POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
ARE PEOPLE EQUAL?
ARE PEOPLE EQUAL?
Where are the people who see life
is full of charm that's crime to waste?
There is something hidden somewhere
that makes a person satisfied.
But where is that most obscure gem
and how can we advance to it?
So few can know. It's well concealed,
but it will cheer who finds that wealth..
The jewel's your effect on men,
and making them so pleased with selves.
Look for this target that quite few
can find and practise on mankind.
A lot of people are...

THEY AREN'T INFERIOR.
THEY AREN'T INFERIOR.
The days that passed attract our sighs.
They bring some tears that fill our eyes.
The folk who lived in those past days
were great at what they used to say.
They were so perfect in their deeds,
so full of wisdom and of wit.
They were so kind and full of might
and able to create that past.
We speak for long about their acts
as we have missed their lovely sight.
We don't compare with open mind
them with those who are living now.
Why don't we look at who are near
and see their goodness...

BEWARE WHAT YOU CHOOSE!
BEWARE WHAT YOU CHOOSE!
Change the danger into welfare,
where what's sin will get a virtue
as the face of Christ will tell you
when you start to see His brilliance.
Sin can spread the views of horror
in your heart and tint its darkness,
where the night can hide the devils
who can cause you lots of despair.
When you seek what's dark and gloomy,
Satans give all what can darken.
But you turn your darkened vision,
and life's stars will start to twinkle.
Then, you see...

THUS HOW I'M ASKED TO PRAY.
THUS HOW I'M ASKED TO PRAY.
You want to pray, go in your room
and close your door to be with Whom
your mind and heart trust and adore
and you both love to sit alone.
You get so glad as you can feel
your heart will be with that great Lord,
Who's made all people dear to Him
and He exists in every soul.
You speak with Him, which is your bliss
as what He says is complete charm.
His calming words give you great cheer
that makes you live your care free life.
Your prayer gets your mighty wings ...

THE MAN YOU'LL CERTAINLY LOVE
THE MAN YOU'LL CERTAINLY LOVE
I see in Christ a man so kind
and on the cross a thief observed,
"We've done a lot of shameful acts;
that man has none that calls for shame."
One of the thieves in despair said,
"If you're the Christ, why don't You save
Yourself and us from this harsh fate."
That's what a normal man would want.
Christ did not ask the Lord for help
to kill all those who caused Him pain.
If He'd been someone else, He would
have asked to kill those heartless foes.

SACRIFICE AND SYMPATHY
SACRIFICE AND SYMPATHY
He was the Man who gained the souls
in every aspect of His life.
His foes were bigots and they wished
to kill Him and to please their God.
When Christ revived the dead, all felt
their greatest grief was changed to glee,
and people would attach to Him;
He should be killed with those who raised.
He did not fear what would occur
and cured the blind an raised the dead.
He loved to dry the tears and cool
the burning hearts that needed rest.
He knew the cross would wait for Him.
He kissed...

ONE WORD OF TRUE DESIRE
ONE WORD OF TRUE DESIRE
On His right, the thief was hopeless,
but his faith in Christ was perfect.
He was stunned when earthquakes happened
and the clouds poured down their buckets.
He repented his corruption,
and he said, "My Lord forgive me
and accept me in Your heaven.
You're the Lord, Whom l believe in."
Jesus said, "You'll have your comfort
in the upper land of calmness.
Passion showed your good behaviour.
Your desire cleans your evil."

REAL STRENGTH IS LENIENT.
REAL STRENGTH IS LENIENT.
Strength, you are a sublime feeling
that surprises thoughtful.people.
When a person is so brawny,
he will have the kindest nature.
Power makes a giant pity
weakest creatures and forgive them.
He will cry despite his power
as revenge for him is painful.
Nothing makes the strongest heroes
surrender except their passion.
They will fear their severe sorrow
will endow them lots of torment.
When the hit is truly hurting,

WORK IS THE FATHER OF JOY.
WORK IS THE FATHER OF JOY.
What gives the cheerfulness of heart
except you, work, that my strength dare,
on that most thoughtful and dear verse
that could steal all my greatest care.
I started writing day and night,
but none of value could appear,
yet l was certain that my work
would give results my heart would cheer.
My labour was not gauged by wealth
but by expecting a surprise.
It was too late, but l was sure
that something would abruptly rise.
No jewels would confer a sign
but work would...

ONLY THERE?
ONLY THERE?
Where are those people whom l love,
who made my life so full of joy?
I looked for them in their past sites
but could not find them sitting there.
They were so kind to us as kids
and gave us then what could us please.
Despite all that they were so cruel
when they departed leaving all.
I loved to sit with their dear friends
to hear the stories that could well
the tears that made me feel ashamed
but pleased my heart that urged for more.
I asked those friends where l could look
to have reminders of...

CAN DIRT REPLACE PURITY?
CAN DIRT REPLACE PURITY?
Man is moving from the spirit
to the body and its pleasure.
He is facing lots of changes
from emotions to what's dirty.
Love is used in lots of stories;
man admires all their features.
He adores those faithful figures
that remain honest forever.
He esteems who have composed them
saying how decent and happy
they are to indite such dramas
which are now the charm for readers.
How can dirt be brave and and mighty
to involve itsef in rapture
changing what was high and honest ...

THE COY LITTLE GIRL
THE COY LITTLE GIRL
Come to me my little beauty;
coyness has increased my passion
for the gifts that God would endow
to those who are puerile hearted.
It is found in little children
and those who are saintly chosen
who are pleased with all their actions
as their land is turned to heaven.
Little child, you bring back to me
early time that was so precious
when ambition was for chocolate
and the tender kiss of mother.
This is how the Lord creates us,
pure and white so full of calmness.
Why do we neglect...
