Justification

Justification

When I was a child, I made up excuses,
whenever I knew I was wrong;
feelings of guilt; my peace, reduces;
my conscience wouldn’t go along.

Truth required, that I must accept blame;
for, my guilt was ever before me;
justice always comes, in the Master’s name;

Not Born A Rose

Not Born A Rose

A chrysanthemum wasn’t born a rose;
a meadow or stream; not meant a sea;
fingers, not designed to be your toes;
these are things, as were planned to be.

A man’s not a bird; capable of flight;
nor, can he remain submerged too long;

Where Will I Be ?

Where Will I Be ?

Where will I be; ten years hence;
will I still live in this place;

Divide, To Conquer

Divide, To  Conquer

Few armies ever defeat, a nation united;

for no other feature, will do.

We could stare at the hands and feet;
