You intervean in the movement of time

You intervene in the movement of time, 

I can see your presence loud and clear, 

So what if my eyes can't see you, 

Your presence to me is dear. 

World may fail to recognize you,

World may fail to see, 

I wish, I may never deny thee, 

May you be a friend to me. 

I pray thee, my Father, 

I pray thee, my Lord, 

I pray thee, my Saviour, 

I pray thee, my all in all. 

Look at me as a sinner, 

Look at me as a malefactor, 

Promise me thy salvation, 

As you promised on the cross.

When tension Hits me hard, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

When tension Hits me hard

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

When tension hits me hard,

I cling to the cross,

Till the tempest rages,

I do not leave the cross.

Come tempest come,

You will have to fail,

I with my Jesus,

Can never fail.

Did the disciples sink,

Did the sea prevail,

No, it failed,

Yes, it failed.

Nor did it win then,

Nor will it win now,

Shepard for sure,

No wolf shall allow.

Note:- This poem is written on the 27th of January 2018. This poem talks about my faith in God.

Once the disciples were on a boat and Jesus was also with them a storm approached as Jesus was asleep the disciples got afraid and woke up Jesus and he silenced the Storm.

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF THE LAND

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF THE LAND

You don't have love for them, 

You only have love for their land, 

You are so bloodthirsty, 

Killing the inhabitants of the land. 

Land is your utmost desire, 

Land is the sign of your greed, 

Land that you wish to capture,

Land is your ultimate greed. 

You want to throw them out of the hills, 

You want to grab their land,

You have burnt their houses, 

You are the culprits you understand. 

Land was conquered by the kings, 

Land they didst control, 

Today where are the kings, 

Where are the mighty ones that strolled. 

Land covers its inhabitants, by and by, 

Land wins the final race. 

Land is the ultimate winner, 

Humans are left just as a trace. 

Nobody can hold the land forever, 

Kings came and went away, 

On one can stay forever, 

Futile are all such efforts I say.

With whom should I share my sorrow? a poem by R.A. Jacob

With whom should I share my sorrow?
They will hit me hard, 
If I bury it in my heart,
It will turn into a graveyard.

From heart to graveyard,

I am witnessing the change,

The world has fallen apart.

Once I too had a heart.

Dwellers of the unmarked grave

Why do seek love,

Love is long dead in that grave,

You remember that unmarked grave,

Grave where your parents lie,

One day you will be with them,

However hard you may try,

Oh, dwellers of the unmarked grave,

My life is almost gone.

You may be resting in your grave,

I am almost gone,

Only a grave is missing,

The rest is all just gone.

The fruit that Adam ate

What was that fruit the one you ate

In strict disobedience you see, 

It made us love resources 

Humans we cannot see. 

What wisdom is this everyone is storing, 

Storing much more than we need, 

Storing for our future descendants, 

Yet the future is never ever seen. 

Surely, the fruit killed us, 

Surely we all didst die, 

Eating the fruit of knowledge, 

Our love for our brother died. 

Metal has taken place of love, 

Metal has started it's rule, 

Metal that are in scarcity, 

Metal that often rules. 

How wise we have turned to be, 

We don't value flesh and bones, 

We value dead metal, 

Metals that have turned us into stones. 

Mighty hands

How much hatred can you carry, 

Is it fit for human beings, 

When human favour ceases,

I plead to the Eternal one to intervene. 

When I see it's beyond human resources, 

When I see injustice is at its peak, 

When human wisdom fails to be, 

I interceed the eternal one to intervene

Blood always cries for justice, 

It cries up to the Lord of heaven and earth, 

Blood will seek for justice, 

And I tell you it's cries will be heard. 

God is not blind, nor is his staff weak, 

Justice will always prevail, 

When I fail to understand,

I leave it in his mighty hands.
