Crises – Get a Grip

12 Comments

C- Corruption

R-Raping

I- Idolatary

S- Slavery

E- Ending to life

S- Self Destruction

 

Crises everywhere, unlimited…

Why,Why,Why…

In the homes.

Nations not excluded.

Financial Crises in organizations.

Marriages crumbling.

Dwell not  on it.

It’s heartbreaking…

Are they the signs?

Has the world come to an end already?

In the process?

Will CRISES come to an end?

Is it the norm?

The turmoil,

We are breathing in pain

Wonder what we are exhaling.

Play the music of peace,

To renew our soul.

The children, OH, the children,

What are they looking forward to?

PEACE-Stability-Growth-LOVE

Crises get a grip.

Frail Not Hail Nation

6 Comments

Peace derailed

from layer to layer

beneath the corrupt hawk lies

living flamboyantly

like there’s no tomorrow.

Laws bastardized

injustice to the poor

the pretentious snake looking for prey

the strong are growing frail

insecurity reigning, smiles fading.

 Follow not

the ways of the careless jug head

stand firm, wail until you are heard.

write, until the books are full

knock, until the doors are open.

Peace be recovered

Lawlessness redefined

Follow the path to a great nation.

The post is in response to the daily prompt. Frail.

The Storm Is Over Now

16 Comments

Storm raged my inner being

almost wrenched out my heart

with fierce agony, I walked down the streets

dogs barking at me

flies created settlement in my filthy hair

I staggered around dragging my feet

nowhere to go

while contemplating suicide

the lord appeared

he wiped away my tears

held me in his arms

fed me

clothed me

he  shamed the demons

and set me free

here I am today, the storm is over

I can see the light now as heaven has smiled down on me.

I have always loved this song written and produced by R. Kelly, it was released back then in year 2000. Please enjoy it as much as I do. It’s a music that will take you back memory lane, ginger your spirit, revive your inner mind, set you on the motion path of inspiration to determination, to survive and succeed regardless of all obstacles.

Storms will always wither away, just if only we are patient and believe we will make it. We all go through storms, no one on this earth is an exception, the strong one will stand the test of time.

Everyone including me has a story to tell, the good, bad, ugly and stimulating ones. We shall have good stories to tell as we remain firm, strong and faithful for others to learn from it and also have hope to move on.

In the Midst of Darkness

14 Comments

Catastrophic events, trials, tribulations,

Flows in the part of life,

A necessity it is,

Encapsulating darkness to give rise to destruction.

Fought at the war front to break it into fragments,

Rebuffed, declined, refused,

Light is unleashed when the capsule cracks open.

 

Skin filled with filth of darkness,

Tossed away with spiritual cleansing,

Like the waves washed the shore.

A bright new skin is given birth to,

And Light comes forth.

 

in the midst of darknessThe heart corrupt with evil,

Calling forth darkness to overtake,

Will break open and through the eyehole shall light find it’s way in,

And shall call out the darkness,

To love, kindness, peace, togetherness, humility.

 

Nations engulfed with war,

Killings, Kidnappings, Abuses,

Why fill your domain with darkness?

Nothing good comes out of it,

Why seek for the power of the dark side?

Rebuke it, let it be banished,

Receive light for it will take you to the higher side.

 

Darkness and light have no place together

I hug light tightly to my bosom,

For darkness not to prevail.

Because I belong to the light,

I will not be overshadowed,

World overwhelmed by darkness is for a while,

Light will show forth, it cannot be consumed,

It can never be consumed.

We call out to light in one accord and embrace it like a child.

Why Deprive Me

4 Comments

Gorgeous, dazzling beauty of mine,

Causing unsettlements in my brain.

Sweet taste of you on my tongue.

Revealing sensational rippling effects flowing through my body,

 

My Maraschino cherry.

The sweet savour taste of you tickles down my oesophagus,

Giving rise to goosebumps on my skin.

Being the best thing that happened to me,

I know not what to do.

 

They deprive me of you,

They said I have too much of you in my system,

They said you will wreck my life

How on earth am I going to live without you

I have to stay away from you to be alive again.

How will I ever resist Ice cream in my life?

Creamy, milky Ice cream.
