BLISS CURTAILED


Haps sung with strings and harps

Sometimes said with strings attached

Especially those of iconic mishaps

Wishes recited with rhymes detached

All in the name of what will people say

We woefully help make their day


Birthday rhythm of the morning

Sincere condolences for the night

As if to help in mourning

And to stick till you feel alright

Marital support with gifts on site

Naming ceremonies graced all in white

Forging unity with heart and might

But no one to say goodnight


Many troubles behind the sweet smiles

Some that go with us for many miles

Pains that can't be seen in eyes

Needs beyond individual ties

Sometimes it's lack of mere love

And the sense of humor we don't have


Our backs turned in pursuit of nothingness

Hoping to survive by curtailing kindness

A table is set with no dish

And meal served without fish

Then why proclaim the brotherhood fetish?


If only we would take a second look

Purport at will to read each other's look

Maybe we shall not just type the good wishes

Perhaps our words would warm hearts

Then the true intention of anniversary 

Would shift from budgets against salary.

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.

Till WE all WIN

Christmas is Here! And we Shall Soon be Drawing Near, To a Happy New Year. To men, there are Gifts giving.  To God, there's Thanksgiving.  And Believers will be busy Praying. But will this Spirit Live All Year? Here still lingers few fingers with tears and fear. Kids with dreams and hopes in qualms, Just seeking your kind arms. But what Hope do we Give, To those Bereaved, And the Less Advantaged. Help put Smiles on those Faces, Till their Teeth Reveal the Braces. Tighten their Shoes with Laces, Till We All Win in our Christian Races. MERRY CHRISTMAS from us.

NO MORE DISDAIN

May they all die, If they buy water from Dubai. This is not a curse, But the prayer of a nurse. Oo Ghana!  We all call you mama, But we despise your breast, Forgetting she once quenched our thirst. And now we encroach on the milky way, With strikes and campaigns all day, Thinking the galaxy is ours to slay, Not appreciating the sky where they stay. They've eaten and still ask for  dessert. So we turn our waters into Milo, And our forests into deserts, So they can quench their thirst. Exchanging oil with gold, Is how the stories are told. All lies,  Yes! lies with open eyes. They apply makeup to our faces, With brushes dipped in feces. At the ballot we see them, Yeah with catchy themes, Singing their famous anthem, And we make them our emblem. Should we join the train, Driven by those we kowtow, For half a loaf in our bowl? Are we worthy of disdain? Are we short sighted as they claim? No we won't!  Yes you shouldn't! Let them not take you for a ride, At least for once...
