IT COULD NEVER BE
It could never be
only me,
as I search,
and research
for a missing connexion,
for end to a puzzle that baffles,
and confounds and confuses
even the best of sleuths,
and when the rummaging around
seems hopelessly lost,
that as a cause
we genealogists all seem stuck
in a bygone age of forebears
and ancestors of previous times,
until to me, realization comes strong
have I yet prayed to the one?
Yes, the one who has all answers,
and have I lifted up my earthly cares,
for there is in,
and amongst all the clues of interest strong,
an elusive link that evades capture,
and it makes me mull over,
that without prayer
I am clueless and without connection,
to what I seek in the past
and amongst many documents in hand,
I can associate
to what I seek for conclusion,
of forebears on family tree,
that until I pray;
there is no way
my family tree is complete.

Sorry madam, I can’t you follow
Don’t move son, I’ll come to your row.
I can’t understand a word from your mouth
Next time I’ll bring my PC and a mouse.
English makes me look stupid and ill at ease
Well then, I’ll teach you English in Chinese.
Teacher, teacher I have lost my book
Never, ever instead use your face book.
Blessed having connexion in our classroom
A pity! for your smart phone you have no room.
Studies, homework and revision yet, not ready for the exam
Sacrifice texting, chatting and log off your Instagram.
Dad and mum about my school results do complain
Tell them video games have killed the student in you, what a shame!
I sometimes cross the lines and of school rules make light
Learning is both a duty and a right not a joke neither a fight.
Misunderstanding always occurs, you and I should find a way
Dear student to yourself and the teacher a due respect you should pay.

Having no colour honour or even humour
such a shame on you
liking glamour honour and favour just for weddings
and there the colourist painters
anaemic thoughts let us not be paralysed by our difference
like in the aeroplanes above
we do both now travel
and dream of the Broadway theatres
(lettuce keep our connexion)

Permettez-nous d'être ensemble. Le coeur ne devrait pas être seul, la nature ne le
permettra pas. L'univers est attaché par l'amour ... par la connexion ... par la
chaleur éternelle de passion qui garde la terre tournant autour du soleil, pourquoi
devrions-nous être chacun différent ? Prenez ma main, pas pour vous ou moi, mais
pour le monde lui-même .... cela ne sera jamais complet sans nous ensemble.
(translation)
Let us be together. The heart should not be alone, nature will not allow it. The
universe is bound by love...by connection...by the eternal heat of passion which
keeps the earth spinning around the sun, why should we be any different? Take my
hand, not for the sake of you or me, but for the world itself.... it will never be
complete without us together.
