I can't wait,
to see Heavens gate.
I know he's my father,
he's always bothered.
Why do people complain?
People live,
people die.
You either go to Heaven and live,
or to Hell and fry.
The light is better,
darkness leads to pain.
In the dark people have nothing to gain.
It's Gods call,
if we rise or if we fall.
I think it is the most insensitive thing I have seen here for a contest..or anywhere in my
life..
poems making fun of the pain they have felt of being cheated on..
I think you people are insensitive and cruel..
and think nothing of what those people endured..
I think it is tacky and tasteless..
heartless
Faith binds us
Faith finds us
And bring everything we want
Into its best beautiful font
Why people lose faith?
Why people not rely on faith?
All boundaries vanish
All false notions vanish
With just a name "Faith"
Keep it! live it!

I'm tired of being defined
By the jagged lines
That line my eyes
I'm tired of being based
On blackened hair
That hides my face
I'm tired of people scanning arms
Searching for bloody marks
That are long gone
I'm tired of people standing there
Waiting for the knife
To reappear
Under the blackened spell of dawn
Gaze upon what I've become
Through the sunlight that lights my arms
You can clearly see these whitened scars
Is been a tough year, a cold air, heavy sins on the shoulder of us all, i know who i am,
but i guess you are lost in this wave of discomfort, people are crying because of their
dead families or friends, because crime walks the street faceless, a knife, bullet, fire,
drugs, insanity, pride, power, dominance, loyalty, evil all in the same jar of sadness, is
all been a wise tough of domination, but now is the time to change this rules, the moment
for the clever to take front lead, don't fire your gun to the sky because it could be your
child death or your mothers, don't give drug to youngsters because tomorrow they are what
is left, please don't let any one get hurt, because of blood i do know, hope this is
enough to let you know true favor...
HOPE EVERY ONE GETS A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
This is for the people who have died in past years by missed bullets in the air and all
else mentioned, RIP for the innocence.
Open your heart,soul and your mind.
Always be helpful,thoughtful and kind.
Some people make us mad or cause us pain.
Forgiveness is best so there's no one to blame.
Give all that you can and show people you care.
When the feeling of love is always there.
There is poor,disable,sick,old,helpless people on this earth.
Please be kind cause Jesus has been with us since birth.

Every day people talk about other people,
talking trash about them behind their backs
However, when it comes down to the face to face,
most of the time they won't repeat what they have said
All of a sudden, it's " hey, how ya doing or,
long time no see, or hows the family,
when not the very day or hour before
they were putting the bad mouth on that person
Some of these people say they are Christians, Yet,
they don't practice that very way of life, that
they say they believe in, yet say Amen
they say Grace before meals, and thank God
Yet, not five minutes later, if that sometimes,
they will start talking trash about someone
never anything nice, only some sin that person committed
during this wind blowing, they will even take the Lords name in vain
To these people I would like to say,
God is the only TRUE Judge, so judge not
Love thy neighbor as thyself, so Shut It!
and " Let he without sin, Cast the First Stone!"
Dancing with Jesus is the most amazing thing
when I lift up my voice to him and sing
as I close my eyes and focus he comes to me
and holds my hands so tenderly
the way he makes my heart skip a beat
when our eyes happen to meet
holding my hands tighter makes me know with him I truly belong
and every second we are together the dancing carrys on.
this is based on a vision I have been given it for the past 3 weeks
when I was worshiping in church I saw the Lord and he came to me
he was holding my hands and we were dancing and skiping round and round it was so
awesome and uplifting I could feel him lifting me up higher and higher
it is hard to describe in words how amazing that was and one day that vision will be real
when he comes back for us and then we all will be dancing with him. . Psalm 150 :1-6
Exodus 29 ; 43 I will meet the people of Israel there, and the Tabernacle will be
sanctified by my glorious presence.
God meets with his people in a powerful way when they worship him together Amen.
Life, can have its up and downs,
So, sometimes you might want to show less frowns,
It may feel quite tricky,
More or less sticky,
Life is all about learning, and yearning,
For the things that you want to acheive,
Some people come, while others may go,
Some people may have it rough,
While some may have it tough,
Just long as you strive to make it through,
And always remember God loves you!
Life brings about alot of challenges!! and i guess i get dissapointed in myself when those
challenges overcome me... i really am dissapointed in who i have became...im not the
person that i dreamed of being.. i have dissapointed myself and it sucks the mistakes you
make you can never take back... recently i feel as if im facing challenges learning who i am
and how i treat people...and i guess i let the hurt o f my past overcome me and i bring that
hurt upon people now...and i feel so distant from everyone and its because i just rather be all
into myself instead of being there for everyone else...i really do wish i can take back
everything i have done wrong to dissapoint people and jah and my parents...but i never will
be able to i guess i can only make it better right?? and not be all into my self pity but acutally
strive to be who i always wanted to be right n serve jah to the fullest n let no one oR thing
stop that dream ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;this is just a story line of how i feel n who iam
As I walk down the street in my hijab people stop and stare. What do I care.
I have the right to choose, for they are the ones who'll lose.
As I walk down the street in my hijab people turn the other way.
I am who I am. I am not a bad person. Don't judge me because of how I look. I am who I
am. I have my beliefs and you have yours.
As I walk down the street in my hijab, I feel proud. It is aloud.
So next time you see a woman with a scarf, don't turn the other way. Just smile and
say 'good day'.
