Beneath the surface
Gods1son Oct 2018
Layer(s) beneath an irregular or rough surface
Is a leveled plane
If the rough surface is taken off

Beneath a broken heart
Is a pure spirit
If the surface issues can be taken off

Beneath a tough situation
Is a blessing
If patience and good spirit is applied!

*Usually, there is a bigger picture that is not seen from the surface!

You
Gods1son Feb 2019
You
The most unique thing about you is YOU
No one is got your story
Bask in your glory
No one can be you better than you
And that is true
Embrace you
Define you by your own standards
Be the best version of you
And don't measure you with another
How you see you is what you'll be
What you say of you becomes your truth
So, be you fully!

trying to be better...
Gods1son Sep 2018
I am trying to do better
Some friends are seeing my withdrawal
I hear they call me betrayal
I am trying to be better...

Tired of negative energy
Bye to you if it's not about positivity
Don't come near me with jealousy
I am trying to be better...

I'm sorry I've been ignoring your calls
Spending more time searching my soul
Time to patch up these holes
I am trying to be better...

I signed up for some courses
New information from trustworthy sources
Making new friends with go-getters
I am trying to be better...
When you realize that you are not living your best life!
Gods1son Jun 2019
Accepted in the Beloved
Lavishly rained on me His mercies & grace
Leaves me in awe each and every day

That's why I'll forever praise Your Name
Holy are You in all Your ways
Awesome God, Monarch of my universe
Night and day, Your helping hands I see
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Shepherd of my soul

To You I render all my praises
Overcomer is who You've made me

Great! Great!! Great are you Lord
Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent One
Daily Your face I would seek!
That's the meaning of my first name.

Jigsaw puzzle
Gods1son Feb 2022
I see us all as pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle
With each piece having a role to play in the bigger picture
Imagine if every piece looks exactly the same as others
Then we no longer have a picture but a solid color or a grid
Hence the reason for our beautiful differences
However, I think the whole piece is a little out of order
And to fix that, we have to be willing to trade places
Having a rigid standpoint is bad for the greater good
We all need one another, directly or indirectly
When I play my part and you play yours,
we'll both be contributing to create a better world — good for one and good for all.

Opinions
Gods1son Aug 2019
Opinions are the cheapest
Almost anyone can afford
to give some away
Out of the many that
gets thrown at you,
Maybe a few would be valuable
Take them all, then
Sort out the recyclables
from the garbages
Let the irrelevant end in the landfill
When you find opinions of value,
Ensure to refine it.

Light

Light...

Love
Illuminates,
Giving rise to
Honesty and
Trust
Love is the key

The wall
Gods1son Jul 2019
I hold my peace dear to me
Too many things/people out there
trying to rip one's peace into pieces
They cause disturbances like
stones tossed into a lake
It appears their desire is to
see one's smiley face
ripple into a frown
They often run their mouths,
in order to run one down
I guard my peace from all
these peace predators
This is the one wall that
deserves to be built!
238 · Aug 2018
Face it!
Gods1son Aug 2018
You have to confront it
To overcome it.
Stop hiding,
Start attacking,
Victory awaiting!
Who says you cannot achieve it? It all depends on you!
237 · Oct 2018
Grateful
Gods1son Oct 2018
Sometimes, we overlook the daily blessings we receive
'cause we didn't have any major accomplishment
But...
Someone's car broke down today
Someone lost a lot of money today
Someone landed in the hospital today
Someone lost a family member today
Someone landed in jail today
Someone got diagnosed of an ailment today
Someone got more than one of those today
I'm grateful for today!

Showers of blessings
Gods1son Jun 2019
It's the start of a new week
A Monday with a lot o' rain
The buses are running late
My shoes are getting drenched
The faces I see are far from smiling
Cars driving by are water-splashing
Such an atmosphere for anger to set in
But I let positivity reign supreme
I see beautiful things happening this week
So, I call it showers of blessings.
Stay positive this week no matter what surfaces. Choose to see the bright side of things.

Not enough
Gods1son Jan 2022
When the feeling of not being enough kicks in
The one thing you can't afford to do is quitting
When those voices start yelling or whispering... you were not built for this
Respond with... that might be true for now but I'm being built in the process and I will not end it prematurely
You say to you — I'm a winner, not a quitter
Against all odds, both internally and externally, I'll see to it that I see this through and I'll come out on the winning side.

Canvas
Gods1son Nov 2018
My mind is a canvas
On which my thoughts are constantly painting on

The ugly images, I quickly erase
The pretty ones, I try my best to save

Some paintings are like bad memories,
They take time to fade

But the very beautiful paintings,
I always try to replicate!
234 · Dec 2018
PLEASE
Gods1son Dec 2018
Think about the word PLEASE
If you cut out trying to get
̶P̶ ̶-̶ ̶P̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶'̶s̶
̶L̶ ̶-̶ ̶l̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶n̶e̶s̶s̶
E
A
S
E

What you are left with is EASE
The peace of mind to be You
To discover You
To experience You
The freedom to be true to You.

Letting go
Gods1son Nov 2018
I had to allow some things go away
For better things to come my way
I (almost) cried for some things that I had to give
But the pain is nothing compared to what I received
Letting go creates room for more to come
Giving is like a seed planted
that becomes fruits to be harvested
It's only in the dictionary where
Reward comes before sacrifice!
233 · Sep 2018
For You!
Gods1son Sep 2018
I wish I could take the pain away
I promise, tomorrow will be a better day
Don't let your hope fade away
Pay no attention to what naysayers say

Now, you should wear a smile
You can still go a couple miles
Those negative thoughts are lies
You should reach for new heights

You were born to be at the top
You can't give up, you can't stop
If you believe, you can't flop!
Don't ever give up!
232 · Feb 2019
Me & You
Gods1son Feb 2019
Let us lock the world outside
Including the past and the future
Just you in my arms
As we bask in the beauty of the Now

Judgement
Gods1son Aug 2023
People often judge what they don't understand
To pass judgement is cheap but it could be highly expensive to the one receiving it
Before you write anyone off, try putting their shoes on
Your words are like a fresh egg, once you drop it, it breaks and you can never take it back intact
Don't give out what you don't want to receive
Not saying to condone that which is not right, but if the correction is not done in love and said in love, it's not done right.
Instead of dishing out judgement, dish out grace — generously.

Rat race
Gods1son May 2019
Rat race
Money, fame and power
The cats giving people a chase
I see... Running...stumbling...falling...stomping
Little to no loving...fighting...hating
What a race!

Get high
Gods1son Jan 2019
The heights that I envision,
No drug or ***** could ever get me that high
But when I put in serious work
And get on my knees
Then, He helps me dot my i(s)
And cross my t(s)
By opening my eyes to see
See insightfully
Yielding amazing results
Which are seen physically!
229 · Nov 2018
Player
Gods1son Nov 2018
He has beautiful blue eyes
But they conceal multitude of lies
Don't be carried away by his pink lips
'cause it's like boarding a drowning ship

He has a sweet mouth
And he does speaks deep
But if you fall for that,
It leads into a ditch

He has enticing shoulders
But you are better off been hit by a boulder
Don't even talk about his abs
It would eventually rip your heart in halves

His physique is amazing
But it would leave your heart aching
If you go by what you see
You will end up getting lost on the sea!
228 · Nov 2018
Temptations
Gods1son Nov 2018
I don't like you
I really despise you
A mixture of pain and pleasure
Like a tasty but spicy food

I showed you the red light
But it wasn't enough to stop you
I put spikes all over the place
Still, you managed to pass through

I can't help but to please you
Even though, I want to cease to
Can you please leave me?
'cause it's hard for me to resist you!
There is always something one wants to stop. You enjoy it but you def wanna stop it.
228 · Mar 2021
Birth
Gods1son Mar 2021
Majority of us are pregnant with
gifts and ideas (that's twins)
Most times, the first step needed to be taken
to birth them, is the step of faith.
Some people's excuse is "oh, now it's too late"
But Colonel Sanders was 65 years
when he birthed KFC
Like childbirth, birthing ideas and gifts
often needs labor
But you'll receive favor if you're walking in purpose
There's something in you waiting to be
birthed — give yourself to it.
228 · Sep 2018
Taught me to love
Gods1son Sep 2018
You taught me...
To love my neighbour
They would get on my nerves, I shouldn't harbour
They would want to play me for a fool
They would try to use me like a tool

I should make love my fundamental principle
Guard my heart, people would try to poke a hole
No matter what it is, love will make me whole
Let love fill my heart like a receptacle

You said it's important to be wise
Because I care doesn't mean they would be nice
Live in love and do not compromise
If not, I will pay the price!
Learn to show love no matter what, love always pay!
227 · Apr 2019
Grace
Gods1son Apr 2019
Grace is my extra boost for this race
It's a race with self,
on the track called destiny
In this stadium of life
226 · Mar 2019
Song on loop
Gods1son Mar 2019
Have you ever had to linger a bit
To hear your favorite line from a song
While being played on the radio
Later to have that line stuck in your head all day
You try hard to forget it but it wouldn't fade
Just like the memory of someone you love even after you've parted ways.
226 · Sep 2019
Uncultivated seeds
Gods1son Sep 2019
Lots of great minds leading subpar lives
Becoming static or barely moving
owing to the fear of failure
Never taking chances, always taking the easy way out by chicken(ing) out
Starving everyone the fruits of their gifts, hidden within them as seeds
which they are ignoring to cultivate.
Ignoring purpose makes life less meaningful
Fulfillment is doing what one is called to do
Anything short of that opens the doors
to a life of frustration.
225 · Aug 2018
Redemption
Gods1son Aug 2018
Yes, it's time for my redemption
Deep down, I can feel the tension
Easier to be stuck to old ways like detention
But I say No, freedom is my intention

I don't need u to approve
Everyday, I wanna improve
Sometimes, I would make a goof
Still, I will stand on my hoof
Till my life is the proof

Then, I will bring some along
Show them how to dance to destiny's song
Together, we build this Universe
To which we all belong.
225 · Apr 2021
Faith
Gods1son Apr 2021
With faith, you can speak the things you hope for into existence
But speaking without following it with works renders the faith breathless
And even after doing the needful, oftentimes it's necessary to apply patience
Meanwhile your spirit remains doubtless
And soon enough, your victory becomes evident to all.
224 · Jul 2019
Faith
Gods1son Jul 2019
A mustard seed sized faith can move
a mountainous situation
Faith expressed and put to action
is no match for raging fear
Is it mustard seed size or mustard seed sized? I'm not sure which is correct.
224 · Nov 2019
Way of life
Gods1son Nov 2019
At the wake of each day,
I say, today will be the
best day of my life
It's said that, whatever vibe
you release to the universe,
will come back to manifest

Plus I invest my best into the day
So I can boldly say I played my part
And when I lay in bed to sleep at night,
No matter what the day looked like,
I express my gratitude to be back alive
That's my adopted way of life.
224 · May 2019
Time
Gods1son May 2019
Time is of the essence
It's one resource that cannot be purchased
Use yours chasing your dreams
And not chasing them away
Being overly inactive is
being active in the wrong things.
224 · Feb 2019
(No) Promises
Gods1son Feb 2019
I can't make no promises
Not to make you cry
But I will definitely choose what kind
Like that cry when I get you laughing hard
Or like when I buy you your favorite car
One thing I can promise you for sure
If I ever make you cry
It would be tears of joy
224 · Aug 2019
Purpose
Gods1son Aug 2019
Why was I sent on this earth? 
What do I want in this life? 
The pursuit of purpose along 
the trail of destiny
The true meaning of living, 
surpassing just mere existence
A life that doesn't feel void or empty
The utmost reward is a feeling of fulfillment.

Banish the fakes
Gods1son Dec 2019
In every 12, they say you'll find a Judas
That's why my circle has a small radius
Even the loyal ones can still break your trust
Read the Bible, 3 times Peter denied Jesus

Lots of faux well-wishers, enemies in disguise
They smile to your face but bitter inside,
Rejoice with you but wish for your demise
You don't want to be around these guys

Before you banish the fakes from your circle
Ensure you're not a *** yelling black kettle
You have to be your brother's keeper
Offering true loyalty to one another.
223 · Feb 2019
Saved
Gods1son Feb 2019
I was fully immersed in sin
Soiled up and filthy
But His loving hands reached out to me
And saved me from the pit

Soaked in His liquid love
Soap-washed by His grace
I emerged squeaky clean
Clothed in His truth

I received a new reality
Reborn a new being
A life of victory
Living by faith, not by what's seen
222 · Jan 2019
Always there
Gods1son Jan 2019
She is like my all-weather tires
The type that you NEVER have to change
She's been with me at all seasons
She's not the one I ride on
But the one that keeps me going
I'm not sure this is a good analogy. Just an idea that crossed my mind
222 · Jan 2019
Poetry
Gods1son Jan 2019
Emotions running loose
And getting trapped by
A fence made from papers
With pillars of pen,
Which in turn paints the fence
With emotional arts.

Discovery
Gods1son Aug 2019
Self-discovery is the second
best discovery,
first being God-discovery.
When you discover God, it's much easier to discover self. When you discover those two, life becomes very meaningful and purposeful.

Blessings
Gods1son Oct 2018
Peace in the midst of the storm
In You only, I get this from
Strength to surmount the mountain
You make it flow from within me like a fountain
Wisdom for discernment
You have given me without measurement
Love to deal with myself and all
You lavished me, I didn't have to shop for it in a mall
I get asked about this beauty
Easily, I tell everyone You gave me freely
You're faithful in every season
Thank You for all your blessings!
220 · Nov 2018
Togetherness
Gods1son Nov 2018
There is strength in our togetherness
There is peace in our oneness
Especially when we respect each person's uniqueness

There is power in our unity that
We can harness
To bring about individual and unified progress
And ultimately our overall success

But instead, we judge one another to condemnation
We operate on islands of isolation
We practice segregation
Lack of love is our biggest limitation!
219 · Sep 2018
Gain and Guilt
Gods1son Sep 2018
Deep down,
You know these urges are negative
But yielding to it
Heals temporarily like medicine

Here comes the urge again
You can literally feel your heart racing
Your conscience and senses wrestling
Hungry for the immediate gain

Ok, this is the last time
You said that a thousand times
You give in... Oh, so relaxing
Few hours later, guilt creeping in!
Addiction

Beauty
Gods1son Feb 2019
Show me your beauty
Not just the glowing skin
Not just the hourglass figure
Not just the flat abs
I admit all of those are attractive
But
Take me on a tour in your mind and heart
Would I find flowers or thorns?
Does it also glow on the inside?
Would I start seeking for an escape
Or would I find it a place to be?

Overnight success
Gods1son Sep 2019
Success can happen overnight
But prior to that are
many days and nights of hardwork,
shedding blood, sweat and tears.

Trust
Gods1son Feb 2019
It hurts
When the one(s) you deeply trust
****** a spear in your heart
Leaving your tears gushing
Like a broken pipe
Your trust leaking through
Makes everyone look fugazi (phony)
Difficult to tell who is true
But
Ruling everyone untrustworthy
would also be untrue
Right?
217 · Oct 2018
Journey
Gods1son Oct 2018
Journeying through life...
Some phases are filled with green leaves
Some seem like dry land
I will focus on my strength
Turn the green leaves to a fruitful field.

HP writers
Gods1son Apr 2019
This is to all HP writers
Writing lines out of this world like a rocket
Words full of power like a socket
You guys are on another level like an elevator
Some of your words definitely flew over my head like an aircraft
But a lot of writings on here did blow my mind like a kite in the air
Thank you for your works that you've shared
And to those who have felt or feeling unheard,
This is my plea to you not to relent
I guarantee you that at least one person was touched
And if not, they will be in the nearest future
