Words

I love to write and love to speak. But words are hard for me. To communicate and not cause some kind of offence seems impossible, in this world that we live in. They look so simple on a page, so harmless and even inconsequential. But once uttered and given life, they can grow bigger and bolder that any magical beanstalk. Yet, you are expected to say words, in order to be understood, but then using words causes more confusion and misunderstanding than you could have imagined. Say a word like sorry, for example, in and of itself is sincere, but others may see it as a jeer and swear you meant offence when none was intended.

Words make you vulnerable because others attach so much meaning to an offhanded comment. Never say next time to someone who is desperate. For when you say next time, the next fifteen seconds could be that time. and you are not ready.

Words cause too much emotion to get loose and then your goose is cooked! Who said “passion is energy”, never knew how words filled with passion can sap you of yours. To tell the truth, may cause offence and so we lie to cover it up and then we all lose. Forgive me Father for my words, but then you say it again! You sit there being quite good and content, then someone comes to stir you with words: So and so is no good… and bam! we are on the gossip train. Words can lift you up and tear someone else down. You have to be very careful of your words, in this world we are living in.

Words can be your saviour to repel the demons in your life but words can also entangle you and keep you in a prison. So, be careful of your words because they can bring life to the dying.

Be Prepared

Be prepared
to walk alone
and reap real rewards.
Leave
the past behind
do not be led by the blind.
Be prepared
to leave the crowd
With them you will be cowed.
Be prepared
to be alone
leave
all stones overthrown.
Then with boldness
advance
advance...
Embrace the great unknown.

Let Go

Let Go

Don't
get confused
by fear
without reason.
Test

Don't 
be dispossessed
by falsehood
and doubt
trust
believe
receive.
Stay
rooted
to the truth.
Don't 
lose heart
be faithful
be true.
Stay focused
on the light
chase away
deceptions
of the night.

The Light in your Heart

The Light in your Heart

That light within 
can never go dim
never be snuffed out
nor tossed about
into the sea to swim or sink.

That light within
cannot be dismissed on a whim
because it insists
that it must exist
where there is life.

That light within
can be renew on a hymn
of thanksgiving
for the love you display
when you encourage it to stay.

That light within
lifts up your heart
each day requiring a new start
to all that you are
and all the possibilities it brings.

This is the light in your heart...

You Will Not be Forsaken

You Will Not be Forsaken

Don't badda worry
for the people wicked
soon need mercy
but dem a go dead!

Trust God,
do good,
no matter where you trod
God will give you what you deserve.

Don't worry about the one
who do evil to succeed
don't get angry
the wicked soon depart

God know and see all
let them plot
they soon get caught
and cut down small, small.

Don't worry bout famine
don't worry bout strife
God will protect you
He will save your life!

But you see that one there?
Fire and damnation!
Like dust he shall blown away.

Be generous,
not crafty like the wicked
and the evil committed,
but make God hold you up.

The righteous shall never be forsaken
despite opposition they will never be taken
because the good always speak righteous
from start to finish he is pious.

So fret not thyself,
evil shall fall in on itself
but the man who do good
shall never be shook.

Who Told You?

WHo Told You?

Who told you
to accept things they way they are?
Who told you to conform?
Who tricked you
told you
that is the only way
to follow the crowd.
WHo told you
you should never suffer
that trials would not appear?
Who told you to turn away
from who you truly are
to follow what they say?
Who told you 
you were weak
that all your life you would expereince defeat?
Who told you lies
so that you belief
and the truth you cannot see?

Stop being deceived.

Reputation

Reputation

There goes the lie
on spindly legs.
It crawls
about 
trying to find a route
out of the doubts
that it may not be who it seems.

The Lie:
We must protect Reputation - 
at all cost:
kill if you must
steal, fight and cuss.
But don't let out
the truth of what it is...

Constructed to please the crowd
now a monster too proud
to be cowed by humilty.
Knees stiffened
back straight
eyes fixed on success' frivolities.
Now it goes through the door 
Head held high
headed for the gate
that leads straight to hades.

Humility stand just a way off,
waiting for those who seek,
waiting for those who are meek.
