			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">I see you sitting,<br />
lonely,<br />
with your eyes<br />
fixed<br />
on the floor.<br />
Afraid<br />
to face the world<br />
alone,<br />
you&#8217;ve locked your<br />
heart<br />
behind a door.<br />
The perfect key<br />
you<br />

all I need to get<br />
inside,<br />
but somehow, in<br />
your<br />
hollowed out shell,<br />
You&#8217;ve<br />
found a place to hide.<br />
I want to look<br />
into<br />
your eyes and<br />
tell<br />
you, &#8220;It&#8217;s Okay.&#8221;<br />
But<br />
if I do not know<br />
what<br />
is going on,<br />
How<br />
will I know what to<br />
say?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Recalling the past, good or bad.</em></p>
<p><em>Experiences that made us strong enough,</em></p>
<p><em>Events that we couldn&#8217;t put aside,</em></p>
<p><em>But we kept as treasures into innermost part of us</em></p>
<p><em>Stories that perk, perks up our day,</em></p>
<p><em>Travels that thaught us to grow in wisdom,</em></p>
<p><em>People we met along the way, made us know who we are ,</em></p>
<p><em>But when our reflection send us to the other way around,</em></p>
<p><em>Stories that wreck us to create good plans,</em></p>
<p><em>Experience that made us stuck ,</em></p>
<p><em>And almost can`t move on from painful times,</em></p>
<p><em>Events we found ourselves unhappy,</em></p>
<p><em>Had no guts to share it to anybody,</em></p>
<p><em>If it`s unhealthy and only make us worry,</em></p>
<p><em>Instead of take the chance to make life worthy,</em></p>
<p><em>Now it`s time to move and ,embrace the day we own,</em></p>
<p><em>Delighted by the countless blessings we got,</em></p>
<p><em>People that shows their care to us, </em></p>
<p><em>Special moments we cherished and kept into our hearts,</em></p>
<p><em>..As our Reflection may serves us an energy to face this unpredictable life&#8230;.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Science is knowledge, magnificence pansophism!<br />
Extreme erudition of unmatched intellect,<br />
in all its compelling branches;</p>
<p>The beautiful and dynamic achievement of flight.<br />
A kite flying with great height.<br />
A curveball thrown with might.<br />
Phenomenal &#8220;Aerodynamics&#8221; allows such sights.</p>
<p>The amazing structure of the human body such as the heart;<br />
Eyes that view a visual art.<br />
Ears that tune Mozart.<br />
Without the extraordinary systems of &#8220;Anatomy&#8221; we truly depart</p>
<p>The fascinating studies of humankind.<br />
Values help us to be kind.<br />
Beliefs are a part of how we are designed.<br />
The enthralling and humble &#8220;Anthropology&#8221; allowing us to be refined.</p>
<p>The remarkable mystery of reconstructing past societies.<br />
Biofacts help pieces together ancient aristocracy.<br />
Artifacts help determine historical tendencies.<br />
Adventurous and valuable &#8220;Archaeology&#8221; traces of our ancestries.</p>
<p>The wonderful feeling and marvel of observing the night sky&#8230;<br />
Planets are the starting point in charting the galaxies, nothing to defy.<br />
Calendars, how else would you know it&#8217;s July!<br />
The mystical stories of &#8220;Astronomy&#8221; is where our answers lie.</p>
<p>There is a fabulous world of the living that the human eye can not see.<br />
Bacteria without you there would not be food on land or in sea.<br />
Earth&#8217;s microscopic decomposer and carbon releaser, nature loves thee.<br />
Most see it as disease I see &#8220;Bacteriology&#8221; as exquisite, maybe it&#8217;s just me!</p>
<p>What could be more delightful then knowing our genetic code?<br />
DNA the carrier of our complex traits, an imperfect human mold.<br />
Chemical processes in living organisms, a sight, if able to see, to behold!<br />
Unbelievable and monumental is &#8220;Biochemistry&#8221; to mapping the human road.</p>
<p>I admire the ability to see every aspect of life in a living organism.<br />
Classification of species helps define humanism.<br />
Behavior the study of stimulus-response may help destroy racism!<br />
I find comfort in &#8220;Biology&#8221; and in its explanation of this organism.</p>
<p>I could not be more grateful for the importance in plant life!<br />
Oxygen is life, without it we&#8217;ll all be in the afterlife.<br />
Medicine is the healer and prevents the surgical knife.<br />
We all should be thankful to lifesaving &#8220;Botany&#8221; and its lab in the wildlife.</p>
<p>There are so many other branches of science: Climatology,<br />
Entomology, Ecology, Marine Biology&#8230;<br />
And this is just a poem, not a report, to marvel at science.<br />
Beside this scientific mind has run out of rhymes</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>an old man passes</p>
<p>in a fancy drive</p>
<p>by this hidden city</p>
<p>where hearts get ceased by jealous rips</p>
<p>and magical carpets full of tiny lights</p>
<p>hiding lonely stories and innocent gossip</p>
<p>black gardens hanged by pearls</p>
<p>and stars..</p>
<p>hallowed by shying hopes</p>
<p>that&#8217;s you tonight</p>
<p>my home town</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>same old plot, new passion</p>
<p>two masculine mountains&#8230;</p>
<p>staring at each other</p>
<p>who frees the captured soul?</p>
<p>resting in between</p>
<p>who lives there&#8230;</p>
<p>who smiles here..</p>
<p>who wonders if someone is thinking of you..</p>
<p>or doubts that someone cherishes another&#8230;</p>
<p>in my home town</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Like every week at this time..</p>
<p>winds from the crowded capital</p>
<p>blow, push me, like a sail</p>
<p>then steadily cradled</p>
<p>by welcoming breezes</p>
<p>in early galleys of my town</p>
<p>gently pulling the drive</p>
<p>while scanning memories</p>
<p>chasing far away thoughts</p>
<p>of an old man</p>
<p>driving through this highway</p>
<p>tonight</p>
<p>cross my home town</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>*Duhok is a province<span class="woo-sc-ilink"><a class="info" href="">Download</a></span> in Iraqi Kurdistan Region</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  day  you  were  born, you  were  a  star</p>
<p>Like  someone isolated in a single  car.</p>
<p>Whether you make or you mar</p>
<p>or  you  initiate  a  healthy  war</p>
<p>All these  things  are  worthless  so  far,</p>
<p>leaving  aside  you  as  the  single  star</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The day  you  die, you are  just  born</p>
<p>You  can  be  killed, your  spirit can&#8217;t  be  torn</p>
<p>Surrounded  by hypocrite friends  and  enemies  hypothetical</p>
<p>Making  your  every  moment  so  critical</p>
<p>Even  enjoyed  your deepest cuts,</p>
<p>remembering  that  the  darkest  hour  has  only  60  minutes</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You  alone  have  to  face  the  critics</p>
<p>when  everything  surrounded  turned  into  bricks</p>
<p>Still  you  survive  in  between</p>
<p>a  world  which  is  so  mean -</p>
<p>to  take  advantage</p>
<p>whether  you  do  a  job  or  you  study  in  a  college</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You  always  recover  from  your  past</p>
<p>whether  you  were  placed  first  or  at  the  last</p>
<p>Hardly  anyone  helps  you  rise</p>
<p>Still  you  fly  faster  than  all  the  flies</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Like  all  the  books  in  the  library,</p>
<p>your  name  is  also  isolated  in  His  diary</p>
<p>You are  alone  even  in  a   group</p>
<p>though  your  life  follows  a  closed  loop</p>
<p>You  have  no  allies  but  only  agents</p>
<p>You  are  a  superpower  like   the  colourless  paints</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>God  is  alone. Even  He  is  isolated</p>
<p>You  are  the  only  one  whom  he  created</p>
<p>You are  your  father, you  are  your  mother</p>
<p>You are  your brother, you  are  your  sister</p>
<p>Everone  surrounded  is  only  you</p>
<p>It&#8217;s  you  and  you  alone  in  the  queue</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sun is  alone, so  is  the  moon</p>
<p>You  will  leave  your  clone  at  the  darkest  noon</p>
<p>With  the  same  pain, the  god  lets  you  off  the  freedom</p>
<p>Which  he  gave  the  day  you  were  created</p>
<p>and  which  you  enjoyed  during a stardom  which  was  isolated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I always dreamt  to  be  great<br />
Regularly complained of my poor fate<br />
I knew nothing would be done<br />
Bleady simplex transmission</p>
<p>I am a wave, HE is the guide<br />
Still HE never takes my side<br />
Never does HE  answers , always ignores<br />
Well , that&#8217;s the destiny I endorse</p>
<p>As  usual , the days  passed  by,<br />
Every night I used to weep and cry<br />
For something I didn&#8217;t possesss<br />
For something which HE gave me the  less<br />
But one night everything changed around  me<br />
To  re-register  my  faith in the presence of  HE</p>
<p>That dark night , I asked -</p>
<p>&#8221; Shower  your grace<br />
  Beautify my face<br />
  Make  me  look  handsome<br />
  Set  my  life  less  cumbersome<br />
  Let  me  grow  healthier<br />
  And  show  me the  ways  to  become  healthier &#8221;</p>
<p>For  me, the  biggest mental freak<br />
That  bleady  dumb  didn&#8217;t  speak<br />
At  the  time  for  a fresh  day  to start<br />
I  went  to  the  bed  with   a  hope  in  my  heart<br />
I  woke  up  only  to  see  a  dark  scar  on  my  face<br />
Perhaps  his  only  path  to  be  examined  under  a  trace</p>
<p>And  then  I  heard -</p>
<p>&#8221; Both  God  and  Devil  are great<br />
  Both  creates  and  masters  your  fate<br />
  But  Devil  responds to  the  greedy<br />
  And  God  responds to  the  needy &#8221;</p>
<p>I  made  a  mistake  only  to  conclude<br />
Optimism  is  good , but  greediness is  what  you  should exclude<br />
Keep  smiling  and  believe in  the  God<br />
Because  that  Devil  is  ultimately  a  frowd<br />
After  such   a  miraculous  power  presentation<br />
I  have  nothing  left  to  say  about  that  last  conversation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunday. </p>
<p>Subtle tones of humidity in the air.<br />
Neck tension catching on fire.<br />
The window&#8217;s telling stories.<br />
The rain&#8217;s playing hide and seek with the sun. </p>
<p>And everything stinks like false priorities. </p>
<p>To the majority at least. </p>
<p>Everybody&#8217;s one last excuse before being buried alive. </p>
<p>The guilty following the carnival<br />
To the big black house of redemption. </p>
<p>As the rest of us reduce our<br />
Spirituality to Video Games and TV </p>
<p>In search of the same fulfillment. </p>
<p>Sunday. </p>
<p>The knives still stuck in all our backs.<br />
We follow blindly. </p>
<p>One day to remember<br />
What we do not have.<br />
What we can&#8217;t achieve. </p>
<p>Recruiting others. </p>
<p>Only the children,<br />
In their abandonment,<br />
Have left the masses<br />
To honor the universe<br />
And it&#8217;s secrets. </p>
<p>So when we fiction<br />
Our way to next Sunday<br />
We might leave a friction<br />
Up to fate. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Magic Bumble Bee</p>
<p>The birth&#8230;.</p>
<p>I was born of nothing, and nothing ever was.<br />
I think if there was nothing, we wouldn&#8217;t have a cause.<br />
The dreams they came from no where, a funny place to be.<br />
I think I heard it coming, that sunny bumble bee.</p>
<p>I dream of things that could have been, and dream of things I could have seen.<br />
What dreams, what mixed up thoughts, of times gone by and nothing!<br />
And nothing happened with a bang!<br />
A flash of light and then a blast, I flew into the sky so fast.</p>
<p>And now I&#8217;m on a journey, a journey to somewhere.<br />
 I wonder where I&#8217;m going, and when I will get there.<br />
The time flies by as we go fast, I think we&#8217;re looking at the past.<br />
My dreams are gone, I think we&#8217;re here; we&#8217;ve travelled through the stratosphere.</p>
<p>Sometimes we try to understand, and what we see is in our hand.<br />
The darkness gone, the light is here, as we travel through the stratosphere.<br />
There is no god, there&#8217;s only light, and you can&#8217;t see him in the night.<br />
There&#8217;s something else that we can&#8217;t see, I think it is a bumble bee.</p>
<p>With darkness gone the light will shine, if only we could see through time.<br />
I know it&#8217;s god I know he&#8217;s here as we travel through the stratosphere&#8230;..</p>
<p>The birth of the sun&#8230;.</p>
<p>Into the darkness of the night I&#8217;m sure I saw a different light.<br />
It shone so bright, it lit the tree, where I saw the bumble bee.<br />
Into the universe was born, a light that shone into the morn. </p>
<p>It started from deep within; you could have heard them drop a pin.<br />
The light was born, the time was now, they never had a sacred cow.<br />
Into the darkness came the light it shone out brightly in the night.<br />
It danced, it jumped, it sang with glee, cause it was happy to be free.</p>
<p>Without the light, what would we see, would we see the bumble bee.<br />
We need the light to shine so bright, and light our way throughout the night.<br />
We don&#8217;t want to be in the dark, we can&#8217;t go playing in the park&#8230;.</p>
<p>The birth of a child&#8230;.</p>
<p>A child is born into the light, a saviour of the people’s rights.<br />
Who knows the message that he brings, and the secret of the ring.</p>
<p>The new messiah cometh here from far outside the stratosphere.<br />
Into the world the saviour born he comes without his crown of thorns.</p>
<p>He comes because we cannot see, not because of bumble bees.<br />
He has message that he brings, of things, of things, and things and things..</p>
<p>The Fallen Angel</p>
<p>She fell from heaven in the night, oh isn&#8217;t she a pretty sight.<br />
Her lips are red, her eyes blue, her crown of light comes shining through.<br />
Was she pushed, or did she fall and did she slam against the wall. </p>
<p>She&#8217;s lost from heaven all alone, I wonder if she&#8217;ll make it home.<br />
There&#8217;s something she can feel inside, there&#8217;s something from the other side.<br />
It fills her troubled heart with fear, because she thinks it&#8217;s coming here.</p>
<p>There is a message sent from hell, she came down here for all to tell.<br />
You know the message, it won&#8217;t be long, don&#8217;t let them sing the sacred song.<br />
I won&#8217;t sing. It won&#8217;t be me; I won&#8217;t kill the bumble bee.</p>
<p>If you had thought you&#8217;d get away, and come back on another day.<br />
Well think again the time is near, it&#8217;s only in another year.<br />
Don&#8217;t be scared, and don&#8217;t you cry, cause maybe this is just lie&#8230;..</p>
<p>Broken heart&#8230;.</p>
<p>I gave my love as people do; you took my love I gave to you.<br />
I said I&#8217;d love her for all time, I wonder if that is a crime.<br />
The years they came, the years they went, I always thought<br />
that they were meant.<br />
You broke my heart, I don&#8217;t know why, I never understood the lie.</p>
<p>When darkness falls into the night, I cannot see the fading light.<br />
I wander here, I wander there, my heart is sad when you&#8217;re not there.<br />
The light within my heart grows dim, and I know I&#8217;ll never win.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m lost just now, I don&#8217;t know why; I wonder if she&#8217;ll ever cry.<br />
I think about her all the time, but now I feel I&#8217;m doing fine.<br />
She broke my heart, she doesn&#8217;t care, and people only come to stare.<br />
She trapped my heart, it&#8217;s in tree, I wish It was the bumble bee.<br />
They say that love will be for ever, but never, never, never, never&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>The Fire bird of Satan</p>
<p>Satan&#8217;s sole is trapped with chains, heavens let him out again.<br />
He came up here to claim your sole, and he brought with him the plagues of old.<br />
The signs are out there that he&#8217;s back, I heard a rumour he brought Jack.</p>
<p>The wings are pierced, the chains are tight, oh this is a ferocious sight.<br />
To let him go would be sin; his evil friends are closing in.<br />
It won&#8217;t take much to set him free, but he might kill the bumble bee.</p>
<p>Although some of you don&#8217;t believe, the fate of life is with the bee.<br />
If he escapes, and he gets free, I know he&#8217;ll kill the bumble bee.<br />
So if you see him in the dark, don&#8217;t go playing in the park.<br />
Go away and hide somewhere, and never let him know your there.</p>
<p>A time of change is on its way, were going to see a different day.<br />
It&#8217;s coming soon, it will be fine, there&#8217;s going to be a change in time.<br />
Look at stars to see the sign; it&#8217;s coming from the depths of time.<br />
If only we could understand there&#8217;s going to be a change in man&#8230;</p>
<p>Loss of faith&#8230;</p>
<p>I told your story from the start, the world and heaven far apart.<br />
They say that we all look for love, we seek it out from up above.<br />
I looked up to the stars above, to see if I could see your love.</p>
<p>We worship him, who&#8217;s up above; we worship him we look for love.<br />
You think it&#8217;s real, I think it&#8217;s not, but no one seems to care a lot.<br />
We need his love, we don&#8217;t know why; the story often makes us cry.</p>
<p>The story never told of bees, the bees that sleep amongst the trees.<br />
It always spoke of you and me, but never of the bumble bees.<br />
We wonder if he&#8217;s coming back, the man of glory with the ark.<br />
He said he will, but I’m not sure, he promised to look at the poor.</p>
<p>If you believe and you&#8217;re not mad, don&#8217;t you think that this is sad?<br />
A story that is in book, a story that has been mistook&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>She cannot see..</p>
<p>She cannot see, she is not blind, the eyes she had, were so kind.<br />
Often she will dream of love, the type that comes from up above.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now, she&#8217;s in the dark, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the park.</p>
<p>She wears the rag so they don&#8217;t stare, and they can&#8217;t see her walking there.<br />
It&#8217;s always night, it&#8217;s always dark and she&#8217;s walking in the park.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now, she&#8217;s in the park, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the dark.</p>
<p>She dreams of light, and dreams of day, and dreams of where she used to play.<br />
She wants to be, she wants to see, she wants to see a bumble bee.<br />
If we could give her back her sight and take her from the lonely night. </p>
<p>If only we could understand, the power that is in our hands.<br />
To help someone, who cannot see, and maybe even set them free!<br />
Her voice is silent in the night, it might be cause she&#8217;s lost her sight.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now, she&#8217;s in the dark, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the park.<br />
She&#8217;s lonely now she&#8217;s in the park, she&#8217;s slowly walking in the dark&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>The flood&#8230;.</p>
<p>The light shines out for all to see, the waters came, it wasn&#8217;t me!<br />
The flood it happened in the sea, I think it was the bumble bee.<br />
From where it came, I&#8217;ll never know, the waters flowed and flowed and flowed.</p>
<p>We had been warned, we had been told, the future of the world was sold.<br />
We sometimes listen but do not hear, we think it is a time of fear.<br />
He wasn&#8217;t happy, he was mad, the sea was tall and getting bad.<br />
The waters deep and dark and blue, it only made me think of you. </p>
<p>We&#8217;re now alone, around us sea, the water rises above me.<br />
The flowers gone, and I can see, the dying of a lonely tree.<br />
If only we could understand, this is his place, this is his land.<br />
He gave us life, he gave us hope, we wanted more than just a pope.<br />
We never listen, we never care, it looks as if we&#8217;re going nowhere.<br />
We&#8217;ve got to think, we got it wrong, we should have heard, the sacred song…</p>
<p>The golden moon&#8230;.</p>
<p>The golden moon it shines its light, it shines upon the evening night.<br />
The evening light it fades away, and closes out another day.<br />
The light beams streak across the sky, I wonder if they&#8217;ll get me high. </p>
<p>The rosy lips, their coloured red, a kiss from them could make us dead.<br />
The apple sits below the tree, it dropped from high and now it&#8217;s free.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to think, If you were free, would you sit under the apple tree.<br />
The serpent snakes they sit and wait, you better watch and shut the gate.<br />
As time goes by, you wait and see, in case we see the bumble bee!</p>
<p>The love gangster&#8230;.</p>
<p>He broke her heart, he&#8217;s out to win, we all think that this is a sin.<br />
He talks about, he walks about, he doesn&#8217;t care a jot about.<br />
He never cared, he never will, as he walks smugly down the hill. </p>
<p>The ring of steel is round his heart, it&#8217;s always been there from the start.<br />
He knows the game he plays it well, is it so easy for him to sell.<br />
He walks through life without a care, he wonders why there&#8217;s no one there.</p>
<p>They love his eyes, they love his smile but they should run a hundred miles.<br />
He won&#8217;t commit he never will, he&#8217;s always sitting on the hill.<br />
He looks on down from up above and swears that he will share his love.</p>
<p>His hat is tall, his hat is smart, he uses it to break their heart.<br />
He leads them in, he wins their love, and then he takes of like a dove.<br />
If only they could see his wings, they&#8217;d go and look at other things.<br />
I think I see, that he may be, the keeper of the bumble bee&#8230;..</p>
<p>The tree of life&#8230;.</p>
<p>The tree of life, it cannot speak, but if it could, would it be weak.<br />
It knows the story from the start, it is a tree, but has heart.<br />
Its eyes are open, but can it see, the tree of life is watching me!</p>
<p>He watched the story, it did unfold, he kept the secret, and has not told.<br />
We stitched his lips, and stitched his eyes, so he could not, tell a lie.<br />
The tree it grows from underground it does not hear a single sound.<br />
It reaches up into the lights, the tree of life it loves the night.</p>
<p>From far away the moon looks down, it shines it&#8217;s light upon the crown.<br />
From deep within the serpent crawls, he tries to steal the secret haul.<br />
Do we not care about the tree, it guards our life, it guards the key.<br />
We should do more to save the tree, it gives out life for you and me<br />
and also for the bumble bee&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>The rose&#8230;.</p>
<p>She knows her name, she has my heart. She always had it from the start.<br />
The symbol of a love forever, I always hope we&#8217;ll be together.</p>
<p>In time we got to know each other, it ended up that we were lovers.<br />
We walked a road, we shared the space, it took us to a greater place.</p>
<p>And through the time we met as one the Rose, the symbol of our sons.<br />
I need her more than words can say; it couldn&#8217;t be a different way.</p>
<p>We know each other like a book; our love has never been mistook.<br />
She is for me, she is the key, she holds the secret of the bee.</p>
<p>I love her now, I loved her then, I&#8217;ll always love her as friend.<br />
The time it comes, the times it goes, I wonder if she ever knows&#8230;</p>
<p>The bumble bee&#8230;.</p>
<p>He seems to come, and then he goes, from here to there but<br />
 no one knows.<br />
He has a queen, she has a nest, they tell me that it is the best.<br />
He needs the sun, so he can fly, away from all the butterflies.<br />
He travels here, he travels there, but we can&#8217;t see him anywhere. </p>
<p>He works so hard, you&#8217;d never know, but he is always on the go.<br />
If not for him, we wouldn&#8217;t see the people that we want to be.<br />
He works his magic in the sun, I wonder if he&#8217;s having fun.<br />
He has a secret no one knows, he helps to make the flowers grow. </p>
<p>So if you see him, don&#8217;t do a thing, or he could hurt you with his sting.<br />
He isn&#8217;t bad, he isn&#8217;t good; he just thinks he&#8217;s misunderstood.<br />
Well let him live, give him a chance, and he will do his magic dance. </p>
<p>Around the flowers he will go, and he will put on quite a show.<br />
Remember this, and don&#8217;t forget, the bumble bee has been sent.<br />
Sent to help from up above, so don&#8217;t forget to give him love.<br />
Maybe it&#8217;s that we can&#8217;t see the magic of the bumble bee.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pearly pebbles blanket the shore in varied shades of gray</p>
<p>A lone loon calls for a mate just inside the bay</p>
<p>Pines greet the hazy sky,</p>
<p>Encouraged by the wind</p>
<p>We lay here thinking of our time,</p>
<p>Our reflections bare a grin</p>
<p>Starving our shallows in the feast of our treasures</p>
<p>The happiness may steal our time</p>
<p>But the time we cannot measure</p>
<p>Say anything, say anything</p>
<p>Because the sky sustains our gaze</p>
<p>Counting down,</p>
<p>Age, we will</p>
<p>May we remain within this endless maze</p>
