Repercussions of War

Deep reflections now assess
Blunders from those world decisions
Of costly wars and human losses,
'Regime change' through devastation.

Who answers now for those lives shattered?
Who weeps with children parentless?
Disabled soldiers, do they really matter?
Can multipled Pain ever be addressed?

Repercussions still go on, vibrate
For War has ways of tattooing the mark
On human souls and families, in fate
Question those who leave them in the dark.

Was it really for defense of country?
Of honor, patriotism and of courage?
Or some vague erroneous foreign policy
A truth so hidden in sad history's pages.

The War of Error

Shove Democracy down their throats
Annihilate the race that disagrees
In Saudi brotherhood, make dollar float
What foreign policies are these?

Modern ethnic cleansing in disguise
Power holds the upper hand and aces
Who cares how many more millions die?
Who marks the devastation in their faces?

Controlled charade and Protectionism
Ignore the nations, what 'autonomy'?
You are the movers of expansionism
Through greed, you kill them with sheer Poverty.

What a sham and hollow masquerade!
The war games that you play reveal.
Ooops! What a big mistake you made -
The War of Error was all a pathetic deal.

Words Reflect the Parent

Words reflect the parent that raised you up
What they have taught you all those years

Words can say more than just enough
And show the person with his hidden fears.

Words tell more than what eyes can see
They uncover the heart of the man really

For they come from within the core of the man
The heart source of anger, rejection, and want.

A person who speaks with words so obscene
Tell the whole world of the roots where he had been.

His words portray parents who may have failed him
And with curses he lived at every beck and whim.

When Eagles Fall

They will fall and not know why
Disaster ruled their beloved land

When Truth and Faith allowed to die
God released them from His Hand.

So They will crawl and eventually die
Their cries and pleas will be in vain

This nation lost, their God deny
Had pledged a partnership with Pain.

Their profane words that degenerate
Their cursive writing that sealed their fate

Like soaring eagles shot with arrows
Swift is their fall and much is their sorrow.

Ugliness of Lies

The ugliness of lies
Deception dressed in verse
Vexful to the eyes
When truth is thus reversed.

Wasted talent true
Devoid of substance deep
All these vain lies construe
They are not worth to keep

Nor read for precious Time
But merit human trash
The garbage bin its place sublime
Its cheap purpose - to bash.

Ostrich Men

Ostrich bury their heads on sand
Denying realities adversely at hand.

Ducking down the easy escape from light
Their sand holes cover obstacles from sight.

Some men in leadership may be ostrich men
They parlay the necessity to face truth and then

Mislead their countrymen in fatal delusions
All the while preaching their vague misconceptions.

Though warned and informed, they seem comatose
Unable with logic, to scrutinize, I suppose

The warnings were given but they failed so to act
Now they censure the information and hide all the facts.

What then do we do to these ostrich men?
I suggest cut their heads off, throw them out the pen.

Falling Signs For Nations

Browsing through history
Observations reveal
A nation bound for depravity
Loses its political will

In degeneration of morals
In language erosion
Departing from the spiritual
And absence of direction

Engrossed in much hatred
Breeding violence
Not of peace instead
But discouraged citizens.

Focusing on wars
Investing in costly weapons
Decline is not very far
Power blinds a nation.

History has an ugly way
For itself to be repeating
These visible signs today
Show many countries falling.

'The field of doom bears death as its harvest.'
(Aeschylus)

Between indecision and ambivalence
In passing Time

Words of Grace

Words that uplift another
Are words God blessed with grace

They leave the hearer feeling better
And show respect for the human race.

Words, not curses, bear eternal fruit
And multiply the goodness in life

These words should then be our pursuit
Not cursing words that will cause strife.

Lies Cover Up

Those Immaculate frocks
And starched pristine collars
Draped Sin mocks
In sacramental cover

Fake rituals in presentation
Cloak with some incense
And cathedral deception
A murder of Innocence.

Hidden lies mar Childhood
Shattering its frail Faith
Licensed evil in priesthood
Dip a child in a sad fate.

Cover up in high vatican places
Down to the lowest ranks
Bowed Truth shocks angelic faces
As foul scent to Heaven stank.

Victims cry for elusive Justice
Sprinkled in the water of hypocrisy
What vague commandments these?
Vile is this empty religion we see.

Life's Golden Nuggets

A friendly word that sparks a little hope
A hand to hold when on the downward slope

Care and love expressed in warm embrace
Makes light the obstacles in life one has to face

Someone there to listen and to share
When times are dark and all seems so unfair

To stand together in sun and sometimes rain
A shoulder there to cry on when there is pain

Yes, Life's golden little nuggets do not come
In bars of gold, but in small things their worth become.

Denial

Denial is a sorry state of confusion
Like closing one's eyes in the face of a fire
Like going to sleep in the midst of an earthquake
The weirdest reaction for a state so dire.

Denial is the easy escape for cowards
The open door for those unable to face fact
The ultimate withdrawal of all logic and thinking
The sad resort of those who are last to react.

Denial is fatal for those who run governments
For the nation may be crumbling or it may be attacked
The shoving away of truth is a dangerous treatment
It may cost a lot more than the security it lacked.

Denial is no leadership virtue but a Liability
And those who have practiced it may be judged later
Though the present may save them from all responsibility
The pages of History may not treat them any kinder.

Realize

Realize that Love
Like clouds can leave
Blown away by winds of change

Realize that Chance
Like rainbows...falling stars
Sometimes comes only once.

Realize that Time
Like fleeting mists may fade
Dissolve in memory sublime.

Realize that You
Like temporary dust remain
Tomorrow may not feel Love's pain.

For Curse Speakers/Writers

Your words deflect
Return to you
And shower devastation

You can expect
That these will do
Set forth all pronunciation

It will accomplish
All that grime
All wrong you ever wish

You speak your fate
In verbal slime
And fill your heart with hate.

Your words bear fruit
All that you say
In time they will grow root

You follow suit
With darkened days
And live in cursed loot

You dwell In profanity
And nullify the good

Cancelling prosperity
With evil as your food.

Cheerfulness

Cheerfulness is a virus that contaminates
Surrounding all in wondrous pleasant air
A sweet perfume like roses permeates
A sunny view of life that always brings in flair.

Cheerfulness is life's distinct pizzazz
A dancing mood, a musical joy of feeling
Of all human emotions, it is real jazz!
So fun to feel and so very uplifting.

And the wonderful thing for us to realize
Cheerfulness in one we don't need to spend on
It's always free and comes in many a size
Each day, in as many colors you can try on!

Just When I needed You

Was it the twist of Fate
Or a wink of Destiny
Or the humor of fleeting Chance
That Love brought you to me?

It was a time of sadness
And this heart had so much pain
But you came and filled it with gladness
Yes, to love again was not in vain.

The second Love they say is best
Now I believe that is really true
And all my hurts were put to rest
For you came... just when I needed you!

I love you and thank you!

The Real Children

Mere generalizations
Devoid of human logic,
These bungling conclusions
Are just simply pathetic.

All men are not God's own-
Though they are His creations,
But those who chose to belong
To Him, through Christ's Redemption.

All suffering in this world
These were not all God's undoing
For the present evil does unfold
Results of all men sinning.

Rebellion took the greater part
Denial of God's existence
Had darkened now the human heart
And sin caused its persistence.

That is why there is the Way:
Jesus, the Truth and the Life
His Cross washed our sins away
His Love saves us from strife.

Receiving Him is the opening
Of one's heart and mind to the Spirit
Who guides all Truth in sancifying
And the lamp of the Soul is lit.

Humility is the key to acceptance
The gift of salvation is not earned
To grieve transgression is repentance
Will release the peace of God yearned.

'The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.'

1 Corinthians 2: 14

'Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave them the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent or human decision... but born of God.'

JOHN 1: 12

Blackberry Blue

A distinct color
Is blackberry blue
Its blackness shaded
In silvery shine
Like Bahrain pearls
In deepest hue
Light changes it
Like sweet dark wine.

Communication

Communication is touching
Another with sincerity
Not just with verbal teaching
Conversing absently.
It is the human spirit
That reaches forth with care
Words so laden with it
In love and knowledge share.
Crossing space and distance
Communication frees
It is the golden chance
For friendship and for peace.

Fly Swiftly Away

Fly swiftly away
From Love's tender snare
For the net there will lay
Deep affections and care
Seducing your emotions
Blinding sound Reason
Swaying your Decisions
With enchanting Persuasion.

Fly swiftly away
Spare yourself pain
When the sweetness shall mellow
And Departure comes again
Fickle promises break
As the Love grows out cold
'Goodbyes' you have to take
A sad heart you will hold.

Ink Bottle of Life

The pain and sorrows in life's hurdle
Are all contained in bottled record.
For our Experience is the ink bottle
Where the dipped pen draws many words.

The souce of writers' inspirations
From it the passion ink flows through
To weave the lines and compositions
Of life and loves that we once knew.

'He who pursues righteousness and love, finds life, prosperity, and honor.'

Proverbs 21: 21
