Dr John Celes Poems

I speak with bitterness of soul,
‘I hate my life; don’t prove me wrong.
O God, why do you oppose me?
Does oppression give pleasure, Lord? ’
...

O Valentine, O Valentine!
This day appears so very fine;
Just once a year, almost divine;
Two love-filled hearts will sure entwine!
...

One soul witnessed the tears of Indians all;
He saw how Indians all had been enslaved;
His time and life for us, He sacrificed;
He got us freedom through his actions, words.
...

Indians, we all are brothers and sisters
Nation is called Bharat, our beloved Motherland
Destiny, we share a common one
Integrity of states and citizens is prime
...

Wee hours before sun-rise;
Few minutes after sleep;
The brain has ideas fresh
That can be worked as themes:
...

For thirty silver pieces
Judas Iscariot
Betrayed the Lord Jesus
To foes at Gethsemane!
...

1. O God of glory and love infinitesimal!
O God of mercy and forgiveness endless!
2. O God who created all creatures with care and perfection!
O God who watches them and takes care of all their needs!
...

Smart cities aren’t a country’s primal need;
Existing cities must be made better;
Smart citizens, bureaucrats, we want;
Smart youth, professionals and leaders must guide.
...

Early in the morning;
Before the Sun had come;
A cool breeze was blowing;
I walked up and down.
...

God take away the urge to sin from me;
My body’s weary from devils’ assaults;
The devils come to tempt me frequently;
My weakened spirit leads me to more faults!
...
