IT'S A BATTLE OF HOPE!

Considering the downward slope our society is taking,
The economic recession the world is plagued with,
The ravages of war, and the resulting jeopardy in which international relations have gotten,
And the need for peace and stability,
We can hear the war drums thundering!
It's a call to battle, and we are the soldiers!
In the midst of this catastrophe,
From deep within comes a message of hope,
Heralded by our instincts,
Sounding loud and clear to the outside world,
Announcing; It's a Battle of Hope!


THE BATTLE CONTINUES....

A CRYING MOTHER!

Not for the tragedy of death does she weep,
Not for her poverty or helplessness does she wail,
Neither does her heart bleed for the suffering of the poor,
Nor does her spirit get crushed at the sight of the dead,

But for the moral decadence of her children does she shed tears,
For the promiscuity of her daughters, she does sob,
For the violence and vices of her sons, does tears stream down her cheeks,
For the depravity of this generation she cries out,

For the peril of mother earth does she in poignancy hiss,
For the recession of the economy, does she get depressed,
Against the corruption and the perversion of justice she protests,
Against the inimical freedom offered by the society which breeds immorality, she sorrowfully crusades,
And against the indifference of the rich to the plight of the poor she gets troubled and pitifully discouraged.

A LOST ANGEL II- THE TALE CONTINUES...

Unable to survive the test,
Incapable to control the boat,
Without the experience to weather the storms,
I let go of this angel,
I jettisoned this messenger of love,
And rejected this herald of eternal companionship,

Then suddenly I found myself on the shores of a strange island,
Surrounded by woods of loneliness,
Tossed to and fro by the winds of perpetual betrayal and incessant infidelity;
Trapped in the bondage of a mirage of love,

I remembered I had abandoned in the waters of true love, an angel,
I recalled I had lost in the ocean of true friendship,
An angel of fidelity,
A messenger of trust,
And a herald of affection,

Then took I a deep plunge into the waters,
Into the oceans,
And beneath the seas,
To forage for my lost angel,
To search for my true love,
And into my life once again, receive my lost angel.

WORLDS APART II

Like day and night we were,
Like poverty and wealth we seemed,
Like peace and war we turned;
Two worlds apart we were,
Immiscible, like oil on peaceful waters;
Obviously incompatible,
Like rain clouds on a sunny summer morning;
Clearly contradictory,
Like a pauper on a king's throne;
Two worlds apart,

Worst still, this gorgeous maiden swayed her waist,
Each passing day, as she walked past,
Shattering my heart like a work of pottery;
Breaking it like a piece of glassware,
And hurting my emotions like fire coals on an infant's skin,
As I had to face the reality of our worlds being apart,
Then like a dejected beggar,
Like a conquered emperor,
I walked away in shame and bitterness.

A LOST ANGEL!

Once an angel walked into my life,
With much glow and radiance,
Bearing a message; a message of love,
To be delivered to me, and shared with me,

With the serenity of my world,
And the fragrance of love in the air,
Into my life I took this angel,
Honored and cared for her,
Respected and adored her,

Then we embarked on a journey, to an island called Love
To a city called Togetherness,
On the boat called mutual affection,
And propelled by the force of soulful passion,

In a twinkling of an eye however,
In a manner so abrupt and unexpected,
The waves of misunderstanding roared,
The currents of disagreement swelled,
And the winds of separation threatened...

THE TALE CONTINUES...

WORLDS APART!

Once I met this lovely girl,
Ravishing she was in the igniting rays of sunrise,
Beauty she exuded in the dimming rays of sunset,
Elegant she was in the simplicity of her appearance,

For a moment I thought I had found the wife of my dreams,
Then I took a bold step towards the realization of my desires,
With the gentleness of a gentleman, I walked,
With poetic mastery I spoke,
But her indifference made a fool of me;
I winked at this perfection of creation,
But with her steps speaking gracefulness,
She walked away ignoring my presence,
My heart was crushed against my bones,
It turned out we were two worlds apart!

PSEUDO (FALSE) - LOVE II

You are back pledging true love,
Telling me you were sent me from above,
You say "I love you",
You tell me, "I was made for you",
But how do I know this is true?
Why should I believe you?
Why should I trust you?
And why should I accept you?
You rejected me even before you knew me, from the first instance,
You wouldn't even give me a chance,
Not even the benefit of the doubt,
You left me sad, with a low esteem-bout,
And crushed my feelings without a second thought,
Please get out of my life,
'Cos I can't make you my wife,
For you are nothing but a pseudo-lover,
And your love is nothing but a pseudo-love...

PSEUDO(FALSE) LOVE

I remember when I first saw you,
I loved you before I knew you,
And all I wanted was to be with you,
But you paid me no attention; you ignored me,
You told me we were not meant to be,
You told me I wasn't your type,
And my love-pledge was a mere hype,
So I moved on,
And you moved on,
But now that heaven has smiled on me, with wealth so abundant,
Now that an empire I have built, so important,
Now that I've been blessed with substance, so great,
And now that my presence so large, is always felt,
You are back asking for a second chance,
Telling me you are sorry about the first instance...

THIS SILENCE...II

Each time I set gaze on you, you look ever ravishing, like a constantly renewed beauty,
Each time I behold your figure, you look ever appealing, like a perfected entity,
And each time I stare at your pictures, you look ever dazzling, like a classy personality,
So I desire to come into your world; to be a part of you,
But you have chosen this silence, to put me through,
Yet it's your heart I constantly desire to plunge into,
Honey, I possess within me, a side of love you're yet to see,
And I carry within me, a depth of affection, you're yet to see,
I would like you to be part of me, but for this silence,
Baby, please break this silence, stop this indifference, and make me a part of your existence,

I awake into each day, with thoughts of you in my head,
I fall asleep each night, with images of you alive in my head, upon my bed,
Baby, I think I am obsessed,
I think I am possessed,
With the personality that is you,
And with your beauty that is true,
So please tell me, what is it going to be;
To be or not to be, are we meant to be?
Please tell me, are you the one for me, 'cos I think you are,
And I know together we would shine like a star,
So please break this silence, stop this indifference, and tell me your heart!
