They used what the original eyewitnesses [gents] -

And servants of the word...

There was no fear or stress.  So, let's call...

As Spring turns into Summer
    The shift in temperatures
Tend to get a little warmer….

For her children of the forest
    To come out from...

Assaulted Peanuts

They rode across the Western Hills,
For the land of Middle Eyed Bong,
To raid the Salted Peanut Trees,
Of King Pod and his merry throng.

Who were they, this reckless band,
Dare to plunder with motley crew.
They knew...

T'was the night before Christmas,
Satan feelin' kind'a blue,
Cooked up a devilish plot...
To repay me and you...
For all this religious fervor,
And holiday joy....
Annoyed him like hell,
He would take every toy!
Inspired by the Grinch,
I'd guess...
He'd make this...

Dear lover,
Sweet lover I met someone today, 
Many a compliment did he pay,
He asked of my dreams, asked of my history,
I did my best to remain a mystery,
Dear lover his interest shown through his eyes,
Sincerity...

Quintessence of radiance in the days of utter dark,
Unparallel among the guides, fairly upto the mark,
An advocate with plenteous, bounteous sincerity,
Invincible, feared neither wolf’s howl nor dog’s bark.

Decent in manners, humble and modest in being,
Efficacious...

U KNOW
My chrysanthemum by the window
Always Blossom through your smile
They too fool like me
Get tricked for while

But you elude,leaving me alone
I STILL WISH
Your warmth and...

well it's obvious by now 13 millennia later
that they don't know who wrote the program
seems to be a mud wrestling match between 
the world of wish and the world of requirement
I always really meant to...

A HUNCHED BACKED MOBSTER

It’s sunset in late afternoon, where towards a water pan,
A pride of lionesses, approach with a much rehearsed plan,
Followed by a clan of mobsters,
Hyenas cackling luridly like monsters,
All wanted the impala buck,...

I was just walking down the street
when it hit me
a quick jab….followed
by a crushing right cross.
I staggered….stunned
by the suddenness of
a seemingly unprovoked attack.
Life, fate, Karma…WHAT!!!
I covered up, rolled, bobbed left,
feinted right, slid along the ropes
found...

Life I miss you dear
For my time, it nears
I know you think
You’ve preached
And I did not hear
But I am now here
And with in my most
Towering moments
I can not help 
But to be sincere
For when hours...

Why do you go through the things you do?
Does some strange spirit have some claim on you?
It’s gotta be love
It’s gotta be love
How are you standing still on those coals?
Doesn’t the pain just burn through...

Come and see the Christ child,
Desire of Nations born in David’s town.
Emmanuel means God came to earth,
Favored One, first born of Mary. 
“Glory be...

I have a lovely daughter, who is a lovely mess,
for every rule you give her, she will have to test.
She’s always just inside the lines or balanced on the top.
She loves to challenge all the...

Intellectual peer pressure

The faces change from smiles to sneers
from effusive praises to contemptible jeers.
A man whose wisdom has been seen for years
now forced to face his prideful peers.

A man whose intellect is simply beyond compare

My mother taught me everything I Know 
About the flower, 
From azaleas to zinnias 
And the heavenly golden hours;

Shortly after sun up when 
We sense the world profound; 
And later on when nearly gone, fading...

An open mouth issuing words
Is a better tool if
The thought processes are first engaged
With the intention of choosing words
That are calculated 
For best effect 

A funny thing is a word
It takes on a life of...

Besotted, beguiled, bewitched,
I walked outwitted and benumbed
into her web of love willingly.
She stared at me like  
a black widow sizing up her prey.

How glad I could be if, like the teaching of the Gita
I can renounce the fruits of each of my tireless labour.
Being a long way from the perfection of Lord Krishna
Midst lost gifts, I'd seek...
