I dreamed

by tacio

I dreamed a life of a wonderful tomorrow

A life where everything is easy and fun

I dreamed my dream will be given

And that I can reach the highest stellar.

In time of youth I was filled with hope and courage

I was vibrant and energetic to reach it

To fly and travel the world

In shame and failure I oversaw

Problem came yet I sought solution

Unraveled and sewn the thread of suffering

I fought and risked until the end

After that I reached the limit of hope

And fate subverted to trap me

In dungeons of agony and weep I lived

To possess freedom and peace

I cannot achieve and grip

And she came to me full of love

In her words I was fully submitted

But she was so cruel and savage

Until my last dream is destroyed into shards

Although the story of my life is so tragic

I'm still believing that everything will be well

Seasons may change fast forward

I will still wait for her to come back to me

I dreamed that this is only a dream

A dream that does not exist nor real

I hope that this will be ended soon

But still my dream is always a dream.

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.

Religion

Religion is where a person placed his trust and faith according to his own belief, knowledge and culture. Religion does not symbolize that if you belong to it you do not have to respect others belief and faith. Some sect and other culture criticize and ravingly contradict other religion, because they are claiming that their party is the chosen one, and has granted the eternal wisdom and salvation. Religion as we know today is mostly affecting people's mindset and the way they live. Sometimes it controls them on a way that is directly associated with people's action, discernment, relationship and etc. Religion is the most controversial and influential body in the universe, because it penetrates different aspects of the human life such as emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual, and alike.

Religion for me is letting oneself to be near to its god/s. To help people to mold them into better ones and to seek wisdom to be able to surpass everyday obstacle that comes along the way, and seeking redemption after expiring from this world to have an eternity with deity.

I can categorize religion into different types of it based on the deity or nature that they believe.

1. Belief in One Mighty God and creator

• Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and every religion that believe in One and Only Mighty God or to Jesus Christ.

2. Belief in Wisdom and Enlightenment

• Buddhism, Confucianism and alike

3. Belief in Human Power and Legacy

• Shintoism and alike

4. Belief in animate, inanimate and spirits

• Indigenous beliefs

5. Belief in Human Observation, Knowledge and Natural processes

• Scientology

6. Belief in multiple gods

• Hinduism

7. Belief in Darkness and Evilness

Based on these types we can see that every existing religion on earth has different and peculiar way to express their praise and exaltation to their supernatural being/s or subjects. Because by glorifying and commending them they can have an extra help and graces send to them.

But based on the contextual reading, the Bible said in the Book of Revelation, that only 3 religions on the surface of the planet hold the true and genuine belief and religion. It did not specify what are that three religion to receive redemption and eternal life from God. But on my own understanding and perspective the three religion are referring to those who believe in God of Abraham and Israel, and also to those who believe in Jesus Christ are the ones that explicitly pertained in the Book of Revelation. Thus, any person or belief that is not fallen under this will be perished and never enter the everlasting life in heaven.

Religion is very important to us people because it is our way to express and seek help from a divine or extraordinary being. However, we cannot tell the most perfect one and the real one to believe, but the thing here is that the way we live in the world, our interpersonal action, the goodness you have done and the good legacy you leave to this world will be graded and most important in this life.

Whisper in the Dark

By tacio tamayo

Before the day ends and gloomy surrounds the night

I say goodbye to the brightest ray of daylight

And welcoming the musk after a short twilight.

Embracing the whole area to become so dark

To turn the trees into slumberness stark

Nocturnal beasts go out to feeding are to hark

Started with a moonless night and shrouded cloud

In a pitch-black sky the moon appears with doubt

Full moon flaunting like a trumpet that so aloud

I've the urge to play and dance under the moonlit

Transforming the night into a marvelous bit

Bringing up the night with exaltation and wit

I desire more for you in an eternal ware

But a plight of you is going so fast and near

Whispering in me that the dawn is come to flare.

Unfortunate

by tacio tamayo

How terrible my life is in this world

Full of anguish and wounds my spirit

Finding the true answer to my exit

Wandering around to search for a gold

Somewhere in this place has the solution

Solution that everyone is involved

To the true case of our condition

Seemingly they just blinded by their golf

Try to stand from your immobile chaise

To heed the listless ones and lost like us

A Reminder from a sage and a wise

Not eternal you'll reign in that office

Still the situation is not changing

Rather it goes worsen and malady

Push us more into pit of suffering

Wherever tomorrow can save today.
