I am a hatchling
Who hardly knows a thing,
I don't have much of a past,
The world is wide and vast,
I don't know what to do
In my life that's bran-new,
I need someone to lead me
To where I should go and be.
I am a hatchling,
Warmth is essential in the night;
Soon I'll be a fledgling
Once I've grown feathers for flight,
I don't know what to do
In my life that's bran-new
I need someone to teach me
How to sing and fly free.
I used to live inside a shell
Now I'm fresh out of the egg;
I'm a chick coming of age,
I won't be trapped in a cage.
I now know what to do
I'm soaring in skies of blue,
I have someone with me
Two of us perched in a tree.
Never boasted
Always looking
Up to thy creator
His power
Self reliance
Believing he can do anything humanly possible.
Never chased clout
Steady Self reliance
Believing in hard work
Consistence in all he does
Some people's love
Comes with intentions
So; he's steadily relying on self
Without pretence or defence
No alliance
Just self reliance
Only God his supplier or helper.
Never to get favor
By disgracing other
It's like climbing mountain
As someone pushing you up
The winning has value
When having the self effort
Is done not in disdain but privy
Victory that is worthy is happiness.
Delay by Him has taken its toll,
Waves of doubt rollover the soul,
Despair extinguished the Spirit,
Wax-filled ears would not hear it.
"Listen, you have left My way!
Wait for My providence and pray.
Change of direction is needed."
But His correction went unheeded.
The restless spirit wrests control,
God's will is no longer the goal,
The anxious heart is not ideal,
So, failing eyes, meet banana peel.
Seeking refuge in my enemy's camp,
I was turned into a foolish scamp,
Philistine mouths were agape.
So, I feigned madness to escape.
That was dumb, I'm ashamed to say,
Letting fear and doubt cloud my way.
The Lord's shelter never fails,
His faithful acts tell the tales.
Keep seeking the Lord in a trial,
Relying on Him is worthwhile.
Instead of becoming milquetoast-
In Him, a reason to boast.
"Come children and listen to Me.
Fear of the Lord will set you free!
Wait for Me to settle the score,
David teaches in Psalm thirty-four."
after violence
what we had was reliance
on total silence
down hall would waddle
upset and went full throttle
all about bottle
when in time we froze
suggest and everyone knows
caws would come from crows
Come and be a part of me, now conjoined
Our lives meshed relentlessly caught
Netted forever in daily favours we appoint
In constant debt to save love's abort
Entity rules written on parchment ethereal
Compile acumen requirements
Tolerance adopts compassionate interior
Faith pledge beckons kindness
Independance threatens from near corner
Sinister as demon intending to leap
Reports a lost opportunity to love coroner
Solitary plight, pride intends to keep
Conscious strive for linking brings prosper
Combined denotes concerned
Response an innate component longed for
River of reciprocation yearned
Innoculated beneath doctrine of obligation
Committed beings tread carefully
Self derived bliss retains a vapid formation
Of solace seen in together revelry
1st November
- torn in concept
of tug of war demanded
by needing others as much
as I rely on myself
Let’s be self-reliant much
So none can con one such
Let’s keep sharpening saw
Never mind if it’s an extra
Let’s sell brain and brawn bro
Only to the highest bidder lo..!
Dependence makes one low
Much loss never before so
Folks take one for granted
As if one is never wanted
The life becomes aimless
Slavery thus overwhelms
Harassment and humiliation
Embarrassment, frustration
Before life lacks purpose I say
Be self-reliant come what may..!!
Freedom comes from within
You can beat me, whip me, slash me, splash me
but I am still free
to think what I want about you
to plot your demise
to write your transgressions down in my soul's center
Freedom comes from within
I can be in the most boring of boring of boring math classes,
not paying a bit of attention, but looking raptly attentive,
to fool the teacher, as I create my next poem, or my next painting
Freedom comes from within.
You can smack me and smash me,
You can stick a gun in my face.
I am free to worry about what comes next,
or think about my children and how much they will miss me.
Freedom comes from within.
Survivors know this
better than most
and
always
Reliance On Trump Silence
Best thing about Trump is his silence;
Depend upon and have much reliance;
And he will
Our wishes fulfil;
Always do hope daily for his compliance.

I was a government investigator
In our trashed world full of haters
You see we had ravaged our world wide
And each day things got worst and mired
Our computers disappeared when the electricity ended
And researching from libraries is extended
I met him in the street one day
Just getting by himself the best way
But he was a wonderful find
As he was a savant with a genius mind
Who read a whole book in a short hour
Reading two pages at a time was his super-power
So when I am investigating a crime
He is my researcher in my kind
For he knew most everything
Giving me the background to crime was his thing
So I became the reliable one
Bringing in criminals at the point of a gun.

In Silence Have Reliance
To bare fruit soil must not be bare,
So should start shaking seeds everywhere,
And the strongest shall always survive;
Continue growing and remain alive.
Once you have tried again and again,
Make sure you know where to begin;
Depend on God and His great guidance
Pray in silence and on Him have reliance.

Before I fall head over heels,
I ask the Lord, please show me what's real,
He knows the sensitivity of my soul,
He also knows when I love I don't let go,
If a freak thing happens, and I must leave,
He's answering my prayers, because he's protecting me,
He will take me away beyond my control,
And later what's revealed will open my eyes to know,
He covers my heart when danger is near,
And he's allowed me to speak pass the fear,
When the wind beats against me, he will block it with his hand,
Your not touching her! She's mine! You understand!,
My strength lies in him, and in case you didn't know,
He's erased my sins, and made me white as snow,
So you can compare social status all you want,
Because first and foremost, he's the man of my heart,
If intentions are bad, he'll let me see,
I will not rely on the world to see,
You can call me too sensitive, gullable, or naive,
Because my God will surprise you, it won't be me.
SELF RELIANCE
Let the tall man be not too proud
Of himself but let him consider the short man also who is in the same street like a nylon
Going up To get something from the sky
Let the short man be not glad because
We all need each Other to Survive
But sometimes,
Learn To do things on your own
Don't rely on others for help
Learnto. Wash your clothes
Not expecting your mother or househelp
To do it for you day and night
For they may travel someday
Learn to store your mind
with treasure of the phoenix
Learn to equip. Your heart with love and knowledge and there you are on a ladder
To great height.
he said: i'm a woman of steel...
he doesn't know this a fraud seal...
my heart and soul on a "hill"..
wishing nothing but complete heal...
i have long live to love..
knowing, these all wants to have..
i have taken so many risks..
fallen unwavering to various tricks..
i am not a materialistic..
nor am i a someone plAtonic..
i got heart small not gigantic..
yet, it beats huge with ethics..
i fought hard within hot waters..
seeking fortresses, guarding to buffer..
i conquering with God who gives power..
no less, success it yonder...
patience..
patience..
patience..
i don't want to be on defiance
though, i am of silence
appearing tough and of calmness..
tell you what, inside is a shaky reliance.
I need a space for silence
where I can commune with Him
God, my reason for everything
who calls me even in times of difficulties.
His ways may not be our ways
but his essence speaks the enormity
of humanness and divinity
across this world of frailty.
I guess I have to move on
amid some trials and afflictions;
it’s really a matter of faith conviction
that I have to hang on to His will.
With all the problems I meet each day,
I still stand up and face them with optimism
it’s really a great deal of faith that I’ve to keep going
in this world of struggles awash with denunciation.
I see how it works, along with temptations,
pride and obdurity to insist on my own
but with an attitude of humility and nothingness
makes me rely just on Him for the rest of my life.
