You've heard me sing that song a million times
The tune, the melody, the lyrics that rhymes
Have you seen the question in my eyes?

I've spoken words and exchanged a sentence or two
expressing and hoping you'll understand me too
Have you seen the heart that sighs?

Pictures you show can speak a thousand words
You want the world to know that you're powered
with Riches and Wealth, all is but an empty shell.

Just felt like penning something really complicated. I think its nice to imagine a good life as one of comfort. A leather seat posh convertible car. Ur shades and credit cards. The coolest funkiest music played in your car. Giving your friends for a ride. In a pub sharing a few laughs. Great grades and sitting in a leather massage chair in the privacy of your own office and space. People knocking at your door for your signature of approval. Name cards that spell out Very Important Person. Priviledge cards, special treatment. Coming home with a garage to park your car. A maid to serve you with dishes hot and yummy. Lighting made of spotlights or maybe crystle chandelier's.

It all sounds really grand, marvellous and splendid.

I once thought it was great too. But its all a fake! It's not great at all. I know deep down inside there's MUCH MUCH more things that are more precious than these 'worldly desires'.Some times its the simple things of life that makes me happy. Forget about all of it. I just want to head down to the market and sip my tea and eat my roti prata. Spend time with my family and God. You don't have to wait for years or for your bank account to increase 10 folds to have a beautiful life. You can start having one... now.
