Fear not the countless stars that light the sky,
For many naysayers still will deny.
Find them a place where they must stay away,
The clouds will part, your star will shine today.
Each star, a lone pattern in glow and gleam.
So nothing dims its light or halts its dream.
The clouds hold space to cradle your surprise,
For many reasons, your star has to rise.
Just know your star must shine despite the dark,
A mentor great in knowledge lights a spark,
Ignites a flame no force can quench or tame,
Its glow entrenched beyond all doubt or shame.
Let not the winds of fear obscure your way,
For dawn will break to bring a brighter day.
Hold firm to dreams, let courage be your guide,
With steadfast hope, your light will gleam and glide.
We'll stay in sacred dreams our kiss unfolds
To love until death's night falls on our heart
And presses hard last breath our body holds
Only then will we ever be apart
To wrap love's arms tightly in tender dance
Allow wounds to vanish beyond our realm
Light and melt candles with flaming romance
And enjoy love's power to overwhelm
To know peace when our hands wrap and hold firm
As we walk along in life's dimmest light
Unafraid on a path of no return
To love without fear knowing what is right
A love to promise that captures each tear
A secret told and whispered to each ear

SINGLE MOM DOUBLE HONOUR
Tears won't dilute your strength
Your mood won't make it less of who you are.
You're not broken but a token that is indispensable
A fraction that's left and yet inevitable.
That's who you are
You speak the voice of two
Just to take care of one
You put up acts of two
Just to raise a mighty one
You show love of two different persons
Just to prove to the world better lessons
You double your passion and shower it on one
Just to make your child a complete mansion
The world sees you as incomplete
Yet you fill more than a gap of two
You train your hands and won't allow those strains to constrain you
You don't give up even when it seems the world is up against you
You turn your words into bricks and build a world for your child
When others build with bricks
You build with gains of the risks
You shunned your supposed shame
You raise a world that will bring you fame
All just from your crumbs of gains
You're a superwoman.
If no one ever said that to you
They are either blind to it or rather jealous to admit it
That's who I see in you
That's who I believe you to be.
You may not be completely right
But you can't be more an angel than you are already.
I adore your strength
I respect your hustle
I envy your myth
And I pray for your might
You don't need get everything right
Not everyone can stand in the arena where you fight
I pray that you win this fight
And never quit praying every night
You may be the wing of flight
Every other victims will like to fly
Make them look unto you
Never you breakdown
Crush a brick and the building may go all down
Hold firm and win this battle
You won't just be called a winner
You will be a legend with double honour.
(Tribute to all the single mothers out there)
CONCEPTUAL FM ???
If you want to last without lust, fast—
Break the hunger of the flesh by choosing what will last.
When the body shouts loud and the soul feels weak,
Silence the cravings by strengthening the meek.
Lust is a fire that feeds on desire,
It grows on neglect and burns ever higher.
But fasting is water that quenches the flame,
It humbles the heart and reorders the frame.
When the eyes start wandering, longing to roam,
Call your spirit to the altar and bring your heart home.
For battles of purity are not won in the night,
They are forged in the daytime by walking in light.
Fast from the screens that poison the mind,
Fast from the voices that tempt and remind,
Fast from the idols that promise delight,
Then feed on the Word that gives strength to fight.
Fast until hunger bows low to your King,
Fast until your spirit learns how to sing,
Fast until holiness becomes your desire,
And purity burns like a sanctified fire.
For lust is defeated when Christ is embraced,
When flesh is denied and the heart is retraced.
If you want to last without lust, fast—
Choose what is eternal, hold firm, stand fast.
society has fallen prey to the status quo
unwilling to stand up for the God we all love and know
more concerned with being acceptable in the eyes of man
afraid to step out, to blaze a trail or even to take a stand
looking for approval from any and everyone
searching for commendations until the day is done
but a true Christian, a child of God can always discern
to stand up for God no matter how hot the fires will burn
and hope that those who worship false idols will one day see
that to fall under the devil's influence will lead to purgatory
don't ever let go of what you truly believe in life
take your stand and hold firm to the principles of the Lord Christ
be willing to stand boldly and tell society to it's face
that you wholly trust in the one true God who is full of mercy and grace
for greater is the God that is in me
greater than anything that man could ever be
take your stand in life and be true to your beliefs
don't fall for society's ways of ease and relief
don't hang with crowds for they'll slow you up or hurry you along
stand alone in the righteousness of God knowing right from wrong
tell that group of so-called friends you don't have time for pettiness
as you're too busy listening to God and keeping His holiness
fear not said the Lord, it's time to stand and fight
don't worry about the enemy for his dark can't diminish God's light
the enemy may huff and he may puff but he can't blow your foundation down
for you are standing on the word of God and are now on higher ground
for the devil is a liar and like a hooker always on the stroll
so be anxious over nothing as Father God is in control
to be like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
to refuse to bow down to a graven image with a golden glow
take your stand, hold to God's hands and let the whole world see
that you won't accept any and all types of immorality
take your stand, stick up for Christ and tell the so-called powers that be
that you will only kneel down in the face of the Lord God's authority
take your stand, keep the faith, trust in God and have no fear
for He's in complete control and will always be there
Wisdom lies in all of God's book
but Proverbs specially is real wise
divine instruction is it's very source
to lift one up so fully to rise
Learn well to take in such truth
that God conveys His very commands
place them deep within your heart
so you hold firm whatever stands
God's law is for your good
to help you always faithfully stand
whatever attacks you don't retreat
for the Lord knows all He's planned
That plan is for eternity
so you live always out of time
to be in another world so blessed
walking in step to heaven's rhyme
This truly is God's view
your life full and well
walk by faith and grace
eternally under His spell
('Good friend, don’t forget all I’ve taught you;
take to heart my commands.
They’ll help you live a long, long time,
a long life lived full and well.')
Proverbs 3:1-2 (The Message)
Evergreens clasp the grounded earth
Roots dig in to hold firm their homes
Deep enough to keep them in one place
At rest, rocks know they are alone
As cold solids not going anywhere
The Forest fullness hides the wild
Hungry animals awake, instincts on display
Hunting for whatever comes their way
Bunnies sense the danger, wriggle noses
They are not afraid to run away
Stealth gives them confidence to escape
Shadowed by sins they have committed
Wolves howl at the moon at midnight
Having nothing better to do
It is the humble mushroom pondering
With caps intact, with spongy stems at tilt
Side by side below the evergreens
Just sitting there and just as wild growing
Multicolored hands dissolved the pain, that rose within me
You were there; certain you'd win your part in the ring
Condescension became sparks I used as light to see
I held to my song you sought to silence, by your sting
Once again, your buzz faded and you fell flat
Hold firm the religious reins of your horse, I say
I offered flowers; you strutted, and then turn back
I gave you your day, with garland and songs unforced
Self-made pedestal holds no sap like earth's wood
You may think me soft as gel, nay! I am mahogany!
Papa was carver of antiques from those trees, you understood...
His hands were guided by the Source, the root of my recovery.

WORSE THAN DOGS
Mi step off di docks, salt burn in mi chest,
Suit sharp-press, hope pin to mi vest.
Windrush blood, calypso fire,
Dreams of gold — meet cold barbed wire.
“Welcome,” dem sneer wid a crooked grin,
Door slam shut — all ‘cause a mi skin.
Signs in window cut like knives:
NO BLACKS. NO DOGS. NO IRISH. — lives.
But truth cut deeper, raw, obscene —
Even dogs run free while mi stay unseen.
Scrubbin’ street in polished shoes,
Three shift deep — still bound fi lose.
Every glare a wound, each word a blade,
Dreams turn dust in di land mi prayed.
Culture muffled in council flats,
Reggae silenced by police wid bats.
Steelpan cry drown in riot smoke,
Carnival dreams as di hatred spoke.
Notting Hill burnin’, fists in di night,
Caribbean heart hold firm in di fight.
“Back to yuh island!” di cowards spat,
But we build Brixton — and we fight back.
Pickney hungry, madda pray,
Fadda beaten, future fray.
Sirens scream where hope lie dead,
Molotov skies rain brown and red.
Law twist truth, street betray,
Black life hunted, night and day.
Dem call mi “savage,” spit “go home,”
Yet tek mi labour, skin and bone.
Caribbean soul in a British frost,
Build dis land — still count as lost.
Worse than dogs — mi bear di blame,
Judge by shade, not soul, not flame.
But still mi rise, unbowed, unbent,
Back unbroken, life well-spent.
Through cracked brown knuckles, through nights of screams,
Mi forge new world from shattered dreams.
Roots run deep in London clay,
Though hate try hard fi burn dem away.
Hear di steelpan — we nah forget.
Hear di fire — it burnin’ yet.
From Windrush decks to Brixton lanes,
Notting Hill flames to blood-red chains.
Shout it loud, mek di world nuh sleep:
No sin but skin — and di roots run deep.
NO FEAR , MY DEAR !
Fear is a damn liar,
Always showing fake fire!
Have strength to overcome.
Willpower to welcome.
Remove your Fear Factor,
building a bold character.
Hold firm faith and strong view.
Self confidence to rescue.
Apprehending False Fear
Don’t make a pause, My Dear !
Act dauntless, make progress.
Being frightened, not to regress.
Fear is a continued obstacle
Don’t sit idle hoping miracle.
Trouble turns mischievous,
coated by Fear : Fictitious.
Fear is an evil messenger
Skilled to fabricate danger.
Fear shouldn’t get any entry.
Allow Courage to enter free.
