If I Have a Chance

IF I HAVE A CHANCE

If I have a chance, I will turn all my tears into joy
If I have a chance, I will run to the wilderness in search of gold
If I have a chance I will climb the mountain that never ends
If I have a chance, I will build a mansion for the aged needy and the poor
If I have a chance I will fight for the weak and the weary
But because of love, fear, stress and poverty, these chances cannot come into existence.
But I know chances do not come by chance. 
But for your chances to come you need to open a chance in your life.

Listener's Favourite

LISTENER’S FAVOURITE

I joined the K’s and the C’s but did not sound perfect.

They devoured the particles of C and K.

The majority in A’s was overcast by the blue eyed Z’s 

And forever the alphabet interchanged with the numerals as a submission to the shrine.

My Plague

It is burning beneath my cloth
It has the ability to plunge down the the isle of Patmos 
For all my life I have seen no man coming out to discuss it.
This plague is destructive, abusive, and damaging to my spirit, soul and body
There is no cure only this biblical inscription “confesses your fault one to another and pray 
one to another that ye may be healed”
I long to delete it from my outer man. 
O how I longed!
Even the Syrian purest water was unable to tear it down
The liar and the accuser of the brethren use this plague to despise my faith
For many a time has I shone it, but to no avail
Therefore remember “one another” slogan
This my plague killed Onan 
This plague can kill you so beware.

My Status Life

I want you to know there is love in my ignorance
Care in my hiding
Patience in my distance
I've been there, it cuts deep, it hurts so bad, I can fit in your shoes 
I chose to egg you on with dem laughing emoji not to bruise you
I sent the laughing emoji to hide your scar
My only wish is for you to avail yourself get healed
If only you would lemme
I don't claim to be a practitioner 
But my daddy is a healer,
If only you would let me in
If only you would open the closed door, if only you would turn to see the radiant and vibrant light behind you,
If only you would allow me 
If only you would lend me your eyes
If only you accept to see with mine
I will show you 
I will teach you what my dad teaches me 
If only you would let me in
If only you would let me close
