WIZARD OF UZ




Uz was his city
Pious to his deity,
Precious was this imagery:
His fear for his God could make you bore.
A nature he never saw
Yet held unto so hard.
What faith he might have had,
I feel he was bad.
But it’s blissful knowing he was a good WIZARD:
Described in the Bible to cause no hazard.
A wealthy man with poetic wisdom waiting wonders in a wild world.
Bathed in sarcastic sores, soaked in somatic smell.
Just like a wizard had met the wrath of God.
In fact, he was a wizard of Faith.
Sacrificing always to his Lord,
He never killed with a sword;
His numerous servants gave their lives for free,
He only needed to make a plea.
Thus- blameless, Bountiful and plentiful
So uprightly shunning evil
This pissed the devil.
And so hissed betrayal to his god.
He lost everything but one dear God                            
Couldn't he have cursed his creator,
To divorce his wife was what he opted for.
Friends couldn't understand him,
The gods must be crazy it seemed.
But the good wizard never lost entirely.
He regained it all in multiplicity till eternity.
In fact he was rich but had no job
But the bible called him Job............




Just remember that no matter how painful the situation may be now, God will raise you and your plight will be your foundation.
When enemies throw stones at you, never throw back the stones. Rather, step on each stone that falls at you feet and soon you will be on a higher ground.

RFFS PRAYER

Anytime I'm called for duty... Wherever deployment takes me, Pervert from my path, any mutiny... But give me the strength to be; The rescuer, the protector and the fire fighter. Whenever I'm gone for stand by... Lord, grant me a listening watch.  All incursions, hazards and risks, May I with my crew identify... Where unavoidable, enable us to mitigate.. Be it in the terminal, tarmac or boarding gate.. Should there ever be an emergency, Wherever fire may rage.. Should there be any shout, No matter the skin or age.. Help me put the fire out, And my neighbor, help me save. And if by your will... Any blood may spill... Leading to any fatality, Protect my wife and kids, And preserve the rest of my crew.

MAY DAY, HER DAY

The kitchen was theirs in the days of old, They were the housewives, so I'm told. So shall the real woman wake, Early from bed and for her family bake, The bread of life. Such was the routine of a good wife. What at all is house chores? A mere sweeping and cleaning course, Yet we're expected to praise them aloud, And pamper them like a manner from the cloud. If this mind of societal stereotype, Keep flowing freely like a leaking pipe, In an era of this economic hype. Shall our women be healthy alive, Even if indeed they do survive? A career woman she's now called, Aid to man when his pocket stalled, Beautifully dressed to work, Yet at home we fail to praise her worth. This is poetry for May day, A caution for men to make hay. As she helps financially at home, Assist her to tidy up the dome. Now she's green and stands tall, But green leaves too do fall.  After all this grass has dried up, What else will dare to spring up?

BLIND DATE

Pre-Social media world had better means for us to make friends.  We needed no data like in modern trends.  Friend requests weren't necessary to send. There was an easier way the world did blend. Those times, little money did we spend. Even when you did not have, someone could lend.  However, to get a date was not as tiresome.  All you needed was life....... Isn't that awesome?  She would ask for your commitment after she had given you her all. She would forgive you even after all,  But for guilt, your heart wouldn't stop beeping. These days you need courage, money, good looks and fame without any debate. All these just to get someone to date else thou shalt be too late.  This particular lady came to me even when I was not ready.  Accepting me, knowing that I did not deserve to propose.  I tried to hide but Grace found me.  In fact, her approach I couldn't oppose and as promised, she has been with me ever since.  Forgiving my sin...
