Once King

How deserted lies the soul
That once so treasured
How like outcast is the one
Who once was heir in the kingdom
How like alien is the being
Who once was clothed with regal splendor
How has the value lost
How has the care been withdrawn
How has the honor turned rebuke
Hey! The royalty is lost

How relegated lies the being
That once full of reign
How like slave is the kin
Who once was master in charge
How like servant is the being
Who once was adored a king
How has the regal priesthood departed
How has the kingship suffered abdication
How has the praises turned reproach
Hey! The royalty is lost

"NOTE:Considering the kind of treatment
received when in womb and as baby
then, we realized all are once king – © Thommy’s Poetry

Who Am I?

Who am I?
Think am what you see (my body)
Think am good/bad
Hey! That’s not me
It’s just the veil
Used to mask the real me
Either to please/displease you
You’ve been deceived!

Who am I?
Exhibiting the veil
You accept/reject me
Hey! That’s never my will
It’s just my wish – apparent me
Am relieved but never fulfilled
All for your sake
You’ve been deceived!

Who am I?
Though the veiling ever alerts
True me still flashes unconsciously
“Whew! Never knew he’s like this”
Yes! You’ve seen a little true me
Whence comes my sense of freedom
Don’t be surprised
You’ve been deceived!

Who am I?
Unmasking who I am; the real me
Look beyond my laughter/frown
Examine my smile/grimace
‘Cos veiled by my body:
My soul and spirit
The emergence of the true me
You’ve been deceived!

Body – persona(lity); you has seen by others

Soul – character; who you really are
Spirit – individuality; what distinct you from others

The Making of A Child

When a child lives with criticism
He learns to condemn
When a child dwells amidst reproach
He develops guilt attitude
When a child grows with ridicule
He develops self-doubt
When a child develops amidst hostility
He assumes life full of cruelty

When a child lives with praise
He learns to appreciate
When a child dwells with tolerance
He develops patience
When a child grows with encouragement
He develops self-confidence

When a child develops amidst fairness
He assumes justice and good conscience

When a child lives with security
He learns to have faith
When a child dwells with approval
He learns to like himself
When a child grows with acceptance
He learns to believe in others
When a child develops amidst amity
He learns to show love
