the world is so messed up

the world is thus changing

for the worst

I have a theory..

for everything that we gain

there's got to be something that was sacrificed

it's like we're paying for the changes that's happening around the world

nobody wants to take the blame

i mean...who does?

everyday, people is living in constant fear

fear of the world they're living in

they fear insecurity

they fear humiliation

they fear trust...

the world is building bigger houses to compare,

higher walls for security...

someone once told me...

people are imprisoned inside their own homes, the walls are not to keep others out but to keep themselves in from any danger

better cars to intimidate others
they pretend to have the modern lifestyles so many sought after

eventhough deep in their heart they dont really want it

nobody dares to answer this question..

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

they follow what they thought was best for them

they follow what others follow

they live how others live

this is how stereotyping begins

the next thing we know

everyone's wearing the same thing

everyone wants to eat the same food

everyone is the same

they're not unique

and that's a shame...

people live their life only to fulfill their physical desires

what they can see on the outside

BMW's, mini coopers, Mercedes

I've seen enough of them to last me a lifetime

I am so grateful the house I grew up in is in this really unpopular place

to hear the questions inquiring the location of such a place

are so common..

I'd rather have neighbours that I actually knew and occasionally talked to

than living in a place that names itself after some sort of fancy tree

or some other sort of famous place

just so the people there can feel good about themselves

I'd rather live in a place where I can be disturbed by the joyous sound of merrymaking during a wedding or festival or a simple family dinner

than a place where the people in it actualy threatens to sue their neighbours for making noise just so they can get their beauty sleep at half-past ten

I'd rather live in a place where the houses are shabby-looking

without the expensive twin gates

and the fancy light from the porch ceiling

because Ive seen them work hard at keeping their houses clean

and they dont need luxurious appliances to be happy

I enjoy watching school kids riding their bikes in the evenings laughing and eating ice-cream, still in their uniforms

than those poor souls that has piano lessons, language lessons, dance lessons, tennis practice, because their parents wants them to as they can afford it

I cannot see a sincere smile in BU anymore

the kind of smile that makes me smile when I see them smile

The contagious one

All I can see is a pre-planned life

where everyone lives everyday until they finally realised it

but it will be too late then...
