The world is broken
No one wants to hear
A good story
They  would rather
Hear the saddest one

The world is broken
When it is easier
To hate than to love
When it is easier
To hide behind a bottle
Letters, labels, dollars,
likes or a flag

The world is broken
No one is free
Our children are not the future
They’re crippled cancer
A dismantled dancer
Given no answer when asked
Will I eventually walk again
They breathe a shallow breath
Mumbling their kind of gospel
Feeling trapped
Hoping we catch on

The world is broken
A woman or a thing
Depending on who you ask
Her dignity dies , her diamonds
Ravished and ridiculed
As cheap left with nothing
But a press on smile
That crumbles in the dark


The world is broken
A man looses his pride
In poverty, body pressing
Against the pavement
Days spent slouched over
Into tomorrow
People say he’s broken
He’s a disgrace depends
On who you ask

The world is broken
We avoid clocks
We Want no reminders
Of time merciless venoms
We want no reminders that
We are all dying , not as slow
That we would like to believe
Tears flood the homes that houses us
And usually we cry a river
when there’s no one watching

The world is broken
Men and women aren’t
Even safe with their tears
Compassion is a thing of yesterday
But the Moon stays glorious

The world is broken
We mistaken fear for strength
Cowardice for courage
We’ll go to war with everyone
But ourselves,
The neighbor bleed
All over the tulips
While we worry about the garden

The world is broken
There’s a coldness in the air
And
Nobody knows of MIRRORS!
Everywhere you look in this world people are hurting. Socially, relationally, politically, domestically, emotionally, financially, physically...etc...etc. There are times we get lost in our own pain and compassion drains from the holes left in our hearts.

Do you ever stop and consider the depth and condition of your soul? What attitudes and dispositions do you allow to poison and lurk in there?  Or do you fill it with the seeds of kindness and gentleness and service? We alone are responsible for our souls and what we give into this world. I’m not content to be a handsome tree that cannot nourish those around me with goodness, kindness and gentleness. All the degrees and diplomas hanging on my wall will not comfort a hurting heart.  Being learned will not guarantee being wise.  The depth of your soul is entirely up to you...dig deeper and find yourself for yourself!
Happy New Year beautiful people! I pray 2019 is a year of abundant success, peace and joy for each of you!  I wish that you find the richest love for yourself and with others!

A fresh start
for all of us
to love more,
do more,
to act more,
strategize more,
learn new ways
of doing things,
learn new trade,
acquire new skills,
upgrade yourselves,
migrate and relocate
to new environment,
move away from
things that didn't work,
invest in our growth,
add value to our lives,
help change our
priorities.
Explore new frontier
and horizon.
Another new dawn
emerged for another
beginning of
something uniquely
magnificently new.
A dream is born,
a desire to
accomplish something,
sprouts in the heart,
a promise comes true.
A vision manifests,
new arrangement of
something occurs.
The change we
always wanted
level up with us.
Aspirations are forged.
Challenges are confronted.
New goal begins
in earnest.
The culmination of
the past efforts
and projects begin
to yield results.
We want to
stay focused with
determination to get
things done.
We plan not
to fail or faint,
forget not to
plan or we faint.
New paths are
forged because we
are the pathfinders.
May God's love
unveiled by his
Spirit shield you,
protect and bless you.
May the road
arise to meet you,
may the wind
be behind you,
the rain wet your path,
may the wheel
of fortune turn
in your favour.
May grace and
the kindness of
individuals surround you.
May it's breast
satisfy you and
may you find
peace in its *****.
Embrace it with gladness,
it is yours to take.

Fearless
He opens His mouth and what you hear
is words that calm your heart of fear
His face his gentle, bright blue eyes
He never tells you pretty lies
He listens when you have something to say
Never gets tired of hearing 'bout your day
He comforts you when you are super sad
and calms you down when you're raging mad
When you're all alone and start to cry
He comes around 'cause He's your guy
When you just can't win and all is lost
Just remember He died on the cross
sometimes a victory's disguised as defeat
But then He rose up again, isn't that neat?
So, if miracles are what you're waiting for
then just be patient and see what's in store
For all those who pray and ask and believe
It's been promised to them, that they will receive
He's not just concerned with our afterlife
He loves and He helps us with all of our strife
So cast all your cares on His big broad back
Especially when your life is all out of whack
Because that is the time when you need Him most
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost

Locked in a prison cell and forced to believe I am dead,
I never thought I would stare into you!
So authentic!
I could tell you were baptized in sulfuric acid
a million times
you showed me the magic
if I don't grab you quick,
you would vanish like static
like a black hat white rabbit,
"ACE97" girl are you ready to kick it with a savage?
girl we don't do dramatics
we beat haters with rusty golf sticks
and snap their spines like toothpicks...
Listen I am not Albert Einstein but I discovered that your heart is an atomic bomb,
and I want it to explode,
truth be told you're radioactive hot!
I first had a weak approach
but now you can crown me goat,
if you want to come to me in compound form I will split you into atoms,
cause I want the pure side of you to myself,
don't be too busy to bond,
I am always trying to get your attention
this time lets keep the phone calls and texts longer than long
I will assure you that this chemistry between us will be stronger than strong.
