********

One of our heart desires is to fly above our heights,
But many have been limited to their depths,
Different circumstances  have bound us down,
And we have been struggling even till dawn.

Our lives is at the mercy of a social authority,
Who will liberate us from this captivity?
We have been debilitated in our attempt to move,
Our situation say we have nothing to prove.

Poverty has sold us into slavery,
Gone are the days when we look bravery,
But ******* has drawn strength out of us,
And now we have been treated unjust like a horse.

We thought education can give us freedom,
But we have been dealt blow in our kingdom,
In ******* we cry for rescue,
Their short comings is not an excuse.

When we are found at a very risk of life,
We count it as an experience in order to survive,
In hard situation we should not give up,
And each time we fall we should rise up.

When my complex soul is shunned,
Should I asked for help from the sun?
But my wings have been cut short by *******,
I gazed into the sky to seek for courage.

We have been feeble as well as dumb,
We have been confined and dumped,
Liberation is the only language of *******,
And will keep fighting until we are salvaged.
******* dribbled us from all fortune

DARKEN HEART*

A gloomy heart can emit evil device,
A darken mind can shut  godly advice,
We can not rise above the boundaries of our hearts,
Our mindset becomes the reasons for our acts.

When our mind is bonded with viciousness,
We will lack peace and happiness,
We will walk our ways without brightness,
And our hearts will dealign from our consciousness.

In darkness our lives lacks resolution,
And it will wave our thoughts to suspension,
We may even traverse  to an anonymous destination,
Which can sink us into the pool of depression.

Our key to knowledge is in our brightness,
But how can we find it in darkness?
Our thoughts have darken our counsel,
We must come to light until we excel.

Darkness has created vacuum for suffering,
And it has left us behind without resolving,
Then we realized we reside in peril and destruction,
And the steps we have taken have caused so much confusion.
Knowledge is power

Forgiveness is letting go of the past,
And it doesn't mean we can forget the memory of the past,
Forgiveness is divine,
And it helps us to align.

But when we fall as a result of our iniquity,
It draws us back into captivity,
It inflicted us to severe pain and suffering,
And we'll experience agony for our shortcomings.

Pride has dominated our land,
Forgiveness should be part of our plan,
We should cut down every root of bitterness,
And let's work in love and togetherness.
Forgiveness is divine

CONTENTMENT*

The key to happiness in life is contentment,
Satisfaction in heart lead one to fulfillment,
We can fulfill our dreams,
When we wake up to chase them.

Discontentment is the root of covetousness,
It can rob us from our happiness,
But when we cherish our achievements,
Then we can make further advancements.

Even when circumstances drive us to piece,
We should always hold our peace,
Knowing that the storm is not here to stay,
Neither will it make us stale.

When our heart is heavy and bitter,
With patient our tomorrow will be better,
Even when we are stock in poverty,
We should never lose our integrity.

If we are going to live like a king,
Then we need to make a rethink,
On adding passion to our creativity,
And making diligences our priority.

Contented heart makes us superior,
While discontentment may make us look inferior,
One who will extract honey from a rock,
Must add seriousness to his work.
A contented life is a growing life...never stop growing✌✌
