I AM NOT A PROPHET

I am not a prophet, but only speaking my mind

If we keep on compromising our pride, the world will be devastated

I have seen children neglected and suffering

Sisters rapped, mothers shedding tears, brothers on the field dying

The church no longer a sanctuary, but an unholy refuge

Pastors and priests, hypocrites in converge

The corrupted run to her but are pardoned

The innocent seeks her aid but are rejected

Man walks among the earth with no mind and soul

Lust and greed, the heart and mind made whole

Fate held on every hand as man lost his faith in God

Conscience deteriorating everyday away from the will of God

IN SEARCH FOR A LEADER

In search for a leader that understands how the people feel

A leader with integrity, whose heart is pure as the stream

A leader that is steadfast and corruption free

A leader whose mind is calm and understands free will

A leader willing to go extra mile

A leader whose ambition is not dead but alive

A leader that can provide shelter when the storm comes

A leader who appreciate the people living a peaceful life

A leader without a reason to sell his birthright

A leader who accepts fault when his decisions are not right

A leader who sit amidst the people, bear their grievance and pain

A leader seeking for service, a selfless service to humanity without gain

A POEM FOR MAMA

Oh mama, what will I do without you?

How far would I have gone, if not for you?

You taught me how to walk and crawl

You taught me to stand up tall when I fall

You taught me there is no shame in failure

Every man need have something to fight for

You are the brightest of all the stars

You groomed me into a man under your wings

Fortunes and luxuries can’t match the sacrifices

The love, affection, care, support and tears

Through difficult times, you bleed for me

Thousands of miles, your words abide still with me

You taught me I could change the world

You believed in me, despite i was just a little boy 

I would never lose a smile, if the world falls

You are made in heaven, the day the sun calls
