That poor life you call mundane Drives some people insane That poor life you view with disdain Is what some would go through great pains to attain. Your poor life, is someone else's rich dreams. Be grateful.

POOR LIFE, RICH DREAMS
Good morning Ways open for us Doors open for us Mountains melt before us Rivers part ways Storms hold no sways Why? cos we're children of the most high Above whom there is no one else We're not afraid of the storms Because we have the prince of peace in the boat We just worry the boat won't hold if he doesn't wake up soon But then, he can make us and all that's ours walk upon the waters, Ride the storms as we would ride our boats He owns the storm, he'll teach us to pilot it, He'll give us a ship for the boat we lost Make the hurricane the vessel that takes us to where we need to be Anyways, it's win-win for us Cos we have JESUS

Win-Win for us
I know it's only a passing phase But I wish it could stop now Sometimes I feel like giving up But I've given up on giving up I know am slowly evolving Becoming a better being But this pain is too much

EVOLUTION
In a split second, I had it all and lost it all In a split second, you kissed me and bit me In a split second you built me and destroyed me In a split second you healed me and killed me In a split second you made me and marred me In a split second, you showed me love and blinded me In a split second you gave it all and took it all It takes a split second to hurt, how long till I heal? Does healing take forever?

SPLIT SECOND LOVE
Dear Genie, where are you. Please come back. I seem to have lost it all. All that you earned. The jobs, the morale, the charisma, the devil may burn for all i care, the energy to exercise, thr passion for God, the passage to God, the craziness, more painfully, the love and respect you earned and commanded. You were what i would call "THE PERSONALITY" Dear Genie how did you ever do it? At a time when we had nothing no money, no love, no charisma, no morale, no passion, overcaring, zero respect, no vibes, nothing. You came like a storm and took over. You changed the climate and changed the landscape, you showed me what could be where nothing had been. You dared to dream, you dared anything that dared to threaten our dream. You went for it against all odds, till you achieved what i once called "THE IMPOSSIBLE" Dear Genie, you were never weary, never tired. Never gave up, never surrendered, never angry, never intimidated. You were what people would call "THE PERFECT STORM" But then i felt thought I'd take a break find some peace and start to care. The little i gained, i thought I'd share and i thought i could do without you. I thought i could be "THE BETTER ONE" Dear Genie, Its better said how dearly i paid. The pain i faced for loving, the hurt i endured for caring, the loss i faced for sharing. Beaten, disgraced, betrayed, framed, tamed. I became "THE DEFAMED" Dear Genie, Its been a long and tiring journey. I feel lost and alone...worse, lonely. I need you badly. I'm sacred to dare to dream again, afraid. I feel broken, worse, shattered. All i loved and trusted have betrayed me. Even your God seems silent. I feel like "THE ABANDONED" Arise again o Genie...arise i pray thee. Let your energy course through me again i pray thee. Not through some external stimulant as before, but as an inane genius within. Come as a hurricane and tear apart my fears. Build again my fort, and cut my losses short. I've still got one thing though the music which you birthed God's gift to us back then. I have fed it nurtured it, and now it crawls and calls me "THE FATHER" OUR SON NEEDS YOU BROTHER, OUR MUSIC NEEDS YOU, OUR FUTURE NEEDS YOU. I WANT TO BE CALLED "THE LEGEND"

My phone almost crash But even if it crashes, it gets back up Let's get back up, More than we used to I feel like am dying Is not like am afraid of death You're worth going to hell for But then my only dying wish will be, To die, smiling in your arms Grant this dying man one last wish Cos only then will I rise, a champion in paradise

Champions In Paradise
Darkness, A slight headache. I opened my eyes, More darkness. Last I remembered was drinking merrily From the cup you offered I trusted you, and the friendship you offered And it's got me LOST.

HERE'S MY PHILOSOPHY ON PAIN: If your daily bread is greater than your daily goal, Constant pain tames your wild soul Some pains are brutal but necessary evil If you're to conquer the devil Be careful, be careful still Some pains are completely avoidable, unnecessary evil Arising from lack of will IT'S JUST A Philosophy, JUDGE IT AS YOU WILL.

The Pain Philosophy
Where is it gone The true world Where truth is like the sun Liberal, a formidable lord I dare not call this world a lie But as days goes by and by The fountains of truth dry and dry The spirits of trust die and die And I can't help but wonder and ponder? Where o where, is the true world gone?

TRUE WORLD
This could be me Holding your hands walking naked in eden This could be me Kissing you deeply for every step of ten This could be us Our love boundless, Our passion bottomless Turning deserts to Gardens And Hell to Eden. Yes it's us, but only in my imagination and pen, Sure it's us, but only in my poems.
