THE HORRORS OF WAR

 

I was inspired to write this poem after watching a Netflix Movie named ATONEMENT.

I hope my readers will like and agree with it.

THE HORRORS OF WAR

Echoes of the cannon's roar fill the smoky air.

Children's laughter ceases as their lives are not spared.

Human bodies lie with silent eyes and empty stares.

Tyrants with loud voices shout, inciting fear.

*

Dreams are shattered beneath a rain of lead.

Fields of green grass turn blood red.

Men and women fall and the innocent cries out in vain.

No words can describe profound loss and pain.

*

Soldiers are maimed and mentally impaired for life.

They live with nightmares and memories of strife.

Bombs and grenades echo in their heads.

Images of death create a sense of lingering dread.

*

Military honours do not compensate for the horror and trauma.

Soldiers suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

War’s cruel grip constricts the heart

Homes and hearts are torn apart.

*

Let peace and love prevail among nations.

It’s time to end the killing and devastation.

Solve problems by amicable communication.

Let Humanity reign in every situation.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

 

CAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REPLACE HUMAN INTELLIGENCE?

Artificial Intelligence is a good thing in data management.

It enhances the speed, precision, and effectiveness of human efforts.

In businesses, AI techniques can be used to identify fraudulent transactions.

But Artificial Intelligence should not diminish the need for humans.

*

Robots can be useful as helpers, but can never replace God’s creation.

If God wanted robots to inhabit the earth He would have created them.

God is love and robots cannot love and honour Him.

He created male and female in His image to have fellowship with Him.

*

Wouldn’t it be nice if AI could set a timer for peace in the Middle East?

Or robots could assist firefighters fight wildfires in Los Angeles.

But they are artificial and created by man.

Irreplaceable human intelligence is required in conflict resolution.

*

God created human beings to cultivate the earth and protect the environment.

To be fruitful and multiply, and to worship Him.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,

That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. “

*

God wants us to have everlasting life in His Eternal Kingdom.

Put your trust in Christ and Christ alone for your salvation.

The Bible says by confessing that we believe that Jesus is the Son of God,

We can be confident that we have eternal life and will be forever with our Lord.

A GIFT WORTH CELEBRATING EACH DAY

 

At times, I reflect on the miraculous journey that brought me from near death to life. It’s a story I tremble to tell.

Nineteen years ago, in 2005, the words “malignant tumour” echoed through the walls of the doctor’s office in Trinidad. The hysterectomy was botched, and she could do nothing more. She said there were no oncologists in Trinidad, and I needed to go abroad if I had the finances.

Time seemed to stand still as I tried to understand the meaning of her words. Fear grasped me when I realized what she said. “Do you mean I have cancer?’ I uttered. My husband was stunned when he heard my words.

“I’m afraid so, I am so sorry.”

Everything seemed blurred as my husband helped me up from the chair to take me home.

We returned home, and in the quiet of my room, I knelt by my bed, tears streaming down my face. I poured out my heart to the One who gave his life for my salvation, the One who created the universe, and the One who knows every cell in my body.

 

I pleaded, “Jesus, you healed the woman with the issue of blood when she reached out and touched your garment. I cannot touch your garment, but I am appealing to your kind heart. Please heal me and take this burden from me.” A peace settled over me. It was as if His gentle hand cradled my frail body.

My husband walked into the room and said that he had called my daughter, Michelle, in Miami, and she made an appointment for me to see a renowned oncologist, Dr. Leo Twiggs, at the Sylvester Cancer Centre of the University of Miami Hospital. He had also already made flight arrangements for Monday, as the appointment was on Wednesday.

I found the strength to call the bank to request an increase in my credit card limit to cover all expenses. I also called my close family, who came across and prayed with me and my husband.

My husband had booked economy tickets, but by some miracle we were upgraded to first class.

At the Sylvester Cancer Centre, Dr. Twiggs was calm and very reassuring. He explained that, as I recently had surgery in Trinidad, he could not operate on me immediately, because the good cells may look like bad cells. He suggested three months of chemotherapy, then surgery, and three more months thereafter of chemotherapy.

Seven months later, after chemotherapy, scans, tests, and surgery, these words from the doctor were like music to my ears.  “You are cancer-free. Go home and enjoy the rest of your life.”

The medical team smiled and looked at me. I thanked them, but I knew the Great Physician had touched me. He had answered my prayers.

The scars are reminders of His grace. I lift my hands in praise, not just for my physical healing but also for the healing of my spirit.

I am a living testament to love that defies reason, to grace that surpasses understanding. Jesus healed me, and I will honour and praise His Holy Name forever.

Healing by the Almighty is a gift worth celebrating every day of my life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

 

Let’s ring out the old and ring in the new.

It’s time to step out of the familiar shoe.

The year 2024 proved to be a wonderful one.

Despite medical hurdles, it was lots of fun.

*

Let each day count in the New Year.

Start each day with a fervent prayer.

Formulate a plan and leave no room for regrets.

Make new memories that you’ll never forget.

*

Don’t allow discouragement to drown your dreams.

Stick to your New Year's resolutions by all means.

It may seem that life is slowly ebbing away.

Make the effort and remember hard work always pays.

*

I thank God for loving friends and family,

Who stood by my side consistently.

We do not know what lies ahead in the New Year.

Keep on approaching our Creator in prayer.

*

In 2025 I wish you many rich blessings,

Peace, joy, health, love, and continuous happiness.

May all of your dreams be fulfilled this year.

And may prosperity follow you and yours everywhere.
