Cristo El-Salvador

Every day is lovely

But birthdays are special

Every day holds its goodies

But birthdays hold endless bounties

So here’s a tribute to THE ONE with whom we have to do

“For God so loved the world, He sent His only begotten son...”

Manger-born...gather ye; every man with his horn

Herod opposed, still; Bethlehem shook the world

Alas! Son of David

Thou wert birthed to earth

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given...”

Manger-born, humblest of all

“...and the government shall be upon His shoulder”

Humbled that we be lifted

Impoverished for our wealth

Sickened for our health

“...and His name shall be called - Wonderful” 

First born of all humanity

First heir to all divinity

First Prince of all royalty

“...and His name shall be called Counselor” 

Only begotten of the GOD-entity

Before Him is no enmity

Before Him is all verity!

“...and His name shall be called - The MIGHTY God” 

By Him evolved alto, soprano, tenor and bass

By Him all things animate are particulate in mass

By Him every being living stays breathing-live via gas

“...and His name shall be called - The EVERLASTING Father”

HE alone gave and gives us cause to celebrate CHRISTmas!!

“...and His name shall be called  - The PRINCE of Peace”

HE alone is the reason for the season!!!

When I think of Africa

I think beauty

When I think of Africa

I think grace and talent

When I think of Africa

I think pioneer spirit

When I think of Africa

I think of a rising GIANT

So here’s an ode to her heroes

The ones gone before us

Souls of honor who walked in golden toes

Persons who labored to the plus

They gave us strength to face our apartheid foes

Speaking of apartheid

I think of South Africa

When I think South Africa

I think Nelson Mandela

Here I stand – aghast in wonder

A tad frozen – stopping to ponder

How could one man rise so wise?

How could one man rise to shake the world?

One man born a fledgling just like all and sundry

One man with a heart and veins just like mine

How could one man rise to shake the world?

Spirit of candor

Soul of color

Embodied in valor

By all means, a man of honor

What song can I sing to you sir?

What poem can I write you sir?

What math can equate you to sir?

What logic can I reason by you sir?

A leader I will forever admire

A beacon from out of the bowels of Africa

You beckoned to us all, rousing in us a fire

An entire continent singing - Kumbaya

Till we meet again…adios Monsieur MANDELA

Africa names you her sweetest vanilla 

Signed

NFF Where Is Keshi's Money

Linesmen checking their lines

Neither poetics nor yard vines

Yarded however, far better than mines

Assistants shan’t assist ants

Neither shall they oblige corrupt grants

They’re just assistants

Whistle blown

Whistle-blower off to a running spree

The one they call Mister Referee

*Game plays right through to ninety minutes…plus a lil’ extra*

Whistle-blower halted

The boys are exhausted

“Green-White-Green”; says the flag of victory tonight

No effort is wasted

****

Hey, Look!

Those NFF buffoons have eloped

Wait a minute!

Where is Keshi’s money?

WARNING!!!

Let’s try something twisted

One day for the thief

Many days for the owner

A stitch in time

Safely deletes nine

Make hay while the moon glooms

Except of course if you’d rather not have your sun for a son

Save pleasantries for last

Reserve courtesies for never

Let’s be rude and irrational forever

Let the yabs do the blast

Take heed for creed

Even the strong and tall utterly fall

Beware and weary for balance

Lest you lose your savvy parlance

Distant futures eventually lose their bragging distance

Elusive pasts then return for prowl on freelance

Accents ascend bad manners

Decents descend fad banners

Presents present a tad tanners

Beware and weary for balance

Lest you lose your savvy parlance

Elusive pasts oft return for prowl on freelance

Distant futures eventually lose their bragging distance
