Float

Tiny seeps of water into a boat
over an extended period of time
could eventually sink the boat.

Note—
The outside water isn't the trouble
but the one that is allowed to get in.

See the outside water as the crises
going on in the world today and
See yourself as the boat.

It is your duty to protect your soul
Don't let the news find its way within you
Remember—what is inside is more valuable
than everything on the outside combined.

Joy and Peace

Some things are first seen by the heart
before they become visible to the eyes.
An invention for example, was first an
idea in the mind before it's given life
and then revealed to the world.

Don't search outside for what is within
Joy and peace are found on the inside
If you can't picture it, you can't draw (fetch) it out
Let the unseen influence the seen
and not the other way around.

Relay race

Life is like a relay race
To be on earth is to be on the track
It is needful that we all play our part and
run with zeal before we pass the baton.

Our talents and gifts are a blessing
to the world at large,
If we use them right, we help to put
the world in a better place

While you're still here in the earth
Do all you can to make your mark
Positively impact the lives around you
That they might also run with gusto

Collectively, we can improve our world
'cause we are in this race of life together.

Poli-thief-ians

"Hate" is a word that I hate to mention
But I strongly dislike these politicians
that are ******* us and
even the next generation(s).

The ones that have built almost no infrastructure.
The only structure they have in place is
that of funds misappropriation.

The ones that rule over us but are
themselves ruled by greed and insecurity.
They steal more than they will ever need,
jeopardizing the nation by their corruption.

Their country is living in difficulty and
they care only about their own prosperity.
They fool the people by doing good towards the end of their tenure so that they can win the next election.

These are not leaders, I call them Poli-thief-ians.

Cart before the Horse

Wait a minute!
Why have I put the cart before
the horse for so long, when I know
that it is not the logical thing to do.

Here's what I mean, how often do we say –
Here's what I've begun, now God, bless it.
Kinda like, here's the house that I've built,
Can you decorate it God?

Instead of making Him the architect,
we want to hire Him as a painter.
Instead of making Him the planner,
we remember Him as a rescuer.

If only we'll reverse the roles,
Then we'll stop sweating in the cold.
If we'll look to Him for His blessed plans
His blessed hands will be evident in our lives.

Butterfly

The phases of transformation or
metamorphosis aren't always attractive
But the end result is usually appealing.

Take a cue from a beautiful butterfly 🦋
That was once an "unattractive" caterpillar 🐛
But she didn't stop evolving until she got her wings

No matter where you are along your journey
Never allow anyone terminate your growth
Someday, your caterpillar will grow wings and fly.

Lockdown

Just like you (I'll guess), I also feel
uncomfortable being trapped in
the comfort of my own home.

Though I have internet, TV, PC, mobile phone,
game console, a fridge full of food, snacks,
fitness equipment, king-sized bed
But all of these feel incomplete without freedom.

Suddenly, the home that I always look
forward to be in, now feels like a cage.
—
But, let us not forget, some people are
actually stuck in real cages -

Solitary confinement, 23 hours a day in
prisons, jails and penitentiaries.
Sadly, some of them for offences
they did not even commit.

While we are protecting our own body system
they are being ******* by
government policies and system.

There might not be anything you and I
can do about it
But let us keep things in perspective.
