Dona Nobis Pacem... There is Hope...

Begin each day with a grateful heart
Let the morning breeze augur a fresh start
Oh, there is hope... there is hope...
God, grant thy people a way to cope...

Besieged by nature's wrath
Let mankind find the rightful path
Amidst the baffling global climate change
Sadly, humanity is also placed in war-torn range
Too many souls perish each day... all for naught!

Freedom, once suppressed, is cause for distraught
Oh, there is hope... there is hope...
Refrain from going down the slippery slope...

Pursue that which creates harmony
Embrace that which promotes unity
Accept each other's flaws
Coexistence is a worthy cause
Every man will one day learn to let go of blame...

Dona Nobis Pacem!

Indeed, there is hope... there is hope...

The Seven Deadly Sins

seven deadly sins

for eternal damnation

humanity's bane...

______________

Lustful thoughts reign

Unquenchable thirst for sex

Soul, body and mind on fire

The worst kind of bondage.

______________

Envious of what others have

Never contented with one's own lot

Vexatious green-eyed monster

Yearning to outdo another.

______________

Grasping beyond one's reach

Racing against time in

Endless pursuit of material wealth

Even for power and control

Devil incarnate.

______________

Warpath has been paved

Rage embraced her heart

Anger covers her sight

To offers of love and forgiveness

Hell, indeed, hath no fury like a woman scorned...

 ______________

Staving off so long

Laziness in disguise

Overstaying in a state of idleness

Total waste of one's God-given talents

Headed towards self-destruction.

______________

Gastronomic greed

Love of food beyond imagination

Unsatisfiable craving for anything edible

To a point of sickening proportion

To stop is not an option

Oblivious to his gut's limitations

Never mind if it slows him down

Yelling for more, munching his way to death.

______________

Perverted love of oneself

Respect is what he expects

Indifferent to other people's feelings

Denying any imperfection

Excessive self love shall be his doom.
