Whirlpool

Whirlpool
By Ruhudeen Ali

"Oh wow! they're so cool"
watch them go down like fools
circles and circles amuse
spinning around in this whirlpool

"They've got some nice thoughts"
"and it's nice here on their yacht"
"I wonder what more they've got?"
"To be his? Have I got a shot?"

The girls wonder, as the water level rises
but they're still bedazzled by mens' surprises
peel the masks to see the guises
they're in the ocean of compromises

And the yacht moves along the crashing waves
everybody goes for what they crave
nobody here is brave
they will soon be in their graves

And the vortex finally takes shape
unknown to the party of apes
busy in their fineries and crepes
upon the deck of disgrace 

Now the vessel picks up speed, heading for the center
the girls regret having entered
the men were just pretenders
traps for the opposite gender

But now its too late, the yacht is circling down
everyone aboard is wearing frowns
thinking why did they follow these clowns
it will soon be their time to drown

The ship nears the bottom of the sepulcher
the waves tear apart the yacht, what's left of her
all because they accepted the offer of lucifer
they lost sight and chased after the ephemeral

An allegory to illustrate the power of false charm
without thinking, you can be lead to great harm
be careful who you accept that extends his arm
the prairie is deceptive, be happy in your barn

Oh now they're so cool
watch them go down like fools
circles and circles confuse
sinning around in this whirlpool

Grandia OST - The Edge of the World


Eternal Questions

Eternal Questions
By Ruhudeen Ali
August 21st, 2013


Who am I and why am I here?
What is this anxiety, this unsettling fear?
What is my purpose, why was I born?
Am I special or am I the norm?
What makes me human, what is our role in this world?
And would it matter if I was a girl? 
What is this place, our planet Earth?
And is it true I was made of clay and dirt?
Are we alone or is there life out there somewhere?
Does it even matter, should I even care?
Who is God and why are we told to have faith?
And does He mind that over Him we debate?
What is religion and why do we follow rituals?
And is it ok to just be spiritual?
Why are we judged by which path we choose?
Is it black & white? Win or lose?
Is there a place such as Hell & Heaven?
Will we all be forgiven, believers & heathens?
Is there an afterlife after death?
Or should I make the most of life with whatever's left?
Will we see our loved ones again after they’re gone?
Are fading memories all that’s left to hold on?
Why are there different divisions of people?
Why do we hurt others and treat them as unequals?
What's the deal with status and social classes?
Don't we all eat and wipe our own asses?
Why are the powerful so high & mighty?
Don't they realize that they were once tiny?
Why can't we solve our human problems?
Or is it that some groups benefit by not solving them?
What is love and how do you find it?
And once you find it, how do you keep it?
What is freedom and oppression?
What is happiness and depression?
What is death and what is life?
What is comfort, what is strife?
What is a life of meaning?
What is scheming and dreaming?
What is finitude and infinity?
What is creation, what is divinity?
What is the truth, what is the lie?
What are the answers, we haven't got the time
Will we ever come to know?
Or was it all just a process to help us grow?
Maybe we already have the answers that we need
Maybe all it was, was a tale of a sprouting seed.
