Dr John Celes Poems

When problems seize a man upon the earth,
The cause is devils, nature, God or I;
The Christian has a dreary life since birth;
In all his strife, Jesus remains near-by!
...

There’s Light at Life’s Tunnel’s Other End!
When I entered Life’s tunnel sometime back,
It was a totally new experience!
...

My eyes retrace the contour of a dame:
‘My God, ’ “How beautiful the Eve You made! ”
I stop in wonder whence the beauty came;
I know not how to swim but only wade.
...

The love of God’s the strongest one we know!
The more we realize, stronger ’twill grow;
Defeating anyone, the strongest foe;
A debt to God, unique, all creatures owe.
...

Sometimes, one knows not how one gets his wealth;
Sometimes, one forgets where it lies in mounds!
Sometimes, one slogs in spite of failing health;
The wealth unused becomes another one’s!
...

I am much better than my good father,
But I am yet to inculcate his good;
I am much better than my good mother,
But I am yet to taste her dainty food.
...

All’s well that ends in life well, after all;
Success/failure is predestined by God;
And everytime, God lifts us when we fall;
He gave a unique place to man of Clod.
...

The man who wields the baton, think awhile!
You cannot take the law into your hand;
You can’t assault but cases you may file;
No innocent in jail should ever land.
...

God, turn the Wheel of Time to usher in
An era of new hope and joy, mind’s peace;
My heart afilled by sorrow, mortal sin
Is weary of its wages and disease!
...

How does one man burn another alive?
How can one torture men to get things done?
Should one from other's suff'rings joy derive?
Man must be crazy, firing machine-gun.
...
