15/F/Rwanda Life is a series of consequent ups and downs that can't be prevented; you just gotta put your own power to the pain.
And if we're no longer slaves Why do we lend an ear to the demons' voices? And if  we've been saved, then why do we still believe we're chained? And if we're children of God, why do we care what the devil's prickle Can hurt And if we believe, why don't we thrive? why don't we conquer? For we're slaves no more, For we're powerless no more For we're worthless no more.

Slave no more
Glory to you Omnipotent, omnipresent Days are worthy cause you live Fill the empty from up there Adviser in all, from up there Teacher guide us,from above Hear us out ,from down here Everything here's a mess Resting on your arms we long

God, Father
Wings stained with longing cries of misfitted sound Melancholy raging deep down Soul the shade of a rainy cloud Yet she wears them proudly With a matching gown and grey halo "These wings are meant to fly,"they say But hey, What are they worth?

Black wings
It's more than just a country It's more than just history It's more than what people see Cause they only see a very small portion And what I see, Is the big picture Much more beautiful than all Picasso's artworks For to me, It's mother nature's masterpiece One that keeps on getting prettier with age; How shall I say it , It's an international controversy' It's Rwanda

What is pride to you?
Cry till you're dry O troubled soul Cry till the eyelids swell O weary heart. But do it all in that corner Where only shadows live In that corner where your ease belongs Dump it all . Then step out with the heart of a warrior; Head held high, For another day unfolds at the death of the darkness, A day for strength A new breath to take Get up and teach those broken wings how to fly again .

Tears flow
you made me smile my eyes twinkled in the dark of the night my heart leapt with delight you made me cry tears ran down my cheeks like crazy you closed my eyes and opened my vision to a whole new world a place where  my dreams were kings where life was a sweet lollipop where there was only victory to devour but - it lasted only a moment it was just for a while

just for a while
Everything we'd designed used to fit us both; gorgeously All the songs we'd sung used to sound; perfectly. But look at us now words quenched, faces dismayed; sadly Where are all those castles we'd built; in the air where are all those poems we'd written; in the stars where are all those gardens we'd planted ; with hope And that fire that kept our spirits alive Drifting through the winds of despair is now ashes

ashes
It screams in silence, where the mouth is speechless. It's creeps In the soul's very darkness. It has no meaning, It's only described by the feeling. It's poetry, The narrator of my history.

It's poetry
Face; an empty expression it carries Emotions; a few share, a few care, a fewer handle Heart; barely knows itself, ever drowning  in insecurities. Life; lacking direction Friends; limited by none other than myself, yet, their reaching out is short Myself; exhausted The World; false, ever changing, frustrating, ungrateful In the end, what am I worth? Jesus's answer: my pain, my death, God's answer: much more than gold, much more than the world itself.

Worth?
TV screens, social media, All  anaesthesia Just a regular dose of it we swallow To keep us surviving the reality that this world us a crumbling mess, An empty hole, a worthless gem A beautiful box that only offers lies and mistrust. Popularity, celebrity Everybody's searchin' for some worth, some place to fit in Somewhere to stick their name in the hall of fame. But take it's all anaesthesia, for it doesn't add or subtract a pound on the scale. The hottest stars, the hottest gossip, Father look what hypnosis,your kids are drinking. Falling for the fake but sweet illusions and fantasies Where time is turned to static and makes them forget of the long road ahead still to be taken. Father look what anaesthesia your kids are taking in... And sadly, it's strong can't let the truth through the door Yet, we all know the blind can only run.into a trap if they ignore the voice warning in the background. Father I wish you could open their eyes before the anaesthesia kills their sight... For eternity
