Education My Motive

Abreast I am.
committed I am
So why not with me?
Passion and vision you demand.
Seeing less from them you crush out.

The waving feather settles firmly on you.
Tasting your fruitfulness are doctors.
Serving them with you are teachers.
Floating on top are engineers
The juicy part of you abound.

Them mourn no more
Because you are alive.
Stress becomes the past
Because you renovate.
Morals you demand 
And motive you serve.

Calling you procrastinator
Are who in your absence.
Fighting for your greatness
Are who knows your accent.

Your mission of filling orphaned heart
With happiness is aboard your minds.
You barge through bane 
To camouflage poor with rich.

Just in time
You came to my presence.
Our camaraderie is animated
With the spirit of our own strength.

Oh!
How defined you are to me.
You are called the future.
Yes indeed you are.

The Fatherless Cry

Shame was simply seen after two fuse in.
Father! I called aloud for heaven's sake.
Sorrowed tears adhere to path with no chain.
Born days passed and shared were chocolate cakes.

Mounts couldn't reply, then anger aroused.
More often, callous is that agony.
Little one grew up with one special need.
Joy crushed in pieces from the balcony.

Perhaps no connection from the voices,
Nor dainty affinity living  him.
Now antagonism is little one's choice
Because of daddy's tiny common whim.

Amazingly pen's ink rinsed confussion.
Amazingly Mom's love showed impression.

Prayer For Protection

Oh Lord!
Come to my presence.
I cry with my wounded voice.
Heal me out,hear me out.
Darkness and confusion defeats
My soul in your absence.

Here I am seeking for your presence.
Cover me with the blood of your son Jesus,
He who you sent to die for our sin.
I cry out to you my Lord,
Bring joy,happiness and greatness in my heart,
For you are the one who rescued Israel from Egypt.

Shield me with your holy and merciful hands.
Seeking you is my heart which does not knows the truth
And stepping slowly are my foot 
Which doubt to take the next step.
You are the Almighty God who created Heave and Earth.
So help me on this journey of life.

You knew me before I was born
To be the child of my mother and father.
Make me live on your own will and follow your commandments.
Purify all the ways where my foot are about to step on.

Peace be with he who praise and pray to you.
Bring joy in the deserted hearts 
All in the mighty name of Jesus.
AMEN

I'Ve Had Enough

Like an ugly lion I roared
Like a cute baby I smiled
Tried to scare Zillions,
Tried to fool dullards.
But everywhere I'd always carried sweet cute face
But my smile was so fake could match Chinese lace 

I roared but all said "ncoow.. sweet little thing"
I went home to come back with a smile,
But they roared instead, "you rat good for nothing".

They ain't mistaken, I'm no Lion!
They ain't mistaken, I'm no smiley!
But I'm afraid to take off my mask,
Not for my sake but theirs.

They are my brothers, my blood sisters.
I don't wanna scare jealousy out of them.
I really love them wholeheartedly

But since they showed in many ways not to care,
I think that would make me a fool to care.
Yaay, I cared, I loved and of course I died for them.
But that was enough, enough to feed 5000.

I'm pulling off the strings, because there's no use.
I know envy will kill millions but hey...I don't care.

I'm just enough, to my greatest ability.
BEWARE...I'm mask off now...

He Stole Her Dream

She gave up all of her beautiful dreams
And couldn't hesitate to quit all games

She gave faster run for all kinds of fun
And ended up having it until noon

She wanted to be a respected Queen
But that silly dude gave her handsome twin
 
She struggled years alone trying to feed
Standard eight really missed fluent read

A tennis went right straight out of her field
And then she merely thought of all pure gold

She got deeply stressed and severe headache 
That she never stand a second to fake

Then Suicide was a current mission
But pity curled rope had no real tension

The Woman Tight To My Heart

The feeling to write about her I couldn't escape.
The atmosphere she posses I take as cape.
Her stern voice coached me to cry for some reasons.
I'm always in miss, for I'm mostly away for some seasons
Her touch grew me marvellously.
Her Love flourishes me vigorously.
Yes...
She was and still a woman tight to my blood.
Her patience for me is much powerful could stop a flood.
She is a Grandma I'll never sacrifice for thirty pieces.
She is always here to model me to be one amongst Aces.
Yes... 
she's the woman always next to my heart

We Gave Credits

I went with you to watch you perform
"You're really good at these" I said and applauded
Well, since you are a young man full of talents,
I even went to your football game.
You scored...
And I blew the Vuvuzela to my last breathe.

"Wow you really good at numbers,
an expert in swimming".
I couldn't lie you were very good at all.
Your medals I kissed,your trophies I polished.

But do you sometimes wonder what am I good at?
Tell me did you think God were unfair to some of us?
What did you think i used the pen for, huh?
For recording your scores?

Well, since you didn't bother to ask,
Let me brush it to your face.

Just to tell you about my pen while you still wonder.
It is my magical spade, deeply it digs into my heart.
I mean,it's my Life support machine.
The bridge,bond or joint...
whichever way you wanna call it
But to me is the strongest joint
Between my physical and spiritual being.
It's an engine driving me away from the Netherlands
In a nutshell it's my heaven.

This very pen praised your trophies and medals,
It inked every accomplishment you ever felt proud of.
Yes we both gave credits to you,
But have you ever bothered to...?

A Heavy Pen

I feel like writing,
Writing for my people.
But the pen is heavy,
All filled with thickness,
An ink so black,
Blue sometimes!

Manpower it's a pre.
To a non writer it's a stone,
A rock not so easy to roll,
Not so easy to comprehend.

I feel like writing,
writing for my people!
But the desk is so high,
Higher than a tower could reach

I feel like...?

The I In Him

Integrity could be,
But dishonesty it is,
Maybe Intelligence,
Also understanding the worst!

The "it" could impel him,
But he's strong for.
Idiocy Baffles,
But in a sec he had immunity.

Igneous is his love,
Impassiveness is his pride
And imperial is his soul.
Though his flesh is impotent,
he could give life
by planting his seed.
and...?

Dear Mommies

I can sacrifice for you,
For more reasons than one.
You were always there...
Always there to catch me 
on my fall.
Always there to hug me 
While I cry.

I can sacrifice for you,
For more pains than joy.
Because I was void,
But you filled me...
Filled me with goods!

I can instantly be your Jesus
Just to complete you.
Because Mama you...
You defined me!
At some points 
You were my God.
You chose me as your angel,
Not to control me.

You deserve all...
All that you planted in me.
I mean all...
All that Satan couldn't trick on!
I was un-aged  and helpless.
But you...
You Mama...?
