A Man-Created Warming of Mother Earth. – By Noor R. Rahim The devastating ecological changes that humans encounter today Are just the result of the humans’ avaricious and ambitious weighs Always throwing caution to the wind and putting it off for another day Comfort foremost being the mindset without thought to what may lay   In his/her greed for material gains there’s nothing withheld in the foray The whole World appears to follow this disastrous concept, so to say In boosting the National Wealth do they indulge and encourage The exploitation of Mother Natures’ assets to fulfil the National usage   It was in “Nature Studies” we were taught The results of the ravages on the ecology of the land Would bring to the humans untold distraught Summing it: “Man will destroy Nature & Nature will destroy Man”   Does one really think for a moment the felling of these ...

As Long as there is Breath – by Noor R. Rahim     It is indeed an old age saying – “As long as there is breath – life goes on”; and as time goes by we do go through various phases in our lives, some short lived and yet others long lived. However, how you manage the various phases of life is dependent on each individual and his/her will to live a healthy and safe life. Survival is what it is. “Too much of anything is good for nothing” is the oft used adage that “pops-up” in my mind; and I am sure you would have seen such over indulgences – which in turn leads to various health issues and even financial debacles and its’ subsequent effects on humans, in your life time. Though Sir Isaac Newton’s theory on the “Laws of Motion” is for the study of Physics; ...

Expressions in the Subway – by Noor R. Rahim For want of something to do or ponder My eyes stray around the subway coach There’s nothing of note or topic for search There’s only the screech of metal that tears the silence asunder   But, you can sure see the expressions on the face of the commuter Some pleasant, some defiant and a few boorish It’s just a potpourri of masks that make the dish But all in all it makes you wonder   Why do some look grumpy and some grumpier? Yet some with a look of no approach Unless you wish to seek their wrath Then go ahead and make the blunder   To find a happy face is so much harder For the one you seek is not always a cinch It’s just a baby in its mother’s clutch Giving you a smile that’s a clincher Yet ...

Enroute & In Retirement By Noor R. Rahim   There I stand in the shadows of old age The deepening shadow casting a disturbing message That very soon I shall reach my retiring age The spirit may be willing but the body shows slippage Very often do I hear my co-workers’ loud message “You lucky guy” – But this in no way does encourage One who needs to keep his body & soul in bondage To the lifelong “Work-Life” habits and challenge(s) But as time goes on; the inkling of retirement comes of age The reality sinks in; with retirement bringing in the work stoppage Most would say how fortunate I am at this merge No more worries; and the freedom to whatever I wish to indulge But the difficulties arise; with time on your hands and its’ passage Yes seven Sundays in a week has its’ advantages & disadvantage(s) ...

Cricket – A game for the Handicapped? By Noor R. Rahim Travelling from the Airport to their Beach Hotel two Elderly American ladies saw many people gathered around radios and Television Sets enroute to their Hotel. The crowds were very vociferous with dancing, flag waving and generally appearing happy in a carnival like atmosphere. Once at the Hotel they enquired if there was a Festival being celebrated as they had seen people on the road making merry. The receptionist explained that today was the “Final Test Cricket Match” against the visitors from “down under”. With a win today we would sweep them away and “bury” them, as we had won two of the three already. The festive mood in the streets is because we have already won the series. After refreshing themselves they strolled out to the Beach Cabana with their drinks and Transistor Radio to take in the sun ...
