Your Superman

I saw you lost
In the Whirl wind
Of finding Him
You have been tossed
Like football
By players outside the pitch
So like a dedicated fan
I wore an ‘S’
On my Chest
Being ready to be that Superman
To fight the raving wind
To take any extra risk
Just to give you what you need
You deserve ‘Him’
Me!

True Realities

The birds spread their wings
and close it almost simultaneously
as they sail with the wind
the dogs bark violently
to proclaim their territory
the horse throws its fist

and makes a picture of a muscular man modeling
the spider monkeys do superb acrobatics
but had never been a gymnastic medalist
the Lion roars
the Cock crows
but the Frog croaks
even the goat is foolish but does not know
and the Lizard nods as if it understands everything that goes
knowing these, Humans go on with their daily activities
forgetting God's love and His blessings
His hate for sin and judgement
and mostly His daily requirements

when age and responsibility unrests
he eats every parental advice and digest
and wonders what it really takes attain the best

Taking time to weigh his mentor
with love but discrimination
he ask himself silent questions
that puts him in the right track and condition
