I went to see God today

I went to see God today
But He was not in, to my dismay
Instead, I heard the pastor's preachings
he told us to give them more money for blessings
Is this what it has become, a business?
You give me money, i make sure you get blessed.
I was sad and angry,
I tried to talk to the man beside me,
But his eyes were closed and he was speaking gibberish
What are you doing man, i asked in English
I am speaking in tongues, he told me
Why are you doing that, i asked him clearly
He looked miffed and turned away
It's a gift from God, i heard him say
But what good is a gift if it cannot help others?
I would rather God give me something to aid my brothers.
Soon, it was time for me to go
I asked myself if I had anything to show
I now knew why God was not in today
Like me, he did not feel loved anyway.

A conversation with God

So I was talking to God the other day
And i asked Him, Are you for real as they say
God was rather miffed and replied dryly
Look around and what can you see?
It was me who created the heavens and Earth
The trees and flowers which spring forth
Only I could have coded the human genome
And populated the forest biomes
Who else could have done all these wonders
But me, God, his voice like thunder
But God, why is there still suffering in this world
Can't you just appear and transform the world?
Alas, my son, God replied, it is not for me to do that
For i created miracles and wonders as a matter of fact
But Man has introduced evil and corruption of the highest degree
And for this sin alone, he must undergo till at last, he meets me.

The Naughty Boy

Beware of the Naughty boy, I was told
He is both cheeky and bold
He will always try to undermine you
Sometimes he will even anger you
So I strengthened my resolve
Surely this was a problem only I could solve
I befriended him and told him of my expectations
I listened to his problems and tales of his limitations
There were times when he displayed some defiance
but I always remembered to give him a second chance
He began to listen to me, to respect me
The changes in him were plain for all to see
We laughed together and bonded over soccer games
The others were shocked, for he was never the same
They asked me, how did you do it, Did you do it yourself
I told them it was easy, once I was a naughty boy myself

The Old Man

The Old Man shuffled into the office
He just wanted to be left in peace
But the people did not let him be
They ridiculed him with much glee
They called him a Dinosaur and an old horse
They mocked him as a spent force
The Old Man was dejected
And disappointed
He just wanted to be a good leader
He wanted to rule with love, not fear
He shook his head sadly
And started typing his resignation letter quietly.

The woman I love

The woman I love with all my heart
Is beautiful, caring, kind and smart
She smells just like the dew in the morning
She makes me have an earnest longing
To cuddle up in her warm bosom
Gaze at her eyes, like flowers which have blossomed
She loves me just as much as i do
Of this i know is most certainly true
I would walk with her hand in hand
Through high mountains and faraway lands
Surely she must be a gift from up above
It is her, the woman I love

Bliss

The night was silent and damp
The last bus was whirring in the distance
The lights were switched off
And almost everyone was asleep
Almost
Because i was awake
Too many thoughts
swimming in the ocean of my mind
I glanced at the soft breathing
of the cherub
and i reminded myself that
There will always be another day
