Love

My love, O dear, isn’t confined 
to you alone
You are mortal and my love 
immortal
My undying love goes beyond 
horizons

I love the moon that gives me 
moonlit nights
I love the stars that are woven 
in the sky
I love the sun that brightens 
my days
I love mighty oceans and 
fathomless seas

I love mountains, embodiment 
of height and strength
I love the village where my 
mother lives
And its earth the custodian of 
my ancestors’ bones 
I love rains that brings crops, 
fruits and flowers

I love music and rhythm of 
dancer’s Payal  
I am a born lover, my love 
knows no bounds
It traverses the earth and 
scales gigantic skies
To reach the Throne of the 
Creator, the God!

A Leap

I find it amazing 
That “seers” see less in the bliss of the grace
And every fore telling is the embrace of chaos 
That many “seers” see to confirm the pending destruction
And yet we doubt the existence of the “god” of the day.

One source is these sights I say. 
I find it intriguing 
Seers foretelling admittedly subject to humanity
You tell me the sky will fall, and the earth will melt
Yet by my actions, to these sights, the earth I can pelt 
And protect my beloved from the sights of the day

I will be a fool to doubt the existence of the God of my day
Keeping to his word I stand tall, though a thousand shall
fall. 

I find myself saying
Let the sky fall, let the earth melt,
Let the stars align, the economy collapse, 
And let chaos consume the civil
My Offspring with thrive, Mercy will my cap fill
The living will be birthed in my house, to others thrill

My land will bring forth in its season.
My end will be at the birth of the living
Not the Dawn of simple reasoning.

A Pledge To Africa

I pledge to Africa, my continent
Where the sun does not rise or rest
I'm proud to be color of her heritage
I pledge to uphold her cultural prestige
Gliding is the epitome of her beauty
That makes her glow like sunray
People came together like frothy of palmwine
Where the sun decide to smile
Where the earth will never open it mouth
Where heaven and earth collaborate
Where palmwine is serve for unity
Land of peace, land of humanity
Where the dead hide their faces
I'll contribute my quota to her continuous success
Oh Africa! I'm proud to be your child
Africa of treasure land
God bless Africa,
Africa, my Africa

Nothing is perfect and pure

and nothing is good and clear

Everything awaits your arrival

and everything in this earth has to be changed

From the love of mother to wife’s affection

everything is envenomed

 

Dedication and thoughts of sacrifice

are things of the past,

some good things may be here and there

but man is less human and more insane,

Saints and monks have changed their path

to mint money for chasing luxury

in cars than taking care of fellow men

 

Temples have lost their sanctity and peace

and turned into plazas for profits.

Kanna, My Lord

Come to this world as a rescuer

Kanna, My ruler

come to this earth once more

as an emperor

to set things right

and pull us out from our plight…
