A spirit aloft a rising tide
I surf up the bottomless deep of afflictions
With cries of poetic expressions
I write to keep sanity in times of frustrations
To attest my serenity, I word up my experiences
Cynical to my dramatic encounters
For much has been abused
And decency has broken down
Left with only a thread of morality
I have tried to act against despair
But one too many times
Am left in awe with what the world becomes
And all left, am with my faithful poems
saved reviews of poetic expressions
