Spare Time

Humanity has always chased time. As students, we are often consumed with the task of earning an education and of improving ourselves in that direction. Time is spent in school, on tuition and on projects assigned. So, where is the spare time that we need so much to lead more fulfilling lives as human beings? Sould we all care about our personal spare time, like so much? A wise individual will make time. He or she plans their hours wisely so that some spare time is created. And that is what I do for I realize that it is very important for us to have the time we can call our own to do what we like best, what we enjoy doing.

Notwithstanding the fact that some spare time is difficult to get, I still use what time I have to spare in a way which would give the most satisfaction. Anyway, the idea of having spare time is for me to feel spiritually happy, free and improved while doing a certain activity that I enjoy.

Circle Street

Hey folks

To start a blog, what I usually do is to share poems.
Sounds interesting right?
Now, here we go!


Circle Street

The cars, they run the circle streets,
little dots in harmonious replay,
round and repeat with no hope of destination;
like hamsters hard at their wheels.
Never ending, never knowing.

We run our own circle streets,
round and repeat till we die;
either of exhaustion or despair,
it matters not which.
And so ending, we are mocked

by the other hamsters,
hard at their own wheels.
Who in turn laugh their own who fall,
and they, those before;
and so, round and repeat, with no sight of a beginning.
And as before, no end.

We, hamsters hard at our beloved wheels,
round and repeat,
round and repeat.
Never knowing, never ending.
