       To My God

   Petrarchan Sonnet

 

Things are worse than Sodom and Gomorrah,

God, have mercy on this generation,

Do not take away the unrighteous one,

But give us another chance like Jonah,

Far from the madding crowd of this era,

We will mend our ways to become Your own,

Our lives in this world are yet to be done,

To live with the Alpha and Omega.

 

I hold out to You in a time like this,

To dwell deep into Your life-giving Word,

To meditate and be righteous always,

To be right in thought and not to be erred,

As and when on this earth I close my eyes,

I will open my eyes to see You, Lord.

Ebook: ISBN- 10 / 1980654646 Paperback: ISBN- 13 / 1980654643 There is a Sore Evil By Varghese Kuncheria There is a sore evil soaring under the sun,  The evil of inequality among people and nations,  The profit of the earth is meant for all,  But the riches are kept by a handful. The nature of man is naturally selfish,  And the poor are oppressed and reproached,  Lay aside all malice; let no guile be our guide,  Let love and brotherhood be part of our DNA! To oppress the poor is to reproach humanity,  There is a gap that becomes wider day by day,  The gulf between the haves and the have nots. Refuse to hide your wealth in tax havens. Pay your taxes and make eternal savings,  That moths do not eat or perish by evil travail,  Honour all men, let not your heart be haughty Have pity on the needy, and honour your Maker. ​The struggle is the same; the UN has tried its best, So are the...

  My First Love   By Joji Varghese Kuncheria  Who drives me towards my destiny? Who makes my life worth a living one? Neither riches or desires unending, Nor is it power or worldly pleasures, It's You, my Love, only my first love, Who leads me on and on to the goal. My first love will never ever change, To you I owe my life, my whole being, I'm lost and shattered now without you, My life sways shaky like a pendulum, Swinging back and forth under gravity, The spirit that surged me on is gone. Back to you is not an easy coming, Filthy as I am, forlorn and forsaken, I long to be in your omniscient fold, To be immersed in your eternal love, Lead me to the fountain of my life Of unending pleasures worth living. You are only a call away to my beckon, With wide open arms ready to embrace, How I long to be secure in your arms! To be imbued in your love and be safe, I cry out to you, the elixir of my Love, Lead...
