THE GRAND DECEPTION 2

To turn about and flee from pain and self-confession,
Man plunges deeper into the quagmire of the great deception.

This nesting deception may take infinity loops,
Further plunging the poor soul into gobbledygooks.

But the grandest truth there is, that human nature is “of God.”
One only hath to decide, to be good and fight the bad.

Trigger your long journey back to rectitude and right.
Start with your actions. Educate your emotions. And fight!

THE GRAND DECEPTION 3

Engage in a fierce assault, as the final battle is in your thoughts.
Break your devious habit, and help from the Light will be sought.

The many years you have grown towards acting for gainful motives.
Takes its toll in your effort to refrain from pesky objectives.

But many a help will come, even you knowing it not.
A host of light warriors, in time commits to win your lot.

To you on the ground, it seems, a formidable battle to stride.
The help is there assigned, just waiting for you to decide.

THE GRAND DECEPTION 4

The little voice that many times you kept away from hearing
Is gaining ground and speaks aloud and truly becomes endearing.

The voice that interjects, sometimes fierce, and all time faceless,
Is an angel in disguise reformatting my senselessness.

The headstart is the hardest part: the resistance of one’s fallen nature.
But true wisdom in the path, is resonant to one’s inner nature

Lord, teach me to learn fast to recognize your voice.
That I may learn to turn around from the folly of my choice.

THE GRAND DECEPTION 5

On purpose you trick yourself
that what you’ve done is bright.
Your mind creates confabulations,
that you are damn right.

Wouldn’t you see the trickster
is built within your texture?
Your enemy is lying hidden
in the manifolds of your nature!

The entity we call satan,
is an externalization of a leviathan.
A clever flight from error and guilt,
that is unknown even to satan.

THE GRAND DECEPTION 6

In man’s mortality, he chose immorality.
His grand rendition of global proportion.

But lo, it’s designed as a drill to envisage
The human will against the odds of a thorny passage

This earth is a school, a canvas of the fool.
The world is an illusion, does not merit full occupation.

In one’s return flight, assent of human nature,
Learn to unlearn the vices of a lowly creature.

THE GRAND DECEPTION 7

To act against the current
Of his own fallen nature,
He embarks a steady journey
A resolve to purge his baloney.

Notice that in his maturing Awareness,
Man is making a shift from evil to goodness

Breaking the cycle of endless pretensions
Man enters the cycle of quantum perfection.

THE GRAND DECEPTION 8

Splurging on one's peso doesn't make a man attached to his peso
Worse is someone who has no peso but attached to his centavo

Someone who has wealth and spends it is not as guilty of vanity
As he who is attached to every peso he spends is guilty of vanity

Better is the man who has wealth and uses it for a stranger
Than someone who is poor but is attached to his every morsel.

Wealthier is the man who has nothing, but shares what he has
That's abundance

Wealthier is the man who has plenty, and shares it without hesitation
That is a good heart

Real virtue is not what you show
But the unseen motive behind the show

THE GRAND DECEPTION 9

Amidst complexities of growing,
molding a consciousness that is fledgling,

The motives of the bad,
In the guise of the good,
Spins an interlocking web,
With acts that appear good.

Will man choose podvig,
and sacrifice his ego.
Or succumb to the temptress,
A dead drop into self deceit.

Will you end up sly?
Or will you wind up smart?

THE GRAND DECEPTION 10

Oh man, when will you accept
That nothing happens to you without your consent.

Remove your deception that you are the victim.
Because you are always the trickster in the making.

This is the grand deception:
The deceiver and the deceived
lies one and the same
beneath the same sheath and name.

HUMAN NATURE 1

Mula sa pagkabata
Di maitatanggi
Meron tayong pang-unawa
Sa tama at mali

Kaya naman alam natin
Bata'y di nagsisinungaling
Di magtatago tunay na motibo
Ang salita'y nagmumula sa puso

Walang bakas ng pagkukunwari
Walang kamaliang itinatanggi
Walang malisyang madarama
Payak sa tamang pang-unawa

HUMAN NATURE 2

Naging kumplikado lamang tao
Nang sya'y lumaki na ng todo
Payak na pagiisip nahaluan ng luho
Nagising ang gulang sa kanyang pagkatao

Nakapanlulumo kanyang ugali
Nagbago sa kanyang paglaki
Magandang asal nya dati
Napalitan ng pagkukunwari

Malaking impluwensya
Pinasa ng barkada
Isinalin sa masa
Dumaan sa mass media

HUMAN NATURE 3

Sa maraming pagkabigo
Naranasan ng tao
Sa mga paglibak
Tayo'y napapaiyak

Upang maiwasan
Sakit na ramdam
Sa pagkukunwari
Natin winawaksi

Naging sandigan
Mga Kabulaanan
Hanggang nakasanayan
Abang kasinungalingan

HUMAN NATURE 4

Sa isip ng tao
Mayroong pagtatalo
Sa bawat galaw nya
Naglalaban ang diwa

Piliin dapat ang tama
Pansarili naman nauuna
Di nya sinta
Kagalingan ng iba

Lalo syang lugmok
Sa karma ng lungkot
Di nya batid
Kamalian nitong hatid

HUMAN NATURE 5

Pansin mo ba kaka
Tambad dalawang mukha
Ng mali at tama
Sa pinipiling gawa

Tila baga dalawa
Bumubulong sa kanya
Magkasalungat na panganyaya
Kanyang pinipinta

Landas na mananalo
Hinaing ng nasa puso
Kung tama at pagbibigay
Landas tungong tagumpay

HUMAN NATURE 6

Matyagan sariling diwa
Nakatabing sa madla
Iyong arukin
Kahinaan kilalanin

Sa laro ng isip
Sa kamalian pagtatakip
Mapanlansi na sa sarili
Mapagkunwari pa sa marami

Ano ang kahihinatnan
Ng ganitong nakagawian
Pagka lugmok sa paglibak
Mas malalim ang bagsak

HUMAN NATURE 7

Dalawa ang mukha ni Bathala
Nagbibigay aral ng kusa
Pag moral ang ginawa
Tamo ang ginhawa

Kapag pansarili ang pinili
Kasiraan sa sarili
Bulong ng makasarili
Udyok ng maling gawi

Binibigyan ng dahilan
Bawat galaw na pabalang
Ang simpleng katinuan
Naging komplikadong kabulaanan

HUMAN NATURE 8

Paano kalabanin
Kahinaang sadyang akin
Hindi sya iba sakin
Kahinaa'y ako't ako rin

Sino tutulong sa laban
Walang saklolong nakaabang
Mga alagad ng kabutihan
Nanonood sa kahihinatnan

Hwag maghanap ng tulong
Gisingin tulog na dragon
Sya ang tanging gagapi
Sa naka abang na katunggali

HUMAN NATURE 9

Dalawa na ang mukha ni kaka
Dalawa rin mukha ni Bathala
Parehong rumarampa
Sa balintataw ni Jiva

Sino ang mananalo
Sa labang inaalintana
Ang bathala ng kalbaryo
O bathala ng grasya

Sinong mananaig
Sa talampas ng laman
Si kakang mapaglinlang
o tahasang kasamaan

HUMAN NATURE 10

Ikaw ba'y malaya
O alipin ng pagpaparaya
Ikaw ba'y malakas
O talo ng katawang nagpupumiglas

Ikaw ba ang nagtataguyod?
O Kahinaan ba ang nasusunod?
May pagpahalaga ka bang tanggapin
Kung kailan tama o mali ang gawain?

Malaya ka na, di maitatanggi
Pag maingat ka na sa pagtatangi-tangi
Alipin ka pa rin
Pag malupit pa rin sa sarili

HUMAN NATURE 11

Meron tayong masasaklap na karanasan
Na sa sipat ng alaala tinatabunan
Maaaring makalimutan lubos ang karanasan
Subalit taglay ang reaksyon sa gayong sitwasyon

Ang sugat na tinamo
Bagamat ito'y naghilum
Mananatiling multo
Nagtatago sating anino

Bigyang laya ang sarili
Ibalik ang bait sa sarili
Ang tamang pagtanto
Nangungusap sa puso mo
