What He Gives He Can Take

Son,take care not to pride in worldly things

It is Him who gives and Him takes boldly

Daughter,do not boast of beautiful endings

He can take everything you treated fondly


When others struggle don't call them stupid

 He who gave you saw it fit to deny them

When they do well you at once become livid 

When they beg you spit at 'em with phlegm


That beauty withers like spring rose flowers

The shape too is temporal ask your granny

Remember to thank the one who  bestows

Even when you are winning the grammy


The adorable family you have belongs to him

Like a rented thing,the owner can claim it

Like a tenant you cant cling to  it or whim

For what He Gives, He can take believe it 


Son,be humble for humility is priceless

Daughter,be grateful for it costs less

Shun those who are proud and loud

Keep my wise words and read them aloud

The Street Walker's Burial

She was a beautiful lady in her hay days Men of all walks of life drooled for her face All drank from her well and gave little pays Till her body could not take in more abuse With a stripped gown in the ward she laid Frail lonely and bones protruding as shade She fearfully saw her beauty and figure fade At last her life flew and her nice eyes greyed Her light weight became too huge to ferry  Her casket was a boulder of a rock to carry It carried many souls which she would bury And in her well many men had made merry Mourners sat silently following the sermon The pastor bombarded sin like a war cannon Sweating as he did on top of her in Oregon  When her hips smoothly moved in gyration The soldier too remembered that cold night When drunk he staggered and held her sight From her well he fetched with all his might Now he too among others dust he would bite Even the big politician was her customer too In the dark night he'd see and call her my boo He would then give her a thousand...

I SHOT THE SHERIFF

 It was i who shot the sheriff Now they claim that i am guilty They are tracking me down Led by the police deputy He was an ugly and fat baboon With money and a Toyota Saloon Five stars on his uniform-a marshal To shoot he needed not a rehearsal Mine beautiful wife he long coveted  Money and car had he and i not Every week flowers he brought While sweat i broke building the road All this while i knew but so what  A man with no money is like a man With a broken hand; no use they got He provided both on the plate and the bed On that fateful day i said enough is enough With my month's salary a gun i purchased, Headed home and waited in the trough. Toyota Saloon came and under a tree parked Ten minutes later giggles turned to moans My wife was in pain but she seemed to enjoy The scene i beheld until now still pains That betrayal i would  no longer buy My Ak-47 firmly in hand i held: one eye  On the target the other closed for range The trigger with the index finger ...

Son of My Mother

 Nothing prepared me for the pain  Of your untimely journey from plain The memories beat me like strong rain I long to see you son of my mother again  I will be well;you had promised before the Fateful day. I recall the flicker of hope in the Eyes which like clouds hid every pain  the  Son of my mother was going through. Retelling your story was a painful ordeal  Streams of hot liquid flowed a great deal Our young innocent images play like reel  I long to see you son of my mother for real Now you sleep covered  deep in the ground  Tonnes of earth providing warmth unbound Even in your slumber i am still very proud Of the person you had become when around Your son constantly nags me to call you  Little does he know you started anew In to the shining blue  skies you flew After the big trumpet the angels blew.
