Hypocrites

Hypocrites.
They are demonic figures who wear a façade.
Their factitious smile eclipses their evil deeds and purposes.
They are recreants who lack the strength to speak the truth.
They are hollow beings who lack self-respect.
They are venomous creatures.
They flatter their adversaries to their face and bad-mouth them behind their back.
They are a disgrace to  humanity.
It is dubious whether their true colors will ever be exposed.
Our existence in this filthy world amidst the hypocrites is suffocating.
The seeds of hypocrisy should be crushed.
May God give them enough strength to break off the mask of hypocrisy
and make them capable of wearing a genuine smile.

The Eternal Love 

The old man gazed into the still eyes of his beloved 
who was lying on her death bed. 
He was struck by an epiphany when he realized that years ago on the same date, 
their dear ones had showered blessings and  confetti  upon them on their wedding day. 
He was overwhelmed with emotion when he realized that 
the promise to grow old together had been fulfilled. 
He avidly desired to embrace her for the one last time. 
But the very next moment, he realized that 
she would not be able to feel his touch anymore. 
As he stared at his wife’s old white wrinkled face, 
he fell in love with her once again. 
He planted a kiss on her forehead and dropped a tear, 
and waited for the seraphim to take her to the heavenly abode 
and  accompany her beyond the sphere.
