Dr John Celes Poems

I've reached a stage when I can take no more!
The world around me oppresses a lot;
I feel my mind and body getting sore;
My heart seems anguished by their lies and plot!
...

The Holy Cross beckons
To follow Jesus Christ;
The source of strength and joy
To souls, for Lord athirst!
...

God made the woman Eve, from Adam’s rib;
He saw that man needed a companion;
Amongst creatures, they made a couple fine,
And roamed the Eden garden, joyfully.
...

Can men in darkness see clearly?
Alas, the blind have better sight in dark!
No man is comfortable without light
Destroy the darkness in your life
...

The jails and cells that prisoners fill,
Though nations build escape-proof still,
To house the criminals much galore,
Have innocents too, by the score.
...

Life brings woes and foes,
Joys and choice,
Challenges and risks,
Ups and downs,
...

I thought of others’ welfare prime;
I never cared about lost time;
I could have led a selfish life,
And earned more wealth and faced my strife.
...

Without women, the world can’t go along;
The girl is as important as the boy;
Make girls equal to boys, ensure progress;
Girl-baby is procreation’s especial joy!
...

Ring in the New Year, spread the cheer
Life is to live with bliss, sans fear
Happy was the Old Year, may be
Let New Year be happier, truly
...

The man who heals has not a heart of stone;
From bricks and mortar, his body isn’t made;
Like you, he is as much flesh, blood and bone,
And suffers from much stress and is ill paid.
...
