Instead of praying "There be peace on earth,"
vow that we be peaceful creatures on earth.
Instead of praying "There be love on earth,"

if there in our souls, love and peace lie dead! ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol, The Pink Poetry

chances are he'll share it with other souls.
Man is not fundamentally selfish;
it is because he's in want that he is.

chances are they'll do same when you're in need.
Man is not fundamentally selfish;
it is because others are that he is. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

A lie is yet a lie, though bought worldwide;
soon it shall fade with coming of new tide.
Truth remains truth, though stepped on like a dime;
soon it shall reign with the passing of time.

A lie lasts as long as there's suppression,
for lies were but of man's fabrication.
Truth lasts as long as there's constellation,
for truths were but of Nature's formation. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

Don't live each day as if it were your last,
for you might break your back and breathe your last.
Rather, live as if a hundred days left;
oh, not so pressured, of tension bereft.

always rushing is not fun, but a joke.
Live each day not so stressed nor so relaxed;
it's in balanced way where joy's at the max. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol, The Pink Poetry

We admire the painting, not the painter.
We judge by the cake's icing, not its bread.
We evaluate the workers, not their head.

We rate highly the cuisine, not the chef.
We point fingers at others, not our self.
We look at peoples' faces, not their hearts.
We always assess the ends, not the starts. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

for its leaders portrayed Jesus as church:

for Jesus came to bring fullness of life.
"Where there's no life, he is there to give life."
"Where there's life, he's there to celebrate life. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

Thinking it'll be tough, one forwent the test;
while other took it but studied hardest.
Thinking it might rain, one canceled his trip;
while other pushed through, with raincoat equipped.

Thoughts of hindrance make you not negative,
it's in the kind of reaction you'll give.
If the negative's way is just to quit,
the positive's style is find ways round it. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

If you're born rich, congrats! If not, take heart!
Options so abounding, the world so vast!
Nowadays there are no more alibis,
why we ought to remain poor all our lives.

We have this dictum where you I will tour:
"It is not your fault that you were born poor,
but it's already your fault, you died poor!"
What a great saying, big truth it conjures! ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

Structurally we should understand that one cannot think that the human brain is different from the brain of the other vertebrates.

"Whoever obeys the Law shall find Life."
God's endless relevance is in the Law -
"From heeding the Law, it's God's Life we draw! ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol

You do not have to be filthy wealthy
in order to be extremely happy.
Neither must you, too, be truly needy
in order to be very unhappy.

same felt by rich losing in casino.
The poor man's joy getting an old mono,
same felt by rich buying a new stereo. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol
