INSPIRE YOU

Life is a mean and nasty place
It's gonna show you an angry face
So you have got to step up
Work your way up to the top

Why are you here?
Are you to be pitied
When there's a better title
No matter how many times you tred

Don't stop until you are at the top
Lives is too short, so don't aim small
Whatever you do, stand tall
And never give up

There's no reason for you to live small
The world is waiting for your shine
Raise your head, put on a smile
Go on, put on the wig! It's your call

I love this saying
If you want something,
People tell you, you can get it
It's yours, go get it!

Don't be deceived
Life isn't that sweet
As we thought when we were kids
Life is really dark as a pit

So when you get a chance
Don't fail to quickly take
What's yours, it's your place
And your fear boldly face

Life is a race
Many in this run engage
But just one wins
Go soar on eagles wings

Laziness is failures merchant
Get up, work up to the top
So the world, your praise can chant
It's up to you to aim that spot

Life is a misery
But we ought to give it meaning
After all this striving
We can win with positive infantry

I urge you to be brave
Don't just wait and crave
There's no pleasure in the grave
This message I want you to embrace

I pray God give you grace
To run this race
Whatever you believe on
Just be positive! Ride on

One day you shall reach your dream
Only when you follow consiousness stream
And never grow weary
That's only how you can taste victory

So aim for the top
Keep on the work, don't stop
You can win this race
Brace yourself for the next phase.

WRITE

The good old days
When our fathers
Wrote with ink and feathers
And illuminated us as lighters

Then the love for books
The joy of poetry pieces
The eagerness to learn
Not just only to earn

The legacy they left behind
Only few of us still keep in mind
How they taught us only to be true
How they persuaded us to love this course

Never derail from this part
This is what kept us far
It is the lamp in the darkest part
It will guild you if you never say never

It is something you can't rob
This message is to caution the mob
To not live astray
And to make you see the ninth ray

You might chose to believe
Or blot your mind with a lie
Nevertheless we never expected this of life
But we have to positively live life

Again I say never depart
From this noble part
It is the art
That kept our minds fat

We know how much they tried
The misery of life to understand
Each man to pen down his experiences
So the latter world could add up the pieces

Now it's our turn
How far have we gone
Did we fail on the long run
Or all our fathers works are forgone 

What a passive generation
Even with much established institutions
But they still lack the exact formation
All they could derive was miscalculations

This days is carried with new dews
We left the part of gurus
And decided to form something new
What is now left of the best things we once knew

I pray that I remain in that road
That my zealous fathers once rode
My pen will never dry to write you ode
So I can laugh and never regret when am old

Am this message my will deliver
To the world and beyond to read and hear
That poetry would never die in this era
It will live on forever

My children write for your generation
Don't heed to the visible temptation
That comes your way to charge you to depart
See you soon where we shall never part.

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.
