My Rise To Fame

The ladders by which I shall soar
And the uncoursed peaks I must tour,
Are set before my gaze;
A complex and baffling maze.
For this I need my paths well to know:
That I'm not the son of a knight,
And I was not born with a silver spoon in the mouth
Nor did any wise men visit from the east or the south
After my lowly birth to Lord's servants meek.

I shall through all means known and also those unknown
Pierce every opposition and walls of dark;
For I'm my Heavenly Father's son,
And Him well-pleased with me nothing I shall lack;
To me belong all go-downs of silver and gold;
Every bit of success is His still,
And while sure that this all He shall bestow,
I just beg to do His will.

It shall astound many my soaring to fame,
When devil's cohorts shall labor under spirits lame;
And all my beloved friends I shall surprise.
I pray this day she be alive my affectionate mum,
And my father's departed spirit still with me,
Oh! what a wonderful day this shall be!

And the Lord who rules by His Omnipotent rod,
Shall all  His vital mercies afford.

Wishing For Something...

Whatever given… hasn’t the return
However much to go… no matter how was away
And it became a natural flair to burn
Living once more to remember that one more day

Is there not another road to take?
Can I not have a time to not have a mind for?
Must all things be made worth to simply wait?
Can’t there be a time… a moment pure to adore?

With this to simply have that
That be which to ease any troubled mind
How much more can so little be lacked?
Isn’t a one life to own already without time?

And with everything obtained… I have nothing
With everyone telling me I have something more
Can it be my death defying culture is giving them dreams?
Or rather… am I being pitied to have encouragement pour?

Wanting to be and never can be…
Wishing for something with nothing more to wish
For that one fine day to one day see
Of that one fine day to never again have today to miss

9-11

September 11th 2001,
Was the day that many died,
A tragic day we'll never forget,
The day our eagle cried.
When the two planes struck our towers,
And we watched them crumble to the ground,
As black smoke filled the air,
We heard the most terrifying sound.
People screaming, running for their lives,
Sirens blaring down the street,
America realized we had to unite,
"We will not take defeat".
Our uniformed angels were sent out,
To defend our Red, White and blue,
And now they live in hell everyday,
And they do it for me and you.
To all the armed forces,
Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines,
Thank you for all your bravery,
Cause no matter what tomorrow brings,
We all stand behind you,
And to all those that lost their lives,
We will never forget you either,
Or the day our eagle cried.

Ode To 9/11

This day shall be in remembrance of all the lost souls.
Each one remembered proudly on every flag pole.

This day shall be in remembrance to the fire fighters and all the crews.
Who rushed in giving up their lives, knowing what they knew.

This day shall be in remembrance to each soldier who followed their course.
The Army, Navy, Marines and the Airforce.

This day shall be in remembrance to all the brave and willing strangers.
Who came together to help and comfort, not knowing the dangers.

This day shall be in remembrance to the brave policemen and women.
Who came and worked side by side with with other laymen.

This year shall be in remembrance to all the who gave to the oppressed laden with hardship.
Whether it be a stranger or simply a friendship.

This date shall be forever etched in our hearts and in history.
Let freedom reign, the eagle will soar with such gallantry.

In reverence of 9/11, I kneel to pray...
As I write this, each tear falling don't come close to all who was lost that day. 

Each year passing, shall be in remembrance to the brave red, white and blue.
That we came back stronger, braver and always renewed.

My Wish To Be Prime Minister

I worked so hard
Had big dreams as a kid
Enormous dreams
I worked so hard
Everything was going to plan
Until a day struck like no other
I was put under such hardship
Until I tried again, really hard
Until I was put under more hardship - on another more terrible day.
My dreams were held back so much that I am ageing everyday waiting.
I expected to reach my dream as a young man.
Yet I was late.
So late, it is still like the beginning of my journey.
What do I have to show for it.
Finished teenage hood.
I became wiser every day in  my conquest.
Maybe god wants me to be wise instead of reach my dream.
I tried everything to reach my dream.
I will keep trying.
But when is it possible.
I don’t want to be an old man before I reach that dream.
Never know what it feels like.
Someone teach me what it is like to reach your dream.
I learnt.
You never know what life holds.
It could be good.
It could be bad.
But you will always grow wiser in your conquest.
I never know what tomorrow might bring.
Yet I know I will be ready to fight for my dream.

One Day

one day we always promise ourselves
to put our weapons on their shelves
to save our souls from the wrath of hell
to free the captives that rebelled

one day we'll take a look at ourselves
before we scrutinize some one else
we'll cry at what we see in the mirror
and perhaps repent and become a little bit better

one day we'll stand before God
face to face with truth and laws
all of us, liar's theives and frauds
perhaps a few who made Jesus Lord

one day we'll make up our minds to pray
after we see that there is no other way
when all we have is a hope and a prayer
my prayer for you is that God meets you there
