Justice is the cry of the earth, a poem by R. A. Jacob

Every man has a dark side,

Hidden in the dark,

How dark must be the darkness,

Of the people  who appear to be dark.

Wash yourself of all malice,

Wash yourself and be clean,

Wash and cleanse yourself,

In the blood of the lamb.

Christ will punish you for sure,

Even David was not spared,

Mills of God will grind you,

You shall not be spared.

I raise my hands to the Lord,

I raise my hands for sure,

Vengeance shall be attributed,

Vengeance and vengeance for sure.

May my prayer grow louder and louder,

May my prayer reach His ears,

May my God arise,

May He wipe all tears.

Every person is a god's  creation,

You have raped, molested and killed,

Vengeance is bound to happen,

Christ is still the king.

Earth is seeking for justice,

Blood is crying to the lord,

Dead are seeking for an answer,

Staring at the face of the lord.

Let lord arise,

Let Him judge the earth,

Plundered are the people for sure,

Justice is the cry of the earth.

R. A. Jacob

Farmers protest a poem by Reginold Jacob

For your ego, 
How many more will die,
You look very obstinate,
However hard you may try.

Voice of the people,
Is the voice of God,
Change your decision,
Hear the cry of all.

Think of all who are suffering,
Know that many have died,
Cry of millions you can't hear,
One day you too shall cry.

If there is smoke all around,
There must also be fire,
Don't close your eyes for every,
Or consequences will be dire.

Save my country, My Jesus,
Save my brother's for sure,
When humans fail to understand,
I turn to Christ for sure.

Minted gold and diamonds a poem by R.A. Jacob

 Minted  gold and diamonds,

Plenty of treasures in the word,

Giving succour to the faint heart,

 Whenever they are heard.

Fear not Little flock,

I am on the side,

Nobody can touch thee,

The ball of my eyes.

Did the manna fail in the desert,

Or the windows oil ran dry,

I am the same forever,

If only my son you try.

Do not fear for tomorrow,

I am Lord of it too,

Have faith in me,

That's all that you can do.

Where the mind is free a poem by R.A. Jacob

Naked, horrible, too sad to see,

Justice is being denied,

Words should not be heard,

Nor should pen ever write.

In an undeclared emergency,

Awakes my beautiful world,

Everyone has been muted,

Not even one is being heard.

Article 32 has lost its luster, 

The court is saving its soul, 

And if it continues to happen, 

India will lose its soul. 

Where the mind is free, 

Where is the mind free, 

You will be called a criminal, 

You will be called a traitor I see. 

Note:- In this poem, the poet is trying to express the situation where freedom is being curtailed. You will be able to see how the poet is trying to cover up realities

They thought they had accomplished a poem by R.A. Jacob

They thought they had accomplished, 

A remarkable fleet by killing Christ, 

Blood of Christ had been shed, 

Gates of redemption opened wide. 

Christ preached the message of salvation, 

In the depth of the earth as He died, 

Three days of mighty evangelism, 

And the Sheol lost its captives for sure. 

The blood of the martyrs never fails, 

Seed dies to accomplish His will, 

Hundred fold increase is promised, 

For the seed that dies as He Wills.

Mathematics of Jesus is wonderful, 

Seed dies and brings hundred fold, 

Every seed is precious, 

Not a single seed will be lost. 

A poem by R.A.Jacob

Don't fall in the hands of Delilah a poem by R.A. Jacob

Don't fall in the hands of Delilah, 

Samson's eyes were gouged out, 

Secrets are meant to be secret, 

Truth should never be out. 

You shouldn't end up as an entertainer, 

At the dagons house, 

World would ask for reasons,

The truth should never be out.

Antony will die for Cleopatra,

For Helen Troy was destroyed, 

Give not thy power to destroyer, 

Or everything shall be destroyed. 

My strength lies in my weakness, 

My strength lies in His love, 

My strength faileth never, 

My strength is His love. 

R. A. Jacob

Note:-

The story of Samson and Delilah is told in the Old Testament in the Bible, in Judges 16. Delilah is a Philistine woman who is bribed by the Philistine lords to discover the source of Samson's strength. Samson is a Nazirite and the final Judge of Israel, with supernatural strength given to him by God to do his work. Delilah tries three times to get Samson to reveal the secret of his strength, but he lies to her each time. Eventually, she persuades him to tell her that his strength comes from his hair, and while he is sleeping, she has a servant cut his hair and betrays him to the Philistines. The Philistines gouge out Samson's eyes and force him to grind grain in Gaza City, where his hair begins to grow back. When the Philistines take Samson to their temple of Dagon, Samson prays to God and regains his strength, allowing him to collapse the temple and kill himself and the Philistines. 

Seek courage from the Lord a poem by R.A. Jacob

I feel perturbed by the fact, 

That, the simple, are always despised, 

What a fearful world, 

Only the humble are despised. 

Afraid of the tyrant, 

We keep our eyes closed, 

Afraid of the vengeful, 

We in our wisdom keep our mouths closed. 

What a perfect world, 

Where we are so afraid, 

That we close our eyes to the truth, 

Where we just do not share. 

Fearful people, I am afraid of you, 

Fearful, just as fearful, as you are, 

Afraid to speak the truth, 

As afraid, as you are. 

The pertinent truth I am hiding, 

Is, in fact, the truth of God, 

He only can give you courage, 

Seek courage from the Lord. 

मुझे वह तथ्य चिंतित करता है,

कि साधारण लोग हमेशा निन्दित होते हैं,

कितनी भयानक दुनिया है,

केवल विनम्र लोगों की निन्दा होती है।

शासक से डरते हुए,

हम अपनी आँखें बंद रखते हैं,

प्रतिशोधी से डरते हुए,

हम अपने ज्ञान में अपने मुंह बंद रखते हैं।

कितनी पूरी दुनिया है,

जहाँ हम इतने डरते हैं,

कि हम सच्चाई को नज़रअंदाज़ कर देते हैं,

जहाँ हम सिर्फ साझा नहीं करते।

डरपोक लोग, मैं तुमसे डरता हूँ,

डरपोक, बस ऐसे ही डरपोक, जैसे तुम हो,

सच्चाई बोलने से भी डरते हैं,

जैसे तुम हो, मैं भी डरता हूँ।

मैं छिपा रहा हूँ वह प्रासंगिक सत्य,

है, वास्तव में, भगवान का सत्य है,

वही तुम्हें साहस दे सकते हैं,

भगवान से साहस मांगो।

For Brutus is your name a poem by R.A. Jacob

For brutus is your name

 a poem by R. A. Jacob

You supported the Aggressor, 

You strengthened those hands, 

You acted ignorant, 

As if I don't understand. 

Brutus, I can see you clearly, 

Brutus, you can not hide, 

Brutus, your shame is eternal, 

Brutus, you can't hide. 

The world will blame you for every, 

No one will ever use that name, 

I will hide your name forever, 

For brutus is your name. 

A poem by R. A. Jacob

Note : Brutus, Roman general, one of the conspirators in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Though he is Caesar's friend, Brutus joins in the conspiracy against Caesar's life, convincing himself that Caesar's death is for the greater good of Rome.

"तुम्हारा नाम ब्रूटस है।" कविता

आपने आक्रमणकारी का समर्थन किया,

आपने उन हाथों को मजबूत किया,

आपने अज्ञान व्यक्त किया,

जैसा कि मुझे समझ नहीं है।

ब्रूटस, मैं तुम्हें स्पष्ट रूप से देख सकता हूं,

ब्रूटस, तुम छिप नहीं सकते,

ब्रूटस, तुम्हारी शर्म शाश्वत है,

ब्रूटस, तुम छिप नहीं सकते।

दुनिया तुम्हें हर के लिए दोषी ठहराएगी,

कोई भी उस नाम का उपयोग नहीं करेगा,

मैं  तुम्हारा नाम छिपाऊंगा,

क्योंकि तुम्हारा नाम ब्रूटस है। 

How wise is mankind a poem by R.A. Jacob

How wise is mankind 

Values stones silver and gold 

Men and women and children 

In its exchange are sold 

Things of value matter, 

Are the things that are rare,

Thirty pieces of silver 

You see the world doesn't care. 

They can sell everything, 

They can even sell God 

Trade is the anthem of life, 

Rest of the things can simply slog. 

Will the veil be lifted up, 

Will man ever understand, 

Will the fruit of Eden ever fail 

I fail to understand. 

Note : The phrase "thirty pieces of silver" is a proverb that refers to someone who betrays a person or cause in exchange for money, power, or personal gain. In the Bible, the phrase refers to the price Judas Iscariot received for betraying Jesus, as described in the Gospel of Matthew 26:15. The phrase is also used to refer to money paid for a treacherous act, which is sometimes called "blood money".

Sometimes words fall short a poem by R.A. Jacob

Sometimes words fall short,

Sometimes words just fail,

When words lose their potency,

I turned to the one who never fails.

Words have  power indeed,

I wish to express it in one go,

Word will then accuse me,  

Every word has the power you know.

I can't, pour out my heart,

I can't, trust even a page,

I can't give a vent,

I Can't, I can't, even if it is a page.

Do not carry the burden of eternity,

Your shoulders will fail I am sure,

Weep in front of My Saviour,

He understands our heart’s core.

Weep, weep and weep again,

Weep, weep and weep out loud,

He will hear your whisper, 

He will hear you even if you are loud. 

I will keep you in a veil of secrecy, 

No, they will never find out,

They will read, yet veil, 

Yet the veil shall forever abound. 

Come with me, my child, 

Come to the Father's house, 

Hold His hands of comfort,

I tell you He will not flout.

In the shade of the wood, 

The wood of that blessed cross, 

Millions have found relief, 

In the shade of the cross.

He closes a door, 

We feel the depth of pain,

Yet it was closed for our good,

Lest our future is stained.

Trust your father for sure,

Trust He Will not fail, 

He can lift up the valleys,

He can make mountains plain.

Wait oh bleeding soul waits,

Wait on the promises of the Lord,

Pour out thy supplications,

At the footstool of the lord. 

Your father is the maker of heaven and earth,

Your father is a mighty man,

Pour out your supplications,

I am sure He will stretch out his hand.

Do not carry the burden of eternity,

Just hold  his mighty hand,

Weep, weep and weep again,

I tell you He will hold your hand.

He can rewrite your future,

But you just have to leave it in his hands, 

Why should I force my will,

For I know he has a better plan.

No advice to give, 

Yet  a request to make,

When burdens are  too heavy, 

Just leave it at his stake.

Note:-In this poem you will find that the poet discounts the value of words. 

In the second stanza, you will find the poet speaks exactly the opposite of what he expresses in the first stanza. 

The poet is not able to express his thoughts to a page hence is trying to cover everything in a veil, later you will find the poet turns to God and asks his loved one to also turn to the Lord, for the poet knows only God can really help.

Easy to kindle the fire a poem by R.A. Jacob

Easy to kindle the fire, 

Easy to make it burn, 

Difficult to quench the fire, 

Fire that always burns. 

You have set up the fire of violence, 

You have made it burn, 

Who will quench the fire, 

Fire that always burns. 

He will reward you,

For all what you have done, 

Eye of Christ are looking, 

Every prayer shall be heard. 

You have touched the apple of His eye, 

The prayer of oppressed shall be heard, 

Justice shall be delivered, 

It's voice shall not be heard. 

Farewell a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

 I will look for you, and you won't be there, 

Transient is the word that defines, 

Yet memories keep on lingering, 

Hard are the facts of life. 

We meet and we part again, 

Parting is a part and parcel of life, 

Transient is the word that defines,

Transient are all facts of life. 

No you were unique, 

Creator rarely creates duplicates, 

Every person has unique persona, 

I always appreciate .

Daughter of Manipur a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

My prayers won't ever stop my Lord, 

My prayers won't ever stop, 

I will always look to thee, 

My prayers won't ever stop. 

Pray with me daughter, 

Pray for your pain is deep, 

Pray for only He can deliver, 

Praying that you may have peace. 

Daughter of Manipur, 

Injustice has been done, and

I don't have answers you see, 

To Christ I raise my plea. 

Humanity is dead Lord, 

Naked is all mankind, 

Humans have failed miserably, 

I raise my plea to Christ. Amen. 

The storm is approaching, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

The storm is approaching

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

The storm is approaching,

I heard the alarm,

The fear of danger,

My faith did disarm,

I lost the helm of faith,

I was swept too and fro,

My heart in its distress,

No patience could ever know.

From the lips of a stranger,

I heard have faith in God,

Yet I kept wavering, as

If I was lost.

I wondered too and fro,

Sighing bearing the pain,

Turning from faithful to faithless,

From strength to being in vain.

Though the storm is bound to approach,

Yet through Strom, He shall be my guide,

Tempest doth also obey Him,

Why fear when He is beside.

Did the boat of disciple sink,

Didn't the sea obey His command,

Peace be still in His command,

Full obedience He demands.

How do you wash your hands, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

How do you wash your hands

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob

How do you wash your hands,

Oh, ye man of strife,

How did your conscious approve it,

Oh, ye men of strife.

Blood of Abel cried out of the land,

Justice was the cry,

You kill people after planning,

Has the earth stopped its cry?

Lord of justice will take revenge,

Every human is his child,

Blame not one another,

Justice will be done in a while

Cain will continue to kill a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Abel was killed by Cain, 

Abel is killed again, 

Abel is killed in every generation, 

Abel has to bear the pain. 

Abel will always have to die, 

Abel will be killed every time, 

Abel's blood will cry to the Lord, 

Abel will always meet demise. 

Cain will continue to kill, 

Cain will never stop, 

Hatred will continue to rage, 

Blood shed won't ever stop. 

All so called religious people, 

Who kill others in the name of God

Will always follow the footsteps of Cain, 

Killing everyone one by the sword. 

Blood will cry for vengeance, 

Earth won't hide this sin. 

Judgement will take sometime, 

Till that time Cain will continue to kill. 

Don't follow the ways of Cain, 

Your hands will be crimson red, 

Blood of thy brother will cry out, 

Death deserves death. 

Note:-

The story of Cain and Abel in the Bible is considered the first murder and is significant in many religions. In the story, Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy after God rejects Cain's sacrifice but accepts Abel's. God punishes Cain by exiling him and marking him, and says that anyone who kills Cain will be punished sevenfold. Some readers see the story as evidence of God's justice.

My train is running at its fastest ....5, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

My train is running at its fastest ....5

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

My train is running at its fastest,

Who can hold the speed of time,

Passengers have now reached college,

Guard is happy besides.

I see myself in a valley So green,

I thank Almighty for His grace,

See the tracks kept changing,

Yet one thing was sure that's His grace.

With me in the valley,

With me every time,

I love your presence,

Each and every time.

So many joys have you added in my heart,

I praise you for great though art,

My relaxation and comfort thou art,

And I know you won't ever part.

Note: The poem talks about passengers ie my children. Guard is my wife

Do not talk to a fool a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Do not talk to a fool,

Fools, shouldnt be entertained,

You can't reach their level,

Why waste your jewels in vain.

Fools should be kept at a distance,

Fools should be always disdained,

Fools should be kept at arm's length,

Distance should be always maintained. 

Once you realise the person of a man,

Maintain distance for sure,

Deceit is always covered for sure,

Don't waste your time in vain.

R.A.Jacob 

As a hen gathers her children a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

 As a hen gathers her children,

Right under her wings,

He will also surround  me,

From each and every harm.

Arms of Almighty can never fail,

He is victorious every time,

Neither have they failed in the past

Nor will they fail this time.

Some trust in chariots,

Some trust in fate,

I have you as my refuge,

I have essence called faith.

Hold the mouth of deceitful,

Hold the mouth of lies,

Build your wall around me,

Whenever circumstances try.

Note:- This poem draws its inspiration from Psalm 91. I have always seen the deliverance of the Lord. He part's the sea so that I may cross. To me, he is the only reality that can protect me, His child.

Let Saul convert to Paul, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Let Saul convert to Paul

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India



On the road to Damascus,

Saul encountered Christ,

Looking at His glory

Saul turned out to be blind.



Today also the condition is the same,

Most of us have turned out to be blind,

Blind to the glory of Jesus,

Blind to the goodness of Christ.



In veil is the goodness of God,

Men have turned out to be blind,

Thinking our hands have done it,

Veil has turned us blind.



May the scales of ignorance fall,

May we all receive our eyesight,

Acknowledged that He is creator, or

Till when shall the blind lead the blind.

Impractical Assumptions

 All my assumptions were impractical, 
They got shattered as a dream, 
I wonder how impractical, 
Too hard for me to conceal. 

Why did you let my assumptions break, 
Why my Lord I plead, 
How hollow I appear to myself, 
How can it  ever be concealed?

I am hollow as a drum, 
And I know it is true, 
He only can breath life, 
Only on him I  rely. 

A poem by R. A. Jacob

David got Uriah killed a poem by R. A. Jacob

David got Uriah the killed, 

He planned to hide his sins, 

King would have been exposed, 

So Uriah must not live. 

Reward of service unwavering, 

Uriah paid with his life, 

Oh what a cruel reward,

David, you robbed him of his life. 

Injustice of David, 

Couldn't escape the Lord's eyes, 

David had to live in trouble, 

After this incident of his life. 

Uriah must have failed to understand, 

Why did they leave him in the enemy's hands? 

King had adultery to cover, 

So Uriah had to be sacrificed.

David had adultery to cover, 

But why did you kill me? 

What did you ultimately gain? 

Searching for answers in vain. 

You killed my reputation, 

You killed me for sure, 

Maybe you wanted some drama, 

So you tarnished my reputation to the core.

A poem by R. A. Jacob

Note:- King David committed adultery with a woman named Bathsheba who consequently became pregnant. Upon learning of Bathsheba's condition, David tried to cover his sin and eventually arranged for Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, to be killed in battle.

Fear Not

Fear not, for I am your God,

Fear not, for I prevail,

Fear not, for I am mighty,

Fear not, for I never fail.

Fear not, for I am victorious,

Fear not, for I have prevailed,

Fear not, for I have conquered,

Fear not, for I have conquered the grave.

Fear not, for you are not alone,

Fear not, for I am by your side,

Fear not, for I am with you,

Fear not, for I am beside.

Note:- The poem talks about the present situation,in our country especially Manipur.

I will remain silent

I will remain silent,

For who will hear if I speak,

Silence is the only option,

For who is there to heed. 

Crucify him is the only voice,

You will hear, 

No rebuttal you will ever find, 

Lamb is silent every time. 

If Jesus was human 

He too would have cried, 

EU to Judas 

Just as Ceasers cried. 

Cry of the oppressed, 

On earth won't ever be heard, 

Yet the creator of earth won't be silent, 

Every cry shall be heard. 

If your voice has been silenced, don't bother, 

If you feel suffocated, don't care, 

Abel's blood will cry for justice, 

Justice for sure shall be done. 

Note:- In the Bible, Genesis 4:10 says, “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground”. God says this in response to Cain's evasion after murdering his brother Abel. The Hebrew word ze aqah is translated as "cries out" in this verse. It is used throughout the Old Testament to describe the cry, complaint, or appeal of victims of injustice. The story of Cain and Abel reminds us that:

• Plaintiffs and defendants live before the face of God
• God heard Abel's cry for justice.
