Stop Child Labor Now

Why subject them to danger and risk?
If they represent something so special
Why not attend to them with such brisk?
Especially, when things look crucial
Every child is an important element
It’s been my intent to save every child
Come on, this is not an experiment
I am stopping it with every effort in wild
I am so determined to stop this train
Hopefully, I am not alone but in a team
Working to stop child labor again and again
Oh yeah! That’s also my dream
Please just help get the message across
We are here to help carry the cross

 

The time is very due!
The time to stop it all
Time to stop this bad act.
The act of child laboring.
Set the children free.
Save our future leaders.
Save them from suffering.
And save our dear future.
Nourish them with much care.
Give them the needed attention.
And Stop Child Labor, stop it now.
Stop it completely, stop it for good.
This is only one way we can.
To save our wonderful future

 

I can see only one way
Only one way to save our tomorrows.
The children we see today,
Are the instrumental future leaders.
Perhaps they are the hope of the future.
With arms in arms, wake wild and bold.
That we may soon arrest this saga.
The little children, our future heroes
Suffers a lot and we can testify this.
It is most happening in Africa.
And far in the corners of Asia
Save them from risk and danger
Make life live wealthy for them
It’s our very very responsibility
To protect the future leaders

There has been several efforts.
I know many people are hard on it
Deep in it with all arms widely open
Wild in it with all eyes watching over
Just to bring this child labor thing to a stop

I know brethrens and sistrens across the globe.
Who are working with real energy
To put this child labor thing away.
Ranging from the United Nations'
Conscious and sub conscious efforts.
Through UNICEF and other wings
To save the future leaders everywhere.
Just can’t refuse to regard that great work
Also the relentless efforts by corporate bodies.
Such as NGOs, Governments and other institutions
That fights every night and day across the globe.
To save the future of our precious world.
Just can't imagine the world of tomorrow
All so without the children of today.
Now the call is clear and loud
Wake up and join in the fight
To Stop Child Labor Now

One Wish of a Refugee

We were free and safe
Facing the challenges of life
In much more desirable manner
We were at least happy
For the peace we were enjoying
On our land of birth; our homeland
We never anticipated this at all
That war would tear us apart
And leave us miserable this way
We witnessed so powerlessly
Our brothers and sisters brutalized
Our homes and properties burnt
And then followed our displacement
We have hopes but in despair
We cried peace but in bloodshed
That oh, we’d better seek refuge
We run for our dear lives
Hunting for safety across the borders
Our dreams seems direly shattered
As we saw our children butchered
While there was nothing we could do

What is happening?
A little girl asked the mother
Our lives are in danger,
Answered the victimized mother
Where are we going then?
Another child asked the father
We are running to seek for safety
Answered the desperate father
What about our homes?
And what about our homeland?
An elder boy thought deep within
Where is the collective security?
That guarantees our safety and surety?
Why are they killing our people?
Why all these humiliations and brutalities?
So who is the cause and to be blamed then?
We must not accept this indictment
We must have a far fairer dream
And we must wake to the challenge
We can’t afford this victimization
Just one wish do I wish to accomplish
Yes! To return home blessed day

The guns kept rattling
The soldiers kept battling
My people kept dying
As the bombs kept flying
We have lost everything
Except for some few lives
So who gains from these pains?
And who deserve the blames?
Thanks to the international community
For their supports and sympathy
Now that our hopes seems lost
All we are praying for is total calm
So we can sail free and safe in the storm
We want prevailing peace to reign
To clamp down the war campaign
That we may return home; our wish
And put together every piece in peace
The time is right; the light is bright
We shall realize our beautiful dreams
And we shall accomplish our wishes
Yes! We shall accomplish this one wish
To return home one blessed morning

Hope: Not Dope

The way forward is never straight
So you must be strong enough to be great
The battle still goes on; you’re not late
So you must make a move; don’t wait

Everyone was born to be a spinner
It only takes time to be a winner 
Every means surely gets thinner 
It takes endurance to have a dinner 

The battle is not for the paramount
Everyone adds up to the final amount
You must stand a part in this count
The cost of the crown never favors a discount

I have admitted the fight is never stress-free
That’s why to give up, I’d always disagree
I have faith and it endures my living hope
That’s why I’d favor my hope to never dope

At the tails of the ancient characteristic rope
We keep joining the head of the new rope
So we fear not the wicked, we don’t dope
We stand to fight and win as we always hope

Provoking Thougts

Where is our defense? Suspense!
Where do we go from here? Fear!
Stop the nonsense. No pretense.
Stop the mad Bear coming near
Seems the time is right, to fight
Seems this’ a game, with no blame
We must fight but for right
We must tame every name
Where are our mistakes? At stake?
What is the way forward? Rightward!
What can you also make? Just flakes?
Where are we toward? The upward!
Am afraid, the table is turned. Wrong turn
So we all must wake up. Don’t give up.
The fear, we all must burn. The right turn.
So we all can stay up. Always take up.
What do you think about the system?
Is there any room for betterment?
What solution can save the system?
Who can guarantee our betterment?  

Can you read the signs in the air?
Analyzing, do you think they are fair?
So where do we go from hear?
Is there any hope coming near?
The battle is getting more startling
As we started the harder battling
Who is going to hear should we call?
Who is there to support when we fall?
Seems our hopes are molten. Destitution!
But we still trust to revitalize. Possession!
There is a question I always keep asking
But it seems everyone kept masking
So I am waiting to finalize this quest
And set ablaze the troubles in the west
This poetic and emotional piece, 
Though thought provoking, is for peace
I pray the star of our freedom shines
Just like the bright morning sun shines
So we can understand hidden things
And always do but better things.

Coming Home

My dearest wonderful sweetest lover
For you, I’d forever be a guardian
To safeguard our true love custodian
I promise to with my dear, tour Java 
Over the years, I knew, you so missed me
But be happy now, for am coming home
Happily coming home from ancient Rome
I’m coming home with my whole love army
To show you the portraits of my dream love
Hoping I’d meet you with such tender smile
The smile that I’ve missed from such long, a mile
Yes! Home, I’m coming for you my dear love
Trust me, this time its true, I’m coming home
Because I really missed my sweetest home

To My Love

I am penning my newest sweet love verse.
To my dearest darling sweetest lover.
The queen with whom I’d always hover
With you alone, I’d share my universe
Can you please lend me, happy attention?
Because am getting out of the glad mood.
And it’s draining away my feel of good
My dear, let not jump into contention 
I promise to always be there for your love.
I’d buy you beautiful but real flower
Just open your heart like this kind flower 
Its from my heart to you my dearest love 
Come on, check out this analyzed passion
It’s my secret love poem inspiration

Believe In Yourself

Believe in yourself
That you can make a change
That you are a winner
And that your time is right

Believe in yourself
Because there is none like you
Because there is more hope
And because your light is bright

Believe in yourself
Even if all hopes seems gone
Even if there is no reason to smile
And even when you are failing

Believe in yourself
Be your own motivator
Be your own inspire (r)
And be your own mirror

Believe in yourself
Never feel letted down
You can climb higher
Just hold on tighter

Believe in yourself
Believe in your dreams
Believe in your abilities
And believe in your future

Believe in yourself
You are stronger than you think
You are better than they thought
And you are the very one

Believe in yourself
Drive gently to your destination
Fly smoothly to your world
And ride slowly into your future

Believe in yourself
Everyday as the time runs by
Every night as the tides rides
And every second as you breath

Believe in yourself
To pave the path of destiny
To set the pace of reality
And to redefine your personality 

Believe in yourself
To wear your crown of success
To drink the ever living water
And to clean every dirty place

Believe in yourself
This the new message
This is the new inspiration 
And this is for the transformation

Making Things Happen

Never lose hope because of what they say
Never be afraid of what intent they may lay
You have to be a man enough to wear the crown
So no matter how hard seems the battle, move on
To be a victor, it takes not merely the swiftest 
You must be strong and tough like the fittest 
There are many other tighter barriers to cross 
Everyone must be fit enough to carry his cross
There are many great books yet to be written 
Everyone must know the truth so long hidden

………./////……../////……..//////……../// ///…….

You can make it work better
And be on record as the pacesetter 
The battle is tough, admitted
But we are strong enough, permitted 
Just fight and win the good fight
When you sight the bright light
Before man became a living idol,
There was a living hope to never fall

…….////…….//////…….//////………/////…… ….

You don’t have to stand there and watch
While you can hear the tickling of your watch
You better stand up now for yourself
Before your books decay in your shelf
Don’t ever wait until it’s too late
You must know, your faith determines your fate
Don’t act a Long John first in London
You must be ready to face Armageddon
There is no more precious time to waste  
It’s very high time we gird every waist 
So we can fight for the victorious crown
And implement the master plan long drawn
Yes! We can make things happen
Though many just watch things happen

His Excellency Mr President

Hello his Excellency Mr. President,
I pen this piece to revise an indent 
There is this one popular question
I have always kept in position
That the very day I’d have the chance,
I’d play it and dance it for a balance
What is the state of health of our economy?
And how far are we from a weak economy?
How fresh is the meat on the bone?
Can your ministers confirm it on phone?
What happened to the hopes we built?
Do you think these can ever be rebuilt? 
I have no doubt our nation is great
But am only worried how long we’d wait
Are you ready to strike with this mantle?
You must be bold to strike to the mantle

Well, we are still counting the promises
The electoral promises before elections
Can you please welcome me into your premises?
Or it’s still the game of favorite selections 
Mr. President, what about the budgets?
Are we running stamping in hollow deficits?
Do we already have the proposed gadgets?
And what about the negatively effective elicits?
Who is there to be blamed for our failures?
His Excellency, where do we go from here?
Who takes charge of the sensitive areas?
And what are your plans for the next year?
Your nation love you; you are a hero
Keep your dreams real and alive
So you can lead like a real hero
Mr. President, keep your spirit high and alive

Praise the Lord

The Lord is so good
Not only in providing us food
Or by providing us hardwood 
He is really and truly good

Praise Him in the morning
When you see the sun shining
Praise Him in the noon
When you recall your boon 

The Lord is wonderful
Not only for being Father-ful
Or being so much Mother-ful 
He is really and truly wonderful

Praise Him in your ways
When you count your blessings
Praise Him all the days
When you recall your annexing(s)

With my entire being,
I’d magnify the Good Lord
With my hope of living,
I’d extol the wonderful Lord

Praise Him for your misfortunes
For He takes off all the stings
Glorify Him for your fortunes
For He restores them in rings

The Lord is the Mightiest 
The creator of the Universe 
Praise Him if you are a Rightist 
The master brewer of the Universe

With songs of honor,
Fill your heart all the time
With acts of manner,
Storm your life all the time

The Lord is a Holy King
His mercy extends far across
Praise Him, our mighty King
He’d release the burden of our cross 

There is no other like Him
He is one and always one
So praise but only Him
Yes! For He is the One
