A Christmas Of Love (1)...

Wake, Wake, Wake, me first
The jingle bells of Christmas burst
If for this awesome day I truly thirst
The birth of Christ is right and Just

Merry, Merry, Merry, let me find
In this season let smiles and love have me bind
Joy, Joy, Joy untold in my mind
As Christmas looms and other days now behind

Up, Up, Up, The hill
I will find some beautiful souls a gift
These is my solemn Christmas will
And that if I find another fallen heart I will lift

Whence, Whence, Whence, will I go
Where Christmas songs are not sang so
Trees, Minds and Smiles cast a glorious glow
The birth of Christ has indeed brought a wonderful show.

Our Lives Matter!!! (Black Lives Matter...)

Maybe its time to tell
Maybe its time to speak
Keeping silent degrades us
Making us feel unknown and less powerful
They are deforming our essence of existence
Our complexion is now becoming the crime
Maybe its time we get serious with our lives
By standing up to demand for what is right
Not allowing superior complex to weaken us
Our strength lies in our words
Our words comes from our heart
For so long we have watched our lives been toyed with
Too far long we stayed behind unclosed doors
Scared of unknown plagues that could harm us
Its time we speak without holding back
Its time we fight back before it gets dark
We will uphold our strength and fortitude
Then it will be said of us that we never back down
Our names will be carved on the stone of time
Read and re-read by generations to come
We never did the wrong they said we did

We did the right thing we knew we should do.

THEY LIED ABOUT ME!!!

A lot of things I didn't say
But they say I said it
Many things I didn’t do
They say I did it
There are more I don't know about
They made it known to you in a shout
I am not worried about them
I am not bothered about what they have told you
My concern is about you who knew me and still believed them
You listened to them; you trusted their words of shame
They reformed your mind to misunderstood me
Your thoughts when you see me is now negative
They made you seize your smile for me
Helplessly wanting to love you, they have made you hate me
I didn't do anything wrong
Neither did I say those things they say I said
Their intentions is to have you misled
I will not hold my truth back for you instead
It is you I know, it’s you I love
Whatever they say about me doesn’t come above

Psalms Of Penitence (2)


For where I have gone wrong
Let it not be where I pay for my wrongdoing
For the sins that are monstrous and I got away with
Let it not be the little ones I pay dearly for
Those lies I thought will put my life together
The lies I thought will shape my fame and fortune
Forgive me those sins that are addictive and seeming uncontrollable
Let not my future be a representative of my past
By the steps I have taken that is similar to it
Let not my present be a definitive conclusion of my wellbeing
If I am to pay for my iniquities
I will come to the world 10 times over and perish at each coming
Without atonement that will suffice for each entering
But I have called out in tearful agony
I have knelt down on ageless burning coal
That YOU should hear me
Hid my plea
Save my soul
I am way past my deliverance....
I am way past salvation
I am due for MERCY.

You're Worth More to Many...

Do you know who you are?
Have you even thought of those who want to be like you? 
Those who want to live like you, dress like you and think like you
There are some who smile because they see you
Some derive happiness in knowing you are still alive everyday
Some work so hard because you are a source of inspiration to them
Do you know how many are now helping others because you helped them?
Did you know who saw you and felt loved instantly 
Those who speak greatly of you without knowing your name
Some describe you by your smile and loving heart
You have made Angels direct some to your path
Some are now reaping fruit of love because of the seed of care you sowed in them

No!!! You don't know who you are to them
No!!... You don't know who they are

These are the people you know.... 

Those who call the beauty on your face ugliness 
Those who told you your clothes are now common and you try to buy new ones
The people who leave crumbs for you and make you feel you are worthless
The same people you think have something to give you
You associate yourself with disrespectful minority neglecting the fact that you are great to majority
The very same people who laugh with you at dawn, they make death plans for you at dusk 
Your standard does not lie with how big or successful someone else is
Your existence is enough to signify you are worthy of greatness
You Fear them and they can't give you the air you breathe

Your life is yours as long as it’s yours...
Be inspiring with it. Be genuine with it.

some still pray for the little you have
some still wish they have what you want
because they believe in your choices 
be real. be you.... you are worth more than what people say.

Psalms Of Penitence ... Part 1.

I want to fall down in your presence
I want to gravel at your feet
To feel you gracious unending fragrance
O LORD I want to have your mercy to meet
Your breathlessness is wholesome to my existence
I desire to worship you beyond what defines earth
You cannot change yet you change things that seem unchangeable
You cannot die yet you give life to what is dead
Enrich my soul; feed my righteousness with everlasting grace
My sin has overwhelmed me beyond tears
I have willingly neglected righteousness 
I seek no other means of life than to bury myself in your words
My heart is empty
My vision is cloudy
My goals are aimless
My dreams are void
My feet are lost
O LORD hear my cry
A relentless plea for revival
A sinful soul clamming for survival
I am drowning in the ocean of my regrettable past
I am waiting helplessly in the labyrinth of my non rewriteable present
O LORD hear my plea. Save me. 
My reproach is stench even unto me, let alone you.
I .... am ready to be saved. Hear me!!!! (nakedly weeping) ... 

To Be Continued....

Beyond Life.

Beyond unique
Unfound is the word that describes me
Beyond earth
Unknown is the grounds that fits me
I am crafted beyond the imaginations of the greatest sculptor
Beyond the greatest words that defines mankind
I am spelled by the awesomeness of greatness
Every line that lies on each of my finger
Took a thousand years to make
Every strand of hair on my head was tendered to by time and art
Beyond what your mind believed is beauty
Is the word that soothes only the opening of my smile
What is proven to be a lifetime of happiness by man
Is the very same happiness that is felt in a second in my heart
What has been said to condemn my existence by man
Has been refined, reused for glory to reborn the same men that said it
I have knelt down to whisper jokes to Heaven while others prayed
God has a sense of Humour; He smiled through the winds and waves
He laughed through the strike of thunder and lightning
You see: I am not your average minded man ungrateful
Beyond what is of this earth is what makes me fruitful.
Beyond this life is my love
Beyond this love , is my peace.

Silence Our Survival

Silence is survival
Those who spoke up
We attended their funeral
Those who look up
We question their countenance
Brethren, Silence, I regret to say, Is survival.
Those who kept quiet
We see them tomorrow night
Those who are granted access to the corridor of power
Come out to tell us we should be calm
Everything is under control
In their pockets we hear the jingling of coins
Brethren, Silence, shameful of me to say, is survival
A friend of mine said ‘’too many keyboard activist’’
The revolution we wage is from our electronic device
I wonder what you will tell you children’s children
When they ask you where you were when The Country was failing
I know what i will tell mine, on my dying bed
Children, silence is survival.
We are here today because we kept quiet.
WE ALL KEPT QUIET!!!
WE ALL WATCHED!!!
*fading voice* we made Silence our survival

Let Me Grow, Find me Home

Oh! Let me grow
Please let me bloom
I have my heart unwrapped for education
Not this selfless, mindless humiliation
Don’t take me from my home
Where i still weep for what I am yet to know
Don’t take me from my sisters with whom i play tic tac toe
I am fresh out of play grounds;
 Mother is not even done with my growing yet
How will my fragile life cope with your act...?
My dreams are scary enough already
I can’t even tell mother what i dreamt of
Don’t make my existence a living nightmare
I have painted pictures of rainbow over my books
While reading them has brought me endless joy

Let me live, let me grow... i am just a child

I am just a child. 

It Is Time.

Maybe its time to tell
Maybe its time to speak
Keeping silent degrades us
Making us feel unknown
Deforming our essence of existence
Maybe its time we get serious with our lives
By standing up to do what are rights
Not allowing superior complex to weaken us
Our strength lies in our words
Our words cometh from our heart
For so long we have watched our lives toyed with
Too far long we stayed behind unclosed doors
Scared of unknown plagues that could harm us
Its time we speak without holding back
Its time we fight before it gets dark
We will uphold our strength and fortitude
Then it will be said of us that we never back down
Our names will be carved on the stone of time
Read and re-read by generations to come
We never did the wrong they told us to do

We did the right thing we knew we should do.

Responsible For Yourself

The human mind crafted with selfless beliefs
Beliefs that gave it a choice of its own
A choice that became a decision
Decision that turned into reality
Regret and reproach seldom apprehends our decisions
I feel sorry for those who gave advice to those minds
‘’it’s your fault i turned out this way’’ blames fired on both barrels
‘’you told me to chose what i never wanted’’
Responsibility becomes an emptiness filled with darkness
A darkness that comforts the mind of the blamer
Thinking his mind would have done better judgement call
For the choices it once had, for the options it once possessed

You gave way to what happened to you
Your foolishness was wisdom to you then
Your trust for another human to make your choices for you
Happened to be the gullibility of you been incapable
Not fit enough to wield responsibility...
You were stripped of the captaincy of your own heart
And handed the role of a janitor in your own life
Your incapacity to control your state of mind
Turned you into a viewer while someone else fine tunes your life for you

 Each of your tears is one night long of a nightmare
You will not wake up to reality until u control your dreams
Until you take responsibility and accept that what happened to you is no one’s fault
But yours and your choices that led to your decision.
Wake up and live on, fight on ... love on
Your heart break is your state of mind
If you have moved on and wise up let that be for you alone.
Correction to your mistakes shouldn't toughen you up
Correcting your past shouldn't make your life a military zone
You are alive for a second chance not revenge plan
You have the right to take control the right to create a new you.

Missing in life but not in Heart (Flight MH370)

Where else to look
Our souls, our minds, our conscience
They say the world is a small place
Where then in it is a big plane
With hearts united across the world
We are running out of tears
Our minds is filled with increasing fears
Prayers are now letters with no postal stamp
Sent to heaven but sank in the depth of the ocean
Where else to look where else to search
Our past, our ways, deep unknown
Endless array of gruesome thoughts
If could be handled but which could be fought
Time and time again each brick that lays a foundation of hope
Sadly breaks and turns into another disappointing clueless slope
The smiles of those helpless souls on board
That can’t be described with ordinary words
I never knew man could still be subjected to a mindless mystery
Where science seems a year old beside long term history
What crime is there to say goodbye to a loved one
What sin is there to wait for arrival of the long gone?
What goes up nature proves must come down
Flight MH370 we are waiting for you in town

Our thoughts of you have increasingly grown
