I Am Not You and You Are Not Me

I always want to be good and not bad
But sometimes I have to be bad
Each and every one of us know what is right
But how do we execute the right?
That’s is why I am not you

I always want to be white and not black
But sometimes I have to be grey
So you don’t have to judge me
Circumstances of thing demanded for it
That is why we are not the same

If people are going to be the same
Since genesis God wouldn’t have created male and female
We would have just be the same
Why can’t everyone be like me?
No, it’s not possible!

Universe will be boring and monotonous
And there won’t we be variety
That is why we are not the same
If you can’t take me for whom I am
I bet you, you can’t find another person like me

Because we are not the same
We are different, so that we can complement each other
Just like bread and beans
I’m not saying you shouldn’t ‘correct me’
But know that we can never be the same

I am not you and you are not me
Because my name is different from yours
I am not you and you are not me
Because my age is different from yours
I can be introvert and you can be extrovert

I am not you and you are not me
Because my face is not the same as yours
I am not you and you are not me
Because my voice is not the same as yours
Then why do you expect our character to be the same?

The best, we can do is to harmonize each other
That is why I need you and you need
That is why I need your bread and you need my beans
That is why I need your love and you need my peace
That is why I need your courage and you need my strength

That is why I need your music because I can dance
That is why I need your prayer and you need my fasting
That is why I’m say this  because you need to listen
I am not you and you are not me
But we can synchronize each other!

Towards the Land

In arcade of rigorousness
that brought the use of scrupulousness
walking in the valley of rectitudeness
with a pure mind of purity

which truncate not, witting truthfulness
to a steadfast adherence of walking uprightness
showing the way to an unfailing trustworthiness
in the great mind of Chastity

road to life for righteousness
with moral ethics of great sense
truthful footstep of Kosher dispense
the land that makes a good person’s life easy

 the real estate of deed in geniuses
giving the pathway to a man of faithfulness
bringing the concord of a sincere hearts to the apex of wholeness
connecting the plainness and condor in harmony

location where everyone should be and dwell in virtuousness
through the conduit of righteousness
gathering station for the board of trustees
discussing on the role of decency

Watch! insincere hinkers will scorn you because of your uprightness
but be of good cheer in your doings
for the light shatters every plan of the scorners
this is not just word but an homily

that’s what it takes to get to the promise land of trusty
if you are not on the road yet, quickly change your theory
but if you are one the road already
Welcome! to the land of HONESTY

Oh Arise

Oh Arise! 
the city with wonderful natural resources
country where all are loyals 
Country where peace and unity are our watchwords 
leaders are serving in good manners 
masters and servants are truthful to themselves 
in seeing each other as brothers and sisters 
children future are care for in parents' hands 
fundamental human rights lives
country where thou gripe corruptions
education is the greatest for all of us 

Oh Arise! 
suddenly you become a changer
country where no one wants to be truster 
what a quarter! 
servant is not trustworthy to master
helpless is useless to the helper
parent is not faithful to the shaver 
thy children are not surer 
everyone now become a gamer 
when will the future be brighter?
corruption reignth in thy pastoral 

Oh Arise! 
thy lie is thy precision 
peace and unity is not fashion
fundamental human rights in consumption 
shedding of blood is thy ambition 
not even planning for the next generation
frivolous has taken our education
to be educated is not for misappropriation
different between truth and lie is truth use you intuition
let us try to be positive exception
arise to the positive direction
Oh Arise! to peace and justice oh ye nation
Oh Arise!

Chuckle I Say Chuckle

Why thou Frown?
Express you mirth
Your pleasure, derision
nervousness with an audible vocal expulsion
don't at expense of others

either for pleasure or for intimidation
try to make someone happy
Chuckle, I say Chuckle
if you think it's hard
get the best medicine

Comedy, I guess
the situation is not forever
rather it's gonna be end one day
be happy and optimistic
not only your face smiling

also, your mind
never try to be vicious
never try to be barbarous
nor try to be vicious
Sadist is not allowed

try not to be moody
always be cheery.

Vrai Foi I

Forth, backward he espies
Soaked in the state of melancholy
Dwindle out of joy
Looking sluggish somber, sulky

Seems fidelity is gone
affiliated with termination cum uncertainty
baffled of what tomorrow will behoove
pondering on apparel and edibility

Thither, I apparition
seeing him gloomy dejected
now I began to pronounce
an elongated vocalization

all you need is a little faith
unstoppable force ever
elastic, static never
obliterate all cavity

nodding in affirmation
…but still jumbled.

Beelzebub

Supremacy permitted to carry out his work
greatly loved by heavenly beings
disaffection spirit, ripened into revolt
once again, get caution of the supremacy
thou refused to be cautioned 

sophistry and fraud pioneer
hard to discern, genesis deceiver
supreme neither deceit nor flatter
that, he imbibed
apparently, waged dishonour was highly honoured

veering rectitudness cum fidelity
delve the frail of humanity
getting men similitude you 
the thing himself, unmasked deceiver 
why is thy path zigzager

manufacturer of sin and his clang
extirpate spirit of rebellion
modified the given tenet
against divine government
nature of sinful nurture

come on!  you longing to rule? 
yeah! 
no obligation, rule the caliber of your sinful nature 
forget not the allegiance of God's creature
rest upon a conviction of his justice

we are all acquainted where you will end
heavenly infernos
peerless you, with your clans
caliber of sinful nature
tainted sinister folks

ponder not, am not a stakeholder in your entity
not single I,  but multiple dextral folks
solid rock I stand, not to be betake
prepare, zillions depart thy darkful cage
enter lightful space

... the hour has come to liberate the world! 
divine inferno is thy ward
collectively citizenry crowd
greatest controversy ever seen
black snake under the black grass

Oh! death knell of yours was rung
Haaa! "it is finished"

Freedom From Condemnation

She struggled frantically as she was yanked from the bed
Hauled into the street straight to the temple, no match for her rabble size
With bare foot struggling to find their footings
Hammered fear, cold deafeningly in her heart in commotion
Ha! She knew what is coming, she has sinned!

As she had experience of another woman stoned by scornful mob
She never imagine herself in the same fate, set not for adultery
A terrible mistake to meet him alone, she knew
Too late, no room for escape, capital punishment
Price for adultery, accordance to Moses law; God’s justice

She smells the fragrance, precinct; dragged like a rag doll
It is the temple! That housed the bronze altar
Where her father assured of Blessings as a growing child in Jeru
Halt! Religious mobs stopped
Unto the feet of who they called teacher; chief executioner

Let the trial begin! Shivering uncontrollably,
Bowed and covered her face with her hair in shame
Sentenced to death by stoning
Then, the encounter begin, first salvo from the accuser
He said “Teacher; she was in the act”, the very act

Moses said stone, what do you say? As she was anticipated
Further humiliation, except a deafening silence
Is the teacher deaf? Citing via corner of her eyes
He stoop down and write on the ground
Should we stone her? The accusers poised, ready to shoot

Arise, teacher with a majestic voice, articulating word
With perfect blend of authority et compassion
“Stone her, if you are without sin”, he said
As he stooped down again and continue to write
Who is this teacher? She bewilder by his voice, I adulterer, sinful

Condemned, bitten, not him from small village of Nazareth?
The healer, lover of sinner, is he defending me?
Who is this man? She frightened on her mind
Thud, Thud, Thud; sound of her salivation
Accusers stones fell impotent on the ground, mob dispersed

Full of Love et compassion, as she lifted her eyes unto his face
Where are your accusers and condemners?
She had not mattered, all that mattered, warranted her death
Accusers gone, rescuer speaking as if she mattered
“No one Lord”, a grateful response from her

Now LORD and not teacher as the Pharisees addressed
He wasn’t an ordinary teacher but the Saviour, rescuer
“Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more”
Words she can never forget, as she recounts 

Law of Moses, God’s Justice
Grace of Jesus, God’s righteousness
A re-written commandment of law
He was Judged, condemned, we were forgiven, accepted
Aye! Neither will I condemn you, GO AND SIN NO MORE!

Free Indeed

Never seen a day light for quondam
impediment in abdicate quitdaim
auctioning what thinks best incessantly
believing it’s a good stomping realm
eatoboree and drinkoboree in deterioration with chum

struggling in all his days with felicity
is there another life better than? This in quandary
on that stunch day exert
in getting what to eatoboree and drinkoboree as customary
a step beyond his terrene, mistakenly


Alas! Sees the day light
back to his terrene and step out in plaudit
seeing same thing, no surrogates
moving around, the different is bright
on himself, passes arraignment

A step out of my zone is what I need these days
exhausting all these pasts in lapses
believing he has best domain ever in history
not knowing, it is the best in disguise
was that life or is this life? He grills

such is life, I parry
someone’s house is another person’s poultry
how much will it cost? He grum
the ransom has been likely
not there; here is the liberty

liberate the paid ransom
here I will stay till eternity
exultant in seeing the light
enjoying without no constrains
summoning his crony

freedom is premium!

Gentle Fervor At Rest

A pharmacon was not be, God saw you confiscating drowsy

He mantled him in his loving arms and whispered come with me 

The Family has minus one gentle fervor and heaven one angel more

Fathomless in my heart  your memory is kept of one i admired and shall never obliterate 

Oh! The duress of life; death which has taken you away and impeded me to see you no more 

And has made a veracious soul at composure 

You fell asleep without goodbye but memories of you will always stay

Thank you for the foothold,  care and love

I will miss you!

From Calvary

Purer and whiter than snow, thicker than water
protecting His people from the plans of the doer
if not for the one thing I wonder
for the love of the working ways wonder

where will you and I be for the past years 
from age to age, years to years?
performing great job for the righteous
unto those that know His ways

cleanse away all predicament
with a genuine heart of commitment 
guiding for the future betterment
putting the antagonist into an open embarrassment

have you been to cleanse by it?
Cos it is great to experience such work of it
the one that freely flows from Calvary home
that can never dry till years to come
