Photos snapping
Delivery of words that pleases the ears of men
Curriculums receives praises
Grants pour out
Picture perfect solutions,
The government invest
While being comfortable in their beds.
A short-term project for others
Are lifelong struggles to some
While some come for the cheque
And can clock out
For some
This is life
No getting out.
Behind a case file number
Statistic,
Vulnerability at its highest
Seek for its inner child to be consoled.
Survival without life
Is more colder
Than icebergs singing its Arctic woes.
Surface masquerade
Can only fool everyone
Except yourself
Put yourself first
Because your soul will walk with
You
The First
And the last
Unseen reflections
That will be quick
To humble
Any egotistic possessed.
