When the unexpected happens and life shows you the other side…
What do you do, how do you react?
When life shows you its other side that you thought you knew…
But you realized that  you really never knew this other side…
What do you do, how do you react?

When the game seems to’ve changed to some other game…
Whose roles no longer matches the one you use to know…
What should you do, who do you turn for help?
Life seems to’ve thrown you a curve ball…
The known strangely now are unknown…

Where once there was laughter…
There, I now see a growing pain…
The answers are not forthcoming..
The questions are not yet formed.
All I feel is growing pain…

Just came back from seeing a movie with my dearest
What an awesome and beautiful cinematography…
As we walked back home we discussed and exchange ideas
On what we thought of the movie, the characters and the story plot…

The development of the characters, and their impact
Their struggles, their pains and final triumph…
Gosh, as we talk a certain feeling gradually rise from within me…
Aha, I’m use to this feeling, but the intensity is growing…

Yes, it is that feeling of appreciation…
Appreciation of something or someone very special…
Appreciating just having someone so special, so lovely to hold discussion…
Grateful for being blessed with such a loving person
With whom I could share my time, my life and my being…

Grateful for being married to such a beautiful soul…
Grateful for being in love and being loved…
Grateful for being blessed with the ability to appreciate this love
For this makes life more meaningful and worthy of living…
Grateful for love, for without it I am lost…

There is a profundity in learning to appreciate others…
Especially what make them different from us…
For that most probably make them unique,
And in their uniqueness they contribute in a special way to life.
Thereby enriching life and its diversity…
Making the world an interesting and fascinating place to live in…

Ours is a society of constant learning
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

In the course of my journey through life’s pathway
I’ve become aware of a presence…
A presence that is always there unnoticed
It’s there in the dark and in the light but still unnoticed.

Perplex by this constant presence, I dare asked..
Who are you or what are you?
Why are you always in the company of humans?
It looked at me steadfastly in response to my questions.

Then calmly said…
I rule over human kind and my name is Hypocrisy
I dwell in every human and make them do my biding…
I endued them with the ability to change faces at will…
They love to hate me, hence the denial of my presence

In rage I grabbed its by the  throat and slammed it against the wall,
In response it let out a grotesque spin shilling laughter….
Pinning it against the wall, I looked into its eyes
Beholding all forms, size, color and types of humans
Among them I saw one that looks very familiar…

No not familiar, it was I…
I was staring at me
And of all the hypocrites I saw, I was the most…
The most… the most hideous
O my God, what a state of denial
We are all hypocrites, but of them all…
My hypocrisy knows no bound.
