Self-discovery
Self-discovery
I have been robbed of the joy well deserved,
The golden confidence beneath,
The inner peace.
I have been robbed of a voice, treasured
Caged, and echoing behind my rib cage.
What a long journey of discovery,
Discovery of wealth carried in me.
And now I am a walking art,
Built from fragments of my broken past.
I peeped through my destiny,
In between blank

Elevation
Where I was born and raised, the elevation was only 164 Feet
above sea level. When I was 32, upon first ascending an elevation
of 6200 feet, I had an excruciating headache.
The eagle thrives and survives with elevation.
The eagle cannot soar on winds of low elevation.
From the high mountain tops, he waits for the wind
that suits him

It's about to be 2025
It's time to elevate and thrive
It's time to keep climbing
And keep finding
Finding out the best in you
Even when you have no clue
Just let God do what he do
(Ooooooohhhh)
Have you ever been on an elevator
Have you seen the buttons
It's go from Basement

Elevation
In the Tabernacle, every morning
Aaron kindled the Menorah
He did so every afternoon as well
for forty years, enough to bore 'ya'
But not Aaron, who was always enthusiastic
With him it was genuine, not phony or 'plastic'
For he

Higher Levels
The world wide web holds instantaneous information for all.
In this time of high-level vibrations, it is time to heed and adhere to the call.
There is no need to look up or outside oneself to find solutions, clarity, peace, or serenity.
Time to realize your God frequency, that dormant inner power, an inner voice of Devine clarity.
You

I'Ll Never Call Him My Family Again
Someone who lives a life full with sin
You should never love them or claim them to be kin
They may daily claim to be a spiritual poet
But doing drugs daily hoping no one will know it
Hiding under spiritual escapism but reality will show it
I used to beg to be family
Now I wish nothing close.
I want

Turn Your Inspiration Into Elevation
Turn your inspiration into elevation
Despite the storms of difficulty
Be the force unshakable
Be the lion In the jungle
Rule over your shadows
Cos they are real
And don't forget the green
Snakes when you enjoy the green grass
Life is simple but humans made it difficult
So spread your creativity beyond
Inspiration
Refuse the word you can't do it
And walk like

Who Have I Been
I have taught, written, and spoken in the giant marketplace of Khem.
I would speak and write in Egypt's marketplaces and all around its rim.
One day through the crowd and dotted stands, I peered at the King's Guard making their way through the masses.
It looked as though they were headed in my direction, so to be

At a Time Like This
At a time like this
When all hope seems lost
Listen and ponder
God is still saying something
At a time like this
When your prayers defy answers
Pray the more
Your breakthrough is close
At a time like this
When you receive a sack letter
Instead of promotion
Do not despair

I Live Toward Spiritual Elevation
Despite the malice
of the world,
for the innate wit of fish,
the imposingness of the rooster...
For the fruit that falls ripe,
for the missionary leaf,
for the swell of the waves,
and marine mystery...
For the roots of the trees
that stick to the earth...
For the wise smile
of the elder,
sweetness
of innocence...
For the colors and by the sounds
that still

Mr Chinedum's Lord's Prayer
God, You re Supreme and Holy
Eventually admitted my non- brilliant enemy in a Poly.
You re the Giver of life and fame:
A riffraff neighbor of mine now has a name.
You re the Changer of circumstances;
It should be time-wasting mentioning the instances.
I want my own world to be The Sweetest;
I have yet to accept "It isn't The

The Elevation of Today's Generation
THE ELEVATION OF TODAY'S GENERATION
By: Sikolwethu Mthethwa
Burning hotter than the flames of a furnace,
Surpassing the depths of the hollows beneath Earth's face,
Rumbling more violently than a million earthquakes.
Delicately constructed by our young minds
And conceived by our hearts.
It is more valuable than gold mines
Nothing surpasses this urge
With great authority it dictates to us,
With immense

Soul Elevation
Divine illumination
Transcendent glow
from those rare gemstones
buried in the Earth
Enlightened innervision
Prism eyes closed,
laying so patiently still
Twinkling flames of sparkling hope
are eternally rising
Sapphire faith ascending
Crystalline tears of joy
be the spiraling, bright rainbow
to the higher ground
That paradise plane of existence
Soul elevation
Heightened saintly desires
on the celestial horizon
are Sol beautiful
Ever loving aspirations that glow
Carbon brilliance of creation
Resurrected waves
