Before I ever came into being,
I was first your selection
Then, you gave me life by
Breathing into my nostrils

I, wonderfully and beautifully made
In the likeness of Your own image
I, clothed and showered with Your love
Yet chose to disobey Your single law

Because of my disobedience,
Your blood had to be spilled
That I might be recreated into a new being
Yet I haven't given you total preeminence

The things that I wish not to do,
I find myself doing (even over & over again)
Still, your love for me hasn't moved an inch
From the deepest and innermost part of my being,
I just want to thank You Lord.

Since the day I found out that
there is a studio in my chest,
I never ceased listening to its beats,
produced by the contraction and
relaxation of my heart
It made me realize that music is life.

If you can't befriend yourself,
It would be hard to befriend another
Keep your spirit, soul and body joined together,
Let no human or anything put asunder
Here's a reminder, you're born a winner
Let no circumstance put your head under its shoulder
In the face of anything,
Do remember, you are way tougher.

F#ck pride,
Let us ride together
Let's put out the fire of jealousy,
that sh#t ain't necessary
Let's rid our hearts of all hatred,
Brothers and Sisters, we are all kindreds
In unity lies our strength,
As a group, we can reach any length
We might err but let's learn to forgive,
Remember oneness is the motive
True love is the only way up,
Let us all drink from the same cup.

Hold on a second before you cast the stone
Did you seek to know the story whole?
Let's agree you did! Do you also agree that
a broken pencil can still create a masterpiece
So before rolling that boulder out of your oral cavity
Tap into your inner well of empathy
Let compassion fill your heart
Consider forgiveness above other things
It's definitely not the easiest option to choose
But it's an option that wouldn't lead astray.

Poetry is deep emotions put into words,
It is heart feelings shed upon a page
It is therapy for some, to stay sane
It's a medium for some to share their message
Poetry is deliberation, it is expression
Poetry is healing, it is art
Poetry is appealing, sometimes controversial
The heart is to poetry what
soil is to a plant.

See how fast life is moving
If you become slow or sluggish
You could be left behind like a floppy (disk)
However, don't join in the rat race
Find your place in this vast earthly space
Be inspired by others
But don't put yourself out of order
Your life is what you make it,
It's a tough truth but you've got to face it
Keep learning and progressing
Be at peace, don't find yourself stressing
You'll definitely make it through,
Ensure to yourself, you stay true.
