Poem : Curiosity Kills

Cherish life cause we blink our eyes and the years have rolled on by 

The sweet laughter , heartwarming smiles , and charisma of our dearest loved ones souls go on to their eternal homes 

In today's time we tend to spend so much time bickering and fighting amongst our people over things that will no longer matter when our loved ones souls are eternally gone

Some spend too much time on their phones , social media , and stressing over what they don't have 

They are constantly missing out on their blessings due to carrying envy in their hearts

They tend to abruptly prey on others' happiness and try to tear their homes apart

They merely drive themselves insane wondering when the struggle to find love and live their lives lavishly will come to an end instead of accepting God's plan 

Our lives have already been mapped out like blueprint since the day we were evicted out of our mothers' wombs into this wicked society 

We are no more or less better than the next

We all breathe the same air , bleed the same , and have to live amongst one another on this planet

Why can't we just get along? 

Why must we fight over temporary things that don't equate to eternal peace and happiness?

... Read moreReading this poem reminded me how easily we get caught up in daily distractions, like social media or personal grievances, and miss the true essence of life. I've experienced moments where focusing too much on what others have or what I lack only brought dissatisfaction and stress. It is only when I began appreciating small joys—like laughter, shared smiles, and peaceful moments with loved ones—that life truly felt rich and meaningful. The poem’s emphasis on how quickly time passes resonates with me. Sometimes, without realizing, we waste precious time fighting or carrying envy, forgetting that those moments are fleeting and will not matter in the long run. Learning to accept life’s blueprint and finding joy in simple blessings has brought me more contentment than chasing lavish lifestyles ever did. Furthermore, the call for unity and peace struck a chord. Despite our differences, recognizing that we all share the same breath and world encourages a mindset of empathy and kindness. Instead of competing over temporary gains, focusing on eternal peace—and building lasting relationships—offers a deeper sense of fulfillment. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the struggles of life, this poem is a gentle reminder to pause, cherish existing bonds, and embrace the unknown with trust rather than fear. Life is too short to live in conflict or envy. Instead, choosing gratitude and harmony can transform how you experience each day.
