A Day of Silence

Poem 1 When I get bored inside the classroom, my mind wander to places and times of different setting. Like what others would normally do, I also draw or write whatever is on my mind. But I do as weird as performing simple mathematical equations.

Here is the poem written on a photocopied lecture on Science, Technology and Society.

It’s a day of silence!

And they got the whole world in their hands

Trouble is fuzzy

Happiness is on the clear sky…

And I am below the ground of darkness.

Where’s The Life?

I am starting to feel the coldness of my surroundings. The air-conditioning units have become colder… they could no longer provide the warmth I need. The free drinks have become salty that became impossible to be taken in for a long period of time.

Now I am asking – where is the life? Where is the life I thought I would be acquiring to engulf me. I am bored. I am sad. I am not free. I am imprisoned in the walls made up of the deceitful brilliance of money.

Please, God! Help me bear with it for another five months. Please, help me God.
