Dr John Celes Poems

The corrupt can't wipe out most corruption;
Thieves can't ensure safety of property;
Evil-doers can't promote righteousness;
Guardians of justice must be quite honest.
...

The rains were welcome to the rain-starved town;
Yet, none knew Nature's fury had come down;
It filled the lakes and water-tanks in days,
And water-logged the houses, streets, road-ways!
...

For now, I feel I'm all alone in life;
For now, I feel I'm insecure on earth;
For now, I feel I'm losing to my strife;
For now, I feel I'm living not with mirth.
...

When caught in traffic block and you can't move,
You have to wait with patience till 'tis cleared,
For you cannot proceed forward or turn -
Avoid such roads and take another route.
...

This winter, colder than all previous years
Reminds us of Christ's birth, as Christmas nears;
In Bethlehem's inn, in a manger small,
As angels sang the Good News to men all.
...

Rivers of lives flow as a river red!
A man-made disaster and holocaust;
Unfit to drink, the water's fish are dead;
A human blunder has really caused.
...

We miss our parents both for this Christmas!
My father passed away in eighty-nine;
My mother died five years ago, old-aged;
Our hearts are filled by memories of the two.
...

The arrogant must die the meanest death
And take with him, his vile and vice and sin;
The meekest lamb gets throat slit by a knife,
And life is gone in moments with limbs flail;
...

Away in a manger, in Bethlehem town,
A baby boy is born, a birth of renown;
The star of Bethlehem brought Magi kings three,
To worship the new King, and give him gifts free.
...

An apostle and slave of Jesus Christ,
Simon Peter to those with faith like ours
From Jesus Christ and righteousness of God:
‘May grace and peace be yours in abundance
