Long Little progress Poems

I am appalled by the acts of atrocity in this world of eccentricity 
How can you handle the rebellious transgressions of all children, women and men?
I want to serve You, master, with all I got…
I...

I'm smart when I'm in my shell of solitude
Waiting till you're gone
So I can wear this attitude of gratitude
Bug off, bad attitude
I don't mean to act so rude
I feel ashamed and nude
The day is finally...

In the past, I was phoneless
I showed my dissatisfaction and sadness
Just by my facial expressions and foolish actions
Thank you, oh Lord of Accord, for an iPhone – 
Now, it’s fulfilling my satisfactions…
I was on my...

I lost my train of thought
I'll give it my best shot,
Giving it the strength I got

These tears and frivolous fears
I've fought for a thousand years

I've dreamt these frightening nightmares
I've shattered many mirrors with splinters
Just to...

God, I am overwhelmed within me,
But you are merciful everlastingly
You release your sincere spirit of shameless serenity
And you wash me thoroughly with it wholeheartedly,
For I've been lost for many a year
I must grin in gladness...

Give me an excuse or a reason…I’m going through this depression, making 
little progress
To overcome these waves of emotions…and I tried with all of my might to be so 
bold
Friends come and go like season...

Some claimed that Camelot was noble,
a place built upon the stony ground
of good-intentions,
it was new and fangled,
it was progressive
in a time of little progress.

I have seen it, I was there,
always there was the choking fog

Global girth seems to gain all the time,
Giants garnering world's every dime,
The rich grab all the pie--
Why the poor poorer die
In the world, piling wealth's when no crime.

Fine, lemon you find sweet is sweat lime,
Nor...

I’m locked inside a place so very small
I do not fit inside it physically.
And yet it somehow is consuming me.
At times, I feel I can’t break loose at all!

My arms and legs were not bound...

Red paper poppy
Emblem of the fallen
Symbol of the fields wherein they lay

Made by those returning
From their living hell
With broken bodies and shattered minds

Colour of their comrades’ blood
Worn by the ever grateful
Determined that “ Lest we...

I
The scripture I read
Rebukes lust and greed
My Lord will forgive
Change how we live
Love God, love people:
Not pastor, church, steeple

I have Hindu family
They offer their homily
On forgiveness too often
Basics of love, shun
So, I write poetry

Confronted with this year's grim virus scare
our spring was lost to common joys we share-
new hope with summer rays?

But summer came, and much remained the same;
death numbers down, but normal, cannot claim-
perhaps by autumn's blaze?

Now...

Seaweed, fragmented shell as cannonballs 
in maelstrom hurled upon the shore.
The bellowing wind cast all asunder
as Summer’s shoots from shifting sand were torn.
Such was Autumn’s storm.

The sleet was blown in horizontal sheets
as figures double-bent fought...

When a millionaire 
Wants to prey on you 
And you reject his offer 
_______________________

To do your own thing. 
You will become a living
Dead on this earth.

I can't breathe normal, 
Fighting  for survival. 
Fail to speak a word, 
Although trying so hard. 
Let me leave this place, 
Heal my scar and its trace. 
I don't want to survive, 
But I...

From my youth,
I knew no goodness 
Teach me His truth
So that I will meet success

I hope I'm making little progress

From my youth,
I knew very little at first
Teach me Your truth 
Or I'll remain in thirst
