God, Come to my Aid!

I am tired;
I am weak;
Fighting devils
Throughout lifetime.

I’m confused;
I’m depressed;
Fighting world
Afilled with vice!

How longer, God
Can I patient be?
I feel all lost
In my misery.

This world is too much
For my tender heart;
Man is more beastly
Than I ever, thought.

When will things improve,
O God, I always ask?
Is life worth living,
And complete my given task?

God, come to my aid;
Rejuvenate me, Lord;
I feel akin a wounded bird,
Many times, shot!

Sonnet: Don’t You Worry

Some things may happen unexpectedly;
No need to fret or fume or feel depressed;
All things do happen for our good only;
Let’s hope that life makes feel less repressed.

We should not change in ways the world expects;
We must not change if principles are lost;
We can adjust to things if world respects;
For everything, there is a risk and cost!

Don’t you worry as God decides all things;
Just take the things as they come up to you;
None can predict the time and things, life brings;
Life brings problems and apt solutions too.

All things in life are transient, ev’n if long;
We have to do things right and not the wrong!

All Things Are Simply Possible, Just By God's Saving Grace!

I aimed to accomplish one thing,
But turned to be yet another;
I thought I was unfit in life,
But God brought me out of all strife.
All things are simply possible,
Just by God's saving grace!

I travelled by a road I chose;
It led me to an alien place;
I thought I had a blunder done;
God gave me timely rain and sun!
All things are simply possible,
Just by God's saving grace!

I felt awful and depressed oft,
And life had turned quite meaningless;
To God, I cried in despair, ‘Lord! '
My strength returned reading His Word!
All things are simply possible,
Just by God's saving grace!

I saw the modern world of man,
Afilled by sin and wickedness;
I felt like asking God, ‘But why? '
Hope filled my heart anew from sky!
All things are simply possible,
Just by God's saving grace!

I found all earthly life futile,
And wished from heart to earlier die!
But God renewed my spirits high,
And made my earthly stay worthwhile!
All things are simply possible,
But by God's saving grace!

100 days as Medical College Dean (C)

They call me as ‘Chief-guest’.
I’ve little time to rest;
I try to do my best;
I try to be well-dressed.

I feel no more suppressed;
I feel no more oppressed;
I feel no more depressed;
But I’m a bit more stressed!

I know I am quite fit;
I improve bit by bit;
My life looks all alit;
I’m wary of the ‘Pit’!

I know the good from bad;
I know life is quite sad;
I know this world’s mad;
God gave me fine a dad!

Worry can spoil the show;
God helps perform somehow;
I dislike having to toe
The line of others’, Oh!

But I’m on my own;
This is a ‘village- town’;
I am not a clown;
God will not me disown!

I have new ideas
Which look like the Himalayas;
Things move slowly, Alas!
But time will surely pass.

My days of glory are near;
I have no favor or fear;
To me, all souls are dear;
But no one must ever tear.

To all, I have an ear;
I must listen and hear
To friend, foe and peer;
And thus must I well steer!

I know that God loves me
Specially, uniquely;
I thank Him so freely;
This world is quite wily!

People Nowadays

At times, I feel the world of people all
Around me, who were quite dependable,
Behave almost like enemies of mine,
And I do not know what to do sometimes!

When people close to you and trustworthy,
Appear to do the things that hurt your heart,
The pain and anguish seems too much to bear,
And the experience is too frustrating!

Then, the rosy world thus far turns gloomy,
And living life seems not worthwhile at all;
I have to just put up with how things are,
As people change unpredictably fast!

Yet, they are not my foes but my dear friends,
Who helped me climb life’s ladder with much ease;
I cannot blame them for how they are now;
I can just pray to God to heal their hearts!

In My Hands

I don’t feel pain
I want to feel pain
But I feel the pain
Of the world
Each cry of help
I hear
Every hit
I feel
Every dream crushed
Crushes me
Every death
Takes away my soul
The world is on my shoulders
I have lost my feelings
Love
Laughter
Compassion
Car ing
Understanding
I have no hate
I feel
Sad for the sad
Depressed for the depressed
Bored of tired
When the worlds on your shoulders you feel nothing
You are a empty shell
Wanting
And not wanting
To be picked up
I am that shell
I care for others and not myself
I swore I’d die fighting for what I believe in
And that is
The happiness of others
And their safety
I want nothing more
And nothing less of that dream
Dream that most think crazy
But in the end I am a little crazy

Sonnet: Spare Us Sinners, God…

Whatever sins, our ancestors had done,
God, spare our future generations, please:
From strife and death by famine, wars and sun;
Open your heart of kindness and give peace.

Whatever sins, our children try to do,
Despite our warning them not to; O Lord,
Forgive them and withhold your just rod too:
They know not how sins offend you, O God.

O God of mercy and infinite love,
Ignore our trespasses, bestow your grace;
Our sincere repentance, help us to prove;
From devils’ hands, protect the human race!

The world today is full of sin and vice;
Help us to avoid sin and be soul-wise.

Talking to God

O Lord, my God, I am a sinner too!
Many a time, I have sinned against You;
No doubt, You’ve given me a newer role;
The things that happen aren’t in my control.

Weak is my frame and weak as well, my will;
I can’t depend forever on my skill;
Tell me O Lord, when things will quite improve;
I am afraid I could make the wrong move.

Without Your help, I am always a naught;
This life on earth is with much danger fraught;
The way things happen makes me disgusted;
This earthly gold, silver too get rusted!

You are my Master; I’m Your servant, Lord;
To stray away from You, I can’t afford;
You are the light that brightens my life dark;
O let me walk thine way and keep my mark!

Sonnet: God, Seal My Purified Soul!

God take away the urge to sin from me;
My body’s weary from devils’ assaults;
The devils come to tempt me frequently;
My weakened spirit leads me to more faults!

God, tell me how I can be pure of heart?
I succumb to temptations so often;
I fail to learn the devils’ wily part;
Forgive me Lord: May your anger soften!

World’s sinfulness has grown in leaps and bounds;
Just say the word and my soul shall be healed;
Protect us Lord from Satan’s frantic hounds;
Make pure my heart and let entrance be sealed!

The devils roam the world in search of souls;
The Holy Spirit thwarts their evil roles!

Sonnet: In Despair’s Edge

How long, dear God, do I great troubles meet?
My lamentation seems to go a waste;
A thing I do turns Herculean a feat;
As precious time is lost, I am in haste.

Life’s vagaries are too cruel to me;
An easy task looks up-hill climb at times;
Dear God, you must remove my malady;
How long can I further my art in Rhymes?

So, have I reached my tolerance’s peak?
I feel my strength and will are failing too;
My heart and mind appear now rather weak;
‘Oh, come and help me win the war, ’ please do.

Will spring not come to ease Life’s winter long?
Won’t my refrain become a happy song?

Sonnet: Jesus is The Answer to All Strife!

Why break your head o’er problems you can’t solve?
Why feel depressed and sad when woes long-last?
There’s nothing that our Lord cannot resolve;
Just do your duty well and forget past!

Our earthly life is imperfect, unfair;
The horoscope misleads God believers;
Our sufferings are something we must bear;
Devils are liars and big deceivers!

No one can tell the future just like that;
Prophets and soothsayers are seldom found;
The ones some say are feelings of the gut!
The Universe is always Maker-bound!

Christ Jesus is the answer to all strife:
Redeemer, Giver of Eternal Life!

Sonnet: Have Mercy Lord, O God!

Have mercy on our children, Lord, O God;
They live in modern times, afilled with sin;
The fruits of Science have blunted conscience, Lord;
They falsely think, by labor, they can win.

Have mercy on our neighbors, Lord, O God;
The need for wealth has driven them crazy;
They tend to forget Thee and behave odd;
Ignore their faults and rain on them, mercy.

Have mercy on our friends and foes, O God;
Remember their good deeds and not their faults;
Bless them for every uttered holy word,
And break their journey onto hellish vaults!

Have mercy on all mankind, Lord, O God;
And spare most souls from thy divine just rod!

Sonnet: What Can’t I Sacrifice To Reach Heaven?

In life, I compromise so many things;
I cannot fight forever in this world;
At times, I take whatever Life just brings;
My sufferings remain in heart untold!

But sin is one thing which I must avoid;
The soul is meant to reach God’s own Abode;
A sinful man can’t satisfy the Lord;
We must therefore live by His every code.

The God of purity is truth and light;
He abhors sins and abysmal darkness;
A thousand suns can’t match His face so bright!
He wants all men freed from devils’ harness.

The grace of God is robe and soul’s haven;
What can’t I sacrifice to reach Heaven?

Just Too Tired To Fight It

Here comes that same old memory
Like a movie in my mind
You told me you loved another
Then you drove off through the pines
And I swear it feels like yesterday
Though it's been a long, long time
I can still feel those cold chills
Runnin up and down my spine
Chorus:
And I've been fighting back the memories
I've been fightin back the tears
And I'm fightin back the hurt I still feel
After all these years
If I had the strength I'd fight
To make things like they were before
But I'm just too tired
To fight it anymore
Everyday my heart reminds me
How I boldly spoke those lines
I can get along without you
And I'm gonna be just fine
But the nights alone grew colder
Than I ever thought they'd be
And I spend every hour searchin
For what you took out of me
Chorus
And I thought time would overcome the torture
But instead I'm getting weaker everyday
Yeah
Whoa...
I've been fighting back the memories
I've been fighting back the tears
And I'm fighting back the hurt I still feel
After all these years
If I had the strength I'd fight
To make things like they were before
But I'm just too tired to fight
There ain't no way to hide it
I'm just too tired to fight it anymore
Yeah, I'm just too tired to fight it anymore

Sonnet: Ash Wednesday Pleas

God, turn the Wheel of Time to usher in
An era of new hope and joy, mind’s peace;
My heart afilled by sorrow, mortal sin
Is weary of its wages and disease!

God, bring the season of great happiness;
No longer can I bear my string of woes;
I need your mercy, love and forgiveness;
I hate the ways of men and how life goes.

God, give back my harmony in life;
Restore the contentment I had possessed;
I need your special help in meeting strife;
Oh, make me whole again: keep my soul bless’d!

The devils roam to destroy souls this Lent!
Oh, let me pray fervently and repent!
