HAIKU and POEM

I made this haiku and poem for our project in school. Nothing, I just wanted to post it.

HAIKU

A sight of beauty

Flowing, Falling from above

Nature's waterfalls

POEM

When God made the Earth,

He created it beautifully.

And so, nature gave birth

to nature bountifully.

There are thousands of evidence

of God's eternal providence.

Take a look at the land,

Green grass and trees are plenty.

And more is on its hand,

We can feel and see sights so pretty.

Running & flying, big & small animals

all are created special.

Take a look at the seas,

the sand and rolling waves are present.

You feel your spirit at ease

See how fishes and corals went.

There are still a lot of things to mention

just lokk around and change your perception

Labor Day is the celebration and the day of giving honors to our dear industrious workers. Those people who sweat a lot, get tired and sometimes wounded and aching bodies are the people who just earn meager money. Most of them are: farmers, fishermen, teachers, factory workers, construction workers...etc. While those people who just sit and talk, greeting every people they meet eventhough they didn't know their names and the people who appear in T.V commercials  bragging about the "Great Act" they had done, have thousands maybe millions as salaries. Well, I assume you already know these people I'm talking about. Some of the government officials are just taking their work for granted. Some use the cars with red plates going out and strolling at the mall during sundays. I even saw on TV that a government car has been parked on a motel. Others also give money to poor people not just because they need them but because elections are fast approaching . How about the Fertilizer Fund scam?ZTE Broadband deal? I'm not saying that all government officials are bad. I do not prefer to generalize. I'm still 15 yrs old. and if anybody from the government who would read this, I hope you would not take this as an insult but an encouragement to do your work efficiently. I still have 80% trust in our government. I'm taking this blog as a step in fulfilling our national hero's, "Ang Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan".

..my insight on wars

            World Peace, a line which we commonly hear from the contestants of a beauty pageant answering the question, “What is your greatest wish for the world?”. A line which remains as a line. Cease Fire, a phrase which we hear from people afflicted by war and craving for its end. A phrase which remains as a phrase. World Peace and Cease fire, a line and a phrase, which came from their mouths and our mouths. And up to now, that line and that phrase have never been put into actions. Did the world attain peace? Have the opposing armies ceased bombings with each other?

 

            Wars are found and felt everywhere in the world. A little disagreement instantly turns to deeper problems and eventually becomes war. Wars do not happen only between warring nations or states but also between disputing neighbors. A conflict with your brother or sister may turn to war. Even if you’re not using fire arms, those wanton and slanderous words you utter against each other stir up war.

 

            Have you ever noticed that we also have wars just within ourselves? Can’t you feel that we are battling everyday? Two forces which are always against each other tell us to do this and that. Good and evil forces are always there in our move. It’s up to us whether we follow good or the evil.

 

            War begins and ends in ourselves. If we’re trapped in such situation, let us humble down ourselves. Refuting will not help. To discern right from wrong will help us achieve and put world peace and cease fire into actions. Above all, we could only find peace in God. Isaiah 9:6d tells us that He is the Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.

...I made this one for our English Elective Class together with the other piece,"Friendship".

FRIENDSHIP

Nowadays, many people can tell that it’s difficult to find real friends. Now that everyone is facing a crisis, it’s really hard to give your full trust to someone. We have lots of friends, but can you name those who are real and genuine? Allow me to tell you a very good story about friendship.

 

            A video in Youtube entitled,” Christian, the lion” really moved me. This is a real story, a great friendship between humans and animals. It was year 1969 when John Rendall and Ace Berg saw a lonely and cramped cub. They decided to bring it home and a local vicar did agree. They named him Christian. Christian quickly became big for their grounds that they allowed to introduce him in Africa. A year later, John and Ace were informed that Christian already leads his own pride and would not recognize humans anymore. Undaunted, they still went to Africa to visit and check him. When they arrived, they asked natives if they have seen a lion guiding his own pride. Surprisingly, a lion walks towards the. It was Christian! He leaped over his friends. He really missed them a lot that he was kissing, hugging and licking their face.

 

            C.S. Lewis once quoted that friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy like art… it has no survival value; rather, it is one of those things that give value to survival. In the story, Christian was reintroduced in Africa and his friends were his inspirations for his survival. We can also find a real friend. It may not be a lion nor any other animal.

 

          Proverbs 18:24 says, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” We are living in a cruel world. We can hardly find friends that are true. All may leave, but there is one friend who’ll stay. A friend who could be my friend, your friend and everybody’s friend. He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. His name is Jesus Christ.
