Reaching Your Prime Against All Odds
The flower of humility is a prerequisite for the intervention of hope
No situation can nullify a shift from hopelessness to joy
Faith over fear should imprint your heart because
The potency of unshakable hope will piece the air
Even when life is not fair
Darkness is but a temporary occasion
On this road of life
There lies an unshakable hope.
This

Against All Odds
I forded shallow waters
I tried to set my feet
The bottom was too sandy
Nothing there concrete
The tide then turned against me
No footing held me down
I drifted out of memory
Alone and left to drown
I'd worked to lay foundations
In hopes of a someday
But then before I knew it
Got pushed out of the way
I didn't

Number forty seven White House occupant against all odds
Number forty seven - White House occupant against all odds...
regarding President elect
Donald John Trump.
As a cruel joke to self,
I imagined myself as a Republican
for that one glorious day
voting for the candidate
who clinched the nomination
as our next commander in chief
and still reeling in the heady years
when said unnamed person
graced the covers
of countless magazines,
(especially

Against All Odds - July
News
heard through
the grapevine
when a heatwave
threatened July’s joy
a baby girl was born
against all odds (while on air
Phil Collins sang to make a point)
tears ran down a happy mother’s face.
At last, the closure of an empty space.

Dear God..why? I've got to ask,
Do I need to explain myself all over again?,
So many thoughts, so much time,
Invested just on trying to understand why,
When it all boils down to just one thing,
The world is filled with so many selfish human beings,
Holding onto as much as they can,
Survival to the fittest, the manipulation, the plans,
The

I took the high road home, though it wasn't easy
neglected, abandoned, and used, I felt I deserved better
so I moved away from that dirty apartment full of rats and dirty men,
and cleaned up my act by working in a respectable Motel as a maid
I did the same kind of work but

They said it wouldn't last,
But our die we had cast.
They said I was a ass,
That I should give her a pass.
Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
She is too old, she has kids in tow,
I didn't listen, didn't want to know.
She

Live Against All Odds
S-oar against all odds,
A-bove the clouds in the sky;
R-each the silver lining,
A-im to fly so
H-igh.
M-ove on against all odds,
A-llow your heart to glow;
E-ven though your mind is filled with so much sorrow.
R-ise against all odds,
O-bliterate the doubt;
N-o reason to fall down,
Q-uit not or never walk out.
U-nderneath the

It was fire.
Brought to life by a single spark.
Desire.
All consuming, all assuming,
and never letting up.
We found passion, compassion, forgiveness and joy.
We found empathy, and loyalty, and lips that we could taste.
We found a dream so lifelike that it felt like we could touch.
I found the man I learned to love – and that

Love Against All Odds
An ember cloud and fireballs
lit up the sky,
as the lovers embraced
each other in deep
moment of love.
They held each other's
arms and kissed
as though time had
stopped.
The two lovers turned to pillars
of ash as Mount Vesuvius
spewed out lava and rocks
all over Pompeii.
Their love was so deep and powerful,
that not even the scorch
of Mother Nature could separate
them from their

The way that I see it is that presently we are in a really bad place
Almost anyone would have to admit it's one fact we all have to face
Some people don't perceive such threats and could actually care less
But let them not deceive or you'll be right in the middle of their mess
Many things are

Against all odds by Phuti Morifi
Breaking it loose from the toughness
Moving the mountainous stones not slipping trough the rocks
Walking a thorny road barefooted and ignoring the bleeding pain
That’s where it all started
In a small world beneath my breast there is a beat
Everything appear very slow and limited
It seemed useless to

Hope Against All Odds
Whether it's dawn or dusk,can't decipher
What's my destiny,can't decipher
I have wandered into this place
Where even living is forbidden
Not even a streak of light left
Not a single beat of loving heart
All hopes shattered to pieces
All dreams have left their abode
Stench of stale air around
Grasping for each breath
Still wishing this strangled breath could get some relief
A

Against All Odds
I promulgate against all odds,
To let go indoubts my mind
Profusely with no room to spare.
The image retracts the greater
Evil that lures deep with~in the
Back walls of my soul;and itches
poisonous ivy under my skin,
which starves my hunger for
you.
Are you ready to excape all necessary
Placements to give eachother a special
treatment; of exotic tendiousy's
