Why tell you are naked, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Why tell you are naked

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

From our hearts of heart, we know

That they are a bunch of lies,

Yet we act, as if, we don't know,

Not distinguishing truth from lies.

Have you, acted ignorantly,

Don't you know, they are lies,

Why tell the naked king

Clothes are missing, don't try.

In the world, some lies are so old,

They have attained the status of truth,

Live, and let others live, is the principle,

Who is bothered, about the truth?

Socrates spoke the truth,

What did he gain in return,

A bowl full of poison,

To the philosopher, was served.

Speak, what the world, wants to know,

Truth, let it go, let it go,

Life or death is a choice

Tell me, what you wanted, to know

You do all the talking

a poem by R.A. Jacob

 You do all the talking,

With your beautiful eyes,

I tell you a heartfelt truth,

Don't consider them utter lies.

Your silence speaks louder,

Louder than words,

Louder and clearer,

As it can be heard.

Panchsheel

a poem by R.A. Jacob

When you occupied Tibet,

We found an aggressor for sure,

Yet you blind folded us,

Talking of panchsheel,five stones.

You devoured a country,

Called it an autonomous zone,

We protected Dalai Lama,

Granting asylum to a noble soul.

Panchsheel where is it,

Where are those foundation stones,

You have been killing our soldiers,

Claiming our land for sure.

I stand for freedom of Tibet,

I stand for freedom of China,

From the tyrant's hold,

Why should China suffer?

At the hands of a dictator for sure,

Mutual respect for each other territorial integrity,

Where did those stones fly?

One day they will fall back on you.

On that you will cry,

Today you are an aggressor,

Today you are filled with pride,

Tomorrow you'll pay the price.

Thorn, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Thorn

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Don't look at the thorns,

It was once just green,

If only its Splender,

You had seen.

Most fertile of land

Now studded with thorns,

No one knows it's misery,

There is no one to mourn.

Call it barren,

Or simply pass by,

If only you could hear,

Its soul as it cries.

Too fertile was this land,

Even a twig could grow,

If only passerby,

It's tragedy you could know.

It's plus points hailed its disaster,

Its goodness brought it falls,

Fertility made a thorn to grow,

A thorn, that covered it all.

I planted a shrub,

Thinking it was a rose,

I have paid for my folly,

I have paid, for what, I chose.

Roots have clamped on fertility,

Shoots have turned out to be thorns,

There is none to Care,

There is none to mourn.

Note:- The poem is about the wrong choices that we sometimes make. A wrong choice that we make can ruin our future. It's life that poem is talking about.

This poem was written on October tenth 1993.

You are creating a world by your thoughts a poem by R.A. Jacob

You are creating a world by your thoughts

a poem by R.A. Jacob

You are creating a world by your thoughts, 

Your words are giving it its shape,

Your actions are solidifying the same, 

Take care of what ye spake. 

The world that you live in, 

Is not just, concrete and stones, 

It's is a product of your thoughts, 

Thoughts that ye just spoke. 

Build a beautiful world around you, 

Build a world full of faith, 

Build a world full of hope, 

Build a world that, on Him waits. 

Mind your words they are alive, 

Mind your words they have strength, 

Use your tongue for edification, 

Every now and then.

Justice will never die

a poem by R.A. Jacob

I can't say nor can I write, 

And I wish I may never be able to write, 

How they must have felt, 

When they were persecuted on every side. 

How can you persecute a person, 

I find it shame full and hard, 

Hatred is shameful to witness, 

Hatred is sin alas! 

Voice of wisdom is often ignored, 

Voice of wisdom often fails, 

Noise of the mob is regulated noise, 

Noise that often prevails. 

Blood of Abel cried for revenge, 

Blood of humans always cries, 

Blood will seek for justice, 

Justice will never die. 

I think an enemy has attacked us

a poem by R.A. Jacob

I think an enemy has attacked us, 

Yet I will bowdown and pray, 

I submit the helm in your hand, 

The ship is yours always. 

I can't steer the ship I am sure, 

I can't steer the ship all alone, 

When I fail to canoe, all alone, 

I leave the deck to Him for sure. 

He has to take control,

He won't fail for sure,

Neither have you ever failed, 

Nor can thy servant fail. 

Every prison can be broken

a poem by R.A. Jacob

You can only be caged in the prison you create, 

So break the walls anyway, 

Why live as a prisoner, 

Live as a free man I say. 

Every prison can be broken, 

You have to take concrete steps, 

Walls can crumble in a go, 

If you pray and say, Amen. 

Master of heaven and earth

Master of the whole universe, 

Master I seek thy protection, 

Master world fails to understand. 

I will only cling to thy cross, 

I will my succour claim, 

Like the woman who touched thy robe, 

My faith shall always prevail. 

Master your servant never fails, 

Master your grace is supreme, 

I will only look to thee,

Rest is just not to be seen. 

I will still praise Him my defence,

a poem by R.A. Jacob

I will still praise Him my defence

I will still rely on His strength,

I will rest in my saviour's arm,

I will not take any offence.

I am, blessed by my Lord,

I am, happy in His arms,

I am, not going to give up,

I am sure of His defence.

Yes, I do not fear,

Yes,  to Him I am dear,

 I am the one, for me, He died

Yes, on Him I can  rely.

R.A.Jacob

Either we are not the children of God, 

a poem by R.A. Jacob

Either we are not the children of God

Or we don't believe in Christ, 

If riches is our criteria, 

Where is the love of Christ? 

Stop calling yourself Christians, 

If status is just supreme,

Christ will say, I don't know you, 

When we reach the throne of Christ.

Vain is your religion,

I am telling you for sure, 

If status is your criteria, 

Religion is vain for sure. 

We are all the children of one father, 

He sent His son to save mankind, 

If still you believe in high and low, 

You are not the followers of Christ. 

Your grace is so abundant

Your grace is so abundant

a poem by R.A. Jacob

Your grace is so abundant, 

As if manna on the land, 

Grace after grace, grace, after grace, 

The magnitude of your love I can't understand. 

Let your love be my pillar of strength, 

Let me always rely on your grace, 

May my father never leave my hand, 

Let me see His grace in every act. 

Let my eyes remain open 

To see your intervention every time, 

Let me not fail to thank you, 

Each and every time. 

My words may fall short, 

I may be hiding the true magnitude of thy grace, 

Accept this free will offering, of love, 

A simple act for magnificent grace. Amen.
