WATER A MUST FOR LIFE
I am a creation to love and cherish
I am a giver to pet and spoil
In me the mineral flow
Without me, man can’t live
Animal and fishes dwell in my world
But all poisoned with scientific waste
All poisoned by the ungrateful hunters
Lawyers come to my rescue
Beneath the voice of nature cries
Equate forbid I should die
For I am a product of God
And I am not immune to their garbage glut
Parliamentarian passes a law
Let my water pure
Let my ocean swing
Let my stream flow
Water a must for life
For I am the giver of life
© June 23rd 2003 Queendaline Schneider award winning poem on World environmental day themed: water two billion people dying for it.
MY ATINE IS NO MORE
Oh death the greatest enemy of the living soul
The enemy of man soul
Even when not invited you are here…
No one can tell the hour of your visit
We know the fact that we are owing you
Is it enough to strike anytime, anywhere?
We do not know where our immortal body lays
Dust we are made of
Dust we shall return
For will we sure perish
And the Just shall live again
My Atine is no more but her phone is living
Oh death! Collect your price with honour and not with shame
How long shall we weep over our loved ones?
Oh death when will you be fedup?
When there is no living on planet earth?
But your co-existence gives us the hope of re-existence of being
My Atine is no more but her phone is living
Oh death! You have taken away this brain and beautiful mother of all
