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.

THE BLISS of STRIFE

This is the lottery of life, That a lot of men,  Tend not to see as an Omen, Full of bliss but only strife. We either get to long live, Or soon forced to leave. Be lucky to be born, Or remain a spirit borne. But no matter how you came to exist, There’s only one way to exit. Through the tunnel of death, Whether neat or with dirt. So just in case you are here, And you have some fruit to bear, Let us get to taste you in due time. Whether sweet or as sour as lime. Breathe in more air, But in your heart, do not err. Enjoy life as a sweet aroma to smell, But for your sake, let no one else yell. Anytime you are angry, Just assume you’re hungry. Seek the bread of life if you can. Because vain life is just an empty can.

FALLEN ANGELS

Most often than not,  Heroes do fade with their names unsung. But the shadows of their past, And the candles we light all night, Can at least serve as lyrics, To compose for their departed souls, A new song for us to be consoled. Patriots they’re now called, As dirty politics has now stalled. For once at most, We all agree to a toast, In solemnity and not at the bar, That this life is by far, An expedition with a divine illusion. Yes indeed they were; Heroes as we now call them. Not because it sounds like an anthem, But for the national emblem, They did responsibly revere. Was it the natural order? Is it because someone failed to bother? Was it their time? Are the questions we continue to mime. But will the answer save us a dime, As a nation in her own prime? Let the eight angels fly high, As families make a thirst quenching sigh, And create for them a legacy in perpetuity. For if we seek another opportunity, And let these men go forgotten, There shall be no more fallen angles from...
