Excuse me I’m not going to pay
For actions taken not by me
And for the words I didn’t say
I never pay a slightest fee
You talk of moral obligation
Known as responsibility
Stripped-down generalization
Can work for you, but not for me
As time goes by, established facts
All of a sudden get revised
The context changes, and it lacks
The prior truth, cause it tells lies
Most folks are prone to something new
They take the current truth for gold
Excuse me for the different view
I’m not that young, yet not that old.

Dear dad
Well really can i even say dear dad to a man who’s never been a father
This is pretty sad
Sad because you had four kids and you seem to act like their a bother
Not sad because the four kids you had were taken care of by other men
But sad because you weren’t man enough to be a proper father
When i think about all the times I needed you to be there and you were
My mind goes to a blur
because when I need you, you never occur
there’s always an excuse
and when too many excuses continued to be in use
My heart became loose
And the love i had for you began to reduce
So maybe if i say “Dear dad” again
You’ll listen to the pain you’ve induced
And start to become better for us if not for you
So dear dad
Will you become a better you?
Not just a better you but
Will you become new?
Excuse me while I weep
The memories I will keep
The excuses I had made
The price that I paid
The brother I have lost
It came with a cost
My heart has another hole
The cancer took its toll
My favorite till the end
My best friend
No matter the distance
No matter the instance
So, please, excuse me while I weep
My best friend, I couldn't keep
Calmness, I'll try to remain
But weeping, I cannot refrain
Why is it my fault?
Honest, I promise it really wasn't me.
I'm just an innocent bystander.

Zucchini chocolate cake is dreamy.
It melts with decadence in your mouth.
Whose birthday needs a cake?

I like your imagination
I always want to find an excuse
To talk to you
And when I do
I always smile.
I always miss the laughter,
That makes and solves the disaster.
On the top of our voices,
We used to make fun and noises.
One tiffin but several hands,
Rounded with friendship bands.
Outside the class we stood,
Making as much excuses as we could.
A dark and a rainy day,
Expecting maths teacher to be absent everyday.
We are like the birds that flew,
Missing the memories which are very few.
I want you to be my friend again,
I always miss the laughter we gain.
It has become a practice
To do or anything don’t
Seeking excuse this World is like
Because of Corona….!
-Dharga Nagar Safa
NO EXCUSE
Come On!
Do You Think I
Was Born Today…
Tomorrow,
In Eden's Arms?

Read this, you must
Excuse my dust,
See ya on flip side,
Reaper's got my hide!
There are no excuses in the Kingdom of God
It is God’s Kingdom and
He will provide for the situation
You have a coach
So don’t approach a situation
Without the Holy Spirit!
He advises, corrects, instructs, trains, tutors, guides
directs and prepares you for your assignment
The Kingdom of God has everything you need while
You are on earth, so ask in His Name and
Align your prayers with His Purpose
You have a coach
So don’t approach a situation
Without the Holy Spirit!

For Listen the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven
against the Ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness
For God showed it to them. the truth!
For the invisible things of him from creation
of the world are clearly seen being understood
by the things that are made,
even his eternal power and Godhead
so that they are without excuses.
So never an excuse can be so open my eyes
so all can see !!Teach me to be me and
know the word called discreet...
Where the wrath of God reveals
the truth from the lies
some time this makes my eyes cry!
So sorry I’m late, honey … I was busy barring the unforeseen
I err on the side of formality in receipt of undetermined
gender-initiated contact via a surname known to me to be of two different genders, despite that, appropriates;
