PRAYER OF A BARREN WOMAN
The God that gives fruit of the womb
Sarah beckoned on you for an issue
You hearkened from third heaven
Isaac was the reward.
Hearken unto my cry
Give me just one, only one.
The God that gives fruit of the womb
Hannah anchored her hope on you
Didn’t You glorify her?
I am trusting in you alone
Heed to my supplications
Give me just one, only one.
The God that gives fruit of the womb
Rebecca cried unto you for a child
And you blessed her with two nations
It is my turn to receive blessings
Surprise me now, that earth may rejoice,
Give me just one, only one.
LAND DISPUTE
The creator of land
Gave it man to dwell in peace
Urged man to posses all therein
Man ignored the great benefit
And keeps struggling for ownership
The creator of land
Gave it man to walk and work on
Man was to protect it from all dangers.
But he ignored this great task
And keeps struggling for ownership
The creator of land
Gave it man to till and plant
He promised man bountiful tubers
Man ignored this promise
And keeps struggling for ownership
The creator of land
Will one day take back his property
Man will be taken out of the land
To be buried into the land
There, he would join his ancestors
Who too went without their lands
Then all his struggles would be vanity.
ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL
One the way to school
Some are coming
Some are going
With different missions in mind.
On the way to school
Some go to learn
Some go to play
But indelible shame go to impostors.
On the way to school
Some are there for a purpose
Some are there because others are there
But individual differences should be noted
On the way to school
The good and the bad in exodus
All must go to school
But the end will separate the chaff from grain
On the way to school
Some are tattered
Some are neat
But cleanliness is not a parameter
On the way to school
Some are morally sound
Some are morally bankrupt
But parental guidance leaves a deep scare.
