Lucid Musings 2.0. By O.b.i

The morning that brings the sunshine always takes away the moon,
but that is no erring, that is not weakness and it is not strength,
that is no loss and its is not a plus. There is no animosity between the darkness that was,
and the light that fills this hollow,
there is no harmony, no sorrow, there are no emotions. Its just the flow.
And When the night comes, the moon will glow here and it will sun somewhere
And in all the highs and lows
All the darkness and the glows
We'll find a cause worthy to keep us through the chaos and the joy
through penury and plenty
Until we finally come to master all of this roller coaster
That is if we ever can...

There Is More To Everyone. By O.b.i


The cab driver has a beautiful daughter, she sits just in front of the balcony with her younger brother waiting for daddy, yes, he is a husband and a loving father, he is a son and also a caring brother. Maybe if you look beyond the dashboard you will see that his life is not just about the clutch, he too, just like you, has a world.
The pump attendant too, she is a student, she is working to save a penny or two. She wants to be independent, she wants to go to school, she also has plans for the weekend when she will put on her sexy and make men drool, some other weekend she is a waitress, and every other day she is a first daughter with two dead parents. She has two younger siblings and she'll give everything to give them a better living. So when you see her by the street corner, doing what she has to do to make the grass greener, just let the urge to judge go, cos she is so many things you will never know.
And that lady with a bright smile, her legs have ran miles and still no medal, she is not just a hawker, she is a single mother. She has hungry bellies to feed, so when the yellow bus comes by she takes the lead. if she happens to be your choice for gala and lacasera, then tonight someone is going to bed with laughter and a full stomach.
