Best Redeem Poems
All that I loved was not real
Greed in selfishness
Was their earthly call
Where is noble
Or honor
Integrity ....
A quest that has no end
Many miles
Many doors
Have you forsaken
Pride is their choice
Hollow is this inner voice
Lead us to the light
Redeem
Rebirth
Resolve
Shall begin our New Day.....
As the Lords Love leads thy way.....
Look for joy in ordinary places
Hearts of gold and skies of blue
Redeem your ticket for happiness
To take a trip to dreams come true
A LADY NAMED RECLAMATION
The lady I met on a street where sweat and hostility abounds
a lady who swore she'd lead me to higher grounds
she wore no masks, but swore to be my reclamation
and wipe away the memory of my condemnation
the lady I met on a ship crossing raging seas
swore she'd teach me how to pray upon my knees
and if we should be confronted by brotherhood declined
she'd cleans my soul, my body and mind
the lady I met promised to release me from where sin prevails
the same lady who wore no silken lies,no masks nor veils
I heard the words she spoke and her defined declaration
because all I really prayed for was my reclamation
the lady I met promised me from the very start
to rid me of a sinful soul and a broken and bitter heart
and after years of her preaching about holy inspiration
the lady truly became my reclamation

Can't seem to Shrug away this shame
I was a fool playing life like a game
Should of known not to take life in vain
Dropped out of school now my life will never be the same.
Sellin drugs with the thugs posted in My new domain.
False visions of money power and fame
Greed overpowered I had no intent to restrain.
My minds intoxicated no use for my brain
It's been stimulated by long nights of weed, ice, pills, and cocaine.
It's a struggle keepin a 9-5 strivin to maintain.
Lifes spiraling down and consumed like a drain.
I hit rock bottom But let me explain
I'm not here to cry and complain
Truth is I just wanna proclaim
my sorrows gone only good vibes and intent will remain.
I fought the fight of my life and still overcame.
All I see is happiness no more windowpane
Good vibes and honest intent are all that remain
No more struggles im done with the pain
My head starts to clear & I start feeling sane
Feelin the normal functions retrain in my brain
I've made my mistakes I'm the one to blame,
But nothing can Contain or Restrain My pride of the man I became
Trekking the peak of triumph was the utmost highlight of my career
Being an icon for years made everyone swept off their feet
The pride, honor and glory seem to be bright and shiny
Just like the applause of people, it’s everywhere surround me
The best moment in life has come to an end
It is taken by time, it must be given to someone else
As light slowly fades and so as people around me
Timidly walking away and forget the history that I made
But the worst part of all is not about losing myself
Not even dropping my glory and lose my pride
I am wondering how to redeem my self esteem
Despite of all negative criticisms thrown on my way
I deserve respect more than anyone’s appreciation
My contributions were huge and they show domination
After making an impact, was everything just an imagination?
For efforts should be realized because they last forever
My Soul Did Redeem
Ashes and ashes
And dust to dust but why must
Some live in disgust?
Solemn we should be
And all of us start to see
Why God He blessed me.
One of chosen few
Humbly had paid my due
And amount God knew.
Did what should be done
Weight on shoulders fell upon
Savior is God's Son.
Oh God so supreme,
Are many times I may dream;
My soul did redeem.

You made a promise
Staking your name
You owe a debt
To just yourself.
You owe yourself
To pay the debt
Redeem your name
Fulfil your promise.
Its something else isn't it, the time that I waste
A crack in the hourglass, I can feel time sifting away
I understand that I'm ignorant, and its my time now isn't it?
This wall, why am I hitting it, why am I living belligerent?
It's impossible to think, every time I hear a thought
And there's nobody who relates, because nobody knows at all
The passion and pain in the harmony, so when you feel I've built a wall
Understand that I have and I could never let that building fall
And if you can barely crawl, then how can you expect me to stand
Your life accomplishments will never make me less of a man
If I could conjure up the courage to submit to the blessing at hand
Maybe I could learn to breathe again, and my chest could expand
Maybe I'm less of a person to you or your dimwitted friends
Because when submitted to scrutiny, I'm loose at the ends
The ideas tied up in a knot, and I'm loosing my grip
I need to redeem my imagination before the illusion ends

Sustain your strive; nobody will ignore them entirely.
Your life will have a whole hot tune if you're brave.
When things turn out badly, we might be in a fury.
But, yielding is not for you even in your loud lake wave.
We were astounded by the breeze, and you'll excel.
We can't earn what we need; thus, we pace with the flow.
We can't avoid it. As anticipated, the issue dwells.
Would you check your arranged time in the row?
The focus of life is to confer as much as possible.
To start a fruitful day afresh, perform a spare tune.
Waves may spread and also refract the postural.
Awareness allows taking grasp of any halt boon.
In awful situations, fade has no impact on mood.
We have yet to enter a significant stage of life.
Our bodies and spirits must always sync, not feud
The diversification is both extensive and strife
A superior portrayal of each feeling! Spirits cry.
Utter beating your heart again, and sing the fresh melody.
Reckon ambitiously, and your angels will fly into the sky.
Don't allow a faulty mindset to render you poorly.
Even if everything fizzles, hold your eyes open.
You have stayed high since I am on your edge.
Future may fade! Your actions sway your decision.
Put forth an attempt to focus on your pledge.
Searching for a flaw in our deeds is a misuse of sway.
We might avoid it if we have the choice of finding an error.
We did not cause any anguish to them in any way.
Indeed, the peaceful water might cause major terror.

Africa…. Just the mention of her name creates a range of mixed feelings
Feelings of joy, disappointment and rage, leave me baffled, exhausted!
So vast and beautiful is this land blessed with amazing contrasts
From her people that range in colors, blue black to creamy white
From the snow covered peaks of Mt Kilimanjaro
To the golden hued savannahs,
From the fertile valleys of her plains
To jungles and rivers teeming with life; her expanding desert devouring the land
You once were so full of promise, now you're like a left over meal
Best of which the masters have eaten, now only scraps and bones remain
Your children still go hungry and the strong fight over crumbs
The mighty rule with guns and tanks; the weak, out of fear, recoil
Incredibly, riches still abound, and yet, your children are denied
No longer by slave masters on ships from abroad
But by native sons dressed in military garb
Who will redeem you Mother Africa?
Will your sons ever put you first?
Perhaps it’s time you rewrite your history
Elevate your daughters instead?
*This dedication to Africa comes from my heart with love..the original birthplace of half my
ancestors.
For fifteen years I was from sin redeem,
And tried to keep the healthiest regime,
" Not drink, slept by the clock, and no smoking.
And, main, avoiding all my contacts with female!"
But, as soon, as I released from jail,
Unfortunately, all this rules were broken.
Antiques to ashes
Left with dusty faces
Love birds to broken hearts
Left in a thousand parts
Riches to rags
Left lonely like stags
Life still goes on
In cycles of seasons
Rainfall and snowfall
Reaching out to us on the floor
Our hard hearts softened by the torrent
From fragility we are hardened by the sun
Drop by drop a paddles starts to lift
Till it is a stream with a drift
Ray by ray our eyes overlook the pain
We are healed to live again
Kuwakomboa Mimi bwana
Kuwakomboa Mimi Mungu
Redeem me Lord
Redeem me God
This is my sincere prayer, my prayer;
Hii ni maombi yangu ya dhati;
This is my, this is my sincere prayer;
Hii ni maombi yangu ya dhati;
Redeem me Lord
I need redemption Lord, save me
I need redemption Lord, save me
I need redemption Lord, save me
This is my sincere prayer
Come into my heart somewhere
Honor and trust in you
Is all that I need to do
I release myself unto you
Come see me Lord
Receive me so;
This is my sincere prayer
Come into my life always
Come see me Lord
Receive me so;
This is my sincere prayer
Come into my life always
Honor and trust in you;
Is all that I need to do
I release myself unto you
Kuwakomboa Mimi bwana
Kuwakomboa Mimi Mungu
Redeem me Lord
Redeem me God

from anthology "Swahili Praise"
Condemn not victims programmed to devour, imbibe and assimilate beliefs, creeds, norms, mores and values that wipe away the compass of right and wrong, left and right, leaving victims in a state of arrested moral development and envelopment.
Help redeem souls lost in
the strong grip of misguided
creeds inadvertently.
When sorrow fills your heart and makes you scream,
And tomorrow feels like a remote gleam,
When pain stretches you to limits extreme,
And again ditches you in paths upstream,
In life's storms when you lose your self-esteem,
And strife forms the basis of every dream,
Why doubt in the Lord when He reigns supreme?
Cry out to the Lord and He will redeem.
