*Y... Three Hundred*
We all
were born with
three hundred talents
three hundred gifts
three hundred strengths
but only
ninety nine weaknesses

*Y... Ugly?*
Back in 1998, a Pakistani man came to my place.
Large white spots all over his pigmented face,
Scarce hairs on his cheeks; so ugly, did he appear
I let him in but not without some fear
He sat down, i gave him a drink and he talked to me
About good deeds and what they were meant to be
About the peace of mind that a good act brings
about this immediate reward for all kind things
He talked about the people returning many times a favour
for many of our well meant and kind hearted endeavours
and then also about that peace and beauty
that for all of us may well last into eternity
Mesmerised by the great wisdom he had come to share
I sipped my coffee and became suddenly aware
that this wise Pakistani man in the end
was not ugly but the most beautiful friend
I had come to realise that true beauty does reside
not in the looks we have, but somewhere deep inside
-
This really has happened
a perfect stranger dropping by
with a great message
*Aufie Zophy*

*Y... Words*
Words of truth
Let them fly and soar
Like a grand eagle in the winds
Gliding with wide open wings
For anyone to adore
Words of goodness
I hope, dream and desire
that they fly and penetrate
in our souls and minds infiltrate
and never tire to inspire
Words of beauty
Let them fly and resonate
With or without the rhyme,
delightful every place and time
From and for the soul they emanate
Words of truth, goodness and beauty
Let them forever fly through the skies
Let them be a pleasure for ears and eyes
for those who want to hear and see
Words of truth, goodness and beauty

*Y.... Differences*
So many differences between one another
I love my Muslim brother
I love my Christian brother
I love my Hindu brother
I love my Bhuddist brother
I love my Jewish brother
I love all my sisters too
Somewhere deep inside
I believe that God loves all of us too
Let us celebrate our differences
Let us learn all from one another
Let us celebrate our similarities still more
I love my black brother
I love my white brother
I love my yellow brother
I love my red brother
I love my brown brother
I love all my sisters too
Somewhere deep inside
I strongly believe
That God loves all of us too
Let us celebrate our differences
Let us all learn from one another
Let us celebrate our similarities still more
I love my liberal brother
I love my socialist brother
I love my central democratic brother
I love my right winged brother
I love my left winged brother
I love my communist brother
I love all my sisters too
Somewhere deep inside
I strongly believe
that God loves all of us too
Let us celebrate our differences
Let us all learn from one another
Let us celebrate more still our similarities
I love my rich brother
I love my poor brother
I love my obese brother
I love my hungry brother
I love my middle class brother
I love all my sisters too
Somewhere deep inside
I strongly believe
God loves all of us too
Let us celebrate our differences
Let us learn all from one another
Let us celebrate still more our similarities
Can you imagine a world
Where all of us would be the same?
We need the differences
The key is humility, humbleness
Let us celebrate our differences
Let us learn all form one another
Let us celebrate still more our similarities

*Y.... Hard Is The Fall*
Wise persons tend to be really humble ones
No matter how wise or what they have done
They tend to realize their limitations
But oh, how difficult it can be
To maintain our humility
Challenges are often so plenty
Any achievement, be it professional
Material or educational
Religious or recreational
All are pushing us into a feeling of superiority
Yes here we are, here are we, look at me
Look at me, I am better than you, really!
We stand tall on this high and narrow pedestal
We feel superior, better than all
But invariably, hard is the fall.
Humility
Poise, humility
Modesty, humbleness, humility…

*Y.... Have you seen love*
Have you ever seen love
Have your ever heard love
Have you ever felt love
Have you ever seen God
Have your ever heard God
Have you ever felt God
Some people
have never felt true love
Some people
have never felt the presence of God
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... Hope*
There is hope
That one time
We'll all have enough
Enough food
Not too much
Just enough
No more hunger
No more obesity
Let‘s start to work for this today…
There is hope
That one time
We'll all have enough
Enough clean water
To drink
Or orange juice
No more thirst
No more drunkenness
Let‘s start to work for this today…
There is hope
That one day
We'll all have enough
Enough love
Not the ego love
Enough soul love
No more heart aches
No more needless hurts
Let's start to work for it today…
There is hope
That one time
We'll all have enough
Enough wisdom
Enough for a healthy laugh
Wisdom for a sincere tear
No more arrogance
No more money blindness
Let's start to work for it today…
Let us start today
A kindness revolution
The biggest revolution
Ever
Let's all hope together
And work for it today.

*Y.... Man became men (written together with Unwritten Soul)*
Man became men
Once Man was whole
And then just as
Hand became fingers
Man became men
Man became Farmer
Man became Doctor
Man became Scholar
Man became Ruler
Each became different
But somehow meant to be whole
With heart we may rent
Of life for valuable soul
..................................................
Green the land over the field
Green the heart over the greed
Please farmer, use some of the grains to feed
Those who go hungry, those in biggest need
Harvest your love not just crop, be Man farming
If you are a Man among the men
..............
Lend your love and care dear man
Share your honest care as you can
Please doctor, don't just do quick consultations
Don't just get rich by prescribing medications
Be heart warming to men, be Man healing
For you are a Man to care for the men
..............
Speak dear man among the men
Man for the soul, speaks with mind
Please scholar, become Man thinking
Assimilate ideas, yours and others
True mind, merging two worlds with no bother
True ego, humble as Man among others
..............
Rise a man among the men
After votes crowing to rule a land
Please politician be an honest man with power
Stand for the place you crowned as trusted by others
Be a true leader-Man, a back bone for hoping men
....................................................
Man among the men
Fight to understand
Live love and meaning to be a man
We are the Man and we are the men
Whoever we stand as, we are a man among them
If we really understand
Be a Man not just one of the men

*Y.... No Time*
Some cutters of wood
cannot find the time
to sharpen their axe
to sharpen their saw
Some drivers of cars
cannot find the time
to service their cars
to fill up the fuel
Some human souls
cannot find the time
to read poetry
to pray or do good
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... River meets desert*
A young river,
So strong
Nothing could stop it
Nothing went wrong
Big rocks in its way
No problem at all
It went over them
Around them if tall
But then it met the desert
Water sank deep into sand
Huge problem for the river
It looked like its life was to end
Desperately
It turned to our God
'Please, God help me
To get away from or over this spot'
A voice from above said
'Look at the wind in the sky
It crosses the desert so easily
So just stop to cry! '
'But I am not wind, I am water
How can I cross
Please help me
I am at a loss'
'Did you forget dear river, '
Said the voice from above
'Long time before you were a river
The wind carried you with love'
The river let its water evaporate
Allowed the wind to carry it once more
In its loving arms,
wind held the river as before
Across the desert they went
A lot of water in a big large cloud
And at the other side
The wind let it rain out
There the river again became strong
Even better and stronger than before
With much vigor it ran
For everyone to adore
Dear young men and women alike
If you meet with the desert or anything wrong
Remember who carried you
Before you became a river so strong

*Y.... Simple reflection*
I passed by a group of three girls
While I was walking all alone
The most beautiful one had curls
And was busy talking on the phone
As I passed them, I could hear
The girl on the phone say, I hate it
She said it really loud and clear
I heard it even though I was not concentrated
As I went and continued my walking
I still reflected and I thought
About what the girl was talking
And what my ears had caught
Oh, Handsome men and beautiful girls,
Or anyone else living in this amazing world,
Do not let your mind be contaminated
By words and thoughts of hatred.
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... Spirit?*
White matter
Small lesions
Watson's spiral
Small mutations
Proteomics
Small variations
On top of that
Methylations
And then
Glycosylations
What is the effect of temperature?
And that of magnetism?
And all these quarks
Waves and particles…
How about thoughts and health?
Power of thinking?
Mind and body!
Soul and heart!
Spiritual being?
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... Strength*
The strong politician presents his own ideas with confidence
The weak one tries to find fault with his opponents
The strong business man presents what he wants to sell
The weak one breaks down the competition, you can tell
The strong scholar presents the ideology he believes in well
The weak one wishes other-thinking people to hell
The strong politician knows that races do not matter
The weak one tries to get votes by condemning others
The strong business man knows his prices are fair
The weak one feels the need to compare
The strong scholar gains popularity preaching all-encompassing love
The weak one tries to look strong preaching hatred and being tough
Anyone who is strong, will focus on love and togetherness
They try to learn more still, respecting differences
The weak ones will try to elevate the image of their own
by focusing on division and hatred and putting others down
*Aufie Zophy*

*Y.... The Power of Now*
Three seconds ago
Many things have happened
But do what you want
You cannot change anything
that happened 3 seconds ago
Three seconds from now
Anything could happen
Think what you want
You will never know
what will happen 3 seconds from now
Tomorrow nobody may think
anything big about these 2 moments
just 6 seconds apart
But now they are different
as day and night
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... The Source*
You are the flower
I am the leaf
We drink the same juices
We ‘re nourished by the same source
We have the same roots
Is not that source feeding our roots,
The Soul of our souls?
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... The sun never sleeps*
When the dark of the night
Seems to win its fight with the light
We are merely in the shadow of the globe
When emotional pain
Seems to obtain its gain
We are merely in the shadow of our hearts
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... The Worst Thing (Haiku)*
The worst thing on earth:
so few people take the time
to think and reflect
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... This Morning, ...*
I prayed for myself
For a perfect health
For a heart filled with love
For a mind filled with brilliant ideas
For a connected soul
I prayed for my wife and 2 sons
For a perfect health
For a heart filled with love
For a mind filled with brilliant ideas
For a connected soul
I prayed for my extended family
I prayed for my village
I prayed for the whole world
I prayed for world peace
I managed to believe that one day
world peace will become reality
because that is the will
of our majestic Creator
Let us all pray for world peace
Let us all pray that more people
manage to focus on similarities
and less on differences
Let us all pray together
Each in our own unique ways.
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... Wave of Peace*
Peace
I dream
of a wave of peace
A giant wave
Reaching beyond the fences
Moving deep inside
A wonderful wave
Drenching all the minds
Pentrating deep in hearts
Changing souls forever
A tsunami
Devastating all walls of greed
Destructive to violent thoughts
Ripping apart perversion
Erasing arrogance
A wave of peace, streaming
envelopping the world
Softening hearts
Wisening leaders
Just peace
Dare to dream with me
Let us all pray together
Let's dream and believe
In a wave of peace
An awesome wave of peace
*Aufie Zophy*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Y.... Who?*
Who is guaranteeing salvation for some
And wilfully misleading others
Is it our most gracious and most forgiving Creator
Or the ego of our preachers?
Who is promising heaven for followers of the same
And guaranteeing hell for others
Is it our most gracious and most forgiving Creator
Or is it the ego of our preachers?
Who is labelling cultural differences and rituals
As the law of the Creator
Is it our most gracious and most forgiving Creator
Or the ego of our preachers?
Who is it?
*Aufie Zophy*
