We all are a masterpiece
cast in His likeness
Blessed to remember
and never forget
What God predetermines
an Angel delivers
New light in the darkness
—tomorrow reset
(The First Book Of Prayers: June, 2018)
Give me a break, enough already!
Censure thrown round like confetti
On the biased philes and phobes
That sit between my ear lobes
Oh! I’ll come clean I’ve prejudice
In choosing whom to hug and kiss
When England take to football field
I pray the other side will yield
But not within my catechism:
Pre judge with a rigid ‘ism’
Love each race no predetermines
All folk, even French and Germans
Gender? save in sporting race
Make your own choice of airs and grace
There is one sphere I must confess
(Enforced by no undue duress)
I make no bones on this decree
Unquestioned: WIFE SUPREMACY!
HAPPY NEW YEAR*

*Dedicated to all my friends and to their families,
wishing all and each one: Health, happiness and
prosperity.
May GOD be with you all year long!
fate is
the ultimate agency that predetermines the course of events
fate is
the inevitable fortune that befalls a person or thing
fate is destiny
it creeps like a rat
it reduces man into a dice thrown on the plains of destiny
but it has been kind to me
Am neither mad nor crippled
yet still I long to see
the day justice shall truly reign
for human life to be sanctified
