Silence of the World

When the nations fought,

The world remained silent;

When her children went starving,

The world remained silent;

When the poor were being robbed,

The world remained silent;

When her daughters were being raped,

The world remained silent;

When the green kept deteriorating,

The world remained silent;

When bombings shake the earth,

The world remains silent;

When discrimination is on the rise,

The world remains silent;

Silent! Silent! Silent!

Silent all the time;

Silent! Silent! Silent!

Even when her people whined;

When will the world ever speak,

Against the injustices that are at the peak?

Loneliness

How lonely can this world make me?

How stronger would it push me to be?

How often does it happen to me?

How can anyone give an answer to me?

This world is a greedy place

Where humans think they find solace

But it is just mere space

That disguises itself wit heavenly grace

This world means alot to me

But for it, I am just another flee

Tinier than the tiniest bee

Which isn't worth, a penny

Human beings are wonderful creatures

Who show themselves to b very mature

Inwardly just too immature

Making the self a caricature

A lonely soul would be an alien here

With long faces that gets nastier

Death is easier than such created 'fear'

This fear of being alone always show death so near

Loneliness has struck humanity

Stripping off the masks of disguised sanctity

Showing its inner insanity

Just to pull down the other, to stupidity

There is no end for the worlds cruelty

There is no end to each ones sweet coated mentality

How then can there be, in this world, serenity

When All of humanity strive to kill each other's dignity

Groaning Within

I trusted you so much, more than one could imagine,

I loved you so much, more than one could express,

But you disappointed me, giving me a migraine,

And shattered my hopes and dreams, throwing me into distress;

I thought you loved me the way I am,

I thought we were meant to be together,

I never thought you’d smash me like ham,

And make my heart’s pieces to gather;

I know I am not perfect in any manner,

But the words you have spoken, my heart it did plunder,

Tearing me into bits and pieces,

Making me feel the ugliest of all species;

Your words as I saw it, were so sweet and tender,

But never knew it was against me, my name to slander,

Crazy I am now, as I sit and ponder,

Is this it? In pain I cry, with my thoughts that wander;

I questioned myself,

How is it that I never thought you’d do this?

My heart replied you guys are the blood of my life;

Did you even think that blood was life in itself?

I’m sure not, for you thought I’d never have a ‘self’.

Did God make me this way?

I’m so sure he has his own way,

In making me the way I am, he had in mind what I am,

But in giving me people like you, was it to put me through shame?

I’m so sure, it’s not that way,

I’m so sure he has his own way,

Cos, Great is the One God I believe in,

Awesome he is in guiding me,

Moulding me through thick and thin,

His actions in me I see;

I pledge not to ask you anything about it,

Just seeking God’s help for my life to be lit,

Life is indeed a long journey of learning,

As I continue to yearn to find its meaning;

Let my life go on, as our days go by,

Disturbing you not, as I struggle to make ‘us’, ‘my’,

I will laugh out my cry, won’t let my emotions fly,

Still groaning within, caging my love in a sty;

The Kiss

On the eve of the fatal day,

The act of a loved one made me say,

'Oh father do I have to go through this?,'

I, the one the world would not want to miss;

The friend of mine who was jus too close,

He wandered with me and never cut loose,

We dined together and spread the good news,

But this very act of his did amuse;

Yes, you are right, it is the 'kiss',

The kiss that I could never miss,

I am indeed the one to go through this,

So that the world would live in a peaceful bliss;

I know Judas was meant to do it,

No one anyway can deny it,

Yes I am the one to die,

To deliver the world from it's sinful cry;

This betrayal will shake humanity,

And strip me of my divinity,

But I will endure all cruelty,

To save creation, I will be raised to eternity;

Like Father, Like Son

I grew up in his hand, to walk on the sand, 

To crawl my way back to his loving hand; 

He was a man with a loving heart, 

Who never would, want to see me apart; 

He nurtured me as his own, 

As a child grows, like a seed that is sown; 

I still remember the day, he held my hand to write an A, 

I had no words to say, but to sit and watch him all the way, 

To see my dad mould me like a potter moulds his clay; 

How wonderful it was to sit on the lap of a hero, 

Who would see me transform, from a zero to a hero; 

That hero is my dad, whose desires for me are never sad; 

God has blest me with a wonderful father, 

Whose love for me is greater than any other; 

He gets wild when I fight with my bro, 

In anger he disciplined, in love to grow; 

I did get beaten black and blue, 

That was for a purpose, a purpose to see me through; 

Strict was he and nothing was so cool, 

I neither studied hard, nor made an effort in school; 

An alarmed dad was he, looking for ways to secure me, 

He pushed me hard, but in vain, he never gave up even in pain; 

I scrapped through my school and moved ahead, 

A sigh of relief, that his son had just passed; 

I went on to my college, saw my dad become my friend, 

He poured onto me his love like there was no end; 

I could speak everything to him, even about any girl or boy friend, 

He was never judgmental, but just tried his best to fit into my trend; 

He was a living example of how I should be, 

Still learning more, from a great person like he; 

Today I stand to say, 

I run shorts of words, leaving me in dismay. 

I can’t thank enough for that Trust you had in me, 

To believe in me and to rely on me, 

Encouraging me for doing good, by never stopping but to move on, 

To push me into my passion and always to be a people’s person 

To show me to handle life’s situations and to be patient, 

To fight for the right cause of life by being self-reliant, 

I could never forget your words to let me persuade my dreams, 

Though sometimes it becomes the hardest it seems. 

I still remember people talk about your sacrifice and the labor, 

For the patience in your service and support that you offer, 

They say they will remember you for your inexpressible Love and Care, 

For your unceasing and ever sustaining Prayer, 

My words only cannot express your Worth daddy. 

But I would live your thoughts and sayings by being ever ready 

Today and forever I shall thank God for such a great dad, 

He is just the one, as in your plan u had; 

I want to be like my dad one day, 

So that all who see me would say, 

"He and his dad are one, 

Like father, like son;"
