Aboriginal tribes, ancient and free,
Bold explorers sailed ‘cross the vast sea.
Colonial dreams, a new world’s birth,
Devout pilgrims, a holy rebirth.
Emancipation’s fight, a nation’s test,
Freedom’s beacon, forever the best.
Great minds convened, a framework to frame,
Human rights secured, liberty’s aim.
Immense territory, a nation’s expanse,
Joint efforts waged, a defiant stance.
Keen Monroe Doctrine, a hemispheric shield,
Land’s westward march, a battle afield.
Mining for fortune, a golden desire,
Nation divided, a civil fire.
Ordeal endured, a nation’s renewal,
Powerful industry, of immense capital.
Quest for reform, a progressive age,
Raging World War, a historic stage.
Suffering nation, a desperate plight,
Transformation’s hope, a guiding light.
United we stand, a global might,
Voices united, a civil right.
War’s tragic toll, a nation’s strife,
Xenophobia’s stain, a troubled life.
Yearly sorrow, a nation’s wound,
Zero tolerance, a pandemic’s sound.

He was a hero (not)
Infinite frigid cool-frozen cold subzero
A circle infinite ero
Resting on a pillow
Nestled in asleep in the willow
Mouth wide open, open curtains
Has a guest, not his wife and let
He rose,
She rose
Not a Godly man
Steppin out, and (just got caught)
Now label both them just wearin a sheet
Standin on their feet
in vitro-vitro
Not a good righteous couple neither one of them
Mine hero they’re just zeros
This couple of adulterers no heroes

Faithful was my father in providing care of family a protector
Always working no weeks off no vacation
Tending family matters totally together with wife my mother
Hero to his own children first then others
Ever and always a faithful working provider
Regal royal and respected disciplined and destine
Son of two Fathers one human one heavenly divine
D evoted to family first and then goes beyond
A lways steadfast attribute to a father
Y esterday today and always a father

Socialites and the elites’ absence, they pledge
Low life exhibition will always emerge
Adults basking in the lowest stratum’s edge
Zero tolerance for the toppers to dredge
Yeah, dry land has nothing to do with a sledge

I-nclement clime turns fine,
N-ew dawn breaks better;
I-n June twenty-ninth morn,
G-ray haze is just
O-ver.
E-vening shadows go away,
N-ight clouds don't gather;
Z-ero visibility passes by,
O-ne cold chill is over.

To husbands who are mystified
We offer here this marriage guide.
You'll have the finest union yet
If you accept this alphabet.

F udge the truth and say she's slimmer.
G ems and roses cool her rages.
H and to her your weekly wages.
I nsist you love her every day.

M-ake it above zero,
I-ntensify your ardor;
C-limb the highest hill,
H-aving a great vigor.
F-ind the score above zero,
E-leven is over the limit;
R-emain focused with fervor,
N-ever get weaker bit by bit.
A-im not for loss that brings
N-othing but sheer sorrow;
D-ay three of September,
E-nergy is ten above
Z-ero.

M-illion mirth in the heart
I-s caused by ecstasy;
T-wenty-fifth day of May,
C-omplete joy makes you
H-appy.
A-n amount of mirth is million,
B-ringing big birthday bash;
E-xcitement of the event
L-ets you enjoy without a cash.
L-arge size of mirth makes mess fade from your mind;
A-bout to appear is euphoria, leaving the muss behind.
A-mount of thrill is thousand,
Z-ero is the chaos on birth;
A-nother chunk of cheers
S-olidifies the million mirth.

A-s we both enjoy the day,
N-ice feeling we both share;
A-n occasion for the two of us, bringing joy to us together.
G-ood greetings from friends,
R-emembering our birth;
A-lmighty God in heaven
C-reated us on this
E-arth.
D-ay thirty in warm July,
U-tter mirth is brought to our life;
R-egards and warm wishes
A-re all removing the strife.
N-ight cold chill has faded,
T-wilight is over and gone;
E-vening shadows disappear, paving the way for the sun.
V-ile weather has turned fair,
A-s the rain stops to drop;
L-ight in the sky shines,
E-mitting rays from high up.
N-ew dawn has broken,
Z-ero visibility turns clear;
U-nder the wide blue lane,
E-arly morn causes cheer.
L-et us cherish the moment of gladness coming our way;
A-llow us to feel so happy, as we both enjoy the day.

L-et it all hang out,
O-ne chance to be sincere;
L-et the false happiness turn
I-nto a real drop of
T-ear.
R-eveal your true feelings,
O-ne opportunity to be honest;
D-ay thirty in sunny May,
R-esolve the emotional test.
I-nside and out say it clear,
G-rief and sadness you show;
U-nder untrue appearance,
E-vade hiding fear of nothing or
Z-ero.
D-eny not the exact score,
U-sing your facial expression;
L-et the words voice out,
P-lacing you in right position.
I-n your mind, heart and soul,
N-ever hesitate nor doubt;
A-ct without dissimulation, just let it all hang out.

C-an see it in the dark,
H-iding deep doesn't matter;
A-ll things are clear to God,
Z-ero visibility to the sinner.
I-n the dark God can see it,
R-unning away one can't do;
I-n the farthest space above,
S-hadows can't conceal the
H-ue.
M-an sees not the unknown,
A-lmighty God knows all;
R-emaining in the cold night
C-an't save anyone's soul.
I-n June thirtieth morn, God reveals His wisdom;
A-ccess to every thought, word and deed is in His palm.
R-ainy evening is bright,
A-s the black becomes white;
M-idnight clouds have turned
I-nto a wide shining light.
R-ight side or the opposite,
E-ast and west of the park;
Z-enith of flame at twilight, God can see it in the dark.

R-ain and chill are gone
O-n March twenty-seven;
S-hadows have disappeared,
A-s the morning sun has risen.
R-ampaging storm has turned
I-nto a very good weather;
O-ne new dawn has broken after the twilight is over.
G-leams above have prevailed
O-ver the deepest darkness;
N-o more mist in the air,
Z-ero haze, without mess.
A-nother day is shining,
L-ight in the sky is bright;
E-arly wind blows gently,
S-oftly leaving the night.

R-ain has stopped falling
O-n March twenty-fifth day;
S-un is beginning to rise;
E-vening chill has gone away.
A-nother morn has broken,
N-ew dawn is now shining;
N-o longer I see the dusk and twilight of the evening.
G-ray clouds have disappeared,
O-nly when clime turns fair;
N-ight darkness is over,
Z-ero haze floats in the air.
A-fter the storm has faded,
L-ight in the sky turns bright;
E-arly mist passes from view,
S-hadows are nowhere in sight.
E-very cloud up above,
S-ilver lining is in there;
C-limb the highest hill
A-s you can make it anywhere.
L-ose not standing your ground,
A-im for sparkling victory;
N-ot for a moment must you quit
T-o reach the
E-nd of journey.
