Ethan Titus Nov 2014
Fallen from grace, that is the current state of man
Held down by the shackles of sin to the prison of death
Seeming destined for a sentence of eternal damnation
Yet it was seen fit by You, oh righteous one, to break our shackles and tear the prison asunder by the means of a man
Setting before the rest of us a path that we can follow
Had you not sent us a man, we would have made the decision of extreme rationale, that a higher being could not be immitated and we would have made peace with our eternal cells
Yet it was a man You sent, in Your infinite wisdom, for You are righteous
Deliver me, oh redeemer, deliver me from the confines of death
Annoint my head with Your oil so that my cup runneth over
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Almighty One
Lead me to Your treasure chest
For it is a bountiful one
Filled to brimming with Your knowledge, Your understanding, Your wisdom, and Your grace; Your mercy and lovingkindness
Give me not the key, but withhold nothing that Your servant asks of You in faith
When I seek, I find.
When I ask, I am given.
When I knock, the door is opened.
Deny me my own ways and instruct me in Yours
Break my heart of stone and give me one of flesh
Redeem me
Flynn Nov 2015
Your hair flows gracefully in the moonlit breeze
A touch so tender it brings me to my knees
A whit much sharper then the finest blades
You are to complex, you can't be immitated
Without you I am restless
Your kisses never fail to leave me breathless
Your beautiful face tells me no lies
With time, you've opened my eyes
Whilst waiting for my vision to clear,
You've shown me there is nothing to fear
You've led me through a door
Now with you, life I will explore
You will forever be my prize
Even after my demise
tainted black Dec 2018
sooted
candelarias
greeted  my Christmas morn
along with the flakes of snow that freely falls---

the ground shivered with me as I
touched your hand
that is as cold
as the asphalt covered
with white that somehow
immitated your lips
so pale 'tis

daffodils replaced the poinsettias
mourners replaced the gifts
tears replaced the smiles
still, we hope you're happy where ever you are
This happened two years back and it  still breaks my heart.

Name remembered
Face recognized
Act Immitated
Fact Ignored

Entry for education
Deer in a birds Nest
Education opens doors
Institutions closes them

Knowledge imbibed
Growth and Maturity attained
Rest of life
Act as Security

Diverse Subjects Curriculum
Analytical Ability
Must for higher study
Lack of it
Remains a liability

Memorise pages
By the Hundreds
Different subjects
Not connected
To each other
Memory lacking
Future lagging

Exams or Tests
End of your Wits
Valued on Written
Excuses none taken

Prejudice of teacher
Grades gotten lower
Reputation at Stake
Tomorrow Vague

Salt to injury
Marked and Valued
Skill to Study
Graded according to Grade
Already decided your Fate

Einstein said famously
Dont ask a fish to climb a tree
Cool as a WhatsApp forwards
Quotes meant for Cowards

Percentage and Percentile
Dont make it past the cut
Branded Imbecile
Worthiness and Estimation
All depends on an Examination

Purpose of seeking
Worthy for every being
Bring in Grading
Destroy life and its meaning

Order of Merit
Brings Credit to names
Who appear
In the Order of Merit

Discrimination on Color
Race Caste
Non Bailable Act of Crimes
Discrimination on Grasp Memory Analytical Ability
Practiced even in Todays Times

Scarred at infancy
Not in the list of Merit
Brings along discredit
Follows like Shadow
Always questions
What brings in the MorrowRate this poem:(0.00 / 0 votes)
