A P J Abdul Kalam- a Tribute

Oh! Mother India,
Let the pain of bereavement, with all its might,
try not to express itself......
For it will encounter a huge cascading defeat,
And it'll over-flow for sure!
For the cause of pain is so very deep....
Whole Nation is weeping for the great loss of 
a noble son of yours!
Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam- 
an invaluable gem in your crown!!!

Born in a village called Rameswaram,
laced in the lap of your eastern coromandel coast;
Poverty and hardships filled his childhood,
So he supported his family selling newspapers...
He overcame all struggles of life undeterred,
With an iron will treading the path of hardwork,
Righteousness and sincere effort!

Scaled new heights of success and 
grew up to become an eminent aerospace scientist,
A revered professor and 
a graceful author of several books, 
igniting the minds of millions!
An inspiring soul,a versatile genius
A noble teacher for young and old till the end...
His life-an epitome of discipline, humility, simplicity!
His genius he dedicated, for your defence and designed several missiles
Oh mother so he is rightly called
'The missile man of India'!
He graced your nation as the eleventh president and
touched the lives of millions!
Honour of highest civilian award-The Bharat Ratna, an honour
well deserved!
He ignited a spark in millions of children and youth,
A spark to dream, dream and dream....for 
He believed that dreams would trigger the thoughts and
thoughts in turn into actions!
He opind that its always easy to defeat someone,
but difficult to win someone....
Oh mother, your noble son conquered billion hearts
so easily with the charisma of his persona!
He stood an indomitable champion of universal brotherhood 
and global peace!!!!!
Salutations to this noble son who has set sail for his 
heavenly abode....oh mother this great son of your land 
will reside in all our hearts today and forever!
A legend he was while he lived and will be a legend perpetually....
Our loving homage to this enlightened soul!

Watch him work

Watch him work 

Sometimes you can't see 
Sometimes you can't view 
The Greatness 
Thats within you 
Sometimes we are unsure of what to do 
Like a mystery no clue 
We've over came 
So much the happiness ,the hurt 
The Lord not through with us 
Lets watch him work 

Watch him work 
Its your season 
The Lord wants a reason 
To keep pouring 
And watch you keep growing 

You put in work 
You put in tears
You have survived all these years 
You didnt loose hope 
Overcame fears 
Thats a big deal 
You righted your wrongs 
You became so strong  
He challenged you to be you
The one he made so unique and true 

Watch him work 
Its your season 
The Lord wants a reason 
To keep pouring 
And watch you keep growing 

Watch him 
Wait 
Have the faith 
Its time for us 
To sit and back and let him work 

Watch him work 
Its your season 
The Lord wants a reason 
To keep pouring 
And watch you keep growing 
(Repeat until chorus fades)

Premium Member A Love Like This

I wept in church; the story broke my heart.
The devastation as the news unfurled
would surely tear less grounded folks apart
when trisomy 13 shattered their world.

His hours in this life were but a blip;
in fact they only numbered forty-three.
Yet Isaac saw their home here on his trip
to join his Father in the heavenlies.

His father built his casket out of wood
and bore his little body to the grave.
Somehow in all of this, he understood
and gratitude crashed through the grief in waves.

God used this tragedy to great effect;
though brief was Isaac’s time upon this earth,
the gospel conversations led direct
to eldest son’s salvation and rebirth.

A quiet congregation fought back tears
and marveled at how faith overcame fear.
A truth that simply cannot be ignored:
a love like this comes only from the Lord.

Dark dirt dried gray from days of heat waves
Lips once wet no longer moist dry cough
Replaced the once sweetest voice

And I lie beaten remembering your words my love
How I fell for such trickery I shall never know
Love is now a four letter word like Hell, Vile

Undaunting shadows of you and I emptiness
A void crippling a heavy weight upon my soul
You should feel proud of your ugliness

For you who knew so much have taught me so little
And now I know that ugly goes straight to the bone
You a most formidable ally are a disgusting turd

Had I the strength to speak I would be telling you this
In person. But my weakened state of rejection
Will not allow it st this time. I pray for rain to revive

My wilted dehydrated form so I may rise again
And root myself and become saturated and moist
And speak loud and you will hear my words. 

And I will stand out from the rest for I rose from
Your web of pain and overcame it all. 
I am the ruler of my own destiny you have lost.


From Afar

We can still see Her distant Glory which shimmers from our past
When God was the center of our story and the shadow we cast
All the great things we achieved and the trials that we overcame
We were a land that believed, being lead by Lady Liberty's Flame

But the shine has been taken away and the lusters no longer there
For to God we no longer pray and for His Name we no longer care
So blessed for so long His Amazing Grace was always self evident 
But it is God they now try to replace being the new message sent

And as I turn back and look seeing the last of Her glowing flame
satan can be such the crook in putting all of humanity to shame
Wondering ahead in so leaving behind, Her Light no longer aglow
Once with God we were well aligned, "but hey what did they know"

Where once His great Light was Shone from it we now turn away
Many say that we have grown and so as in Eve they also betray
For now she is but darkness having no sense at all of His Light
Man will only make all a mess for only God is Perfect and Right

When

When will it stop?

When will it end ?

People fighting for their rights

Begging for their lives

They are helpless you can see it in their eyes 

It's not a surprise 
The ones who said would protect us 
They don't 
Take matters into their own hands 
Another African American Dead 
What's said 
He resisted arrest 
Why in the hell would you have your knee in his neck
Where is the respect 
You sat there 
Didn't care 
But you all are abiding by the law
People recording 
People saw 
This is not the first time this happen 
It's becoming the new norm
Protect the people 
But you all are giving them harm
It's turning fatal 
It's turning a mess 
Soon going to have to walk around with a bullet proof vest 
They are starting to do anything 
What has this world come to
It's full of neglect 
It's full of hurt 
It's full of the law 
It's full  of dirt 
No one truly understand
Why do we have to continue to die?
Be on every part of media 
So many rest in peace
When will this cease 
Cops were once good and really wanted to help
These days are all for themselves
Not all some are still great 
That's what hurts 
Some are good and some are dirt
Another knock on a familes door 
To reveal the hurt that your loved one was killed
What's the deal 
Do the people enjoy tearing down a nation that was filled with so much opportunity
Yet they divide us no unity
A moment of silence 
For all 
That in these acts took a fall 
We shall overcome we have over overcame 
Please stop letting our people die in vein
Let the boys grow up to become great men
Let the girls be great women
Let the world not cry
Because another one if ours have died
Chasing running to live to see another day 
For our people this is what I pray 
Put God in your heart 
Stop tearing this world apart 
The world has become so wicked 
That the ticket we cash out is our life
And in the end we are paying the price 
Jesus carried all of our sins 
So we can live again
Please stop the violence
We are tired of remaining silent

Words of Advice

I can feel your anger 
I can feel your pain
It's your fault
You didn't give us enough love

It's your fault 
you weren't hard enough
you should have made
me go to school

It's your fault
look at me now
I have no job
I'm living on the street

The words of blame
travel swiftly around the house
yet look deeper
was it my fault you didn't study

Was it my fault 
you decided to take drugs
was it my fault 
you didn't apply for those jobs

Was it my fault 
you wouldn't 
go to bed at night
fault and blame 

Solves no problem
actions speak louder than words
If I didn't give enough love
learn to cuddle and build love

If I didn't make you
go to bed
learn self discipline
and get there yourself 

there are course's to take
that will build your career 
build the skills and stop blaming me
granted I am not perfect

Yet neither are you 
lets stop laying blame
lets stop creating pain
lets decide to make a future

You can do it
you can stop taking drugs
you can stop finding fault
you can create a career

with the job 
come's the money
with the money 
come's a home

with a wage to support you
you create a life worth living 
you can become proud
stating I overcame drugs

I got a job 
I have a home
I have a family
Thanks for the words of advice

Premium Member Why Fate Why

Came upon my doorstep
Once upon a winter's night
A man with a heavy footstep
In need of a new day's sight!

Pity overcame me and I gave him my heart
And he made of me his own sweetheart
Yet I knew not when I was all torn
And held of life as an object of mourn

Long ago that was,
Today, breathing are my scars
Even I let go of all those wars
I cannot dream again of those stars

Blurred was my whole life
Once a lover, now seeing only strife
I can only ask Fate,
You who watch my gait,

You who gave me such a sorry state
Why, Why?  Could you not wait?
Could you not let me be
Happy in this reality?

All I ever wanted was to help
All I ever did was to whelp
Like a wounded animal
Like a disillusioned girl in need of her pal!

Anne Dickins

Anne Dickins

Anne was an endurance cyclist, 
But in 2011 she ruptured her back, 
Which meant that she did enlist, 
Cauda equine syndrome, her yack. 

A physiotherapist cool by profession, 
And a Games Maker in London 2012,
Anne was offered good instruction, 
In canoeing by Colin Radmore, wealth. 

Although she suffered seasickness, 
Anne took motion sickness lessons, 
Normally for fighter pilots skill, duress, 
Which meant she overcame sessions. 

In 2014 at the ICF Worlds in Moscow, 
She won the gold for the 200 metres, 
And in 2015, Milan, a silver did follow, 
Then 2016 at the Worlds, gold litres.

She was born on the 20th February,
In 1967, so she has much experience;
She won the gold in Rio’s hot country,
In the KL3 class of her convergence.
