I was walking in a prostitutional nightmare,

it had sexed with fear, insecurity and hopelessness,

my rose withered,

while my heart trailed in offensive night,

dusk became my morning,

where sunlight was spilled by

an oblivious source,

a bright waste on the blue napkin of the sky

My soul turned to bones,

where loneliness and self-destruction

was eminent,

the clouds fell to the ground,

choke by the floating ash of my discouraged words,

so my life was dark as mystery,

I was walking death,

happiness, scarce,

such was the burglary of heartbreak...

till I met you

when you kissed me,

it was daybreak,

then the sun gained Samsonite strength

and dethroned the forlorn darkness,

a dove was smiling in the sky,

I could finally smile,

since you visited me

with your morning glory.

my fortune shed its leaves

and flew away into the dastardly wind,

by the novel of bitter destiny,

but it was non-deciduous, as my riches

never returned

A cool wind murdered the warmth from

my body, made naked by wretchedness,

my hands, living sackcloths, clothed only

a decimal of my body from the chills

the sun shined hypocritically,

telling me things were going to get better,

but the siege of chilly winds still proceeding,

I only prayed to God for survival,

and guess what?

I survived.

when night comes to town,

and the wolves howl at noon,

you must surely hear the sobbing

of weeping bullets,

and the invasion of danger

upon your life

the clock turns backwards,

and days of the sackcloth are rewinded

by these black signs,

it's the cobra of misery,

the fangs of poverty,

that seeks to bite you with

the venom of torment, this very moment

and your mind,

is like a mercedes benz,

raptured by a fatal accident,

you can't think straight,

you children's school fees have awaken

with a financial haunt,

christmas is near,

you have to fund your late father's funeral,

what are you gonna do?

SUCH, are the crosses of maturity.

There are two types of people in this world with contrasting types of attitudes towards life.  One type of people belong to the category of people who have a huge feeling of superiority complex and boast about what they have, while the other type of people belong to category of people with inferiority complex always thinking about what they do not have.  While the first category of people ruin the lives of others with their unnecessary boasting, the second category of people are even more dangerous ruining their own lives.

People with Superiority Complex:- People take great pride in telling others about their wealth, properties and achievements.  Among people with superiority complex, some of them are actually good people but then these people have a weakness  as they do not have the ability to resist their urge to convey about their achievements to other.  However  to many others boasting about things they have what others do not have is intentional and  it is a way of hurting others  and treat it is an opportunity to hurt others especially their enemies.   There are few others who derive sadistic pleasure in talking about their achievements to somebody who actually lacks it. A person who has lot of properties derives great sadistic pleasure in talking about the new properties he has purchased to somebody who is reeling under loans and one who wants to sell of his property.  These type of people always creates stress for others especially for those who are already suffering.

People with Inferiority Complex:- People with inferiority complex are one up on people with superiority complex as they take the responsibility on themselves to ruin their own lives.  These type of people always spoil their mind thinking about things which they do have, but others have. They create stress for themselves and the environment they live in.  They not only ruin their lives but also ruin the lives of people associated with them.  It is a well know that stress spoils our health.  These type of people not only spoil their health but also of their families.

While people who have everything in life should behave in a more mature manner in the general well being of the world, people who do not have should make an effort to live satisfied lives.
