Walking Out

Our kids are crying for father,But turn about you don’t bother.You’re now a different man,To understand you, I will if I can.Something changed in you;Where’s the man I once knew?By your action, I’m saddened,Please tell me what happened!You were alway...

Vitality

Ben’s already eighty,Still has the vitality.Is also active in sports,A potent force in the courts. He maintains a fast pace,Doesn’t like to laze.To keep up, people find it tough,When the going is rough. Minimum is his food intake,Yet, the strong bone...

Loveless

Looking into the mirror,I’m a picture of horror.Old and wrinkly,By the hour, getting cranky. Yesterday was my ninetiethUnrewarding year on Earth.Wasn’t looking forward to it,Had nothing special to eat. Though I’ve six children,Now that it’s their tur...

Materialism

A girl’s going down the street,In one of the factory uniforms.She’s part of the new breed,Who wears chunky platforms.She’s perpetually chewing gum,Grazing goods in retail outlets.Joined by an old school chum,Dreaming to be starlets.Both are fashion c...

Quarrel

The dawn has not arrived,Louder your screams get.An old argument is revived,Your cussing sounds bad. Oh, parents of mine,Before it’s too late,Please draw the line,Between love and hate. Won’t do any good,To your kids, specifically,Being in this dark...

Vain

It’s my bane,That you’re so vain.Unexpected for a man,Who has only me as a fan.Been a couple for ages,But towards the last stages,Haven’t gone out much,After you’ve turned into such.Already in our seventies,No more invitations to parties,Since we alw...

Soul Mate

I swear to God aboveMy loyalty won’t diminish.You’re just the one I love,And sincerely cherish.When our paths crossed,I was stricken by lightning.Into the air, was tossed,It was my life’s beginning.Since our first date,I’m on cloud nine,Have found my...

Amnesia

Feeling bored,Sitting in the loo,I’m left to rot,With nothing to do. Drained of energy,No interest in anything.Have to get out of this lethargy,But I just can’t think. I’ve memory block,These couple of years.The ticking of my biological clock,Evokes...

Jailbird

Committed a crime,And suffered for it.Only still in my prime,But already look beat. Totally ignorant,At the age of thirty.Soon, I was burnt,Had to pay the penalty. Served my sentence,Just released from prison.Now, full of repentance,Trying to be a ni...

In Coma

You lie on this bed,Neither dead nor alive.Whatever the doctors said,You’ll come back to life. By your side I stay,Providing support and care,Twenty-four hours a day ---Leave you awhile, don’t dare. Down on my knees,To God I pray nightly.I’m willing...
