FEAR

                     

Fear put you in a circumstance
Where there is no second chance,
Where There is no going back
And domesticate one in lack;

Fear is the devils tool,
He makes us scared of a shadow
And we dare Not look out of the window,
And we hide behind our guts, like a fool;

Fear can age you
Fear will deceive you
Fear will paralyse you,
Fear will always hurt you!

Fear is: False Evidence Appearing Real
It's not real and was never real!
Fear is your limitation
It kills your ambition

It's an idea we create
That seals our fate
It hinders that sweet taste
And offer us a bitter grape,

It hunts every man,
Limit limitless beings...
It brings many paths
Even Adam had it, the first man.

Fear kills before the actual death!
It chokes one of life and breath,
It leaves one empty
In the room of perplexity.

It makes you always expecting
And not confronting
What plague you,
Only you, can save you!...

Fear make mistakes come easy,
Fear eradicate dreams clearly,
It ruins one's life
And opens a passage for us to die;

It's a thought, that creates a friction
On our speedy way to accomplishment,
It make our dreams look like a fiction
And all our effort it disrupt;

Don't be scared of pursuing your dream,
Work hard and plan wisely,
Explore consciousness stream,
Trust your guts, Hold unto your dreams firmly!

Don't let fear torment you,
I tell you this, because I have felt it
It nearly ended me in a dreary pit!
I was there, I don't Wish that for you;

You might have made the biggest mistake
You might have accepted your fate,
But there is still a way save
Out of this dejected place.

Fear will make you live on your kneels,
And make you appreciate silly things,
Fear will make you accept self-defect,
Get-up, but never give-up, win explicit.

COMMITED TO MY REIGN

Life is a journey 

Its kind of a misery,

When we don't understand our purpose

Life is so bitter and sweet, and not always a rose!

Fight the good fight,

Stand tall, stand-up 

Decide, don't give-up

Take your dreams on the first flight,

Its within our power

To make this life beautiful

When we stand-out dutiful,

And fly so high and not stopping lower,

Some didn't labor for riches

While we struggled for pennies,

We never enjoyed the sweetness of life

We were always shot-out on the other side...

I can't wait to see the real beauty of life,

It's time, give me the minstrels seat

Let me sing, teach and feast!

My lyrics flying high, like a colored kite;

I see things differently

But am just a man apparently,

With a big dream; who won't settle for less

Who just want the best or nothing else;

I won't accept defect, because am a conqueror,

Am building my empire

I wasn't born a prince

But in me I see, a royal, noble emperor,

I made mistakes, I have fell many times on my face,

But that doesn't hinder me from running the race!

I want no trouble, I just want to set the pace

Like Abraham going to an unknown-chosen place.

You can judge me 

No offence, am living for me,

You Are coming for my throne

But you don't know how I trove...

They want to take my crown

But I got here on my own,

This is an era for change

I wrote that already, on my page.

Don't be afraid of this current economic raid,

There's so much strength in "us" and "we",

Lets together build a colorful future,

It's now we perfect our lives and others aid.

I won countless battles,

You may not appreciate this because I am black!

but am committed to delivering others from lack

indeed am taking my place in palaces...

Look at me, heart of a champion

See what am capable of, hit the clarion,

Speak of goodness and peace in the north

And bring good tidings forth.

The sun will always shine

Am always gonna do fine,

Walk pass the shadow of sorrow 

Am doing it today, I don't know of tomorrow

EXPECTATION

It's a quiet night

So beautiful shines the light,

A expectant father

A hopeful mother

They prayed together

Showered love on one another

They worked harder 

To make their life easier...

Then came a baby

That made them so happy,

This was in the early 80's

Now a contrary in this century;

Where has love gone to

This was real hirtherto,

Ooh this sweet feelings...

Has been crushed by the world dealings!

Now lies pain and hatred 

This wasn't so expected,

No time for smile

No smile any time;

Those times are now memories.

In the 21th century

A bitter time of agony

Now it's time to share the story...

If happy ever after, exist,

Then they will still, be happy as "this"

Those love songs were fairy tales;

Not as they did actually, everyday feast.

See the realities of life...

How bitter men strive!

Always wanting to be better 

Than the man next door.

This is a market,

Where we all buy and sell,

Not to be idle, and put hands in our pocket,

Else we will be locked in the masters cell.

So as they grew older,

love died after,

they were once soul-mates

but now they are perfect room-mates.

How then can one predict the future

Without having the temperance to incure

What the world have to feature

In this blur picture.

They had great expectations

It appeared in their expressions

Alas! they had few appreciations

For the few granted applications

The child born in happiness

Now grew up in despair

Tormented by fear!

He was strong; but weaked by hopelessness.

Husband and wife, 

Became brother and step-sister

See what life can bear!

Their expectations coundn't stand the tide.

CALAMITY AND ME

It's a crazy day so cold

with all I have been told,

and I have seen my troubles

which beat me flawless;

Still young and growing old

many facts and truth yet to unfold,

my chest is dusty and cold

my quest is pure as gold!

Sadness lie at my door,

troubles attacks me like a floud,

nevertheless I believe in God

because he understands the odd,

I have seen the suffering of Job,

it happened today bold,

like the fierce anger of Joab

worse than the strive of moab...

All I can do is cope,

I need prayers from Mr Pope!

maybe he can decode

this agonistic misery, off-code!

Where else can I go?

walking to and fro,

running from my true self!

chasing a fairy chef;

I want this cup to be taken from me

who would save me from this!

am drowning in the deepest sea!

it's titled calamity and me...

Oh, angels has forsaken me!

friends have neglected me!

foes long to hurt me!

so what's more wreched than me?

Looking at my face in a mirror

who is this neither nor?

open windows of terror

has aged me neither nor!

Is there hope left at all?

oops what a great fall!

one day I wiil stand tall

that's a piece left at all...

What's behind me, my shadow

what's after me, a scary hollow!

I laugh at my self

am lower even than a serf,

Tell the preacher to stop

he speaks for those on top,

he's a santified hypocrate

only if he had read about socrate!

And to my fathers, I bid adieu,

and to the young men, I see a few

and to the little once, I wish a new

she's only got me and you!

Pain release me to peace,

worry allow me of self-ease

no longer myself to tease

this prayer I render-lease.

I WILL SUCCEED

It's not about our name,

Or neither our "race"

Or the color of our face

That enables us to win and set the pace,

It's about our will-power

This is a heart-troubler,

It's not a matter of I "can" or I "can't"

It's a matter of the heart!

I'll do whatever it takes, 

To take my place

I won't quit the race

Until I have that taste!...

I'll go out there

Put in the work everywhere,

Until I reach my success

I won't settle for less.

I am in-charge of this life

I am the captain of my life,

I will do what I have to

so as to get to where I want to.

I am convinced that I will succeed,

I will burn calories

And reap hills

I will make histories.

I am not a finished product

Because am striving everyday

No matter what people may say

I won't stop, I want my pay day!

Its just a matter of time

Till I get my desires incline

No matter what it takes me;

I will succeed.

I will work harder 

To make my life much more easier,

To helping hands, my best regards

I will never let their effort wastes.

Yes, for me to prove myself

I have to better myself;

It's the reason am putting in the work

So tomorrow I can colorful stones rock...

I work hard in the street,

To get out of this mess

So am standing fit

Ready to win and feast!

For me, I want this;

As much as I want to live,

I will not fret

Because I have no room for regret!

I will do everything within my power

Each and every hour,

To see my dreams become a reality

That's my uncommon philosophy!..

The pain may be much now,

But the gain is greater after

I will learn, I will press forward

I will work, and I will succeed.

PAIN

I have walked length and breath,

I have seen Low and height,

Changes have occurred, days gone

Yet my dreams is yet to come,

I have incurred much pain

Is it because am a decedent of Cain?

After all this, nothing left to gain

And i still wish for good once again,

Yes pain made me a stronger version of myself

Indeed I honestly work for pain itself,

Because am a true believer 

And pain is my true reward from the giver,

Pain helps me tolerate

Pain made me appreciate,

Pain made me look for a way

Out of this isolate place,

In pain did my mother bear me

In pain also she raised me

In joyous pain I got a name

Now i live with pain down the lane,

Sometimes I wish I was bigger!

I hope, I become better

Am not a day dreamer

I simply work harder,

Pain made them beg on the street,

Pain made some struggle to be rich,

Pain even made some the gospel preach,

Indeed pain has made us much better!

Pain goes beyond the fleshy hurt

It goes dip to hurt the heart!

My fathers fought in pain

And got their freedom through pain,

A constant element is pain,

It consent not to change

Man is born free, but all round he is in chain

Like a free man in cage!

Some couldn't bear the pain,

So they seek for another quicker way

That took them to an early grave

See how they misused grace!

Truth be told, everyone has tasted pain 

Even my lord made us free through pain!

The apostles, many was slain,

So as to get a greater gain

Don't be deceived

To make it, you must first plant the seed,

Sow in pain, reap in joy

To us, life was never a toy!

To some it was easy

Their father made them lazy,

They never knew pain

They became tyrants, and caused more pain!

To this day and after, I work harder

Not to brag, but to be greater,

Than my brave fathers 

And to teach wisdom to the latters.

POVERTY

This makes man wretched,

This among men cause hatred,

Yes this is a disaster

That wounds forever!

Poverty kills the spirit

And destroys the body explicit,

Hard work is it only exit

To a weaker district,

Yea, don't confuse human need 

For the fleshy human greed,

In this world of vanity

What's the cause of insanity?

You wicked killer!

You high fever!

You sweet pizza 

In a lazy man hands,

Its strains man of life, 

It kills talent

It makes one low, like a blind bat

It presents hunger strike,

What's life without money?

When life is said to be more of money

A man that have it, has glory

He can gladly share his story,

Money is not the root of all evil

Believe me, its poverty! which kills and entice like a devil,

Again, don't be deceived by man's greed

Money is an essential need!

Why are the Negros entangled with poverty?

Disease is what they own as property,

Most of these guys are wallowing in poverty

How can I free them of this long-time agony?

Poverty is the state of nothingness,

A value less than a worth!

Which create chances for wrath,

Its isolates one, and drown him or her in hopelessness, 

Poverty kills faster than a disease,

It made all our able-bodied youth flee

To become thugs for the ambassadors of poverty,

Ooh what a misery!

I remember, he said to me son

You have to make it under the sun!

Don't bother for fame

Instead fulfill your name,

He told me victory 

Is what out-stand poverty,

Although its not easy

He unleashed the secret!

He took me from where i fright

He made me see the light,

Now i write to them that strife

The legacy he gave me I keep alive.

Say no to poverty

Don't give up on your dreams quickly,

Fear is poverty infantry!

Live your dreams; defeat poverty.
