Resurrection of The Prince Within
And when the prince has toured the world
In search of the glory that he had lost,
Led astray by the illusions of his ego,
He comes to the threshold of reality
Always and ever waiting for his knock.
And when the prince abandons his ego,
And in humility accepts his fallacies,
He unburdens his mind of its illusions
And open in him a room for revelation
Of that which has hitherto been in him.
And thus in humbling of the little self,
The prince is exalted to higher realms,
Where he shall unite in identification,
With the true self and essence he truly is,
Always have been and always will be.

CHRISTMAS IN WINTER
When I woke up this morning
To the grace and embrace
Of cold sleet and draught
Sipping through the morning
When I looked far afield
And lo the grasses buried in snow
How deep for them I felt
Hapless lot buried below the field.
This morning the wind blew overhead
Nature danced in a semi-cicular glee
Etching smiles on thousand faces
Making lives grow like new-cob heads.
On this winter christmas morning
The cold breeze blows happiness
On faces smiling with cheers
As happiness gives way to mourning

YULETIDE
By Oliver Mbamara
In New York, the meter-maid
Will hardly ever write a ticket,
And the cops will hardly bother,
Except only for a flagrant crime.
In Africa, everyone is gladly rich,
Calling on all to share with them
Their meal and tales of adventure,
Through the year so encountered.
Everywhere, all friends and folks,
Unseen for sometime hug and kiss,
Sharing sweet smiles of happiness,
And the gladness of a joyful season.
By the corner, kids play and dance,
Making friends of mixed generations,
Building grounds for future friendship,
Good for another loving revival.
In the air, it stays and smells,
As happiness over sadness reigns,
With cheers and charity all spreading,
Painful incidents are lightly treated,
Joy is the feeling, world over,
Forgiveness gives in great abundance.
Charity lives in generous hearts,
Salutations greet, It is Christmas!
