POEMS OF SOUL |
Life Is A Vacation At birth we started a long vacation Some vacation becomes too long Some there duration very brief Whether long or brief we still vacate The schedule starts at infancy Some schedule are tight and others very loose However we accomplish only what's destined On this vacation we climb mountains And make a descent of valleys These are the contours of life For it is filled with ups and downs Life is a serious vacation Where success and failures combines Where some turns out wise And others remain perpetually foolish And another category remains on the fence This the vacation of life. |
Marvel Of Nature I look out of the windows I see the magnificence of God I see the morning light creep over the darkness of night And beautifies the landscape of nature To welcome and herald the sun and moonlight To set another day into motion How lovely it is to a bright and beautiful day How pleasant it is to see the flowers and birds commingle The nature flourish to the elements of life How marvelous it is to see the nature at work Unfolding like petals of flowers To the stipulation of the most high God. |
SALUTE TO AMERICA I salute your strength I salute your courage To face the world And own up in the world To say you are what you are And still remain what you are I greet my compatriots The great people of my time Who make a difference When all hope is lost Who swims the Ocean When others drown I greet my people That kept afloat in life And survived the jumpy hurdle Which constitute the valleys And mountains of life I salute your powers For facing change And call reality to change To your own expectation And to your own conviction I salute every one of you For seeing the past as a starting point And the future as the landing point Only the mighty take great strides Only survivors can make decisive moves |

FRONT PAGE MY FACE IS NOT MY FRONT PAGE MY HEART IS MY EXPOSURE IT TELLS WHO I AM AND ALSO WHAT I AM MY FRONT PAGE IS MY CHARACTER THAT MOLDS MY PERSONALITY AS I MAY BE A DIFFERENT CHARACTER IN A COMPLETE DIFFERENT CONDITIONALITY MY FACE IS NOT MY FRONT PAGE FOR IT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE BUT NOT EXACTLY WHAT IS IN ME FOR MAN LIKES EXCITING FRONT PAGE FRONT PAGE IS THE DECEPTION OF THE WORLD AS SUBSTANCES OF ISSUES DOES NOT SHOW IN THE WORLD BUT BENEATH THE RUMBLES AND SCHEMES OF LIFE THAT KNOWS NO TRUTH AND LOVE. |
WHAT I FOUND I FOUND THINGS IN NOTHING I FOUND NOTHING IN THINGS THAT MAKES ME AN EXCEPTION IN THE MIX OF COMMOTION I FOUND GEMS IN MINUTE THINGS FOR THEY ARE THE SPICE OF LIFE ONLY GIVEN IN THE WISDOM OF LOVE AS I AM BLESSED WITH EVERYTHING I FOUND LOVE IN EVERYTHING BOTH THE GOOD AND BAD FOR EACH IS BLESSED EVEN WHEN WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING I FOUND YOU IN ME FOR IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT YOU ARE BLACK, BLUE OR WHITE FOR THIS IS HOW FREEDOM IS FOUND. |
EXPERIENCE (A Reply To Suicide) MY EXPERINCE IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT IS MEANT FOR ME TO KNOW THAT LIFE IS NOT A LINE BUT A VALLEY OF CONTOURS MY EXPERIENCE IS FULL OF FUN AND OBSTACLES BECAUSE IT POLISHES MY PERSONALITY IN A FOREIGN LAND OF DESTINY WHERE I AM MADE TO CRAWL IN ADULTHOOD ON HILLS MY EXPERIENCE IS FULL OF EXPLOITS WHICH COMES IN LIFE AS I REMAIN ALIVE TO LIVE UP TO OR BELOW MY EXPECTATIONS I SHARE MY EXPERIENCE AS A LESSON TO THOSE WHO KNOW LESS OR MORE FOR WE ARE ALL INVOLVED IN THE RACE OF LIFE WHICH IS THE FOCAL POINT OF WHAT WE ARE.
