The celebratory spirit it brings with it lingers still.
That of this year seemed different to me…
People seems more honest in their gift giving…
And in their celebration…

Why this change?
Could it be that the current economic quagmire induce this change?
Could it be that there is a mass recognition of the true meaning of Christmas?
Could it be that commercialism is finally letting go of the death grip it has on Christmas?
Maybe it’s all in my head, or just a fluke…

The honesty and innocency of Christmas almost shone through…
Almost, for certainty of that may not be embrace at this time
Till the next Christmas affirms of denies this…
Now let’s move on and see what the next Christmas has to say about this.

I hope the elected remember their promises…
To keep and to uphold till they are fulfilled.

It is one thing to win the votes in an election
But another to win and keep the minds of the voters,
Some vote out of duty, some out of ignorant, others out of passion and zeal…
Nevertheless the voters have all spoken
and a winer has emerged…

Emerged to what or for what…
Is the question that has to be answered
Is this a wining victory, or a loosing victory for the elected?
Time shall tell…
Now that it is all done…
Let’s wait and see..

How they grow louder and louder…
They come wave after wave persistently
with each wave getting louder and longer
while the intervals between the waves get ever shorter and slimmer…

In vain I searched for a quite place, space or crevice
From which to observe this curious occurrence
The stupefaction and idiotification of the masses by political frenzy
The question that comes to mind is, What happened to civilization?
Or was there ever one?

The line have been drawn, sides have been taken
I can see and feel the tension mounts as both sides tear at each other like savage beast
Their sense of reasoning seems to have vacated them..
The media that is supposed to be the watchdog for the truth are the first to sacrifice truth at the alter of delusion.
The intellectual elites, though opened their mouth, what come out are devoid of objective rational…
They are like brutish plagued with imbecility.

Open your eyes and reasoning to see the travesty that’s staring you in the face
The line drawn is false. For before you is a political trickery…
This is nothing but one coin…..
So what you think are diametrically opposite is not so
but two sides of the same coin…

I suspect who ever wins come election day, would make no difference…
For there is one that always wins, the one that own the coin.
Ho the noise again…
I wish these fools will be quite, if only for a while, and let common sense prevail..
Ha, I almost forgot they’ve killed common sense…

We learn continually…
Accumulation of information in hopes of increase in knowledge
How to get this done….
How to get that done…

We are so enamored with learning how to
That we run the risk of not making time for the actual doing
In being so preoccupied with the study of life…
We never make the time to live life.

Always learning…
But never getting any wiser
Becoming more inform in theories…
Practically becoming more bankrupt existentially
We are studying ourselves in to imbecility

The silence is so definite and overbearing
My feelings can not sense the silence…
But somehow I can tell of the empty silence

Engulfing me like a shroud…
But leaving no sense of touch or contact
My nerves reach out…
Striving and straining to sense the surrounding
Perplex by the void senseless sensation…

I think but I can not think
I sensed somehow, though I can not sense
That I am cocooned over by void of silence
I can not feel…
Please do not ask me how I know…
For I do not know, but know somehow.

I feel nothing…
Not even me, myself or I
In that moment when time seems to freeze
And you are left in silence devoid of feelings
When you can not even feel you…
Senses feelings are phantoms here
