My Tangy Tales

  Truth Here’s a question for you, What’s the thing that’s hard to gain but easy to lose, For your resolve here’s a clue, Calling it verity is close. Look in a mirror, Is that really you, Has there been an error, Or have you become someone others drew. Are you wearing a mask, Like all the others, Why didn’t you take the risk, That’s the only thing that bothers.

  “True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves and the world around us.” - Socrates I never really understood the meaning of this quote until today when I visited a girl's orphanage. I was given an advantageous life, and I had never realized this until I saw the conditions these girl's lived in, even though they didn’t have everything I do, they were happy.

No one knows, Where we are headed, Or what’s expected, Everyone puts on a show. You start as a pawn, And make your stand, When you are finally the king, and the worlds in your hands, That’s when you notice the approach of dawn.

Are megalodons really extinct? There have been on going debates about the known to be extinct species of shark, megalodon. “is megalodon really extinct or has it been hiding from human eye’s for all these years?” What is megalodon? Megalodon, which means “big tooth” considering the fact that it had teeth almost reaching the height of 7 inches and about 276 teeths in 5 rows. Megalodon was the greatest and largest predator that lived during the early miocene to the end of the pliocene , that’s when it was said to have gone extinct which was almost 3.6 million years ago. Megalodon was formerly classified to the family lamnidae , making it closely related to the great white shark. However, later studies proved that megalodon is not part of the lamnidae family rather part of the otodontidae family, Otodontidae is an extinct family of sharks, belonging to the order Lamniformes . Fossils of this giant predator suggest that it reached the maximum length of 1...

FRIENDS Friends come and go, But true friends are the ones who hold. It was long ago, When everyone's heart was made of gold. Things have changed, So have the people. Time has aged, Nothing is anymore simple. Trust is hard to gain, Value of living is lost.                               All there left is pain, True friends is what they need the most.

Silence The butterflies fluttered of to their merry land The bees buzzed away As he walked across the yellow sand And sat on the boat at the bay In his own world He knew he was right He saw the leaves curled He knew it was in his might Everything was gone He had no purpose anymore At the approach of the dawn He took over the oar
