A lifetime of joy....

The Prelude:



"Yesterday I saw a movie Juno,

It was playing at prime time on HBO.

Immediately some thoughts came pouring to my mind,

So I decided to put my pen to the grind...



"Here it goes:"

Let me tell you a story of agony & joy,

the story of me and my little boy.

We were all of 16 & love was all around,

we spent our days on our high school playground.

I was the music band's guitarist rocker,

he led our school to victory, in games of soccer.

Our lives were cruising just perfectly right,

up until that fateful rainy night.

Driven by crazy teenage passion & dare,

we had forgotten to take due care.

Our decision was wrong, and it will always be,

But for now, I had a life within me.

Now, I had some decisions to take,

all of those weren't the one's I'd want to make.

The thought of killing a life was rogue and wild,

nor at 16, could I think of being mom to a child.

The life within me, I could not abort,

how could I cut a divine story short?

What happened then, was probably meant to be,

the Williams couple came and approached me.

Joanna wanted to be a mom so bad,

but Jack could never be her kiddo's dad.

My curse had become their blessing now,

I wondered what a miracle that was, it happened how?

It's difficult to give away what's been your part,

especially something, you've nurtured from start.

My heart smiles, but my eyes weep,

I had never felt so strangely deep.

I was sad because I gave it away,

I was ecstatic for Williams, who had taken it that day,

I had learned my lesson from this little boy,

I was also glad I gifted someone, a lifetime of joy..."

A Nightmare...

It’s supposed to be dawn, I wake up,

I hear no birds, and no sun I see, No sights, no sounds,

Pitch dark is how everything appears to be.

I fold my hands to make my morning prayer,

Astonished, I realize neither is there.

Something’s wrong, I wonder and fear,

When I observe barbed wire everywhere near.

I try to lift my legs from the bed,

I find them tightly shackled instead.

I try to see what’s further ahead,

Scores of bodies lying dead!

What world is this, tell me my Lord,

What sin did I commit which I could not afford?

Why is there darkness and gloom all around?

Why is there not a single pleasing sound?

Just when I was about to weep,

There appears a voice firm and deep,

“C’mon you moron, enough of your sleep

You’re alarm’s long dead trying to beep”
