Testimony

Testimonies 
 I am a testimony of my weaknesses,
As they made me stronger and tougher
Testimony of my hard work,
As it taught me to put in the hard work 
Testimony of my what I ploughed,
As you reap what you sow!

I am a testimony of my dedication,
As it taught me to focus on the main goal
Testimony of my past,
As it taught me to prepare for the future 
Testimony of my positive thinking,
As I taught my myself 
To avoid the negative thoughts in my mind 

I am a testimony of my head injuries,
As they made me read and write more!
Testimony of my uniqueness,
As I was taught to think like an Analytical thinker 
Why not do something extra ordinary or out of the box
Than do something known and boring 
I am a testimony of my leadership,
As I was born and bred by a leader

Testimonies 
I am a testimony of my prayers,
As they were all answered
Testimony of my love for books, 
As that is where I get my knowledge
Testimony of my pride
As it taught me to value myself 

I am a testimony of my joy,
As it taught me how valuable it is,
Even though too much of it is a problem 
Testimony of my advantages,
As I knew how to deal with my disadvantages 
Testimony of my pain,
As it taught me not to love 

I am a testimony of my pride,
As it taught me to value myself 
Testimony of my hardships,
As they made me a Monster 
Testimony of my faith,
 As it made me believe 

Testimonies 
I am a testimony of my dreams,
Because I am a Dream chaser 
Testimony of my Evilness,
Because I was turned into a Predator 
Testimony of brutality 
Because I was born and bred a soldier 

I am a testimony of my own tears,
As they taught me to deal with the pain inside of me
Testimony of my decision-making skill,
As I learnt to make the best decision 
Testimony of my power,
As that is the only thing that makes us men in this tough world 

I am a testimony of being old,
Because I grow up everyday 
From being a toddler learning how to walk 
To being a teenager that learnt more about life
To being part of the youth 
Testimony of my perseverance,
As it taught me not to give up at all

Testimony of my intelligence,
As it taught me that in order to understand life
You have to discover in order to recover
Research more about the world in,
Order to prepare for whatever it throws to you

Traditional Leader

I was born a King and Traditional Leader 
A leader amongst leader’s 
A King of King’s 
King of the Universe 
I was born a fighter, warrior,  soldier 
Was marked with blood on my forehead 
To show that I would make money from killing 
I was born with a prophecy 
Born with my mother stressing about how I am to die,
How I am not suppose to drive or walk freely at night,
How good and bad people will hate me,
How I was the light in darkness,
How I am to save the world!
Through healing people from different kinds of illnesses 

I was made a traditional leader through visions
Life was not meant for my grandparents 
They passed away with me a baby 
My grandmother prepared me for the future 
What hurts the most 
Is remembering what she taught me 
Even though she is no longer alive 
I was born to fight for my family 
I am a man most men failed to become 
I worked hard to become unique 
As one saying, States 
Why try to fit in,
While you can standout 
I was born to fix the world,
Deliver an important message, 
Lead the world into a new and better world for all!

I was born with a prophecy like Jesus Christ,
Won my battles like King Arthur,
Founded the United States,
Like the late great grandpa Benjamin Franklin did,
Lived life like Bedronia Lueda, 
The only living eye doctor 
Saved the world the way God did!
I was 
I set the rules,
And my people follow 
I plan an attack, 
And my people execute it 
I give up certain instructions,
And my people follow 
I am a Traditional Leader

Nature

The is nothing more interesting, than nature
From carefully studying all the animals 
That call it a home 
Mainly being from  the tiniest animals, to the largest

From the predators that feed on the meek
As they spill blood all day long,
Just to feed their offspring’s
While filling up their stomachs 

From the Herbivores, 
That mainly graze on the brown grass
Which is signaling end of the Summer season 
And awaiting the beginning of the Winter season 

Funny,
How the plant’s leaf color’s, will change 
From the attractive green color 
To the unattractive brown color

Meaning the leafs would be dry 
You squash a leaf using one hand
Then blow Carbon Dioxide directly into your hand
With the hand wide open 
It release the squashed leaf
Into the cold and harsh air

Within an instant 
The squashed leaf will fly in the direction 
The Carbon Dioxide blows towards

With only just that!
We can therefore say,
There is nothing much more interesting 
Than nature

Life

Life without a meaning is meaning less
 Giving it a meaning may be hard,
But it is the only way to continue living
No matter how hard it may be
Try to define your life
Ask yourself who you really are?
Why are you here alive in Earth?

There is no end in a Universe 
But a human being’s life does come to an end
Meaning we are all going to die 
Death is a process whereby the soul and body separate 
As you are set to begin another journey 
In the spiritual world as a spirit 

It is said spirits do not die or get attacked 
Nor feel emotions 
That simply proves we suffer the most as human beings
Than as spirits 
Even though we have to decide,
Whether to go to Hell or Heaven 

Life is full of amazing things,
Exciting moments 
Yet it can change liking nothing happened 
There is only thing common in life 
It is seen in the tears,
We release every time we get hurt
And tears of joy!

No Love

There is no love in the life we living,
There is no love in the world we live in!
This is a cruel world
Only made for monsters,
The Devil and his Demons 
Those who do evil envy the world we live in!
Can survive for the longest time 
Without having any nervous breakdown 
There is no love in the life we living,
There is no love in the world we live in!
The world we live in was made for criminals,
Gangsters who made it dangerous to walk around at night,
Unarmed and alone 
This is a cold world, 
They say what you go through 
Will strengthen you,
Make you man enough 
In my world the scars you have on your body
Prove how much of a man you are!

There is no love in the life we living,
There is no love in the world we live in!
Only those who cheat and hurt,
 Enjoy life fully!
Only those who steal and do corruption,
Prosper more! 
Only those who do Evil,
Are regarded Holy!
There is no love in the life we living,
There is no love in the world we live in!
Lovers become friends, 
Friends become enemies,
Just after they turn their backs,
Against each other!

There is no love in the life we living,
There is no love in the world we live in!
Love is a emotion not all of us can control 
As our brothers and sisters killed themselves 
For what we call love
They committed suicide,
Because of the pain their hearts failed to bear
There is no love in the life we living,
There is no love in the world we live in!
Those who love are bound to get hurt
Those who fear are bound to live in fear
Those who dream are bound to have their dreams shattered 
What goes up has to come down 
 Love is a curse,
Once the spell is cast 
You can never break or reverse it!

A Bed

A Bed   
My joy and happiness    
My hope that brought faith    
My friend to help me through my darkest times    
From the tears to the pain felt by the hurt heart    
The emotions that range from being sad, depressed and angry    
My doctor and nurse in sickness    
My friend to wipe on my tears and   
Warmth during winter,  with just a  
Blanket added    
My light in darkness    

A bed    
A huge miracle in life   
A beacon of hope as it gives life   
As we welcome life on top of the bed    
From down the hospital corridor, in a hospital ward    
To being old and sick on the same hospital bed    
A bed is needed in the most crucial moments in life    
As all emergencies at the hospital require a bed    
The hectic move from using wood to using metal    
When making Beds   
Funny how the nurses are doing great    
As nobody tells us about the importance of sleeping     

A bed   
A big thanks to you for making us dream   
Made us realize that there is the other me in life    
A life I never attempted to live    
A dream that can turn into reality    
To some a vision that makes them dream more    
From the most powerful to the meek    
The bed has been there for many centuries    

A bed    
You took the tired and meek    
Turned them weak   
In order to resurrect them   
On the following day on the morning   
Give them strength to continue to do their daily tasks    
To move on with building a new   
And better future for themselves   
All dreams start from the bed   
Then the rest is up to the human body   
Mainly the human brain!

Rights

We human beings have rights to adhere to!
And each right is accompanied by a responsibility 

Rights are 
Fundamental legal, social, 
Or ethical principles of freedom and entitlement
Acting as rules that define what is allowed of or owed to people 
They are inalienable, universal, and inherent to all human beings
Protecting dignity, equality, 
And safety regardless of nationality, status, or belief
Rights are an important concept in law and ethics, 
Especially theories of justice and deontology.

There different types of rights
Which include Natural and Legal rights,
Claim and Liberty rights
 Negative and positive rights 
According to Wikipedia 
The history of social conflicts,
Has often involved attempts to define and redefine rights
 
Responsibilities are
The opportunity or ability to act independently,
And take decisions without any hesitation 
According to Google 
Responsibility refers to the state of being accountable
For one’s actions or obligations
It involves being answerable to someone, 
Often referred to as an addressee
For the consequences of those actions
This concept encompasses various attributes 
Such as reliability, trustworthiness, and accountability

Let us become matured
Together with taking responsibilities 
For every right 
Happy Human Rights Day!
