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...

Premium Member 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

Against All Odds
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...

Against All Odds
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...

Against All Odds
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...

Against All Odds
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
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...

At first they doubted she would even live, Then stated calmly that she would not walk. This child for whom my life I'd gladly give, Denounced as one of those who'd never talk. I covered outraged ears, their words to block. For those long months she danced beneath my heart. I had played music for her from the start, My own keen...
