I bumped into my personality today
She was in no mood to look my way
I stood aside and let her pass
Interchanging emotions having a blast!
She retraced her steps and reduced her pace
I could see the years worn in her face
Watercolor eyes and tear glass stained
Bone caged ribs of steel, all laced up
too tight to feel!
She gathered her strength, the poet in her
came out from the gloam
Ink soaked she wrote, in different tones
She was words, she was notes
She was a castle and even a moat
She kept herself alive, she did not die
Parts of her personality she tamed not to cry
One for love and one for creativity
She kept one hidden even for tragedy
One personality for the songs she sang
Even one for when she flashed those fangs!
Fifty-five personalities she counted so far
Now she made up her mind to raise the bar
She looked at me with a crazy smile,
You see she counted on me all the while.

Now gather ‘round and hear this tale,
Of a brother cool, calm, and never stale.
It started on a peaceful morn,
When Idan himself was quietly born.
Jehovah smiled and said, “I will
Give kindness form— son of Bill.
He won’t be loud, he won’t wear gold,
But trust me, watch this man unfold.”
He gave him peace, a decent brain,
A knack for calm in worldly strain.
And then, of course, He added flair—
A subtle humor, light as air.
Now years have passed, and here we are,
Still watching him raise the bar.
He’s not on stage, no spotlight glare,
But when he’s near, you know he’s there.
A friend like few, a brother true,
With steady hands and honest view.
He’s not the loudest in the crowd,
But trust me, when he speaks—wow, loud!
You’ll hear no fuss, you’ll see no flair,
But Afam’s presence fills the air.
With joyful calm, with steady tone,
He makes Jehovah’s goodness known.
He shows up sharp (well... most the time),
With Scriptures ready and thoughts that rhyme.
He’ll say, “Let’s read,” then make a pun,
And boom! The scene twice as fun.
He loves when folks start growing strong,
He cheers them on, he tags along.
No jealousy, no heavy boast,
Just quiet joy—that’s the most.
But lest we drift and miss the key:
He walks in faith, obediently.
He doesn’t claim the praise or shine—
He knows all glory is divine.
Yet still we pause, with grins so wide,
To thank Jehovah for what's inside—
This brother, friend, this man we know,
Who walks the path where blessings grow.
So here’s to Afam—faithful and bold,
A heart that shines, more pure than gold.
Keep walking strong, keep being you,
Because the world feels better with Idan in view.
Many people are suffering just because they don’t know where you have been; many people are suffering; they are walking around with their hand on their chin.
It was just the other day their company was up and going, they made the executive branch salary too high and after six months the profit fell through the sky.
A hundred thousand people got axed and the managing director gets sacked, his bonus payment was too high and it sends the company flying in the sky. He was in and out of the office having lobster and margarita for lunch, roast beef, barbecue and chicken nuggets for dinner with a host of people sitting at his table waiting for dinner.
Many people are suffering because they have no health insurance, car insurance, life insurance or a steady income. Their lives depend on favor and they are badly in need of an urgent make over.
You are all running around shouting about the dollar and the crown, can’t you see that the people are suffering and the government is singing a different hymn? The tone is too high and the rhythm is off beat and it will send everyone running around in the street .To lose control over the things you once owned is enough to send you chasing the bull out of the town.
Many people are suffering because you don’t’ have a plan on how to distribute the wealth all over the land, the gap between the rich and the poor is too broad and you have to stop the killer that is at large, the little hole will sink the ship and the big holes will plunge you into the precepit.
You must raise the pay scale for the educated man and those without schooling must get paid based on their ability and skills. You have got to raise the bar and cut out the retirement age, it must not be used as a criterion and requirement to go to heaven. Show me a solid action plan that can put food on the table, pay my bills and give me a decent savings.
The writers and actors guild are on strike and they cannot roll the dice, many celebrities are broke and they have no sugar to wet their throat. You have got to find a temporary solution before you find a permanent one, Jesus uses five fish and five loaves of bread to feed the multitude on the mountain, meet with the union and create a recipe for a new deal one that is acceptable and is strong as steel.
HEAR ME ROAR….
You think you’re better than me,
Trying to dominate the very soul that created you, protected you
Maybe a century ago you could say men had a say,
Only because we were not allowed to, in the law of tradition not principles,
But not now, not this century we have a voice now,
A say, from all this barbaric confusions and war that is implemented in their heads.
We women fight every day for our freedom, for our right, because at the end of it it’s about equality not victory.
We know you can past us by and we don’t care, At least we can control ourselves But we caught your attention obviously you’re so week, so fickle that only a raise of our dress can make them forget who they really are.
Patriarchy is so evident, you wear a short dress you’re a ****, you have a Tattoo you’re a lesbian
But now we can accomplish the unlimited we can raise the bar and prove them wrong,
There is no limit to success, we have choices ladies, we have freedom and that’s what matters.
The World is at the figure tip no more being treated like a “doormat” we have “rights”.
Form:
Look up, look up, so one can clearly see -
To change our world, we first must change our mind.
Up is best and it shall always be,
Hope in happiness, one is sure to find.
Basic injustices cannot make us one,
If true values should be driving our youth -
Equality alone can get this done.
Let us raise the bar we set for the truth.
It is the open mind that tends to engage,
Deceit is always dispensed by free will.
Then, the honest hearts will feel the real rage,
No reason now to abide a quiet quill.
As all earth is in flames, we reach higher,
Whoever believes in dreams, they must aspire!

Karma in this life
(It's my season now)
By Michelle Morris
19/11/2022
They took me for granted
They used me up for fun
Enjoyed fun and games
Not caring how it hurt
But, they forget the lesson
About karma in this life
It's time to pay the piper
It's time to set it right
'Cos it's my season now
And I am rising high
I am free to fly
Like a shooting star
Yeah, it's my season now
And you're trailing in my wake
I've forgotten all about you
But you'll remember your mistakes
Don't let people bully you
Don't let them hurt your soul
Walk away and forgive them
Find a better place for your home
Energy is everything
And you can make it high
You deserve love and care
On your life's highway
So, sing it now...
'Cos it's my season now
And I am rising high
I am free to fly
Like a shooting star
Yeah, it's my season now
And you're trailing in my wake
I've forgotten all about you
But you'll remember your mistakes
We only get one life
But it's special and it's ours
We need to live it clean
We need to raise the bar
There's no need for darkness
Anger or regrets
If you're kind to everyone
You'll be a better friend
And you can live it now...
'Cos it's my season now
And I am rising high
I am free to fly
Like a shooting star
Yeah, it's my season now
And you're trailing in my wake
I've forgotten all about you
But you'll remember your mistakes
I've forgotten all about you
But you're paying for your mistakes

The public is invited to
The auction house before
The art is bid on, sold and then
Is carried out the door.
Since I live close, I love to go
To check out the display
And wonder ‘bout the patrons -
All that money they might pay.
I couldn’t really picture
A Picasso on my wall
Next to pictures of my family –
That just wouldn’t work at all.
Plus, some modern pieces, which, to me,
Were boring or bizarre,
Were expected to fetch millions;
Famous painters raise the bar.
Still, I felt so privileged just to see
What private owners hold,
Even though it won’t be me
To whom the auctioneer yells, “Sold!”
Before you merry in the holidays in all ways commercial
Remember we commemorate God's Love impartial
Loud and riotous hedonism on every wasteful spree
Is one bond from which ye must be set free
For ye need not insight from the law and the prophets
To discern that day will break with many regrets
So come away from worldly ways
If you must see profit in your youthful days
Let your celebration be guided by the day's meaning
Let your belief this day meet its weaning
A believer graduated from milk to meat
For your call and its cost you are about to meet
So eat to your fill for the journey is far
If for the prize set before you, then raise the bar
Live not like the lost when you have been found
Let you have power, love and your mind be sound
K. Muitherero.
Oh, living, breathing star
how beautiful you are.
You pulsate from afar-
our cosmic avatar.
Life beats inside your heart
that rends dust-rays apart
so elements- impart
the gifts of which we're part.
Life's building blocks you spread-
earth creatures- your seedbed;
your precious prize, widespread
from richest dust- inbred,
with sulfur, nitrogen,
mixed well with oxygen;
and carbon, hydrogen-
add phosphorus- life's spun.
Oh, living, breathing star-
your heartbeat is bizarre.
Dear God did raise the bar-
has made you what you are.

"The crucial elements for life on Earth, often called the
building blocks of life can be abbreviated as CHNOPS:
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and
sulfur. For the first time, astronomers have cataloged the
abundance of these elements in a huge sample of stars."

Sometimes when I wake up in the early morn,
my life, from the page's of life, seems to be torn.
Thing's make no sense, so in my mind I travel far,
as I meditate on today, I try to raise the bar.
I try to be what the spirit show's me within,
I'm going to raise the bar and a new day in God begin.
To be a better me with the ending of each day,
as I learn to listen to the spirit lead the way.
I live in a new world it seems each day that I wake,
searching, finding, and learning from each and every mistake.
To learn by our mistakes, to be humble enough to see,
in all our worldly troubles, no matter what they be.
If we learn to be led by the Spirit of God within,
we would catch each mistake before we even begin..
