Blessed Are Those Who Stand For Christ Unashamed
Blessed is the one unashamed to stand for Christ.
I’m not perfect, I’ll never be.
But repping Christ ain’t about perfection
It’s about running to the well of life,
To the one who is perfect,
Who is life.
He’s the one who gives life,
Who shapes broken vessels into his likeness.
So come – come with your voice,
Come with your gifts, your hands

To Stand for Good
Respect from fear amounts to nothing
What killing ever gained us something
The conscience never came out bluffing
A horrid dream; a sickle cutting
To the violent comes destruction
First an offence then action taken
A human market
Flesh is traded
Sometimes it feels God forsaken
Where are the good guys
Will they make it
If you're a real one, people waited
To see your

THE ALERT
It's so crazy out here
Just like hell
You gonna regret
Every negative act you put out here.
It's not your
Regular game
So wake up
Pray up
So your wings don't breakup
While soaring higher above all limitations.
Build up
Stay on guild
So you don't lose guide
Paving ways for the dawn
Bringing all the light
To outshine them dark
Stand for your right not your

I Stand for a Unified People
There’s no victor and no vanquish,
The so-called rising sun of Biafra has been set forever,
It would be a disservice for anyone to refer to any eastern state of Nigeria as Biafra,
The tragic chapter of violence has just ended,
We’re at the dawn of national reconciliation,
Once again we have an opportunity to build a new nation.
My dear

In standing
Stand up for humanity..Reject gross insanity.!
Lionize real freedom, converse with tact and reason'
If your hearts been broken, its a sign your loves not token
Cultivate a will; and mind like steel.'
Share with those you find are real
If you give? And seldom take, you'll confuse the slithering
Snake' If you rob no other man' or woman' in all

What Does S Stand For
What does S stand for
Not the best of meanings
Let's learn a bit more
And with synonyms, I'm teeming
Sinister, Satan, Snake
Someone who's fake?
Stressed, Stirred, Spite
Somone not feeling right?
Serious, Strict, Stern
Someone who's firm?
Secluded, Shut-in, Strange
Someone thought to be deranged?
Sappy, Sad, Sorrow
Someone quite holllow?
The denotation is simple
The 19th alphabetical letter
But the connotation is different
I find it must better
The serpent

A Thank You Poem To the Bravery
I think it's genius
when a person can
see beyond the veil
as they used their gifts
in the most creative way,
in imperiling the darkness
in a jesting way.
This is what we call comedy.
There are many but
few will dare to speak out.
The few to speak out
are the most noble ones
with the heart of a lion.

Take a Stand For Freedom
Take heed, poet friends, you too, may be taken from your house.
Your money, your children, your lives maybe by our current
government be sought.
Oh, those chilling words, “Your children are ours”
You must fight….your lives nor theirs, cannot be bought”
This is time to awake, fight back now, you are not the
Federal government’s mouse!
Control and

The Balancing Act
THE BALANCING ACT
I woke up again, again and again,
Rewind the incidents that gasped before me;
I was a freak at that time, there I was saved by a matriarch,
Oh! I was dried and dehydrated yesterday –
In a place where full of delicate young beings who were glossed up well “Outer mostly”,
But, did you think

I Shall Stand- I Stand For Christ
I am a fallen son divided by sum;
I rise in my dilemma no longer hide;
I before humanity
Yet stand for Jesus
No need to appease;
I shall stand
For the righteousness of God
For I will stand for righteousness fall for naught
For I stand for the calling, I stand for...Christ

What I Kneel For and What I Stand For
It seems that politics today invades nearly every aspect of life,
And creates forlorn misery, pitiful stress and needless strife.
We can't enjoy sporting events 'cause its even permeated the sports domain,
All across this great nation from California to the rocky shores of Maine!
Over-paid athletes kneel when the Anthem is played, which is their right,
But doesn't this

I Stand For the Flag
I stand for the flag
It represents patriotism
I stand for justice, truth, freedom
I stand for the flag
It puts a lump in my throat
I stand to show respect to show love
I stand for the flag
It represents the Viet Nam War for me
And the Gulf War when my daughter enlisted
I stand for the flag
Because to me it represents
