All that liveth shall cease to exist
All that newest shall growst old
All that futures, shall cometh to pasts
All that reapeth, long ago has been sowed
All that glories shall become stories
All that troubles, shall cease to be worries
All moments liveth shall be memories
All that we do, maketh us and nobody else

Mathematicians say, ZERO has no value
For ZERO and TWO is TWO
But TWO and ZERO is TWENTY
The value of ZERO makes TWO plenty
Thus, their opinions about ZERO is not true

Mathematicians say, you ADD to increase figures
But FOUR plus ZERO equals FOUR not FOURS
Life adds each new day to everyday
Yet, noone knows the result of the next day
Noone knows what future holds for us

Mathematicians say, you SUBTRACT to know your age
But noone knows his/her death age
Perhaps, subtract death from life, moon from sun
Each year, we subtract ONE and also plus ONE
Each year, heaven subtract your roles from life's stage

Mathematicians say, study your MULTIPLICATION TABLE
But in life, some couples have not been able
To multiply but look up to God for miracles
The multiplication tables we were taught in schools
Work for few conditions but not stable

Mathematicians say, DIVIDE both sides by coefficient of 'Y'
To get the result and know the actual value of'Y'
But'WHY' are some people tall while some are short?
When it is sunny,'WHY' is the weather always hot?
Some people are rich while some people are poor,'WHY??????'

Check the holy books you preached  many
And swear you haven't breached any

Cogitate the words spilled from your tongue
If truly they could manifest for lifelong

Feel the air you inhale,If truly you merit breathing
Look into the mirror,If sincerely you deserve seeing

Walk in the darkness to find your way
If your pious heart lead not the helpless astray

Pray death never meet your deadly deeds
For the innocents will reap your soiled seeds

Anticipate the leader of the dead bands
Inhumed in the open caskets with your hands

Footprints shall reveal the paths legs treaded
Time shall tell when death killed the dead

Heavenly downpour is here
To wash away every fear,
Cleanse the impure souls
And actualize unachievable goals

Heavenly downpour is here
To make the leaves and flowers
Bloom by her superpowers;
The birds dance happily and stare

Heavenly downpour is here
To carry the burdens we couldn't bear;
Enthrone the gloomy slaves
And enliven corpses in the graves

Heavenly downpour is here
To drown faithless failures and sins
And celebrate the lasting wins
To prove that she truly care

Heavenly downpour is here
To announce another harvest year;
Farmers till and toil the land,
Hoping for bountiful harvest as planned

The cloud cackles and tickles
As she sent down her blessings
To the deserted earth in trickles
Touching the trees by caressings

Children play hide and seek
Both the strong and the weak;
The pitapats of hails on the roofs
Invigorate homes to sing and hoofs

Couples savour the blissful breeze,
The scented moment drew their lips
As their hearts and mouths freeze,
Holding hands and waists in grips

I watch the stars everynight
I love their beautiful sight
They shine so brightly in the sky
As I marvelled their numbers in the sky
So tiny,yet full of might
And an alluring sight
I tried to count them oneday
And thought there is no way
For the sky has no end
And could neither be touched nor bend
They all appear so little and new
For the only stars I knew
Were situated in the sky
They sat nicely up high
I moved from place to place
Looking at them on the face

The crow of the ****
Declared the beautiful day
And christmas made way
Written through the air like Brighton rock

People got up early from bed
And their hearts filled with joys
Both girls and boys
All in white and red

I could feel the sensations
Of christmas in the air
And the music pleasant to the ear
With jubilations and celebrations

I could see christmas in people's outfits
The christmas sent a ripple
Of excitement through the people
With best shoes on their feets

I could see everywhere
Chickens dancing in the hot oil
While some were swimming to boil
And flies humming everywhere

The hearts spread love on christmas
Gifts were exchanged with one faith
To share happiness and celebrate
Wishing themselves "A happy christmas

How could I show the blind how beautiful the world is?
How could I express to the deaf how melodious a song is?
How could I show the world the scars in my heart?
