Like a bird
I just saw a bird on a barbwire prison wall.
I just saw a bird pick up crumbs from the prisoners waist.
I just a bird sing from his heart while the warder frowns.
I just saw a bird wash himself in sand.
I just saw a bird leave when he felt like.
I just saw a bird live by not worrying.

Pikin Faith
Pikin no know creed.
Pikin no sabi code of beliefs.
Pikin go only wake up and cry for food.
Pikin go only tell papa and mama with tears if him no get mouth.

Unless your faith be like pikin heaven gate go bend your nose.

Hot tea in 7'C
Plenty of cups to keep warm
Plenty of warmth in the middle
Plenty of hang outs and jist
But when you retire
When you begin the snore
Something enlarges your bladder
The strange visitor
And it's frequency
Every 15, 15 minutes the
Toilet door must be opened
You must make piece
Of course for peace
So instead of sleep
You must from your bed slip
Only to be touched by the cold chill
In 7'C -

The Feminine Power
Once I dreaded finality
The coldest embrace of the earth
Making sure she takes back
Finally what is hers.
But that was the ignorance
We all hated to see the light for.
The motivation to live in the steady
Nature of time was once oiled by the daughters of Eve,
Yes a feminine back
Not a canine bark.
I once read a piece were the feminine is responsible for the genius in men,
And I am afraid now that the heart's issues are more confusing and cold.
Some of us may prefer mathematics and the new discuss about the fifth force though withdrawn from the numbers and notations explaining them.
The feminine power
Isn't a canine tower
Built by the cemented bones of the
Broken
But by the Labour of birth
Her salvation
And the song she daily repeats about hope.

Your Portion O' Levite
O Levite forget not your portion
O Levite forget not the promise
O Levite it ain't a curse
For the day you do, you may inherit Gehazi's
Curse.
For the day you do you may not have the hands to take home the gifts.
For the Lord God is your exceeding portion.

The Eunuch
Let the Eunuch who loves peace
Who loves justice
Who loves righteousness
Who loves the way of the HOLY ONE
Not say I am only a "dry tree"
For the Lord would make him a memorial
In the temple. A name greater than sons and daughters would be given him.
And his name shall be eternal.
(Isaiah 56:3)

The Hedonist
The subtilty in the persuation of the materialist,
His appeal to the five senses,
His total disregard of the life to come
Yet forgetting we all are pleasure seekers.
The Spiritual man may deny his taste buds
But this denial isn't an end in itself,
We deny if need be for the eternal pleasures promised.
The pleasure of the tree of life
The pleasure of light
The pleasure of peace
The pleasure of unbelievable sights
The pleasure of heaven
The pleasure of the street of gold
The pleasure of music
The pleasure of crowns
The pleasure of God himself and
Sitting with his Christ.

School of Shaking Tables
In the realms of tables
And among guts to shake them
There is but one teacher and master
There is but one who we can imitate
He is no other but Yeshua
He shuck them
And flipped them upside down.
He turned them so much so
The authorities were scared to question
Where he got his authority.
He shuck them tables with passion,
He shuck them with koboko.
He shuck them up even coins were rolling away.
He shuck them the doves where happy to fly
He shuck them his disciples were stirred to remember prophesy.
Finally friends in the game of shaking tables be like Yeshua Almasiah.

For a Disturbed Soul
There is no denying we
Living in messed up ages.
False sages,
Acting and teaching as though
They are the rock of ages.
Pointing directions but all
Is the Broadway.
Plenty voices,
Aiding wrong choices.
The UN can't give the peace,
Peace to eternal matters.
Peace to soul letters.
Letters from the glob,
Can't be paid by the richest Forbes.
How many in miserableness,
Have taken to suicide,
Hoping for an answer
Through eternity from NASA?
Doctors may prescribe
But can't fix the soul.
There is a promise for
Our burdens.
A gentle voice in the storm.
There is a way out,
From the prince of Peace.
An eternal fix,
For a disturbed soul.

Friendship
Friendship is a connection
Friendship is like a company
Made up of all different departments
To keep it functioning
Some friendships last
Some don't
Some are real
Some not
Real friendship isn't
about money or materials
Its about being there
To nurture, to care, to love
Friendship is about
Helping each other
Sacrificing for one another
Spending time with each other
Just being yourself
Just being free...

Through the Eyes of the wise
I see men on streets dancing and cheering to the rhythms of uncertainties, unaware of who they are or what they can be.
I see lovers kissing under the shade of a tree stealing their moment of infinity, from this so-called time, throwing every mortal into the boundless pool of insanity.
I see women losing the sight of reality, getting flustered of what a man should be, settling for the ones who have wealth but lacks morality.
I see love standing on the edge of its own grave, breathing its last, losing its grip over two souls who've lost their way to each other, in this world full chaos and depravity.

No more suicide please...

#survivalThe Stigma The Taboo Ends IN The fastest relief people find in Suicide...
Why we are living in the age of darkness?
Yes I call it the dark age the age of ignorance and discrimination of humanity and the basic tendency to look after the neglected ones who are pushed and kicked by us at some point which made them stern to commit suicide.
Where and when we lost the first taught lesson of life the simple gift of love which we learn in our cradle right after birth.
Why this staunch mechanism is becoming our only faith we follow it with a blindfold towards life and going insane with stress.
Why not we speak up or stand when we are losing all that is binding us our faith our love why we push ourselves to die an un-natural death when all the worries and baggage of past and of future to come is itself either lost or uncertain. STILL we carry its debts.
What makes people think that death will put everything to an end.
Have anyone ever thought that your journey to an un- expected self conspire end would leave a legacy of depression behind you and the trail of what you set forth would be followed by someone more precious than this life to you in the same stress.
When this devil of all thoughts called suicidal thought strikes your mind hit it back with a little faith and pause for a second to think about those who love you the most in all kinds of distress.
When you will defeat the darkness within the light of hope will rescue all the powers to calm your mind and let you think a single reason to survive no matter be it for bread for love for some other mischief which tends you to take suicide as a discourse, life has worth to live even if pain is what you have to impress.
Live for the sake of life which has come to you with lots of surprises it will bestow all that gits when you face it with courage to condemn all that distress.
