Happy again

Happy again Poem

The smile's lost in the interim
...the contenance's frost in the meanwhile
Wondering if things would be right again
...as sorrow and grief dominate without end

Good spirits appear hopelessy defeated
...while gloomy clouds idly sit unrestricted

Happiness bereaved
…joylessness weaves
Longing to be joyously freed
…wanting a cheerfully good laugh

Being what I happily enjoy
...belonging to what I desire with love

Life's not always in one ideal piece
...yes to the servants of goodwill

...honourable souls of hopefulness
Whenever the devine opportunity presents
...surely, I shall be exultingly happy again

George Bush #43 - President, USA

George Bush is taking it in strides
he is the president in disguise
George Bush brings a breath of fresh air
the world appears to be in good care

He is the commander in chief
surrounded by competent briefs
Thanks to the old man George
his son is in charge of the forge!

Friendly Skies

Moving peacefully across the sky…
Engine sounds follow
Friendly sky sits still above
No missile firing…
No targets to hit

Friendly skies welcome all
Hostile skies, a fireball
Here we live peacefully
and here, we accept thankfully

No wars raging
No enemies staging
Friendly skies are a way of life…
providing a living for many

Above, it stands
...like a place of peace
God must reside somewhere there
…the passage of prosperity too!

Protected by a Christian army
…all for me and you

Freedom and Peace

A Poem about Freedom and Peace

Riding calmly along the awesome coastline
...one brilliant and illuminated day

Zephyr’s blowing lightly across my happy face

Ocean spray's dancing quietly in the air
...trees welcoming their fair share

Choppy is the sea mode
...not a good day for fishing

The gentle breeze freezes my thoughts…
...enjoying the freedom - a peaceful sport

The majestic clouds stand still in the sky…
...along the horizon they appear asleep

Not moving in the breezy heap
...the sun too - appears to dream
Resting still above the air stream

Low pressure's in the air

...cool and windy the atmosphere
Moving serenely without a care
...freedom and peace - the perfect pair

Freedom

Freedom!

No master to report
No labor to resort
No shackles to me confine

The choice here is all mine
I am free
I am me

No Osama in the melodrama
No government dictating my life

I am free by the law
Freedom is my department store

Around me, all creatures are free
to me, that's what should be
Freedom is not free…
there were sacrifices for you and me

Remembering the blood sweat and tears…
for freedom’s endurance through the years
Thanks to those who have paid the price…
the sacrifice for freedom, is one of life

Forgiving

Forgiving Poem

Forgive for life...

Man’s peaceful path of existance

...to inner spiritual bliss

Providing sincere hopefulness

...of better days in meaningful prosperity

For many longing to be delivered and freed

...from the wicked grip of hatred and conflict

Forgiving's the road to redemption of the soul

...to divine goodness and kindness

It’s the source of brotherly love and high spirits

...and the virtue of good neighbourliness

The kind act of noble and honourable folks

...sustains a culture of community unity

Civility’s forever preserved

...with continuous demonstrations of pardon

Allowing nurtured hearts to flourish

...in everlasting joy and thankfulness

The sacred power of brotherly embrace

...defeats the deadly foe

Forgiveness' supreme in life anointed

...celebrated power and esteem to relish forevermore

Fire on Bay

Fire on bay
on a 4th of September day
2001 is the year

Onlookers are watching in despair

The wind blowing from east to west
Fire spreading without regret

Straw vendors are affected the most
the straw market is becoming a ghost

Sadness in the eyes of the affected
Hope of saving much is rejected

The straw market is now history
tomorrow remains still a mystery

Vendors are now without stalls
Concerns are on the minds of them all

The tourists' dollar will be missed
all because of an arsonist

The tragedy has united the nation
People coming together for re-creation

Bigger and better is the talk
the ghost of the market past has to walk!
