The end of the world will not be the same for everybody
This morning marked the end for thousands already—
they are dead and gone.

The question then becomes—
what would your impact be while you're still here,
knowing that—to nobody is tomorrow guaranteed.

What kind of trail do you want to leave
If others follow it, where would it lead—
a place of fulfilment or desolation?

What would your legacy be
Do you think about these things
The life of the Earth isn't short
but the life of human is.

Start paying heed to what your impact should be.

Sing praises in the midst of the storm
Leave the roaring pressure feeling confused
Like why is he/she unmoved
Be happy like everything is happening within the norm
Within the situation,
sing victory songs.

I gave Mrs Forte four fur floor mats in the fore part of Fall. All four had the same fault due to system's default settings set by Fox Fort.

Searching in the library of my soul
To find words untold (by me)
And to my surprise
Herein lies the story of my life
A written description of who I really am

Uncovered parts of me that I didn't know
Found answers to my long unanswered questions
Discovered my true essence
Oh, a lot of things now makes sense!

Have you ever given your heart
But it wasn't received on the other side
It left you but it didn't go through
So, it is hanging inbetween like a lost parcel
Neither here nor there, uneasy to retrieve.

Kids are adorable
They have a heart of gold
They breathe out love
Until they are taught not to be so
Until they witness or experience cruelty
Until they see grown-ups act savagely
We teach them in words of mouth to be good
But kids will emulate what they see
Eventually, they are baptized in the mean society

The times are rapidly changing
I guess it also depends on our lenses
The ability to perceive beyond our senses
To see into that which is not visibly seen

In this era where computer is the emerging king
Who not only drives our car but also our economy
I panic at the thoughts of its rulership
I'm often bothered about its dominion and authority

I hope our brains won't go into dormancy
While we sit and watch it control our entirety
Hopefully, we will be able to ****** the steering
Be the driver and not the driven

I pray it has the right cabinet
Those that will direct its power for our betterment
And not to our detriment
The thought of its future is quite worrisome!

He fights all his battles
with the consciousness of a winner
To the past tough challenges,
He's proven himself tougher

He's aware of his inner strength
And he will persevere till any length
I wouldn't say he doesn't have any fear
But he won't allow the fear hold him back

Needless to say, he's not arrogant
He's not proud not to ask for helping hands
He's persistent and he has high tolerance
He knows his victory is sure in the end.

I really love you
I lied when I said
I never cared about you

I had no idea what I was saying
You mean the world to me
When I made the statement that
You should get away from me
I didn't know what I was thinking

This is the honest truth
I'm opening my heart to you
I strongly hope you believe me

(Read back to the top)

I was once in the rough
Not everyone recognized my value
Just like a diamond in that state
But deep down in me, I knew my worth
And that was my truth that I clinged on to

Some of my own didn't believe in me
It did hurt to watch them leave
I almost joined them not to believe in me
Then I remembered it's my life to live

Just to make it, I took different shots
From different angles
I lost money and I lost sleep
I laid in bed watch my ceiling spin
I was this close to quitting but
I did push myself back on my feet

I would constantly say to myself
Gold has to go through fire to be purified
For me to be free, Jesus had to be crucified
The pressure to give up, I nullified
The zeal to reach my goals, I intensified

Nothing exceptional comes easy
I was knocked down several times
but I didn't stay down
I picked myself back up each time
It did make my skin tough

A calm sea never makes a great sailor
Amongst my buddies, I found traitors
The few I looked up to were also naysayers
Nevertheless, I kept my goals on my radar

I kept on pushing till I saw the light
I kept on finessing till I saw the shine
I was determined to do only what's right
Along my journey, here's what I've learnt

If life breaks your pencil,
Make two out of it
If people place stumbling block your way,
Make steps out of it

If they say sh*t on your name,
Make manure out of it
If they throw stones at you,
Make sculpture out of it

Whatever life throws at you
Take it as material
And carve success out of it

Does expensive always mean reliable?
Does eloquent always mean smart?
Does big always mean fat?
Does wealthy always mean happy?
Does saying sorry always mean remorse?
Does thanks always mean appreciation?
Does 'I understand' always mean comprehension?
Does quiet always mean gentle?
Does philanthropic always mean owning plenty?
Does no always mean never?
Does active always mean healthy?
Does poor always mean powerless?

What is it about change
That we often find hard to accept
Even if the old one was full of defects
Or if the new one is the old rearranged
We still somehow get thrown off
But come what may,
Humans will always adapt!

YOU were once in the land of the unborn
You WERE then selected for the earth
You were BORN with a mission in ur hands,
An assignment TO be fulfilled by you
Fully equipped  to BE all you were sent for
You were born to be GREAT

Love is a universal language
A language that cuts across all human races
A language craved for by all ages;
from babies to the aged

It's better understood when felt than heard
Its dictionary is the heart
If spoken, it keeps people in unison
But sadly...
It appears not to be people's language of choice

Have you ever met people,
Who are so insensitive when giving their opinion
Such people care less whether their words
Give you the same feeling as cutting an onion

They find it so easy to pass a judgment
Without considering the detriments
Relying on their words is like,
Using a banana peel as shoe grip on an icy road!

Does it really matter
That my love for you exists in three states...
My love for you is solid
Freely flowing out of me like a liquid
A source of power for me like gas!

I love how trees
Yield with ease
And sway their arms,
dancing to the
Sweet melody from
The breeze

I'm grateful, I'm thankful

To those that were resourceful,
You helped me achieve my goals. Thank you

To those that were playful,
You helped relax my nerves. Thank you

To those that remembered me in their prayers,
I guarantee you that they were answered. Thank you

To those that gave me tough times,
It was good work out, you helped build my attitudinal muscles. Thank you

To those that never left during the rough times,
You helped me overcome. Thank you

To those that left me,
You helped rechannel my energy. Thank you

To those that inspired me,
You helped rewire my drive. Thank you

To those that disagreed with me,
You showed me different perspective to things. Thank you

To those that we didn't get along
It's a reminder that no artist can feature on every song. Thank you

To all... I'm grateful, I'm thankful!

Every new day presents
new opportunities to
put a smile on somebody's face.
Little acts of kindness
can go a long way in
brightening
another person's day.
Make an effort each
and every day
to be an agent of hope
because what you do to others
will surely come back to you
in multiple folds.
