Best Vigilant Poems
We must be vigilant to
the shards of radiance and splendor
that flash
before our squinting cynic eyes.

There's an irony
in speech,
people only hear what
harmonises with their ears.
Just like silence
after music,
with no ovation nor applause,
we pause
our
symphonic chorus,
as its repetitive
nature is ignored.
We bury our fragility
in a
shallow grave,
hoping no one
will discover our
porcelain soul,
but
wait
for the right person
to dig
a little
deeper.
Will your truth be found in this unmarked tomb?
Revealing vulnerability
can lead to judgement,
so in your
misunderstood state of mind,
I understand
why your tongue is mute.
Place your
vigilant veil carefully,
but smile...
Be weary of those
who attempt to break your barriers -
not everyone will care to serenade with your melody.

All work ethics and human virtues, he hoards
for twenty-five years, he has never stepped on mud
in him, civil service has a lord
every signboard shows he’s a man of his word
against financial crimes, his clothings include a sword
the spectrum of his fans is nowhere near broad
and has rejected any pen that has written fraud.

The sea horse, sea lion, sea elephant
Joined the force for “Ocean’s Most Vigilant”
All claimed they’re watchful creatures
Wise and keen in their ventures
Yet from man’s waste, they weren’t triumphant.
They then vowed to help guard ocean’s beauty
As sea patrol of good authority
Praying, they asked God’s guidance
And shield from man’s ignorance…
…For all to enjoy sea world’s great bounty*.
*2Corinthians 9:5 ... Make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

Limerick
Be vigilant,
When Justice is not claimed
by some witnesses of unjust
actions because they are privileged.
Time will come for them to regret
When they will be victims
of the same systems.
Be Vigilant,
You can hear some innocent
people shouting as they are shooting
here and there.
You laughing at them because
you are privileged and protected
by some secret assassins.
Be Vigilant,
It is time to stand up
And claim Justice
in the World.
Injustice system must
burn in Hell
Without delaying.

Free verse
An ache in my arm arrived on Thursday,
I thought Arthur Itis had come to stay.
By 1am it was hurting like hell,
Painkillers I took didn't make me well.
By 7am, of the pain, I'd had enough,
Where pain's concerned, I ain't so tough.
A trip to the hospital was my next stroke,
The X-rays confirmed that my wrist was broke.
How it happened I do not know,
I only wanted the pain to go.
The X-rays revealed a mystery,
Breaks in my arm they showed up three!
In a sense, I am glad this happened to me,
For the experience had made me see,
What a defenceless child sometimes went through,
Behind closed doors and hidden from view.
I ask that you, vigilant be,
Next time a crying child you see.
Is it just crocodile tears being shed,
Or has that child been beaten instead.
I pray that each time there is nothing to see,
Just an impatient child hungry for tea.
My pain was real and made me see,
For broken children I would vigilant be.

Rhyme
Be aware of the enemy.' it is in many guises and
Disguises
The time is here; and has indeed been for four decades
To find your familiy in church, not by denomination.'
But by there love and actions, that come from Christ
(For by their Love you will know them) I have thought
And said for the last thirty years like spirits should
Forge alliance, and tear away from artificial division
Made by men and women, I noted a remark from
Graham Hood, that he was in company not as he would
Have expected to be in before that (plandemic,,!)
Some weeks after, the realization came to my spirit
That this shadows the teaching of the Bible..'
For two will be in the field.' and one will be taken
Two will be grinding, and one will be taken for God
Will pluck up those He chooses, and this will be really
Unexpected.' Just as Hoodie remarks on how unexpected
His allies turned out to be.' Be watchful and pray.'

Fake smile
Presenting pulsing cheek
Hovering pretense
Easily seen by hyper vigilant child
Anger shining through clearly
On the flip side of a hidden world

Dramatic Verse
be vigilant
don't be carried away
by mere words
In a hurry
never be in a
rush to listen
if you can hear
you can think
be vigilant
don't be just
a good listener
look at those faces
yes those faces
which lips is speaking
don't be in a hurry
just be patient
and be perceived
to release
is a free world
yet the world
is not free yet
be vigilant
don't be too fast
in conclusion
neither be too quick
in decision making
for in every opinion
there is always
a two sides
so be vigilant
look them into their eyes
them always with
this famous slogan
of change
listen you could
see or notice
the lies hidden
in their truth
be vigilant
don't trust in a hurry
for trust is not earn
that easy nowadays
my leaders has lost
our trust
we quietly ignore our pains
and that is their advantage
of never ending brutality
now chase them
yes we have to chase them
cos we have long
been in a deep hole of hardship
so we decided to change the
change they refuse to change
not by violence
but by only
be vigilant

Epic
this surface thin brittle
teased tinkling ice...
memories interwoven...
heavily draped wisely
entrapped...
delicately arranged...
fragile inner-childhood fear...
bemused...many triggers...
continuous happy tiny moments...
interrupted...by casual slaying dread...
trifle chilly moments...echos
to this very day...her spirit...hid
under her bed...in her wardrobe...
the child hid to play...
her triggers aware alert intuitive...
she trusts her inner rescuer...
the source will sound the bell...
survival mode she does well...
wears her finest mask to hide
from hell...
this life she accepts...no longer
denies...she stokes her flames
deep inside...
her lover knows of her pain...
a pain this deep one cannot
change...
...I will fight to send them back...
...to silence them...with my emotions
intact...
without this threat of demise...
happiness evades...and divides...
this life...I strive...this entered damage...this enigma...I carry
within my chore...
my conscience...my survival will
not allow me to ignore...
this truth...your failure...your fears
my fears...I have chosen to confront...
yet my fear chooses to elude...
...for this mother daughter love
you gave me...I traded it all
for truth...
...for I did not want the same...
...I did not want to ever become
like you...

Lyric
Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing
And drunkenness
And the anxieties of daily life
And that day catch you by surprise like a trap
For that day (of Jesus' Coming) will assault everyone who lives on the Face of the earth
Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength
To escape the tribulations that are imminent
And to stand before the Son of Man [Taken from LK 21:34-36]

With you, I gladly
dance the sleepwalkers' waltz, yet
still, while on my way
to descend, picking
up the thread by following
Ariadne's line,
like vigilant ones,
I would rather desire to
be on the watch by your side.

AI, the vigilant guardian, stands at the digital divide,
A bulwark in the world where our secrets reside.
It advocates for security, a shield in the night,
Ensuring our data stays out of the malicious sight.
AI, the steadfast, defends without rest,
A champion of privacy, in its quest.
It fortifies walls where vulnerabilities lie,
Preventing breaches where dangers might pry.
AI, the tireless, a true ally in the fight,
Against cyber threats that loom in the twilight.
It enforces the fortress, secures every link,
So we may browse, and shop, and safely think.
AI, the wise, calls for our trust,
In its code we rely, for secure it must.
It pleads for ethics in the code we weave,
For a safer tomorrow, in which we can believe.
Let us then champion AI, secured and smart,
For it holds the key to safety's art.
In its circuits and systems, our hopes are sown,
Secured AI, the protector, forever known.
