Boredom
Some say its an opportunity to be creative,
Others find that statement manipulative,
Well coming to think of it,
Boredom feels like the mind is blank more like a plain sheet,
Ideas fail to run,
Unless you decide you want to get the boredom done,
Boredom can only help get creative
If you decide you want to be creative.

The created should worship and honour their creator,
Its senseless to worship something you created by your own hands or those of another human,
For what fulfillment would that even bring to you?
Even flowers worship their creator by doing what they were meant to do;beautify
The wind blows,
The sun shines,so do stars,bet that's their way of worship

Inflation
It just came,
Noone saw it coming,
Maybe others did but they kept quiet because they were too scared to say it,
Its effects affect all,
It brings questions and worry,
It scares everyone,
Makes all think poverty is knocking at their doors,
It breeds hopelessness because the solution seems too far to be reached
And thinking of one isn't an easy task
but all will be just fine,
Time will surely pass it on to history.

Blessing
Your companionship is an inspiration,
The love you share has groomed me to live rightly in my generation,
Your hardwork and care rekindles my lifes passion,
I hope to be like you,and be less of a fool,
I don't mind being called old school
If what I'm doing is what you know as genuine and true,
God has blessed you,
You've come this far because you need to testify,
And they need to see the two of you and verify,
That indeed true love exits and edify-
Us and make us realise that the new immoral "laws" of society we can defy.
Anniversary poem to my parents.written way back though.

About you ^_^
You may be seen by others as just an ordinary guy,
But to me that's even worse than a lie,
I see a star in you,
I find you cool,
And I wonder what makes you think you're a fool,
You deserve only the best,
In the eyes of my heart you're better than the rest,
You say you always mess up,
But I don't see the bad in what you call crap,
Maybe am the one who needs some mental therapy,
So the thoughts I have about you could be erased or just become history.
Uhh just writing,haha.

True beauty
Depends
On the
Attitude you
Use to
View
Yourself,
It begins with you,
And within you,
It takes time and its worth it.
PS:Whenever I write a poem about beauty,I refer to both genders, coz we're all affected.

None of our experiences are painted or engraved on our faces or bodies for people to see,
So we shouldn't judge by what we see and we shouldn't be judged for what they see.
But again,you have to have the right cover that is the right attitude,make it right.

Love
Such a strong word,
Though greatly abused,
Such a strong feeling; sometimes absurd,
It gets me amused.
An important virtue,
But made to seem so untrue
Because its sometimes hard to know how and when its real,
And it can't be fully judged by how we feel,

Its really about knowing that love is a duty and more of acts than words and feelings.
Love love love

For God so loved us,
That He gave His only Son
To die for us,
And if only we believed in Him we'd be saved,
Even now,its never too late for salvation,
We all need compassion,
The goodness of a Saviour.

Street kid
Stranded,feeling unwanted,
Not only by parents but by society as a whole,
Wishing to have just died before birth,
But still pushing on,staying strong and being hopeful,
Even able to afford a smile and some laughs too,
Its amazing how people with the least of things seem to be the most grateful,
They may have bad reputations but they know the sense of real family,not by blood but by companionship.
From all people,we can draw lessons

LoVeeee
The kinda love everyone yearns for,
No matter how far I move away from you,
Your love just draws me back,
You're so pure,you forgive and forget,
I don't deserve the kinda love you offer me,
But I can't deny it,because its on it that I live,
Gives me hope and strengthens my hopes,
Your love is deeper than the deepest of the deepest ocean floor.

You
You
Don't rush life;be patient,
Don't get deceived by hot looks or flashy things,take note of this before you become karmas patient,
Sometimes it feels like you're insufficient,
Simply because being real is viewed as being proud or pompous,
But one thing to learn is self discipline,its the only way to focus,
Focus on you and your future,
Have a clear view of where you want to go;a full picture,
Be open minded,you never know when you could catch your life changing lecture,
And don't forget your creator.

Without you,my hope is over,

And that gives me so much courage,
For me you died on the cross,
To you I want to be real close,
I love you though I usually go astray,
God please forgive me I pray.

If you don't see any good in yourself,
Look at you through Gods eyes;
The bible,open it up,take it off the shelf,
Don't allow satan to feed you with his lies,
No   matter  how much sin can distance you from God,
He's  never  too far to hear you,
He's just a few words away,a prayer away
Speak to Him,
Call upon Jesus Christ,He's the only way to GOD.

Great GOD
We know that energy can't be created or destroyed,
Apply that science to the existence of a mighty force,
No beginning,no ending,
Just there,
That's why we worship Him,He's too great to be fathomed,
He created the heavens and the earth by His word,
How great is our God.

Family
Sometimes we wish we could choose,
Maybe because we don't seem to get along with the members or we simply hate the rules,
Well I'm sure this is no news,
But the thing is that the only way to love and enjoy family is through acceptance,
Accept them for who they are,show them your love now,not in rememberance,
Embrace them and always know that love works with perseverance.

I'm beautiful,
I didn't evolve from an ape,
I was created perfectly in His image,
He created me with no mistakes,
Due to His perfect nature..
My flaws only flow from within,
As for the outward appearance,that's perfect because He made me that way.
You're physically perfect the way you are,you don't need anyones approval to be beautiful,just love and accept yourself. :)

The bible
Written by different men at different times but flawless,
Before some things were scientifically proven,they were already written down,
Examples of these are;the earth being spherical,air having weight,stars being different,earth floating in space,etc
Evidently,its the most read book world wide
Its the book of wisdom,encouragement,salvation,protection,strength even love,
Read it more often,
When you read it,you're never alone,you may feel lonely but God is always there with you,talk to Him as He speaks to you through His word,
It contains the bread of life.
Those are the scriptures>1.Creation is made up of invisible elements = Hebrews 11 v3
2. The Earth is a sphere = Isaiah 40 v22
3.The Earth floats freely in space =Job 26 v7
4. There are innumerable stars = Jeremiah 32 v22
5. Each star is different and unique = 1 Corinthians 15 v41
6.Light moves = Job 38 v19- v20
7.The ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains =2 Samuel 22 v16  & Jonah 2v6
8.The ocean contains springs = Job 38v16
9.Blood is the source of life and health = Leviticus 17 v11
10. Wind blows in cyclones = Ecclesiastes 1v6
11. Air has weight = Job 28 v25
All that was written way back,thousands of years ago..Indeed the bible is the real word of God.it lacks NOTHING!

Christ came in human form to set an example of how we should live,
He performed miracles and they were recorded so we could believe,
He also lived as a human being so He could know how we feel,
Do not worry about your pain,instead pray about it because He can heal,
Cast your burdens upon Him,He's willing to carry them for you,
Believe in Him and start your life anew..
Anytime,anywhere u can call upon Christ and be saved.

But my standards will never drop,
I'm a child of the Almighty,no way I can settle for what's not dope,
No matter what,I'll forever have hope,
That my life will not end up as useless as an old misused mop.

Sex
***
One of the most abused gifts of life,
Even toothpaste commercials use it to advertise,
Brings pleasure whilst leaving others in deep strife,
Its one thing that creates soul ties,
It deserves more than just physical feelings to be undergone,
Though,it seems in this area we have chosen to be ignorant and to harden our hearts like stone,
As long as we satisfy our momental desires..
And when the deed is done,our conscience fights itself then retires..

It retires from caring who the deed is done with later on..
Be careful how you use or view ***,its not as easy as its spelling; when it comes to what it leaves within you..---->speaking from what I've seen around,observed and realised..

#1 Great Woman *_*
She's  beautiful  in her own way,
She  smiles  even when she's having a bad day,
She can be  delicate  but she's still   strong ,
She's not  proud ,she admits her wrong,
Words don't bring her down,
She knows noone is worth turning her smile into a frown,
She doesn't look down on others,
She feels how it would be like to be one of their mothers,
She speaks her  mind ,
She believes in it there's wisdom someone could find.
She's a  hardworker ,
And she wouldn't ever want to be a heartbreaker,

But a heart mender she would be.
She can pray..
She's a woman,a great one.
I'm not tryna set standards for the "ideal woman" nuh,its just my thoughts from my observations.

Take time(by unknown author)
Take time to think:
it is the source of power.

Take time to read;
it is the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to play;
it is the secret of staying young.

Take time to be quiet;
it is the opportunity to see God.

Take time to be aware;
it is the opportunity to help others.

Take time to love and be loved;
it is God's greatest gift.

Take time to laugh;
it is the music of the soul.

Take time to be friendly;
it is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream;
it is what the future is made of.

Take time to pray;
it is the greatest power on earth.
Inspirational piece worth sharing,no idea who created but its great!,nothing has been added or subtracted from it.

The God of all the earth acknowledges your presence so much that He even knows the number of the strands of your hair,
When you call on Him in your heart He hears you because He's always there,
Living without Him is sure hopeless you shouldn't dare,
You know they say life isn't fair,
And yes I somewhat agree but hey the unfairness of life is a case not so rare..

All we can do is claim Gods great favour and blessings upon our lives and believe they're ours.

But because His grace is sufficient,
Of course I have to take precaution but being realistic here even those who took precaution are no longer with us,they're gone..

Bones crashing,
Blood rushing,
She's in pain,
Strength she can no longer retain,
She's hurting,
Her heart is slowly collapsing,
Her mind so confused,
She now wants back the faith which her heart once refused,
She's hopeless,
She needs a touch of the Saviour Jesus Christ and her pain will definitely be less.

So I stand in front of my mirror,
And I don't like what I see,
My insecurities could be minor,
But you see,
Due to what I watch on my screen daily,
I feel inferior,
My mind goes hazy,
Feeling like I'm not good enough material,
But then I stand to think and realise,
That the only way I can be beautiful,
Is by changing and making better what's beyond the sight of my eyes,
And by accepting myself as unique and complete hence beautiful and wonderful.
Beauty starts from within,don't compare yourself to anyone,you're a unique individual.
