Why is that.

Why is that
What I  want is not what I get.
And why is that
What I get is not what I want.

Strange are the ways of this world,
Always so twisted and curled.
Why is it that you never get what you want,
And you always have to rave and rant..

But when you do get it,
You realise that it wasn't worth a bit,
Never realising the value of what you have now.
Ever wondered why now isn't wow?

An Unsuccessful Robbery

Yesterday our house was broken into
By a thief named Mintoo
He came in the dead of the night
In the bright moonlight

He did not disturb a leaf
He was a petty thief
He crept stealthily like a cat
Which couldn't be heard even by a bat.

But just at that moment
I caught some movement
And came out of the house
Knowin that it was not a mouse

When i saw the burly thief
I knew he was after our coral reef
So i shouted loud and clear
People appeared from far and near!

He tried to make his getaway
Thru our spacious gateway
But on his way to the doorway
He was made to pay.

The thief was handed over to the sheriff
And all added to my greatest relief.
I was considered a big hero,
And not as usual as a big zero!!!

Arabian Rap

There was a Sheikh
Who loved to take
A tasty milk shake!
Once he went to the lake
To learn to bake
A piece of cake.
But alas for the sheikh
There was a hungry snake
Coiled around his rake
Ready to eat the cake.
The sheikh gave the snake
A hard and violent shake
But had to break
The neck of the snake
For the sake of the cake.
That is the story of a sheikh
Who went to the lake
To learn to bake
A piece of cake!!!

Pinnacle

It was the pinnacle of pain
Driving me insane
She was making her way through
To this world anew!

She would be born soon
In this rainy month of June
Relieving me of this pain
Relief coursing through my vein.

Each moment it grew on
The spasms of pain now prolonged
When will this agony end
Without any more pend.

Then there was this explosion
The ultimate point of creation
The first glimpse of this world
For my little girl!

It was the pinnacle of pleasure
Bounded by no measure
One look into her eyes
Was my greatest prize!

Being the Creator needs so much power
Had i realized it ever
These were few moments
I would cherish more than the heavens.

It was indeed the pinnacle of pleasure
The pinnacle of pain beyond any measure
The pinnacle of glory without any strife
Definitely the pinnacle of my LIFE!!!

In a Boat ,Caught in a Storm.......

In a boat, caught in a storm
This was a soul, worn and forlorn
It was an escape into darkness
Absconding from life's unfairness

My life was dark
Like a match with not a spark
So I set forth on a journey
To end my life,to end the journey ...

The wind blew with a vengeance
Thunder roared,knocking out my senses
Flash came the lightning with all its light
Then I knew I had to fight

My faith and my beliefs strengthened
My will to survive thickened
Man was no toy to be played by storms
Or no boy to be wounded by thorns

I would not succumb to the pain
Nor would I lose to the rain
I steadied myself to face the test of time
As this life was only mine

I rowed with all my might
The sharks and whales gave me a fright
But hope gave me the courage
The will to cope this rage

I rowed into the night's fury
With my faith and belief as my jury
And then a miracle took place
Which left me in a daze....

The clouds parted and winds stilled
The incessant rain stopped its spill
The sun rose majestically in the east
The birds sang,heralding a feast

The golden sands of the beach,
Now lay within my reach
And my troubles and guilt vanished
As I reached the beach famished

Thank You Lord for protecting me
And being present in all my deeds
Now I can face upto these challenges
Bearing in mind that night of penances!
