Blessings Beyond Histrionics of Dope and Horoscope
Be a blessing to everyone
Inflict neither malice nor poisoned chalice on anyone
If you can heal and feel positive for someone
If you should quit the kingdom of wretchedness
Departing from the abode of wickedness
And abandon cordons of stiffneckedness
Opening your arms wide to friendship
Despite the rancor of hostility and hardship
As God bestows on you the stewardship
To bless your foes
To conquer your woes
To handle well your hoes
In circumstances of blurred vision
In distances and instances where derision
Singes and saps your willpower to make the decision
That turns your life around
Despite your chequered background
God sets your feeble feet on gregarious ground
That propels you forward
Sailing you through Harvard frontward
To land into your hands the just reward
You feel your skills hardly deserve
In a setting that saps your energy and synergy reserve
To catapult your destiny into the preserve
You hardly believe possible
Over and above the sieve of the impossible
For which you’re held responsible
Unless you heal and bless the weak
Surging forth to strengthen and hearten the sick
Ensuring no fate, no destiny remains bleak
If within your power
Lies the possibility to tender a fragrant flower
That brings a smile and hope to someone on the hour
Appointed to relieve stress
To go the extra mile and grace
Faces of despair despite their race
Endeavouring to devour despair
Unhappiness and unbelief to repair
As blessings you shower on the brokenhearted a plethora of care
Essential to restore hope
To enlarge and widen the scope
That sows hope beyond histrionics of horoscope and dope.
