MY AGE
My age is nothing but a number, nothing but a slumber that I can’t wake from, this is what I’ve done. I’ve looked around and found that the matter of the fact is life isn’t what it’s supposed to be for me.
The average teenager spends most of their lifetime looking at their phones and when it’s time to learn something new their minds have already grown. Absorbing every single thing that they are sold, having a twelve year old’s body and the mind of a twenty one year old.
Social media doesn’t help the situation, it only changes how the different problems are situated. It has stolen complete sentences and created abbreviations, shortcuts of a language used by my generation. You could be laughing out loud when in reality you’re crying, saying TBH to be honest when in actual fact you’re actually lying.
And to that you can’t say anything because if LIFE was abbreviated it would stand for Living In Fear of Everything.
This is what I go through, in addition the music industry has had a major breakthrough. It has managed to be more influential promoting sex, drugs and slurs that are racial. “Making money moves” is about dancing on a pole, “Smoke weed everyday” is the daily intake of dope and this is said all while mentioning the one African American slave term that we all know. My nig-...I can’t say it though. So why do you. You have no idea who that affects. Sometimes we need to learn to be more politically correct.
They say that euphoria is just around the corner, behind the school building in a midst of vape. These are the lies they create, saying everything is ok. Just inhale it once and you’ll be done. I’m sorry, you can call me a loner but don’t mistake me for a stoner. One shot, two shots, three shots, four, hard. Call me antisocial but I’ve never drank before and I’m not about to start.
Society is full of influences, temptations and choices. However people like me always end up being voiceless. They think we’re too young to have any serious issues, that’s just another excuse for not wanting to accept the truth. You choose to change the subject to something totally unrelated, “We don’t have many problems?” well isn’t that an understatement?
You say that it will change, you say it’s just a phase, you say it’s another page in my story, no, this stage, right here...

My Hero
You would tuck me in at night before you went to work, like your back didn’t hurt from your day job that you didn’t put first.
We didn’t have much, but not much was enough because I had my hero’s love.
Your courage fed me and led me to believe that you where unstoppable.
When you have a hero that’s a queen like Berlene, your dreams are not impossible.
Your guidance is like a lot of food that Bertha would make.
Smelling the food I would ask “Did you bake me a cake?”
But my hero would prepare all the plates as the elders talked about
service today.
Just like James & James I want to remain a king.
Tally and Mr. Alex will teach you a thousand things.
I would write it all down, now I have a pile of dreams.
My hero deserves a cape.
My hero thinks about the people that they can help today and tomorrow.
My hero stands tall but would knell to the man who stands spiritually taller.
You taught me that a person that put’s God first will remain guarded.
I thank Fathers that strive to teach their kids to pray harder and stay stronger so our problems would one day stay flawless.
I thank Arthur for being a hero but a man first. Monk was a monk because every decision he made, he planned first.
My hero ensured my safety, never told me what I can’t be, and still made me feel like a baby.
My hero is amazing watch me grow up and be a mirror image.
I even searched for my hero secret ingredient; I threw up to many times eating too much spinach.
When I was finished, my hero told me to wash the dishes.
My hero taught me love, unity, knowledge; and we still have a great friendship.
I see my hero from a clear view and will never put my hero in my rear view.
Even if I move a thousand miles away, my hero would drive a thousand miles today, to tell me dinner is ready and I need to wash my face.
My hero is people I watch today.
If you are influential, motivated, educated, and can add the seasoning to a Sunday dinner you are a hero.
Either to yourself, your family, or a little boy who was once too short to even look through the peep hole.
My hero has no ego, just represents strength, courage, and
wisdom like an eagle.
If life was a canvas how would you paint it
If life was a canvas how would I paint it
Bright colors making rainbows, a picture of fun
Would you paint by the numbers and quickly be done
Approach with simplicity on your brain
A life full of cheer, one that's easy to maintain
This fear arises after staring at my page
A vision played out, a scene of puppets on a stage
A life mapped out from beginning to end
This how you'll dance and all will blend in
From this nightmare I awaken, intent to flee
Trapped in someone's vision, I demand to be free
For my thoughts to run wild, to erupt when they may
Deciding what I dream, what I think, what I say
No cage for my brain, no shackles for my life
Persuade all you want, try to entice
There's one thing I've learned, I yearn for a fight
Opportunity to overcome, triumph, to do right
Just out of spite I'll paint my picture
An array of splatters, a distasteful mixture
A canvas made dirty, ruined in your view
Full of feeling, truth, maybe a little rude
Strokes of genuine love and pain
New life and sunshine, some death and rain
A vision to stay true to this life we all live
No hiding the turmoil or effort we give
While embracing the moments we all live for
Family, adventure, comfort and more
A smile that brings light and calms a storm
Devastating events that cause you to mourn
The good and the bad, the beautiful and ugly
Unique beliefs, standards, and controversy
Displaying our fears of the mundane and unknown
Of the sights we have seen, the ones yet to be shown
A love hate relationship with all that we know
Places we've been, left and hope to go
Outside the lines, no connecting the dots
Refusal to reform nor stay in one spot
No outline to my life, no limit to my potential
More than one muse, all is influential
I'll hang it on my wall for all to critique
To say what they will, my future is bleak
A magnificent mess of highs and lows
A hint of mystery, let the suspense grow
With an area untouched, left blank for a reason
Specially reserved for the upcoming season
A masterpiece in the making, one of a kind
A Jessie Original, you can't have it, it's mine
One man's dream is another's nightmare
So to each their own, let's keep it fair
On learning to become a guru...
The following artfully crafted back in the day
(actually poetic endeavor presented below
written a few scant years ago) in response to
unexpected positive feedback received on
the most popular social media platform.

influential collusion from Russians bestowed yours

which humility of mine humbly accepted without a
protestation, though never would I brazenly adopt
spiritual holiness, yet flattered to share such rare
pronouncements, when unsolicited feedback lobbed
in my direction (way before advent of Information
Technology Revolution) often tendered, kindled, and
belittled this gentle human, sans when bullies slung

targeting personal vulnerabilities, asper being under

this bruised Earthling ideal choice as scapegoat, no

months...a lifetime channel of opprobrious, noxious,

abominable, damnable, horrible diatribes chipping

Vanity take us Deeper into Abyss and Far Away from the Surface
Competition is currently so huge that the influential thoughts from about seven billion smart people, so quest for the choice of our needs will be growing too and this will reduce the opportunities to success.
So if we have yet to build our name, and too picky or selective, then we going to make ourselves even more difficult to achieve something.
It’s the same if it is only with the fun stuff and things, we do not want to get our hand dirty, and our vanity plays the lead role in these.
There are plenty of ways to make money in life, but vanity is not a recommended way to do that, because it reduces our chances and some would not appreciate it.
We should always try to find the balance in our life, it means to keep us well in society with the friends / people around us.
Being critical and demanding to do something does not provide extensive opportunities for us, because a threshold will be set where some people cannot exceed that and they surely will evade themselves from us.
Flexibility is what we need in the world for peace and a better future where people accept the reality and appreciate those who can perform well with a thankful gesture.
We can talk about anything together and there will always be a solution, our entire life is based on this, with a fair way there will be an arrangement for every question or argument.
So afterwards everyone will be satisfied and cheerful with it to continue progress in good harmony, thus our effort won’t be directly in vain because of an useless display of not wanting to do things.
Therewith we preclude any interesting people from us, while if we are interested and even talk together about it well, there will always something can be arranged to persevere in unanimity.
We must all realize that if someone comes to us is that because of confidence and that we must not confound, so if we can not meet on their requirements., we are on the losing side, and that is not forward-thinking option.
So we are far away from the surface and be vanity will make us deeper into the abyss of falling down through the loss of an opportunity.
I wish you a healthy life.
Kindly Regards,

Mixed with light, His grace sighs – a soft light, painting the mornings in new, the nights in a gentle hue, the moments in heavenly truths… by poet
In the cool of the morning,
While the heart feels new, softer
Than the seas who breath tears,
Whispering peace through the verses,
Poetry convinced that God’s hand,
Sturdy like the grace, prayed,
By those who hear Him in the day…
And, feel the silent flow of His spirit,
Dancing through the leaves,
Harmonizing with the wind and sea,
Assuring the believer, his faith
Is more powerful than any hope,
More beautiful than any tree,
More alive than the winds who breath…
In the clearest skies, the stars mingle,
With a clever host, pouring out joy,
Through the seas who tremble,
Yesterday’s music emptied into the heart,
Abiding on the inside of the one who knows
He is light and love – He is the music,
The mystery and the rhythm of a reality….
And, like the night who shivers with sweet kisses,
His love rises higher than the moon, revealing,
All the wonder, the melodies rich and influential,
Erasing the darkness with the sounds of light,
Flowing beyond the rains, the rivers, the rising
Of a heart who can see Him in the forest’s gentle,
Coloring the soul with songs of contentment,
Risking it all to show the love that He intended,
When He gave us these hearts who can feel…
Sentimental, like yesterday is beyond our memories,
Feeding on tears, fears and years,
With only the truth to feed the rain drenched
Flow of liquid faith, the faith who can see,
Beyond the doubts to the victories,
Through the dark that intercedes for a mercy
That is full of praise for the love who stays,
The love who has a way of saying…
God is in control and God always knows,
Whatever may come, through every right, every wrong,
There is the promise of a love that decides…
Wherever He is, there is the light – there is life.
Wherever He is, there is the wonder so bright,
The love that erases every fear, every fight, every feeling
That doesn’t believe Him – and the love that is so alive…
Yes, His love is so ALIVE!!!
My soul can see Him – my spirit believes Him!
I truly believe HIM!
He was called to preach at a christian crusade
in a foreign country. On his last day, he thought to share with thousands of people few things about struggles.
he opened another topic about his country,
he said loudly ,
" My friends hear me well.
Hear this truth from my mouth.
Technology of today lies on the mineral resources
of DRCongo but some parts of my country people struggling
due to rebellions and wars."
Then he started to cry on that international stage.
thousands of folks were so bamboozled
while continued hearing his story.
Sadly to see a well - known pastor crying
due to what he bottled for decades.
total silence reigned in that place
as he was not speaking for some minutes.
Then he said loudly,
" millions of congolese died cruelty
and some western influential leaders are parts
of massacres and genocides in my country
reason why they don't concern to these issues.
I mean even the international community
is involving in the problems of Drcongo."
some people felt pains.
sad message. so sadly in their ears.
he called people with different problems to pray
with him before he could leave the podium.
They went to him
and he prayed for them.
When he finished his sermon , the organisers called
people for contributions.
They collected much money to give to their visitor
minister after the crusade.
When they presented him a brown envelope filling money.
He told his friend pastors to give him the list of trusted local charities
so he could distribute that money
to help the needy.
His friends were confused as they thought he could go
with that money. so they did what he told them to do.
When he was about to leave , he told them,"
my friends , I am so happy for your care , may God bless you abundantly.
don't get me wrong.
I did what God told me to do in your country.
your people need that money more.
Congolese need peace in the entire country more....
so that they can enjoy
their natural resources.
Help us to tell the world about the struggles
of our people in East of Drcongo."
His friends thanked him for his kindness
and he went back home.
