tossed upward by a capricious, wild...

Not in hostility of his fellow brother
He believes in the sound of drum of
Wisdom in his ears for transformation
A true African believes in obedience to the law

Girl Side

A lock and chain surrounds my heart. 
As true love can only have the key. 
A person comes and tells you that they love you.
But can you believe them when you walk away?

A boy...

utilized for burning debris or...

shoes untied,
hair uncombed,
just a run away,
no way to belong;
walking the streets so all alone
tattered clothes, ransack home;
eating out of the trash cans day N night

Surrender your burdens
To the feet of providence
When down and out in gardens
Sweeping seas of indigence

That swamp your every mood
For reasons unknown
Understood and misunderstood under the hood
Worn in low moods known

To trigger bouts of doubts

Cloaked in grinding whispers
Such inhabitants feel
Their way
Gallop the day
By thrusting, trusting
Emblazoned minds

Daring risks trickling
The vacant gutters
Thirsty for adrenalin
And a satisfying gulp
Of shattered dreams
Fashionable...

Sharper the pain, then a cut throats blade
So difficult it is, to sever a link
A most bitter pill, a swiftly poisoned drink
Hearts broken, anger left was my faulting
Fates...

I have had my heart torn to pieces
From inexplicable pain and devotion,
Sown seeds of trust and reaped distrust,
I have gardened it, in dry stormy deserts and in green plains,
And garnered nixes as deserved and underserved,

The golden life I claim
Was neither earned
Nor deserved,
For I climbed the ladder
Trampling the underserved.

On the day of reckoning
When I count all my wins,
No way can I explain
Why there were no losses.

Regrets accumulated over time
Now demand...

He gives us undeserved kindness because he loves us a lot.
The Lord will give us kindness even though we make mistakes and sin.
If we repent and...
