(A Long Agonizing Conversion.
Out of the dark forbidding night,
I Struggle now to see the light.
I never felt this way before,
Loved the lair of darkness more.
Was careful in nothing, no good to see,
No miserable longing nagging me,
Then, out of the past in agonizing flight,
Out of the deep I search for sight.
What roused me in my dark domain,
And showed me that the light was gain?
Who made me desire this other way,
Through pain into the light of day?
With knowledge comes uneasy dread,
And regret 'bout the place I fled.
Things have gotten complicated now,
Rending my heart and furrowing my brow.
Self love is such a natural thing,
No concern for sin the heart to wring.
Grief for sin, I've come to know,
In this vile vale of tears below.
Might I find a way of relief,
From this unexpected pit of grief?
This struggle out is laid on me;
I had no thought the light to see.
Seems, like a bull, I am turned this way,
As a pull on the rein comes into play.
With my old will I would refuse,
This shaft of shining light to choose.
Why has God's power upset my way,
Remolding me as a piece of clay:
Turning about my heart and mind,
Into some calm and caring kind?
Is there a purpose in all of this,
A value to gain and a loss to miss?
Is good reason given to me at last,
A way of emergence from my past?
Finally my sight emerges clear,
And I begin to lose my fear,
Oh, what a gift; the gift of sight
With thankful heart, I embrace the light.
This change of heart was born in me,
A hope of Jesus the Christ to see.
I'll no longer covet a life of ease,
Some foolish way myself to please.
Because an eternal joy will come,
When this earthly life is gone.
Stay with the light whatever the cost,
Rejoice in God's saving of the lost.
For the sight of Christ upon the Cross,
Shows great gain comes at great cost.
So with the light, will come the pain,
But, oh the wonder of the gain.
"Light came into the world, but men loved
darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil." John 3:19
"But ye are a chose generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people,
that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvelous light." I Peter 2:9
My heart cries for thousands and thousands of people
those who perished in the earthquake-spawned waves;
known as tsunami, the worst natural disaster
that caused tons and tons of deaths across Asian countries.
It’s a great tragedy, a giant blow to humanity,
with its repercussions to all spheres of life –
a wake-up call, an immediate response
that needs to be attended to and done forthwith.
Global mourning takes its course in every nation,
particularly in these countries of Asia where –
Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka are faced with difficulties;
in coping with destructions, tragedies, and other commotions
indeed, an urgent call that needs an international attention.
In four decades this catastrophe has ceased its wrath,
but after that starts another episode, so terrifying
that people who are caught up in that mere situation
can solemnly declare and profess their fears.
Oh, Mother Nature! at times we don’t know
your reactions that cause pandemonium,
tragedy, destruction, sorrow, and pain to all
like this one, a very strong and powerful disaster.
However, across the world, people show their compassion
with their unwavering generosity that floods in all levels
it’s an illustration that we’re humans with caring behaviors
to all those who’re afflicted and severely hit by this phenomenon.
I can’t imagine how the world mobilizes and responds
showing their love and concern to these people in pain
loss of lives, heart brokenness, and other misfortunes;
these generate an answer to be mindful of them in many ways.
I see the unprecedented generosity that rolls in every land,
institutions and other organizations make a collaboration
in what is conceived and put into action: fund raising,
charity, and pledges of thousands of donors.
Horrific media images shown in television channels,
are remarkable pointers for reflection and yet an invitation;
for someone who needs conversion and a return to church call,
that life can be as quick as those giant waves that killed many people.
It’s a theological reflection which embraces human sufferings,
Like a pathway to profound invocation, faith and trust in Him;
Oh God, our source of strength and goal to fulfill this portion
Where we unite ourselves to all those who’re in afflictions.
*I once met a gentleman whose life had been radically changed through Christian conversion. In a very short while, he made it clear to me that he was being tormented by his past. His wicked deeds of the past kept confronting him, rendering him helpless. He could not move on in peace and confidence with an absolute assurance of God's forgiveness. In my attempt to reassure him, I told him a story that went like this:
I also once had a struggle with the issue of God's forgiveness. To satisfy my troubling soul, I acquired the highest quality and most precise telescope, and through its lens, I observed the far reaches of the human soul seeking to ascertain the whereabouts and the going ons of my 'sins forgiven'.
In so doing, I detected a wall and then a door with a sign reading, "Mortal ears not permitted". "Human eyes not allowed". I could see both east and west but could not measure its distance, nor could I locate my 'sin forgiven'.
At that point I was very disappointed but not undone. I then secured the best and most sophisticated microscope made by mankind. With it I observed the tinest parts of my soul, seeking to find some simblance of my 'sin forgiven'. I did not find a trace of sin. Still unsatisfied, I decided to navigate the great waters and continue my search.
Navigating the seas and oceans, I beheld what seemed to be a massive body of water. It was the Pacific Ocean with a depth of 35,837 ft. As I was passing through the deepest part with all of the water scoping devices one could imagine, I heard God's voice. It was still, kind, and sweet. That gentle and loving voice said to me, "Your sins are so covered, so far gone, so deeply removed, so as never to be seen, heard of, and thought of by me ever again. So in my extensive search, I could only conclude that my sins that had been forgiven were so far and so deep that it was as if they never existed.

I kissed her
like I had a thousand thousand other times
it was ...
similar -
the same movement and press
the same taste
the same lips and mouth and tongue
the same warmth and wildness
and yet ...
it was like kissing a stranger
something intangible had changed it entirely
and my heart dropped like lead ...
instantly, my eyes shot open
and I backed away from her
holding her at
distance with outstretched arms
tears already staining my face
(now pale as the moon)
"oh dear god!" I cried
"you didn't ... you promised!"
and it ALL changed then
as if I was seeing someone I'd
never met before
though I'd spent more than half my
life with this person
"you don't understand", she replied
"you CAN'T understand,
because you're not like ... US"
and it was that last word that killed me
I knew then I'd lost her for good
that no matter what I did
she would forever be a million miles away
and part of an existence that
saw me as inferior, weaker ...
even pitiable ...
she had gone through “The Conversion", you see
two-and-a-half million dollars
(Daddy’s moolah, of course)
and a week in the facility
and now ... reborn!
a cloned body that would never age
never realize disease
never end, but for unnatural means
or accident
and even THEN
there was another version waiting
her mind, id, emotions, passions, psyche -
all that made her HER -
saved to a hard drive
and ready for download ...
I could already see the ‘poor mortal’ pity
in her eyes
and I already hated her for it
I let go of her and stood there a moment
taking a mental picture
while the foolish tears streamed
"you've killed us", I said
and I waited ...
for an apology
an argument
a slap, a tear, a sigh
SOMEthing ...
but she just stood there
pitying me
and I could take no more ...
"I will miss you", I whispered
"but I won't miss this ... THING"
and I poked her angrily as I bit that last
word off like poison …
it was a brutal comment
but it was the only ammunition I had ...
I took the gold ring off my finger
kissed it tenderly
dropped it at her feet
wiped my face dry
and walked away into the gloaming
more alone than I’d ever been …
before.

A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
Every aspect of Western culture needs a new code of ethics - a rational ethics - as a precondition of rebirth.
We are living through one of the most fundamental shifts in history- a change in the actual belief structure of Western society. No economic, political, or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing their images of reality, people are changing the world.
Western people can never create a religion. Religion was never preached by planners.The Western man are too much materialistic . Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury
Western nations have the same ideas of chastity and purity as Pakistanis. Their equivalents are virtue and courage.
Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me”.
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
The culture that prevails in west,
corrupts the heart and gaze of man.
Its Soul is full of stains and spots,
that at leisure one can scan.
If soul of man becomes defiled,
of conscience clean it gets bereft.
It soon forgets high aims and ends,
no taste refined in it is left.
The cultures that prevails in west,
Are quite devoid of Faith or creed.
Amongst the Franks fraternity rest,
On ties of Lineage, Race and breed.
If high cast Berhaman ever chose,
to adopt Christ's Faith and creed.
His rank and state the same remain,
to his conversion Franks wouldn't heed .
If Franks embraced the Muslim faith,
Revealed to Mustafa, sundry and all.
there won't be change in Muslim's state,
the wretch would still remain a thrall.
The History of the West was written by the Horse.
If Frankish Culture brights the motherly urge,
For human race it means a funeral dirge.
The lore that makes a woman lose her rank,
Is naught, but death in eyes of wise and frank.
If schools for girls no lore impart on creed,
Then lore and crafts for love are death indeed.
