Stubborn Penguin

Though most birds fly, I cannot
And somehow that just seems like a lie

Of clear skies, with frozen feet
I do imagine and I cry

I'd like to soar the heights unknown
And let bygones, go by

I have webbed feet and wings 'no-meat'
It seems like fair aint Thy

If only I could reach that far high,
I would ask Thee why

I seek adventure and I'm ready
To get away from here. And why??

Cause I know what I want and
I aint got not what I need to thrive

So bound and stuck.
The seagulls make me shy

"Dive down below and you will see"
A wise one one day said passing by

Why webs are webs, and flaps are flaps
Adventure is not always far away.

The Devil brought us flowers

The world has so much life to offer
Treasures, jewels and dreams in coffer

The fallen one is the one indulgent
In the fruits of life, so abundant

Godmen preach of 'Holy' restraint
Yet loot and plunder, the blue ones taint.

Commoners fearful of Divine wrath
As God has named the seven shames; Froth!

If that were true, oh wise minister
Did the devil bring us flowers? Is that sinister?
