HUMANITY IS DOWN THE DRAIN

It's all an exchange world

all ask for a share of the big bite.

A scrupulous world

seeks to rise above the others

The world is racing to a finish line

killing,

fighting,

cheating,

where is humanity gone

down the drain

all in vain

so much pain,

just loss

no gain.

MERMAID AT SEA

Across the ocean many miles at sea,

a mermaid he saw that day

he steered his boat

to catch sight of her,

but deep into the ocean

she just disappear's

whole night he sat

in his boat as the waves

crashed against the hull

waiting to see her

tired he fell asleep

at the break of dawn

a big splash rocks his boat

and he is woken from his sleep

he rises -

to find the mermaid inside his boat

he is motionless,

he is mesmerized by her

is that a dream

or is it for real?

mermaid at sea.

NATURAL DISASTER

Water logged every city, every town,

houses drowned

animals dead,

people missing

all in flood,

a natural disaster

that none can control.

People worked so hard

saved a lot

built big houses,

bought lands,

bought farms and fields,

now all beneath the water

logged cities.

People forgot to pray to God,

people forgot to thank the Lord

for their daily blessings

that they got,

now all gone

no one to blame

pray

and thank the Lord

as you are still alive

for that help to you

is sent by the Lord.
