Insecurities

(poem version/unedited - first look at my future writing projects)

Doors will open soon
Love is a hidden treasure
Doors will close...oh joy!
Ascend, self-esteem!
Lift me higher than the clouds
The clouds overhead
Hey? Give me your all!
Hit me with your best shot, man - - - 
We need to stand tall!
The clouds overhead
Shed droplets of blue lament . . . 
Sunshine's near, pour clouds! 

~!@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@!~

Sunshine's near, pour clouds!
Relieve gloom of Yesterday's tomorrow 
Cheer up, whiten up! Relieve the gloom of our sorrow...
Cheer up, lighten up! There's more hope to borrow
Let the sun rays warm your soul . . . 
Disconsolate clouds
My self-esteem's low
Who ruined my self-esteem? Oh...
No! It can't be you!
Is it you?
Disconsolate clouds 
Why do you weep bitterly?
Do you need a FRIEND?....
Why do I feel blue?
Arise like the sunrise, please?
Have high hopes with me!!
Do you need a friend for real?
Clothe you w-with hope, not sheer fear
Cheer up, brighten up!
Cheer up, listen up!
Elevate me with sheer cheer!
Grab the Rope of Hope========
Hey? I welcome you 
No! Don't bid me a farewell !
You're good company!!
Good riddance, sorrow
Attitude of Gratitude . . . 
Tomorrow draws near
You erased my fearz
I'm feelin' like I belong
Smile with sunlit glee with me!


Saving Lives

8/25/21


Either first or last in the waiting line
Continually I ache inside
I'm breaking ties
Over taking sides
Making strides
Day and night
A better way of life
Among changing tides
At my job, I've helped in saving lives
Meanwhile others still taking bribes
At times I followed a training guide
Amateurs and pros baking pies

Hard to concentrate
When it all leaves a bad taste
The enemy putting out the bait
And yet people continue to take
Got it all twisted, let's get it straight
For me it's hard to relate
I'm high in outer space
They're full of hate
Judging others by race
I've not been in a very great 
Mind state and place
I want to elevate
And accelerate the pace
Anyway
Trying to stray
From the bull everyday
It's pathetic, and not okay
Honestly, seems to do no good to pray
Life goes on or terminates
For all lifeforms with or without vertebrae

It's true
Get a clue
This world is a zoo
It's nothing new
Hysteria over bird flu
Then Covid-19 came to
Little if any breakthrough
Meanwhile people stir the pot of stew
Causing endless drama to ensue
Humans treating others like poo
So caught up on who is who
Obsessed with YouTube
And if there is Bluetooth
All the while there was a doll used for Voodoo

You Can'T Tie Me Down

In spite of any deformities or disabilities
I know that the Lord Our God is watching over me
And the more I realize who I was meant to be
The more I try to hide behind my inabilities
You can't tie me down I now comprehend
That God is only looking at the heart that lays within

I no longer fall prey to those false accusations
That I'm only a product of my environmental situation
You can't tie me down for I am not my mother
I'm a child of God like no other
You can't tie me down so don't use my neighbourhood
To define me as someone who is not any good

Now bold enough to tell the world you can't steal my joy
And not allowing the insecure to use words that can destroy
Breaking down cycles of generational guilt and shame
Now free to function in Jesus the Christ name
You can't use an IPhone if you're stuck on a pager mentality
You're a child of the living God so go claim your victory
You can't tie me down for through Christ I've been set free
Like that untamed colt that Jesus rode towards His destiny

Now I comprehend that God has a master plan
And I may be in a hold pattern until He moves His hands
For God has something in store for me and I need to learn to wait
It might be uncomfortable and it might seem too late
But i just can't lose my faith nor do I need to know the reason
That God will move me when it's my season
And if someone is envious of your blessings and status with Christ
Tell them to get over themselves and go get a life

God will untie and unbind you from whatever is holding you down
He will put His plan in action to elevate you to higher ground
So don't worry about the naysayers, the haters and the critics
Keep your eyes on God by walking in the Spirit
You can't tie me down for through Christ I now clearly see
That God has a great plan for my destiny
You can't tie me down

Radiant Sun

Radiant sun so tender and kind come and enlighten my powerful mind
Cheerful sun so  warm and divine nurture my soul with grandeur
Elevate my elegant steps and wrap your arms around  the core of my flesh
Enrich my heart with gladness and utter the words that I long to hear.

Here  I am sitting in this crowded space waiting for you to release me
from the tempestuous age, woo me with splendor and grace
Fill my heart with a happy song that I may dance with the sensational throng.
Come nigh unto me oh radiant sun, and drench me with songs of victory.

I am leaping on the pinnacle of ambition, come and saturate me  in your fortified arm.
Write a love letter to me and enthrall me with your fantasy 
Beguile me with  powerful words, words that cut to core of my soul
Words that wet my appetite, and appeal to the arousing hunger inside.

Radiant sun  so powerful and divine administer to the yearning  inside
I have waited for decades to share  this joy with you,
Permeate me with your madness and imbue the fire within. 
Oh radiant sun so pure and divine you have stood the test of time.

The Moon Carries a Rope

A strange, eerie, black feeling of despair,
I am lost, alone, no one seems to care
except the Moon who appears and prepares.

He throws me a long rope, yelling, "Catch hold!"
Noticing my doubt, "Have no fear!" he scolds -
"Believe!"  I beam as unknown scheme unfolds. 

Watching down below as upwards we soar,
I see Daddy and his friends -  and Moon roars, 
"Look, they're searching!." as my hope I restore.

Gently rocking mid air, the sky, my bed, 
Moon covers me with clouds' blanket, my spread.
He lays me down on the path up ahead.

I awake as my head they elevate
"What's this long rope for?" one friend speculates.
Starting to tell them, yet I hesitate...

"I found it ... while playing down by the creek
and followed it up to where this hill peaks."
Begging, "Can I keep it?" my tale I tweak.

Have the Guts

Cultivate the willpower to achieve your goal, chances, 
Give yourself the guts to succeed and win, 
Elevate your mind above your circumstances, 
And deliberate upon taking things on the chin. 

Analyse your goals until they become many, 
Many small intentions that you can make easily, 
So that you build up the confidence gamey, 
To assert yourself in a tight religious family.

Write your goals down on paper if need be, 
Your dreams, ambitions and intentions as well, 
So that at least you’ll know what you see, 
For your life and future, where there’s no hell. 

Don’t be scared to share them with others, 
Your teachers, engineers, doctors and physios,  
So that they can help you on your way, brothers, 
Such that you’re no longer listening to radios. 

Your ratio with them will become important,
The church subsides along with your relations, 
And in time they will imbue their statement, 
Their morality will become your attestations. 

Seek to interact in your society unaffected, 
Don’t define it as they do by hatred and sin, 
Because if you can’t trust your person stated, 
Your neighbour or colleagues, find the bin. 

You need to give them that bit of initial trust, 
That little bit of space which lets them move, 
So that you can trust them when there’s no dust, 
When you have no innocence to site or prove. 

Make a table for yourself because it’s made, 
By others for your pleasure and gratification; 
Live and let live and traverse peace stayed, 
And wangle when you find only apprehension.

Minority Thoughts

We find ourselves in different shelves in life to shape and sharpen thoughts 

Thinking for a greater tomorrow just to breath the fresh beat of earth 

Thunder strikes creating lighting to capture images that would last for Gods 
Miming our moves as we elevate invention that was innovated by sin

Sinister mystery laying differently like last crast for peasents 
Scrubing for more bread to eat to tick for tomorrow 
Loosing hope soul attracted by soil splash flash dashed to the last inch of whiskey 
Hearing whisper commencing prophecy plants combined to formulate a form of answer 
Swearing for forgotten days to play 

Oh child find what was made for us tomorrow to pledge probably gaze all bubbles nibbled through the wall 
Who is this fancy face phased with the atmospheric figment 
Waiting to be tint in colours of rainbow 

Bow to vowl historical metaphor 
Finding improper fraction fusing the leftover gas
Past hindered through the hour glass are the days of our lives going to be like this
Drilling drops of unravelling all travelers camping all army.

Whatever

Although it burns and I now cry,
goodbye my love. 
I waited and somewhere along the line,
I lost my world.

For I feel so far from all the roads.
I’m stranded and I’m really cold.
Told, that somewhere it could be warm,
but I’ve been walking and hope’s too old.

See, I’m not that religious at all.
If I died today, in hell I’d fall.
But I recall that I am God’s favorite,
as I dream of him and hear her call.
Sometimes I wish we’d sit and talk,
but I loved too much and loved I’m not.

It seems, can’t find my way.
Maybe the other side isn’t all gray?
Maybe, this one ain’t so bad during the day?
it’s just that I’ve been embraced by night,
for far too long, I’ve went astray.

Meditate.
I’ve prayed.
I’ve fallen to my knees and trusted fate.
With my eyes closed stumbled at a gate,
where nobody they said, will again hear my name.

Elevate.
The people near,
they know how they want to appear.
I hear, as long as all is smiles,
they’d stomp on their heels,
carry on walking
and drown out how they feel.

Though our hearts are of steel,
my one’s corroded, leaking tears.
For it fears to be forgotten,
history kills, the tired and honest.

But it’s all alright.
I wish it was easy, maybe kind.
I maybe thought I could have lived to find.
Though maybe my soul is too far in time,
lost in a universe, bridged by light.

But hey, we lived and we sure did try.

Eternal Winning Post

The winner wins but having won moves on
for winning is the proudest thing he’s done.
But winning only once could never be
enough to make his place in history.

The winner wins but having won moves on
for his winning streak had only just begun.

The winner wins and then he wins again
that others lost helps elevate his fame.
He wins at Chess and Snakes and Ladders too
there isn’t any game he can’t beat you.

The winner wins but having won moves on
for his winning streak had only just begun.


The winner wins and having won moves on
as winning became ‘Father, Ghost and Son’.
He now finds winning feeds his mortal greed
and winning is the only food he’ll ever need

The winner wins but having won moves on
for his winning streak had only just begun.


The winner wins but having won moves on
and races to the place where life is won.
He’s met by judges two between the gates
but enters in the first, he cannot wait.

The winner wins but having won moves on
for his winning streak had only just begun.


The winner won but having won moves on
where hotter stakes for winning could be won.
The fires of hell now burn with winning pride
for the Devil has a winner by his side!

Pharaoh and the Empress

Alright, Pharaohs and Queens, gather 'round, let's set this basement ablaze! Yo, check the mic, one two, it's time to elevate these days. Incense burnin', roses spread, yeah, that's the vibe we chase, Got that desert heat flowin' even in this hazy maze, Underground oasis, where the rhythm plays, We buildin' pyramids of pleasure in these modern days.

Sun sinkin' low, but the heat's still pumpin' high, Summer solstice magic, reflected in my eye, Family and my crew, yeah, they right here by my side, Got a sigil star shinin', banishin' the lie, Feel that bass drum thumpin', reachin' for the sky, Tonight we kings and queens, no need to even try.

Purple haze rain, yeah, metaphoric flow, These good vibes washin' over, watch the energy grow, Open up your mind, let your inhibitions go, Basement heaven's gate, where the real ones know, Lindt kisses meltin', sweetness overflow, This ain't just a party, this a spectacle to show.

Warm embrace offered, ain't no need to be shy, Got that earthquake love shakin', from your head to thigh, Body talkin' volumes, louder than a battle cry, "When Love Calls", baby, you know you gotta reply, Don't play hard to get, let your true feelings fly, This ain't no ancient riddle, just look me in the eye.

Got the smooth delivery, like the Nile river flow, Confidence is pumpin', watch my charisma glow, Egyptian queen steppin' in, takin' center stage, yo, Breaking hearts and rules, that's the afterglow, From the sphinx to these speakers, the legend gonna grow, So step into my kingdom, let the good times bestow.

Yeah, this our piece of heaven, right here on Earth, No need for no afterlife, appreciate your worth, Shake that body, baby, show me what you're rehearsed, Love is in the air, let the feeling burst, Forget your daily grind, quench your soul's thirst, Incense + Rose aroma, ain't nothin' worse... than missin' this verse!
