The first didn’t know well…enough to know a future where a saviour’s angelic bell…will only be a laughable fantasy saleAnd a brush off fail…to shepherds who care not for their sheep’s wailEven as wolves lurk in devouring them one after the other IIJoy to the world should have been to the heavens…for it knew its […]
The first knew well They jingled their bells And brought joy to the world …by recognizing a birth II Now it’s all about …”What I want for Christmas” …”On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me” And the icing, …”So this is Christmas. What have you done?” Oh things have been […]
There is a beauty in seeing peacocks …living happily with fowls There is a beauty …in seeing winds …carry happy sands There is a beauty …in moons pairing suns …at the rise of one and the fall of the other There is a beauty, …a beauty of one sky being shared by both …at right […]
(Merry Christmas to all! Have the best of the season) We wake with will of a win Cling to the song of Christ’s birth Flinging all that carries burdens in a bin His birth signifies sin’s death Oh Hallelujah, the king is born! II We whistle with warmth wherever Knowing our lows will never flow […]
They imagine Christmas in snow When our feet greet the dust of harmattan As morning cold bites into skin II They imagine a pot-bellied-red-apparelled-man-myth With goodies for children In this drop of cold and heat Blackmailing children into submission for a short while Preparing them for rebellion after years of disappointments III They imagine a […]
A story told millions of zillions of times An occasion whose infectious smile Blesses the lips of all celebrants One baby cried for the jubilations of the heavens And the knowing on earth years and years back Still, Herod hated his herald of high hierarchy in heaven Hunting him in his zone II A celebration […]
When Christ was born Riches were myrrh, incense and gold Kings and farmers owned them most Poverty was hunger With no discrimination for food Times have traveled Elevating riches to much of infinity Upgrading poverty to little from none Let the scribes note II When Christ was born None sought gifts but him Fists owned […]
Sorrowful happiness Painless tears Heavenly gentleness Bloody cheers Like food doped in bitter sweetness Erasing hunger fears Innocent blood which earth tasted Were justified Christ Jesus set His foot On our messy paths To clean II The server Deserver The driver Turned us observers The clever Decided to save us Happy cheers A seer of […]
After knowing that Christ will be born What are your preparations You who have turned Sons Daughters Brothers Sisters Mothers Fathers Grandparents And still see baby Jesus as your saviour? II Like the three Shepherds Do you seek gifts For the young chap Or for your mere frame for fame Or to impress mirrors of […]
Youngsters are dreaming of Santa Their block of heavenly gifts in counter Elders are thinking of barter As delicious animals think of how discriminatory Jesus’ birth is So pray in chants For the slaughter of all machetes Just as saucepans pray For all fires to taste their heats So their bruised minds will quench themselves […]
I am shivering thinking of the fowls many will be slaughtering forgetting the children hunger will be slaughtering II I am crying thinking about boxing day of gifts and the many children pain will be boxing in a session of reminiscence where giving must reign III I am yearning for hearts which will open like […]
Amidst the chaos And the raucous God saw it good To lighten the hood So he formed an angelic human union II The chosen of chastity Was filled with charity And light lightened dark light With no man putting up a fight Of the outcome of the angelic union III There was no speciality Even […]
Sing until the bells of heaven ring Sing and let them ring in many springs Sing and let heaven all Satan’s flings Sing, for in happiness, the right thing to do is sing II Laugh until the sorrow of the earth drowns Laugh and let pain die of drought Laugh, for the heavens to be […]
