Light Upon Misery

By Tacio Tamayo

Born with envy and discouragement

It was so depressing to know the truth

Of my innocence I shall inherit a load

To carry over my origin's sin

Opposing the will of fate with vigor

Suppressing the instance of such trouble

Enduring the night and agony of the day

Concluding that I am frustration and belittled

Can you please seek for me and explain?

Why the things like these bringing forth

In my ignorance I am being ordeal

For my predicaments are so hard like rock

Prepare to me a defiled discourse

Because I am sated already in this life

Crammed of maze and puzzlement

From beseech to abject servile

Then once I woke up one frightful night

A vision I saw in the midst my dreams

Revealed to me that my life is greatest

That I shall not to proclaim my pang anymore.

I pondered upon this apparition

That my life in not at mess or dilemma

To find the brighter side of it

Between worries and obstacles of mine

So I mustered again my strength and power

Though surrounded by bad memoirs and fate

Because I know life is just and unbiased

Soon I will see light upon my miseries.

Freedom

When are we to say that we are free? When are we to know that freedom is with us? How does freedom get? Where does this dwell?

A life that is under someone's command or authority and does not do anything it wants to do is not free. Freedom is the source of somebody's happiness because he can able to fulfill his wants by being free to do anything he wants in his own volition. Freedom is free from slavery and authority of others. Democracy and sovereignty are fallen under freedom. Because of freedom we are able to decide who will represent the people towards progress and aims of the government. Freedom has something to do with the bill of rights of the people. Bill of rights is the privilege and rights of the people to act and implement their freedom to do anything, unless limited to defilement and destruction of others dignity and life.

Freedom is in a person when he definitely acts in a normal way. Without this sense of natural action, it cannot be told that freedom is really held. Freedom is achieved through people's way of living and their ability to respect others. Freedom is within us in our heart, mind and even in our soul. Peace, love and respect are the key points that can be pertinent to it. In peace the people can be able to live in unity with loving each other and giving other the chance to practice their right, rather than subverting them. Respecting others may tell that no meddling to someone's want to freely do whatever it is.

Therefore, life may be free from any misery and burden that others laden to them. Moreover, freedom does not constitute that hurting, inflicting or abridging someone just to practice one's right and freedom is right. Contrary to it, it is always towards others welfare and well-being that freedom is given to us.

Indifference

By tacio tamayo

As I live my life

I saw that I am different.

Different from the rest

Saying that I am not like them.

I was a child when I felt

And experienced the desolation.

But I cannot hide the fact

That I am not like the way they are.

Alone and no trusted friend,

In times of problems

I, alone facing with God.

It is difficult to be under this curse

That nobody is in your side

To catch you when you stumble.

Deep inside of me

I yearn for freedom

So that this indifferent of mine

Will be fled.
