No End to What We Face

In our schools and also in the home,
In government and in the working world,
No stop – no stop to what we face!

In the church, as well as in the mosque,
Though one seems better than the other,
No stop – no stop to what we face!

In time of peace and also during war,
Since the dawn of what is called mankind,
No stop – no stop to what we face!

But even there, only Gabriels and Michaels;
Nothing ‘bout Cynthia, Catherine or Elizabeth.
No stop – no stop to what we face!

A Star

Yes! You are a star,

But not the start;

Not the only star;

Not the largest star;

Not the smallest star;

Not the brightest star;

And not the dimmest star.

The Same

Although in your youth you were as bright as the treading sun,

Giving beam to umbra environment; in times,

The period will shun and you will

Expire in your wax for it is

That which gives you life
