Set aside all my worries and fears,
Calm my heart and to your beat.
Keep me from thinking I’m all alone,
No one accomplishes anything alone.
Remind me of my accomplishments,
I’ve succeeded in so many areas of life.
I pressure myself to get it right alone,
Polar opposite of the actual truth.
Help me to remain calm and trust,
I have faith in your power and grace.
I’m leaning into Philippians 4:6-7,
Trusting that you will guard my heart.
If I stay focused on the task in front,
And don’t stress my desires.
It will not be too late,
To change courses and renew my mind.

I wallow and sit
My heart a pit
A seedless thing
What do you bring
Can you change
How life is strange?
Can you show
How life will go?
Will you free
Me from the hatred I see?
Will you bind
And change my mind?
These little glimpses
That good accomplishes
A broken heart
Tore me apart
Love healed me so
Till I let go
Will you show
Me how to glow
To be the best
Leave the rest
Take my hand
Help me withstand
The changing tides
Both sides
With no divide
Inside
Show us now
So we can allow
To let love in
And begin
To be the best
Let go of the rest

Injustice, corrupted, barbaric laws
Created and put into place for coloured men
A policy that is crocked and bent from ancient times
Policies and Procedures in place to justify the wrongdoings of privileged men
Another form of captivity to eradicate and eliminate a human race
There’s no such justice for coloured men
Laws were created only for the privileged men
Their actions no matter how barbaric or cruel there are,
Are justified by ancient and new-age laws
There is no justice for the coloured man
Every law was written to aid, justify and support privileged men
Thank the Creator for Heavenly laws that outweigh all Earthly laws
Rules and regulations designed and put into place
For all earthly gods to abide by and follow
If Yah says, Yes no man can say, No
For his report and word accomplishes what it’s meant to do
Earthly laws were not created for the coloured man
But were put into place to justify and aid privileged men
The only justice that aids and supports
A coloured race is Godly laws that are fair and just
Thank you, Father, for interceding for all coloured people
In these violent and horrific times.

Consider the folly of anger
Recessed it brings on depression,
An emotion that spells danger
Often avoided with concession.
Infantile behavior so disgusting
Adults ought to know better,
In a flash can destroy trusting
Making its victim a debtor.
Slow to anger – a fine motto
With practice it can be overcome,
It generally accomplishes zero
Never indulge the troublesome.
Find better ways to be consoled
Whenever you are displeased,
Simply learning to stay in control
Until your foul temper is eased.

Faith is not a feeling, it's trusting and believing if God Yahweh said it, that's exactly what He will do. His word holds power and it accomplishes what it set out to do. Many times I have felt I wouldn't make it through, but He opened the doors of heaven, and my blessings came pouring through. What God Yahweh does is not defined by how I feel, but upon His Holy Word. The faith of a mustard seed can move mountains, and part a troubled sea. Faith over feelings that's the way for me.

The onset of construction
Left a gaping excavation.
They built a chain link fence
Around the hole.
Once the footers and foundation
Were sufficiently established
A dump truck load of gravel
Did its thing.
I have faith the task
Will be accomplished.
I have hope the work
Can be efficiently done.
But until I shovel
All that broken stone
Into the trench surrounding the slab,
This jobsite won’t be up to building code.
Of the virtues,
Faith, hope, and charity,
The only one that requires
Personal action
And accomplishes anything
In this world is charity.
Faith and hope are mere freeloaders
That only look after themselves.

The Word
A word spoken in due season
straight from the Mouth of God,
will feed the souls of His children
and in their hands it becomes a mighty rod.
The rod, a symbol of authority
to rule over the enemy of our souls,
to crush and defeat his army
is one of our major goals.
Using then this Word
we pull down the devil’s holds and uproot him from within,
to set our sisters and brothers free from his grasp
and help them to conquer all of their sins.
Just one, “Saith the Lord”
makes the demons tremble and give up and run,
they, knowing He watches over His Word to perform it
spoils all of the devils fun.
So, we need to read His Word and hide
it and fully pack our heart with, Thus saith the Lord,
as He is watching over the Word to make sure
it accomplishes what it is set out to do, and so much more!

Unexpected or Unwanted
There arrival were always unexpected
With a string of curses never too far behind,
From the host, feeling particularly dejected,
Yet who’s always been able to have them wined,
And out the door without feeling affected.
With all that said they were quite kind,
Just chatty,
Simply put, they said anything in their mind,
Even so, they were never ratty,
But sometimes they were quite opined.
There visits were always quick,
They came, they laughed, they left,
And when they finally left it appeared to some as a trick,
Yet, alas, they were not that deft,
For something quite so sick.
The conversations were always filled with the same useless chatter,
Filled with their bottomless fake promises,
Where they reminisced on the days that we’re better,
Without ever asking themselves what that accomplishes,
And before you’re able to say see you next time they scatter.

Relished thoughts
remain in cheerful hearts
not ridden by storms;
they protect them always
be it pain, or be it joy:
then, can spring signify life
in some inconceivable aspect
and promises excitement
for all and each one,
not walking the extra mile
and trip on stones that annoy?
Ah, avoiding strides accomplishes none!
Do false lovers deceive
and take what's not theirs?
Do their empty promises
bring delusion or allusion...
when hastiness aggrieves
and they think it's transitive
to meditate on a substitution?
Unpleasant thoughts darken the mind,
they spread a veil of opaque certainty
across the eyes that can't see with clarity...
that one needs to achieve something grand
by discerning that spring signifies life in some inconceivable aspect,
who can assert that all seasons are unchangeable and perfect?

And what you we're put on

He speaks of the soul that must,
laid aside all emotions and its dust.
That balance which cannot be shaken,
by misfortunes and its taken.
Before one can see the world of magic,
realizing its virtues ecstatic.
For that within to become an outer gateway,
the peace in itself as determined pave way.
Windows of the soul and solution door,
threshold that provides always more.
The borrowed nature of sublimity,
caught in loving caring spirituality.
The heart hears it and the soul dances,
strength in humility advances.
The exaltation of human soul is divine,
a time and space at hand design.
The wizard climbs through space,
and accomplishes in time at place.
The ever moving life as nature,
providence glorious moments labor.

Free from inhibitions
No more shyness to prohibit
The spirit’s intensity
From bringing extreme
Intimacy
Free from embarrassment
A shining example of passion
Awakening the power
Of sensuality’s caress across
Hearts
Free from any hang-ups
That might have been reasons
For never letting go and
Allowing abandon to capture
Informality
Free from the rose blush
Of shame, bringing doubts
Reflections of anxiety and fear
Conclusions that harbor worrisome
Reservations
Free from awkwardness
Without humiliation to graze
The naked dreams that penetrate
Deep within the one who knows no
Disgrace
Free from discomfitures
Without pride or egotisms
The whisper of inspiration from
One who listens to the song of spontaneity
Thriving
Free from self-consciousness
Dancing in the rain that accomplishes
More with it’s melody of lingering songs
Than any concert created by the one who is
Censored

Pressed into cavity, wardrobe holds captive
Constrained where space is a premium
Love lodged squashes logic, lungs ravaged
Quicksand scenarios draw a dreamer in
Denigrated to respondee in his spare time
Hung on railing to wear at convenience
Smiling nicely to speeches of a shared life
Passed opportunity pops my congenial
Friendliness strung with fun doesn't endear
Resists my charm like chalice poisoned
Realms kept seperate lest wretch interfere
Rationed portions bring a brief rejoicing
Abruptly leaves, impetus sprung immediate
Swum mosquitoes among murk spread
Sting truth beneath a furtive fable feeding it
Sore heart can't receipt his ebbing debt
Cement devoid of tears ceases to imprison
Desert sand manuevre accomplishes
Shatter of shackles farewell shadow limits
Dazzled escapee has copious oxygen
2nd January
Sacrifice won't suffice

I miss the standing gain;
Accomplishes of all of twain;
Gathering of stolen hearts lost;
Among the duty parts crept up;
Packaged and rearranged lost in the storm;
The falling rains I cried tears;
of not joy distant hoping for ;
Removal of my adolescence witness;
With me my passion twain;
Remembering my real last name; I'm not, I'm gone:
I'm gathering the host of my soul
It's not crazy not I'm I insane;
Within the premise I stand in, in the distant rain;
