St Patrick's Day
The absurdity of changing traditions
From Britain he came in the past
Who brough on a change that would last
He converted the pagan
But fell short of Canon
So we celebrate by raising a glass!
I originally wrote this on the bus to work for St Patrick's Day, and only realised today that I hadn't actually published it. Oops, my bad...
Ironically, the 'Patron Saint of Ireland' was originally English or Welsh, from Roman ancestry. How's that for absurd?

Whoever tries to erase your existence will turn into ashes..
Whoever tries to erase your existence will turn into ashes.. You are the flame, You are the fire that will reduce them all to ashes.. Whatever destination you want, You will be able to reach it only by fighting.. There will be lakhs of troubles on the way, you will beat them all.. Whoever tries to erase your existence will turn into ashes.. You are the flame, you are the fire that will reduce them all to ashes.. Why do you think that you are alone, You will not be able to reach there.. When God himself is with you, then where will you be left alone?
