We’re all perverts.
Lying about it ultimately exposes the worst of us.

To Willingly Let Go
To willingly let go
Of all the things that cause you pain
The entanglements of life
The things that cause you strife
Choose to cast it at His feet
Don't pick it up
or retreat
Allow the water of His word
To wash away
The tears
The time we waste
When we hang on
The peace we forfeit
Joy we lose
Surrender to the will
of One who knows
Restoration will occur
The ocean of His love abides
Replaces all the pain
To let go
Is gain
To hang on
and keep this pain?
Give grace
To Willingly let go

Holi, a hearty enthusiastic festival in horizon
Colours curdling, water washing every moron;
Out of us evil ever going and playing on
Land of character cherished by coloured lawn.
What a scene to see! Gracious glory gone
If you miss this mesmerizing festival upon
A folly. Foolish will be called such a conn.
Holi, a hearty enthusiastic festival in horizon
Holy played in school is highly pleasing crayon,
For Kinar, Aayushi, Kunal. Aryan or John.
Monorhyme has one colour, holi many micron.
Mital, Mitesh, Vaikhu, SIddhu, Saurabh are don.
This day even principal thinks to prevent throne
And join joy with teachers - see anxiety thrown.
Holi, a hearty enthusiastic festival in horizon
Songs, screams; dance, D.J.; homage and hymn on;
This day with Holika heavy burdens and sins thrown.
Cruel Hiranyakashyapa was killed; glory was won.
Kunal, Arpita, Sandeep, Amit and Shreyas on lawn
Play water and colours with cool Pari’s scone
In Jalgaon, Agra, Kanpur, Karanja, Surat or Bonn.
Holi, a hearty enthusiastic festival in horizon

Among all there is a wholesome son.
His name, we feel pride in, Shauryan.
On 20 November was the jewel born.
So precious that all want him as a pawn
But parents not ready to give for scone.
Without looking at him there’s no dawn
Chess playing at different levels is on.
All are sure of his ability family to conn
In a perfect direction without any con.
He is the best known and virtuous icon
Wishing best for his overall solon.

In all schools, there is assembly conn
Which directs the class or school yon
Expectations of all – trustee – the swan:
Choosing topics and teachers from Taiwan.
Keeping updates is teacher’s duty since eon
So is the assembly to represent omicron.
Different themes or topics about nylon
All are dealt in assembly now and forlorn.
Hence is the theme of Creativity chosen
By Divine Child School in Mehsana anon.
This will go on till students change begone
Illiteracy, agedness, negative mindset, wan.

This poem is dedicated to the twenty little angels killed in Newtown, Conn.
Twenty Little Angels
Twenty little angels left this earth today,
They have gone up to be with Jesus, to continue to play.
Their lives were taken away by a crazed man,
Evil lurked in his mind as he drew up this plan.
We mourn these little angels that left this earth,
They are gone only a few years after their birth.
Jesus has said, “Bring the little children unto me.”
Here in Heaven they will be safe and free.
Lord help us to understand what happened this day,
Change man’s heart as we kneel down to pray.
Please Lord; don’t let this happen ever again,
Take the anger from our hearts, take away the pain.
Your birthday will be hollow for all of us this year,
A huge gap of pain is left behind with a tear.
Lord, gird us up as we face tomorrow,
With love we ask you, Lord, to take away our sorrow.

So many little children
We're sent to heaven today,
When they awoke this morning
They hadn't planned to leave this way.
We know they are in a better place
Where only Love and Peace reside
And all these new tiny souls
Will have angels by their side.
We can never answer why it happened
As we would never understand,
But we know there was a reason
God led them by his hand.
And when you hear of a miracle
Or see bright lights in the sky,
You will know God had lots of help
From tiny souls arrived.
We will never forget as the years pass by
The families that are suffering today,
You are on our minds and in our hearts
Each time we kneel to pray.
In our way we will do our part
As our hearts are broken too,
We will Love each other a little more
Each day, and each year through.
God Bless The Families of Newtown, Conn. U.S.A.

For the Teachers of Newtown, Conn
Though knowledge must be got with smile,
Today for that which I may you to forgive me,
It has brought across your faces such expression of death,
This unholy crime of being innocent, which you try to safe
Those lovely lives during a fraction of seconds have gone.
I therefore now do I praise you,
Sweet teachers, stay: What are you and should be!
Make more of you and rise to the kingdom of knowledge
Or where your valor is done who dares to question it and sit above
Or where I supply into your heart
A little more of weep to seal from the ones
Who already have gone.
