		<title>The Melody of Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the stillness of silence looks eternal
A melody of truth will come playing in
Amidst the silent cries of your shattered world
There will be a moment that will beam the truth
&#8220;As the fairness of grey reveals the purity of age
The mind need be fresh with the innocence of life&#8221;
The mind; a child to the man who [...]]]></description>

Life is so much prettier
Living it every moment

Nor is it an asset of the lazy anymore
It’s the virtue of one who values their life
Anyone who needs [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Travels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I lost my words in the town
On the street where the poets live
I reached the city of the beautiful dames
With a short sight and no glasses
I got down in the town of thieves
And lost my wallet the very next minute
I walked into a town full of blind
In search of light to read a book
I lived [...]]]></description>
