A Tribute to the Sick, the Disabled and the Aged.
God's instrument for the atonement of the sins of the world.
Eternal Wisdom
My limbs are now weak and weary
God of wisdom, hear me today
Let the world's leaders know
It's time to bow their heads to you.
Fiery ordeal that life demands
A heavy yoke on ailing ones
On toilers bestow more strength
Hope and warm corners to creep in.
Stiff fingers now painfully wave
Had once before caressed with love
Let music continue to flow
From chords and fervent hearts that glow.
Songs of nature and hymns of praise
Vibrate strange echoes in my ears
Let the faithful hear, may I plead
As angels sing the word of God.
Rainbows, sunsets and stars above
Dimmed bleary eyes strived to perceive
Let the splendour of your creation
Make arduous the hearts of young men.
Parched throat struggles to vocalize
The doom's day all must realize
Help me wail the long lost words
"Embrace, make peace, throw down the swords.
These lips now falter and stammer
Gifts of lives, humbly I implore
You gave and took, let be my mind
So I could pray for all mankind.
Footnote:
God is so wise and wonderful; just when everybody sees you as unserviceable, unemployable
and dispensable, He provides with the strongest force on earth - the capability to pray. |
Voices Voices, voices, from left and right
So urgent, demanding with might
Resounding from north and south
East and west, of bombastic mouth.
Loud, angry, ugly arguments
Persuading for your sentiments
Recalling past hatreds so hot
Revulsions start breaking your heart.
Voices, voices, ego flattering
Fantasy of beauty alluring
Buy this, buy that, the voices say
Urge to spellbound before payday.
Whispers from prints and media
Stir your souls to wander astray
Sounds and images bombard the brain
Humble man no longer the same. |
Science and
technology announce
Modern ideology is now pronounced
Children are lead from old wisdom
Families break with false freedom.
Genius' efforts for better life
Astro-scientists devulge light
Human greed for power and fame
Use the light to main, kill and shame.
Magi heard voice millenniums ago
"Most Beloved One is among you"
The poor and the sick saw His Light
The rich and powerful lost their sight.
Voices of love resounded far
Billions learned to love without fear
Angel of love went far and wide
Pontifical voice implored, "Abide!"
