YOU AND I

YOU AND I.

There is a difference between you and me.

A difference clear for all to see.

I am me and you are you

And everybody can see that too

.

You and I are different in many ways

In what we do and what we say

What we feel and what we believe

And what we live to achieve.

The difference is very simple.

You and I are two different people.

You take your decisions and i make my choices.

And we both have different voices.

I lead my life and you live yours.

And that indeed distinguishes us.

Whatever I do affects only me

so leave me, let me be.

books make us grow

 

what do you think makes us grow?
tell me please, I would like to know

is it the food that we eat
or its the air that we breath

maybe its those weights that we lift
or its just nature's gift

oh! its the proteins and vitamins
and kinins  and thyroxins

MY BIRTHDAY WISH

My BiRtHdAy WiSh.

By Clemency; the masterpiece



On our special day

we all have something to say.

Something to wish for

Something we never had before.

A younger me would have wanted a toy.

But the older me gladly wishes you joy.


‘Cos you make life worth living,

with the love and care you have given.

You ll b watered as u water.

How it drops, it doesn’t matter.



May God cause to shine on u his face.

May he secure u in his warm embrace.

Today, as u wish me Happy Birthday,

i wish everything good to come your way.

THE CORONATION

A crown of thorns
‘pon his head
A regal robe
all smeared in red
An inscription above
his head that read
“Behold the king…”
and tears were shed
A spear in his side
from which he bled
water and blood
and then he said
“It is finished”
And he was dead¿

On the third day
the stone was rolled away
and the king arose
in the most glorious way

CONSCIENCE



That little voice

inside of me

that guides my choice

that straights my way

when i go astray

and purges my soul

when i commit a sin.

That little voice

that censors our deeds

is inside every of us

hear that voice

and take heed!



But this little voice
does it die?
it doesn’t and don’t ask why

But i wonder
those who watch
as others’ lives burn
i wonder if to them
this voice is gone.

Those who take pride
in oppressing d weak
does this voice in them hide
or does it speak.

To those whose souls are broken
what has this voice spoken?

And to those who break souls
i wonder
what this voice says to them?
do they ponder?
