Puppets

In a stage with  no director
The black and white puppets play freely and wildly
Following false orders of greed
Fulfilling the dictatorship of the false prophets
Leaving them dreaming for false hope
For the director has long gone
Where is the light?

Who dare wake the baby up
While he was sleeping safe and sound
Deep in the undone dreams
Of joy and brilliant future..
Who do these puppets believe in?
When there are no prophets to trust
Where is the light?

Who dare pull the trigger
In the sight of an innocent boy
Time cannot slow the speed
The hunger of the eyes thy cannot feed
What are these puppets doing?
When the act of the false prophets are despicable  
Where is the light?

As the blue sky turns into crimson
And all that's heard is the cry of the son
The daughters' laughter turn into terror
As the puppets keep playing
In a stage full of psuedo-honor
The ensemble of adhan and bombs keep echoing
Where is the light?

There stood a boy in the center of the stage
Bringing nothing but a peaceful heart and a candle
It's light shine so bright that it's blinding
The baby rocks gracefully in his cradle
Daughters start singing and boys start playing
Their hearts spoke of peace only the wise can hear
They are not puppets nor are they prophets
They are the light.

Roads

Symbols of life appears differently to every person, but for me, roads are the closest symbol that can represent what life is. There will be many paths and types of roads we'll find and pass by in life, and this is what I want to share.. :)


In some fortunate times life can be as easy and smooth as a straight road..

                                                                   
Sometimes it can be unpredictable like a hairpin bend. Surprising and risky,
we can't predict what's on the other side of the road.

Sometimes we are confused and messed up by the drastic changes we face in life, the rise and fall.
From blessings to God's test, from the times of our lives to the worse.

                                                                                                                                                          


And most of the time life can be steep. It needs a lot of effort,
time and energy to reach the top.

  
                    
                                                                       

















And there are also times where God wants us to go through dark tunnels,
without giving us a clue what's in the end, what's waiting for us on the other side of the tunnel. Then we questioned ourselves, "What is His plan?"

But there are two things he never forgets.

1. He never forgets to shine a light in the edge of the tunnel, "the source of light and hope".
2. Only by our "faith" we will be encouraged and assured that in the long, dark path, He's there, holding our   hands and guiding us through the tunnel.

So will we be discouraged whenever our plans don't work out the way we want it to? Is it OUR plan or HIS plan that becomes the focus of our lives? Most importantly, will the obstacles, rise and fall, fear of what comes tomorrow and lack of faith hamper us from delivering His message and carrying out his missions in this world?
Your path, your choices...
