I try to remember what I have forgotten. And I try to forget what I should have forgotten.

As I sit here besides the great ocean, remembering, reminiscing.......

I try to remember what I have forgotten

And I try to forget what I should have forgotten.

We forgot how lovely the sunrise was or still is.

But we have not forgotten to wake up early and race against it.

We forgot how refreshing the cool morning breeze is.

But we haven’t forgotten to switch on the AC before we settle down anywhere.

We forgot how good the breakfast was when our moms use to lay it for us.

But we haven’t forgotten to skip breakfast for a lean figure.

We forgot how we wouldn’t start our class without greeting each and every friend present.

But we haven’t forgotten to ignore the colleague in the next cubicle.

Today, in this fast paced life filled with technology, we still tend to forget

Our loved one's birthdays, anniversaries, groceries, even the simplest of them all reaching home on time to spend time with family.

But we never forget our work, our official work, and never forget to be punctual for appointments and most of all never forget to sacrifice our personal time for a little extra overtime.

We forget to care.

But always remember to flatter our superiors at work.

We forget to help others

But always remember to step on them for our own success.

We forget to love or even express it.

But always remember to demand it or its compensation.

We forget to keep in touch.

But always remember to cherish the memories.

We forget to remain calm n patient.

But always remember to lose our temper.

We forget to respect and nurture.

But always remember to assert our age n experience.

We forget the very reason we started on this journey and the route planned.

But we remember the result and to achieve it no matter what.

Is this the fault of our memory, or as they call it amnesia. Or has our minds reprogrammed our priorities.

We forget to celebrate our near n dear one's success.

But we do not forget to get jealous n curse our luck.

We forget to comfort them in their hard times.

But never to cry out in front of the world when in pain.

We forget people’s names.

But do not forget the business opportunity they are for our success.

We forget to encourage.

But never to discourage.

We forget to praise.

But never to criticize.

We forget to be generous.

But never to be stingy.

We forget to have fun.

But never to be serious.

We forget to express gratitude.

But never to demand more.

We forget to accept responsibility.

But never to blame others.

For sure most of us have forgotten compassion.

But never to be more practical.

As I sit here beside the great ocean, I see, I think, and I reflect.

I try to remember what I have forgotten.

And I try to forget what I should have forgotten.

I forgot to carry a pen n paper to write these thoughts down.

But haven’t forgotten to carry a Smartphone where I can type it all.

Hypocrisy - The act of pretending to be better than one is

Pretending to be busy when your not busy

Pretending to be happy when your not happy


Pretending to look sorted when inside its total complex

Pretending to be at peace when its nothing but chaotic


Pretending to having the time of the life when its sucks big time

Pretending to be good when you don’t want to every time


Pretending to be cool when your mind is blowing off with rage

Pretending to be free when it feels like your stuck in some cage


Pretending to pray when deep down you feel an atheist

Pretending to abide when inside you feel the urge to deny


Pretending to help others when you are the one who needs help

Pretending to be all fixed up when you are totally broken inside


Pretending to have loved when it was nothing more than a crush

Pretending to love them all when at times you just feel shooting em’ all


Pretending to be all grown up and mature when you in fact are just a spoilt brat

Pretending to listen all the time when what you really do most of the time is ignore


Pretending to have forgiven even though you curse them with every breath

Pretending to have forgotten even though each wound still aches


Pretending to solve others mess when you yourself are in deep shit

Pretending to be genuine when in fact you are the real hypocrite
