When you're hot
I mean when you start
Glowing or winning
Instead of them to flow
They start looking for faults
Bringing the past you've outgrown to shine
Just to bring you down
Stay strong, so they won't think their plots or plans have been manifested.
When you're happy
They'll do anything
To make you bored
Just to see you sober
Or slow you down
But you're a soldier
Don't surrender
Just stay locked in yourself.
When they see you on top
They will do everything to rip you apart
Just to see you down again at the bottom
I'm talking about your oppositions
No matter how lovely or kind you are
There's always a rivalry
A savior was nailed in Calvary
Jesus Christ to be precise
So; my brother leave story
Just give God the glory
For him to give you victory.
It is said that if I make this oath with God,
Blessings would start to rain down
But why when it storms,
Like beams when it sounds
They used love for elaborate personification
Just to keep my minds ego held down
Seems as if my soul is hell-bound
Now you can feel it in the heat of the night
Then I came henceforth; she came twice
"He may not be the best in the world, but the boy's nice"
Momma alwatold me to make it better than the last time
When we climax, it's like she throwing gang signs
Resulting in loud collision; the oppositions
A systematic arrangement in the classes
She hailed down oaths that she was only classified as mine
November 22 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Acts 27-28
Key Verse – Acts 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR CHEERING US
WITH HIS GOODNESS
Praise be to God for cheering us with His goodness despite:
Oppositions opening ridicules
Opponents offering reproaches
Oppressions optimizing their restraints
Objections ostracizing us in their rebukes
Outcomes overwhelming us with reproofs
Acts 28:15 Praise be to the Lord for
giving us courage so we can:
Achieve with commitment by His graciousness
Accept challenges through His goodness
Act along character of gratefulness
Avoid carnality that is grievous
Accomplish for Christ’s glory
Acts 28:38 Praise be to the Saviour for
allowing us to preach His kingdom while:
Trusting His timeliness
Teaching about His truth
Toiling midst tests and trials
Testifying along His trustworthiness
Treading upon His turf and tarrying in His temple. Amen!

A black cloud envelops my sky
Threatening to rain down a torrent of pain
Oceans of commotion swirl in my brain
And I try to bandage the wounds in vain
I see only the receding vistas of light
And night prowling like a stealthy thief
The past chills the mind like hanging icicles
And I feel so heavy with frozen grief
I inch my way up like an ugly snail
My life is riddled with contradictions
Oh, I am waylaid, lost and beaten
From every corner, I meet only oppositions
Yet dreams break forth in my heart
Amidst darkness shines a light
A call to spirit to seek the gift of recovery
Transforming pain into strength and delight
I must break loose of all the tethers
Let my soul embrace all that is dear
From this cage, I must fly out
The sky beyond me lies blue and clear!
Even at moments when we feel,
God has forsaken us, time assures;
However bad things are, recovery is possible,
When God is there quelling all our fears.
Now I am on a journey of redemption
I tell myself- “Come out from this hell
Just start anew, nothing is beyond recovery
The dawn is near and all shall be well”
Neutrality
Defined as that
Between seeming
Oppositions
Not red and not blue..
Neutrality poses as
The emptiness of
Each opposition...
Stillness
Suggests motion
Which suggests
Mapping of
Space and time..
In the map
Thoughts seem
To rise to
Lay out stories
Of past and future..
These seem as
Features of
Words
Oppositions
Language...
Nothing
Expresses as
Birth and death
And all between..
So when oppositions
Seemingly
Promote separation
A reset to Nothing
May arise..
Peace of not knowing...
Releasing egoism, vanity, and idle
chatter destroyer of hope. What's
in it for you and me? Releasing
Unconsciously second-guessing
self, Overthinking situations that
no longer serve one's purpose. Releasing
Why want anything pushing it away?
Anxious thoughts hurt people, hurt people,
Self-indulgences, False Evidence appearing
real, Bribes and cold, cruel-hearted individuals,
failures, illusions, and oppositions. Releasing
the spices
of life are
life itself..
seeming
oppositions
simultaneously
rise and fade..
a new day
arising
is not new
as the night
is not past...

I cannot focus on what they did
My focus is upon family and my kids
Whom-have supported me from day one
I speak now that thy kingdom has come
Where from
The deep debt of a chosen one
To let go of the past from so many some
Tried to come against your royal priest
Some have come and exposed as many thief’s
Why me
Why not
Because the remnant had been called
And oh set apart
Mysterious to some and some may had known
I am grateful for your power
Yes we behold
That were we go favor we are told
No more deceitful oppositions
We know are now apart
That they are fallen back to the dirt mashed down torn apart
For judgement and vindication and death they are cold
Returned the wealth from the wicked they stole
For a time but the moment has exposed
The nose spewed them out of His nostril
Taken back what they had owe
Had to give freely released
Everything they stole is back to my family
Do you know that European Union
lies on African division.
As some Africans start tighten their union
There is reduction of illegal productions
and distributions of African natural resources
which pushed the augmentation
of frustrations of some Europeans.
Remember, some Africans rejected neo- colonisation
Which was a new version of colonisation
That continue to ridicule many black nations
All over the World.
Many black folks must continue with oppositions,
Opposing all sorts of oppression as majority victims
of many atrocities on the planet earth from centuries.
Remember, It is not crime to continue to speak truths
about wrong things in the World.
It is always good for some people to claim their rights
whenever they are abused.
find it easy,
when millions of black people are rising peacefully
because they are marginalised globally.
The world was made for all races
to live peacefully.
If fifty four African countries move freely
It is the victory of all marginalised nations.

I am a woman…
I am a woman
Part of a powerful clan
Now is the time we must take a stand
Our rights are being taken
Our books are being banned
They want to erase us, it’s all very planned
The positions of politicians
With large egos and ambitions
Is the cause of these oppositions
What are we to do?
I won’t be remembered as a
women who kept quiet
My voice is as big as my size
Quite large as I don’t diet
Some hear me screaming and think it’s a riot
Just know I accept you
You have my respect
Nothing you do has had a bad affect
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
What’s wrong with people’s minds?
How can they be so unkind?
Fences
This side and
The other side
Inner and outer
Center and edge
Peace and conflict..
These oppositions
Tell the stories
Of lives past and
Present..it is the
Guts of history
And stories that
Seem as identities..
Grand illusions
Which no matter
Are simply Wow...
In transit to Africa destination delayed,
trapped in Turkey loopholes restrictions,
Oppositions, unfamiliar faces, language barriers a nightmare, disoriented, feeling out
of place amongst hired help especially at a airport, ill treatment doesn't feel so hospitable, lack of comprehension enroute
trapped being a foreign national in a unknown land.
En route trapped in transit in Turkey
loopholes, restrictions, oppositions and
unfamiliar faces, language barriers in a
foreign sovereignty, disoriented, feeling
Out of place amongst hired help, ill-
treatment doesn't feel so hospitable
When its lack of comprehension. En
route trapped as a foreign national.
