Lifetime of Questions






It takes a long time to become self aware
Just to know where you are in life
To know who you are, 
Where you came from
And where your headed. 

You ask yourself 
Whats my mission, my goal,
Must I have one?
Is it worth to strive for
To spend my lifetime on?

At some point in your journey 
You discover 
There are oceans of knowledge to learn
Will you have time, should you even try?
There is no rational answer.


At first, it seems finding love is a child’s play
Then after countless heartbreaks
You stop looking, hoping
Or you settle.

Then the questions become more urgent,
Whats the most fundamental factor in life?
What values are paramount?
Will I find them?
Do I need them?
If I find my answers?
Will that make me happy?


Am I happy?
Am I fulfilled?
Who said happiness is important?
Can I be happy when millions are miserable?
Why do humans exist?
Is there a divine purpose?
What will our end be?

It takes a life time in human years
To struggle with these questions,
Never finding answers
And in a moment your time’s up

And then 
You die.

My Brother My Love

Leave the tears for last for now all I need is solace or silence No need for profundity You can sit by me  In unity  against this grave peril Wa can pretend  We’re having coffee on my porch  Talking about politics  Or cars Let’s forget for a moment  These are vailed goodbyes  Let’s reminisce  About our childhood  That seems so long ago  It may have been  A myth  Remind me that once  We were young and brave  Care free,  generous Let’s not talk about regrets  There may be too many  Don't make waiting  More unpleasant  By forced cheer  Hold my hand So I can feel your love  For all that matters now  Is love.

Courage

  When you are in the depths of despair, And you think you’ve hit bottom, You just keep on plowing deeper. When you don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, You just keep on walking until you see the shining light. When you think all doors are closed, Even though you knocked on them all Remember, there are doors that will open just for you. When you feel you’re utterly alone, Remember, you’re never alone because God is always with you. Remember you’re a fighter, Remember you’re strong, Remember you’re resilient, Remember you have people to lean on, Remember your faith, Remember, after every storm the sun comes out And we’re blessed with a rainbow.

THERE IS NO GLORY IN MARTYRDOM ANYMORE

Mothers,  don't tell your sons to be soldiers when they grow, Fathers,  don't ask your sons to pick up your gun, To fight your wars, They don't want to inherit your enemies. Stop the cycle End the killing Much blood has been shed by now. Teach your children that we are one Teach them to share this Earth, Be tolerant and compassionate  So they learn to do the same For their fellow human beings, Teach them respect for life. Love them so they can love themselves And others. We don't need more martyrs There is no glory in martyrdom anymore. Armine Amirian Zohrabian March 03, 2013 There is no glory in martyrdom anymore
