Silent Witness

Every event that occurs there’s a witness. Some are able to speak but afraid to speak, others want to speak but cannot speak, and the worst are those that intentionally remain silent.

This thing is the witness that wants to speak but not able to speak. It can’t tell anyone how hard the plight of its owner's life in everyday undertakings. It’s the silent witness how to survive. It feels the sweats and the tears that falls, the silent sobs, the deep inhales and long exhales. It knows the intensity of the kicks weather it’s inspired or tired, badly in need or the tour of duty is just for pleasure. The condition of this thing is a clear predicament how unpleasant the life of whoever owns it.

Congress on Session?

Congress, May 18, 2009

where are the congressmen gone?
their desks full of documents
house bills and resolutions, subject for deliberation
would be republic acts and laws of the land
could not be acted upon because they are gone

shame on them, those useless congressmen
elected by their constituents, performing nothing
serving for themselves, only for personal gain
poor citizen, forsaken and forgotten

this sneaky men and women are not worthy
even to step into that hall of principle and justice
they must be smashed and turn to dust
so their breed be extinct, on earth totally vanished

Do not exceed the threshold

Pushing to threshold ultimately results to undesirable circumstance. Young blood, new driver, new machine, freedom of open road, thrill of speed. Not to mention the incidents caused by fellow motorist and other vehicles, these are the common factor of motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclist particularly the new and young ones, far exceeds the speed limit once they feel the wind blowing their hair. It is a thrilling experience to taste such freedom and ignoring they are just an inch or a seconds towards serious bodily harm and if in misfortune death. The lack of protective barriers between the driver and the road ultimately leaves the rider in very vulnerable position. Of the road mishaps that occurs involving motorcycles, approximately one out of every five is lucky enough to come out the ordeal with minor bumps, bruises, and abrasions.

Definitely, exceeding the legal speed limit is not solely restricted too young and new motorcyclist but also to the older and more experienced drivers. A simple slip of the wheel or an unexpected obstacle enables the driver to stagger. Sometimes a motorcyclist fails to slow down when cornering and holding the break is too late. Accidents came up unexpectedly and mostly it takes place to those who forgot to take necessary driving precautions.

Anything under the sun has a limitation and pushing to its threshold is not advisable.

Wheel

I've been thinking of some possible reason on how this civilization came up to this state of technological dependency? What was the past generations' contribution to this effect? I read books, journals, and many other source of information including the net just to find a simple clue for this. Only one thing I have observed from those records, man never stop in finding solutions how to make life smooth and easy. They invented things, conducted studies and framed theories. And one of their remarkable invention was the wheel.

The wheel is a big help in our lives. Using carts in simple transportation of goods from one place to another, up to the exploration of oceans and galaxies. This equipment was developed and used as component of complicated machines which enables us to work with speed and accuracy. This was also used by great men and women in the history of kingdoms and empires. Wheel was attached to their armaments, catapults, and chariots for their advantage in conquering lands, and protecting territories from invaders. This invention helped in the progress of the world's economy, industry, and technology.

The construction and transportation industry will never move forward without the wheel. The construction of high rise commercial and residential buildings, lengthy expressways, bridges, flyovers, and in the excavation of subways and tunnels, wheel is undeniably present. Through the expertise of the operator, the heavy equipments used in these projects safely moves because of the wheel. In transporting agricultural and industrial products, from the rough carts of cave people up to the automobiles of this modern civilization, wheel is always a component. Some are simple in design others are artistically manufactured to enhance beauty and elegance. Scientists, researchers, and inventors don't stop in developing this thing in order to utilize its full function with convenience and efficacy.

Wheel is also useful for kids in parks and playgrounds. It enables children to interact each other that they could develop good physical built and a wholesome character. it delivers laughter in amusement centers and casinos, sports enthusiasts gain fame and wealth, hobbyists such as a potter finds satisfaction and relief, and house chores over and done with comfort. Our disabled fellowmen who could not walk now can see the beauty of the surroundings.

All that I wrote above are the benefits accounted for the invention of wheel. Not to mention its worse effect when handled with negligence. But, as long as man seek out for easy way of life and search for industrial and technological advancement, wheel will always share a role in our existence.
