Yourself... And A Belief
Affirm in yourself... in the strength you have
The mind and the physical power you have
To command your own world, each day
Understand in the strength that you have deep inside,
And your faith will help you show the way.
Learn what you have from yesterday
Believe in what tomorrow will bring
Follow a patient beating heart carry you through
Everything will work out for best if you trust and believe
And there is no limit to what you can do...
With God's grace and blessings
And true faith that will make you more successful

Mother
We've been together since my birth
Never a moment that I miss you in my sight
Your voice is my comfort
Your touch is my security
You are my mentor, my inspiration
You are the light that beacons our home
A very strong but gentle woman
A woman for everything in the family
But times passes by so quickly
Part our ways to have my own
Priorities now got its way
With changing needs and wants
That own country so corrupt cannot give
We bid goodbye part our ways
Toiling in a far away land of milk and honey
Then one day my fear becomes a reality

Law Of The Beasts
The day has arrived when arrogance and greed will stand
Testing their might, force and power to bully a weak one
Attacking without warning killing all kinds of human on their way
Civilians, men, women, old, young and children, animals and all
No mercy now except thinking they are right and have the right to kill
Marauding each village, looting and killing indiscriminately
Their reason, kill before they kill us no mercy just kill and think later
Modern Barbarians on the loose no heed for the Lion’s laws
Warning from the Supreme Body is not followed or was discarded
Thinking they are the Bears that will be feared even by the Eagles
Weak nation no match for their tanks as much as your eyes can see
The leader Sheep as a wimp asking help from strong but with no response
For a help will detonate the powder keg and Armageddon will start
Survival of the fittest and testing might to the ultimate will soon ensue
Leaders of Bears for destruction so proud of their might laughing and feeling great
Getting what they want to be untouchables in the arena of war and destruction

For Tomorrow Is Gone
You walk with your steady gait
Along the aisles of right and wrong
Unmindful what life will brings
On this old world full of lies
No heed of any warnings for danger
That lies ahead the road of death
Life seems good but sadly it is not
For human life is not that important for now
A piece of money will mean your death
From a vicious foe who worship wealth
You fight but no use against a corrupt and evil
Instead you’re a dead meat and no match
Bring it to the court and surely you’ll lose
For justice will be served by a good price
Those in robes will surely decide best
With the shining gold they will get blind

Christmas, Is It? ? ?
Those fruits, nuts, and other foods for the holiday
Symbols of hypocrisy, showiness of false affluence
A display of false belief for a new year’s abundance
A charade of false pretenses disguising generosity
Why bother? For all those mess when you can do…
…the true Christian and the true essence of Christmas
Christmas is not what you have to show you got
But to share willingly to those materially challenge
Oh Christmas! it comes and go in many fashions
In many ways, interpretations and realizations
But lo! Its real essence have been neglected
What is it then? Well Christmas is for you
It is for you alone and to find its real meaning
Relative as it maybe but try to look around you
Hear that voice talking to you telling you its essence
Christmas sometimes so quaint and outmoded
