The Race
When to you the torch is passed; It’s your race to run. You may take seriously the task, Or your obligations shun. There is no need to fear. Just sprint, or walk, if you can. You will, for sure, get there. Stay the course, be human. All face life’s narrow straits, The gradients steep, daunting at...

Choice
Heaven and hell are not that far apart, Each a disposition of the feint heart. We to the one or the other belong, Cause our deeds are cursed or filled with song. Truth and falsehood are together aligned, Each a deliberate penchant of the mind. The one the virtues of mankind to glorify, The other our...

The Spirit Of Christmas(@)
There was that day, Just past two thousand years ago. Civil order was everywhere; Yet men in bondage all over lay. There were gatherers of the taxed grain Those who exacted Caesar’s pain. Of unfamiliar visage Rome showed disdain; Woe to him who uttered a different refrain. Then came the Man of...

ONCE MORE!
This poem was posted when I just started writing on Blogit. I got scant response. Yet I like it so much, I am posting it once more. PERSONALITY Too oft we are so afraid, What tomorrow will bring; Too oft we retreat to the shade, Not let the sunlight in. Too oft we stay in the dark, Shut out the...

Why Worry?
Why worry about yesterday? It is forever gone. You cannot affect one iota The good or damage it has done. Why worry about tomorrow? It may never come. Why waste those precious moments Dreaming, getting nothing done. Today is in your grasp and power Go! get all you can done. Make each second...

This Is My Country
This is my country; it’s like no other Each one from yon can be my brother Arrive by land, by sea, by air Its freedoms, opportunities, treasures to share. You may be filthy rich or dirt poor Neither profile will deny you the door You may enter with nary a skill Improve your circumstance by dint of...

On Par With The Other
The rain rarely falls until the skies go dark, Many a flower has a thorn on its stalk. Good is not good for its own sake, Evil is beauty if its lessons we take. We gaze at the blue yonder with enviable awe, We abhor the thunder and lightening; so raw. Content to applaud the one; wish the other away,...

GILEAD'S BALM
The evening will come soon enough The shades of night will fall Day is done, gone the sun. The evening will come soon enough The future will be past The mill is run, the yarn is spun. The evening will come soon enough The embers will go cold The race is run, lost or won. The evening will come soon...

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
I had a dream night As I lay there unawares The gods who cheered me on I did not recognize The demons all astride. I had a dream last night The past lay by my side The good deeds I did recall Not much I could compute The future ominously stared.. I had a dream last night The lessons brazenly showed...

THE BELL TOLLS
In the distance not far away Distraught, disheveled, there he stood Cocksure there’ll be another day Forsook the offer that I could. Astride my horse which sped away Return and spurn him yet again Convinced there’ll never be my day Needing respite from fret, from pain Time is a catalyst without...
