The One That Flew (Flu) Away.

Last night, Mr.death knocked at my door It must have been wee hours of the morning, about three or four I presume, like any other unwanted, uncalled for visitor Mr.Death would ring the doorbell, but not this predator I expected He would be civil and decent He dispelled all these doubts, in my encounter recent He made His presence felt Had me on my knees, bent Was i in the final prayers to the Lord? Or pleading to this unforgiving, marauding sod? Trust me, i saw blood and gore It was for real, not a folklore He had me tremble to my core The pricks and needles had me sore and more The calls went back and forth Made to and from colleagues, south and north The lab results started trickling in A negative test, making such a positive din The life on a knife's edge, hanging by a thread Blood around, not the only reason i saw red The wait for what never arrived made every moment Create hurt and pain, leave a scar and a dent? The nightmare lasted the whole night Uncertain tryst with fate,a promising life about to blight Then the birds chirped and demanded their pound of flesh The nascent breeze crisp, cool and fresh The sun making His presence afresh The head suddenly at peace, what was a mess And the heart free from the negative mesh So, folks the night before,dead or alive, i had no clue But the fear has stuck like a glue The arm now black and blue Small mercy, it did not turn out to be the damn flu.

I Am Scared...........

Ma
You told me only the truth be thine
You said with truth i shall forever be fine
I trusted you, i soon fell in line
With simple truths i was on cloud nine

Ma
You told me the end of the ox is beef
The end of the lie is grief
Live by the truth
Die by the truth

Ma
Now i 'll tell you

I spoke truth, only the truth
Nothing but the truth
This commodity was so scarce
I was among the rares

Ma
Listen
Time went by
You were now never near by
"They" found my truth naked, stark naked
It felt too sacred
"They" felt sorry for me
Covered it a little bit
Dressed it more, bit by bit
I was back!
My dim life suddenly well lit

Ma
You know it, it takes two to tango
And two to "truth"
One to speak, the other to listen
And i had none to listen.

Ma
Don't listen now, please
For i am "in" and "happening"
With my lies i am the jungle king
I lie with words
I lie with silence

Ma
Now people don't believe me
And i don't them
Look how i was reared
And how i am scared!

I am GOD!

Pointed my little finger at the horizon
It turned crimson with rage
And the sun set
Down in the cage
Did i feel potent?

Dived and scratched the mighty ocean's belly
Was amazed, for it was really His soft underbelly
He threw up promptly
A huge tidal wave was churned swiftly
I still stayed tickling His belly, toying with His depth
Was i at the bottom or at the top?

Braved the gusts and bore the brunt
The gale force of winds in my face
He felt i was in his face
He changed the course
Left the race
Did i feel triumphant?

Sprinted to the fields
The grass green with envy
Got singed with the pace
The blades now sporting a yellow face
Did i feel invincible?

Ran out to torrents of rain
The force inflicting sharp pain
Looked up at the heavens
Eyes open, blood shot with strain
Voila!
Rains petered off to a trickle
Did i feel puissant?

Rowed my boat against the tide
Only the fierce resolve on my side
The current, no face to hide
Altered the course, propelled my boat
Chose it prudent to be my guide
Did i feel mighty?

Victorious, triumphant all pervading
I started back for home
Humming, whistling i tossed a pebble in the air
Sorry Lord, did i wake you up from your lair?
Cause the clouds parted
And the mighty sun shone through
Did i see YOU smile through?
Did i feel God?
Or
Did i feel Godly?

Hmmm
I thought i was human
But
I face YOU, in YOUR face, I am God!
If i stand erect, I am God!
I stay put, I am God!


I resolved......to be God!
