
