CCXCV ~> Doomsday Misgivings*

(1)
The doom and gloom that threatens every morn
Might prove mere fragments of your reverie
That bloom malignant with defiant scorn
Waxing indignant, taxing memory
Of wasted chances to set your mind free:
When lying forms your mainstay for living,
Denying grooms your doomsday misgiving!
(2)
Wasted chances, too numerous to count,
Should they be counted, dubious to what end.
There are ramparts too daunting to surmount;
Like riddles too muddled to comprehend,
Or broken rules too jaded to amend:
They darkle and sparkle like kerfuffle
That hurtle trouble for the gullible!
(3)
Beneath the veil of never questioned faith
You feel secure the morn comes tomorrow;
The earth’s rotation importunes no wraith,
But with calculations rigor-thorough,
Day follows night in mirth or in sorrow:
Ergo, I part with franchised pleasantry --
With a song in my heart, have a nice day!

Nostalgic Remembrance

Mahidlawong Paghandom* (CXXXV) ~> Nostalgic Remembrance* (Refrain): Di ko hikalimtan, Atong kagahapon Sa paningkamot bug-os nag antos Atong gui-ampingan, Pagandoy’ng matuman Bisan ug damgo lang ang madangtan. Tra la la la la la la, etc. (1) Kahapdus handomon ang kagahapon Ta’ng lundag sa pagandoy’ng nawagtang Tubod sa kalimot ang mga luha Nga naghugas ning kalag kong samaran. [Repeat Refrain]  (2) Sugyot sa kahidlaw nga dalikyaton Kanhing gitagbo-an tang dalan Dili mahimong mausab langkaton Ligdong pasalig tang gi-usikan. [Repeat Refrain] (3) Tugob sa pagla-om king handurawan Nga magdasig sa damgong gui-hidlaw Uhaw sa pag-amuma nga makapukaw Sa mithing banag-banag nga tuman. [Repeat Refrain]  (4) Hilaw ki’ng baraha sa kapalaran Ug walay tupong ang kapintas Walay bili’ng ilang ti-aw-ti-awan Hingpit nga pakig-bisog dili mokupas. [Repeat Refrain] ==|== *I take credit for both title locutions as my original idea for proper Bisaya-English ...

CCXCIV ~> Deceptive Certainties* (1) When people ask, “what can I do for you?” You might ask back, “what is in it for me?” Neither is virtue poignant to pursue Nor non-pursuant destined to be free, Designed from protocols of gallantry: ’Tis futile to keep the moral high ground, Where emulators never near there found! (2) “Charity begins at home,” you are told; Meaning, you practice decency at home; Scheming no handouts for your own household, Thinking of others wherever you roam, Ensure your soul not be consumed by gloom: Most things you gain from trying not to cry Bring much less pain ere all the tears run dry! (3) Each time you stumble, get up with a shrug; Calibrate your bearings, and journey on. Neither dismiss a consolation hug Nor yet obsess with the hidden weapon That might cast you off into oblivion: Deceptive certainties reverberate With innate penchant to eviscerate! ==<>==<|>==<>== *Hook image ( Nymphs...
