TITLE: A YEAR WITHERING TO A NEW BORN YEAR

The year is withering,
Dust bears up wings to fly,
The whistling wind bellows, saying:
I'm the forerunner of Christ's birthday.
When I come skin becomes dry,
Leaves land and lips become dry,
It happens November,December.

Man's days swiftly fly,
As the days go by,
Jubilation is coming,
Although new year is coming,
Jeolousy will caress the heart,
But those who could the
Season's glee afford,
Laughter serenades their souls,
Yet man becomes terrible,
With pleas for longevity,
Yet his days swiftly fly,
Like as the days go by.

Though the ember months herald fear,
But joy comes 25th and 1st,
As well as food as rice and beans,
Yet,man's days swiftly fly,
Like as the days go by.

This is a new born year,
If you were to live
Hundred years to die,
You are left with ninety-nine to stay,
Yet I shout halleluja and joy,
Though would the days go by,
Shortening the man's life.

Nice poem with little diction to understand

During election, the masses have the opportunity to choose their leaders who best fit the throne, but they prefer to take bribe and vote the wrong leader and afterwards complain through out the reign. The government of a country can be changed by the masses through election. Consider the track records of the candidate before voting him of her and not hastily taking bribe that lasts for a moment. Let's be wise, think about the past, the present and the future when voting a rightful candidate. Check this out...

TITLE : THE GAME OF MANTLE

Awaiting the sunrise of power game,
Quite a dog in the hunt for the mantle,
That game where racers of pregrant vision,
Graith feets lowly to lofty seat incline,
But their unsure fate, only thumbs could will,
That game where rarely all is innocent,
Where virtue would clothe in vicious garment,
Such racers alike, for the mantle to battle,
Amain engage in a rift; it's dog eat dog,
With swiftly flying propaganda,
Breeding in the opponent, Of void credibility,
And permit not genuine recourse, spare not their purse,
But generously spill bribe in every realm,
And with sugared lips soft-soap corrupted thumbs,
Whom for a moment change their future bagain,
And to such ambitioned hands sell the helm.
Then it's another sunrise of
Betrayed promises, brooding
The sunset of justice reign.

Title:I AM A RIDDLE
I despise mat
Bed rejects me
I have crossed the Rubicon
Be wilderness is my confidant

The sky yells on me
Hardship reigns over land
Life is darkness
Where am I?

I go back to the mat
I plead,urge and remorse' but
The mat rejects me
I am ejected
