Sammy's Little World

[sammy_tsang]

Their perception of weather

Sun worshipper, farmer or gardener.

They worship the weather
And hope for the best.
All worship the weather
And hope for a rest.

Sun, rain, sleet, snow, hail, wind.

Too cold, too hot.
Too humid, too dry.
Too dark, too bright.
Too calm, too windy.

They all perceive the weather differently…

The Four Seasons

Forever Autumn falls
The Winter blows cold
The birth of Spring is appearing
And glow Summer is flowing

[sammy_tsang]

Writer's flow

Many ideas are entertained
Here's Writer's block?
Too many to entertain.
Writer's block elsewhere.

Would be grateful.
This flow is just a mere
If not at least fateful
Distraction that will disappear...

Poetry

I play with these rhythms
Knowing that I’m wasting my time.
Looking back, what was I thinking
Writing that?

To be within the mind of the poet is to
Have some understanding of the poems.
To be within the mind of the audience is to
Only have a perception of the poems.

Thus these poems will have sufficient meaning to
Those who lay their eyes upon them.

[sammy_tsang]

After a few

Drunk drunk I can feel the funk.
Drinking can be fun at times.
But not all the time.
Health and mind could become hindered.
But what can one do when writing while drunk?

Written Literature

One has not written or studied poetry since youth.
One hopes the art of poetry has not been misplaced.

To ponder over the wonders of articulation would
Consume time one does not have.

Contemplation over inscription would symbolise the
Possession of written manuscript.

Analysing language ought to present simplicity in hypothesis
However generate unnecessary complications in observation.

[sammy_tsang]

Writing Style

From reading that I’m left helpless
If I could ever write half
For I am forever speechless.
Of that my heart would laugh.

[sammy_tsang]

Attack and defend

I make no move.
Attack attack. I make no move.
For you are the fool.
Attack all the angles.
Shall be covered without a move.

Strength in numbers
But you are as one.
What can't be seen
For I have won.

Attack me with your words if you may.
But I shall only gain from everything said.
You shall be in dismay.

In the end you shall lose it all.
Then again don't we all.

Before this has begun I have already won.

A thought for technology through time

Since the beginning of time mankind has invented tools and equipment.
The primal use of these instruments were to help man in daily activities.
In terms of workloads, efficiency, safety and simplicity.

However this has been distorted due to monetarism, consumerism and industrialism
The primal purpose of these instruments has changed to produce
The maximisation of profits.

As much as technology is a good thing
There is still a problem to be solved.
The problem is, are humans forgetting the traditions and skills of the past?

Technology could lead mankind as a whole to greater purpose.
However it is the greed of the few that could hinder and destroy this…

Shadows of darkness

It can do many things to people
Some amazing, some ridiculous.
In this depression the mind
Becomes clear within the distortion
For only a moment.
Then the mist of confusion
Reappears in fragments.

[Frustrated Panda]

Quite the compilation of poems there I havent written one for a long time.

[sammy_tsang]

Pen or pencil?

To write in ink
Or with lead?
One is permanent.
The other faded over time.

A blunt pencil can still be used.
Whereas a pen with no ink is confused.
Manipulate the one but not the other
With the use of a rubber.

My handwriting is terrible in ink
But elegant in pencil.

[sammy_tsang]

Blood

Parent offspring sibling
As transparent as the sky.
As opaque as the clouds.

Hands are bound.
Unspoken sentiment
Known to all.

Avert the mirror.
Obliterate and
Not reiterate.

Form the mould.
Escape with a fold.
Alas the cast…

Knowledge, resource, understanding
Is all there somewhere.
Counsel, confide, compassion.

Care, choices
Angry, hatred, tears
Not always.

Were in this situation not long ago.
Have you forgotten?
Will be in this situation in the future.

Have you forgotten?
Past is obvious.
Future is obscure and ambiguous.

Learn from past
And not emulate.
Eventually all that is left is blood...

Emulation is never desired?
Derivation of heredity
Shall conclude here...

The necessity for money

I have no desire for this
Yet without this, life would be difficult indeed
I have a desire for what this can provide
Food, clothes, health, home and bills paid for.

Can the world without this be fathomed?
Maybe the question should be rephrased.
Can the world entertain this thought?

Perhaps in the short term
Unlikely during the long term

Possibly from the beginning?
