I saw myself in you

as your fear drifted to sunny songs by granny
overwhelming pity surge high within me
then on our faces, shades of pink reappeared
our eyes locked suddenly, and you burst into tears

did you just hear me? did you just feel me?
I wondered then, almost immediately
and later it finally dawned on me...

God had made you just like me

(DA. the night I saw myself in him)

I pray that in future, he'll grow into a much stronger person

breaking the silence of the night

never knew those shy eyes had such temper
I never knew so thin was his patience
crying's your speech, no words can you utter
but it's no ticket to any bad experience
...............................................................................
(DA. the night he cried)

It was the first time I heard, though it wasn't the first time, I heard.

i'm no exception

"never intended", "i never meant to"
similar words i once said to you
gave me a chance, you never chose to
but i've never held it against you
cos everyone has but different perceptions
it's only human and i'm no exception

the difference between proclaiming and practising

those words which you thought were harmless
served to confuse 'outsiders' who heard
as they taint the belief of the religious
the faith wrongfully dismissed as absurd

(after an interview with a 'modern' follower)

Whoever came up with the logic that proclaiming a religion and not practising it would define one as a modern follower?
The term 'modern' is totally unnecessary - an awkward, ignorant escape from the uneasy curiosity of others. It only serves to undermine the faith, dismissing its practices as traditional and irrelevant to today's time.

Something everyone should know - there is a difference between proclaiming and understanding & practising a faith.

It's sad how these 'modern' followers flood the city and continue to disseminate the wrong message.
