FRIEND
Loving regards for you, friend
Who troubled ‘cos of my troubles
Lending me
Hard to repay
Enlightening me
On that which baffled me.
Loving regards for you
Who taught me not to tire
Knowledge will be less novel when repeated
The soul won’t cease to be when abused
I’m impressed with what you say.
I,ve been to the place
Where praises come cheap
Abuses are far between.
Now I stand here
On my own feet
The brief meeting with you friend
Has presented me the meaning of authenticity.

Shame
You are too good for the corrupt world
There in lies my shame
When we talk of the people
In the language of love.
We make each other see reality
Opening the eyes of the heart
And when we condemn flaws
I become me ashamed
Him whom I condemn is myself.
You are good for the corrupt world
I’m too corrupted for you
And when once in a while we talk
I can’t help being ashamed.
