34/M #herdsmanofprogress / Am expediently Savvy, reloquished and distant from Ferocity.
Pass me a glass So I can sip off my sorrow I can’t hold the bottle so long Give me a toothpick too So I can ***** the taste of this wine I was drunk before I got sober Wondering about the past instead of thinking of the future Render me hopeless for I am drinking to find myself where I didn’t get lost When tomorrow cometh remind me I was hereto not as a drunkard but a man who tried and was disappointed by my kindness that I passed to those I cared for I was an Angel turned into a demon Church was my favorite house and now I prefer the bar To wash me off the memories of goodness passed to many others I am already judged only awaiting for judgement The kindness all forgotten out ruled by numbered mistakes Having seen Heaven on earth hoping there is no earth in heaven Let me suckle on the air of the earth while the classes get to cleanse my throat

At The Bar
When I grow up I won’t be like my father That my return home scares off everyone, the dogs to sleep and children to their rooms and the wife to the kitchen I won’t take food questioning fewer pieces of meat and the unmeasured spices in the sauce Neither will I have my own chair in the house or a pair of plate and cup used by me alone I won’t be like my father Shouting at the maids and quarreling with the gateman Saying harsh and big f**** words that can’t fit the size of my mouth Not like my father To disguise as a gentleman to the public yet a horror at home A thief of peace at home Dashing out quacks of fake smiles and rendering empty promises to win hearts I won’t be like him Not buying things at home but rather splashing cash in the bars Not producing children every kilometer along the way of life I won’t be like be like my father Not in words nor in action But if I am like my father blame me not His blood flows in me beyond a DNA test

Not like my father
Now I know that I have grown Yes I am of age finer than grape wine Very old in disguise of youthfulness I have seen much but learnt none That ever tomorrow may never be If you care not enough for today Now I know that working so hard Is it making a lot of money And neither is having money solving all issues Now I know that aging is easier than growth Cause days pass hourly through aging is an adition of numbers Now I know that your for a friend could be most important than a blood relative Now I know that you can’t turn back time for mistakes made are lessons learned And if not learned forever regrets Now I know that every mistake carries its own consequences and remedies Now I know that it can rain while it shines thus you wet as you dry Now I know that treating people right isn’t guarantee that they will treat you well Now I know that we shall all die off and out of this world and left memories will live and fade as well

Now i know
Just like a weather it shined on me while it rained Out of my range I went sowing in the sky To the new girl I had met and didn’t know would mean a lot to me A good Stranger with zero intentions of hurt but a great heart of love and passion Deep down in the bellows of my thoughts she won me before I befell her Then I saw my promised bright future come A lady with whom I shall lay dreams and rise to brightness See you all on the other side. To lay back is to miss a moment of transformation Goodbye and welcome to stars in the darkness

Little known
My tongue lost taste when my lips touched yours Your smiles embezzled my senses with dazzles of laughters But my heart replied: look at this fool in love again I can’t promise that I am yet to learn from past love cuddles  for I believe each time gives me new goose bumps Is it to marry her or love her more??? Must is a must I can’t loose her In a few is to see tears on the aisle of my cheeks for the depth I fell was a grave for my burial Tomorrow awaits so I don’t have to die so young so long We are seeds yarning to be planted and watered in the same *** for our destiny is a fruit to feed many So we germinate together as stem and branch till soil does us part We can’t wait for the future as we drown in today as our forever For if she is one in a million then I am her bird at hand.

A million Bird at hand
Rising as a child is a moment of hope with so many dreams to a bright future. You play without ceasing, have genuine friends, get free help and offers, thus living every moment knowing things are only going to be better, the bitter truth of ignorance of better days. Through the years of childhood and getting past university is when one acquires real knowledge to a blind future. Running from the desired doctor to businessman and later a broker or mere hustler if not a scammer. Without prejudice you can do any job available as long as it gets you food and shelter. As if survival isn’t enough responsibility kicks in. This doesn’t major in with having a family or kids but the rather how to make the ends meet. Parents expectant of your assistance and so are your siblings. You get to see your friends marry, produce children, travel build houses and businesses and you wonder which art in science they apply that you have failed to master. Once you fail to know that everyone has their own time then guilt takes you over, jealous eats you up and either stress disorder or witchcraft accompanies you. Who is to blame for your failure? The parent that paid all your school stages or you who hasn’t applied what you studied. Life has got no manual, today you could be limping and tomorrow you ride in glory or you could suffer until you die. All this accumulated anger for success. The struggle to end poverty, the thoughts of theft, money laundry, and gambling kick right in. This is the drawn line between Godliness and survival; either choice will lead you somewhere (the body desires and the fulfillments of the soul). Trusting God is the bare minimum we ought to live for; we have no control over our own existence. Trying moments come and go, and so is joy and pain. Tomorrow can only be promised by the hope we have which hope is in the Lord. But failure to invest in godliness is our strike to damaged existence. Besides education, parents should give their children more access to church and teachings about God so that situations of their crosses may align with those of God and not their own understanding.

The song in the background would Sounds better while you are dancing, stretching your arms like you have surrendered your life to he that holds you. As your waist swarves right and left and your legs swindle for direction in affirmation And then step by step your body moves chest high while saliva moves in glitter down your throat in blossom of your cheeks As you dance and dance swapping your legs like the music wont stop So tender as you flip your arms to the music chacha, the sober eyes all portrayed in your gingling smile Thy shoes fitting perfect like they measured the beat of the song and hair dazzling wishing to be flipped over his neck And it goes on and on, once or twice, back and forth, front and back, just like a swing off the ground and not in the air The dance you make can save a soul. A detonator of sadness bridging love from the watchers, all amazed to dance like your magnificence The wonder of your limitless moves begging men to your attention, each hopping to have a turn on the flow as your strokes send many goodbyes yet a hidden invitation

Picturing you dance
In my dream I visit her everyday She is the closest to my heart than in reality She is my all as I am nothing to her For I throw a tear for her once but she chuckles over my laments for her Should I wait soon for her mind to change or have a mind change to have another Hey tomorrow is Hope coming my way or least I go hunt for new luck My heart is slain with a focused mind I can never have it all though I have myself

Her Chuckles
Fancy they wish for Moments i pray for As they lay high flying with the birds I hope i hold your hands by the palm and walk with you As they carry bags and trollies i carry smiles and laughter on our voyage I know money is necessary but cant be everything We got God and we got we We got music and sounds of nature We got rain and kisses of the sun And soon we get a copy of us For if the wind blows us in the same direction in a union of the roots and soil They ground shall be I to catch you the leaf off the tree

We got
Once I was deeply drown into her Fully to the teeth I was armed to love her My heart was fully hers fully attracted like a magnet Tho she shied away from our commitment A rat was smelling all around her For what I knew or not I tamed my mind to finding the hurting truth as false says I drew closer as she drew further My eyes dried from tears I didn’t cry For she saved me from a fall that would have broken my bones My life saddened by her actions but acquired life time lessons I clinched to hope that I would win her over a battle I won through losing her But then tomorrow I smiled better cause my emptiness was filled with moments of time
