Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Of all animals, Man is the most cruel
Vietnam's greyhound racing proves this
That horrible abuse as a gambling fuel
And the use of canines for fun must cease!
...

This heart aches to be with you
How it wished that all the miles
Would just fade out into the blue
And it would be with you all the while
...

In war, to lose one's life
That is a noble thing.

There is a valid reason
...

'Just let me go!
God made a mistake-
It's what I know
This love is fake! '
...

Though I may not have many assets
My simple dwelling not that grand
My luxuries in life scarce
Work feeds the needs at hand
...

They tied Him on a pillar
As if He would try to escape
His destiny foretold before birth
They tore off His clothes, took His cape.
...

The hooded man with the sickle
He comes without invitation
He drops in on all kinds of people
And takes them with no hesitation.
...

Selfish restrictions
Gripping the heart.

Unmasked emotions,
...

When the tongue is used as a whip
Through toxic words that rage
The heart is revealed from those lips,
And the venom's released from its cage.
...

Shared Joy is double joy,
It keeps on multiplying.

Shared Sorrow is half a sorrow
...
