Nothing+God

Nothing+God

Nothing plus God
equals everything.
A difficult equation
to understand
for many of us
for His ways are not ours.

But take for a minute 
all those who started that way -
from David the Shepherd boy
dirty and unattractive
too puny
to grow into himself,
a mighty warrior King.
What about Moses?
was living in hell
because he doubted himself
yet God held him up
with a staff that could tell
of how great God is.
To Joseph the dreamer
who dreamed up great dreams
until they were real.

They all had their day
and are still remembered till today.

Let's go deeper still -
this world that we live in
was created from dust
brought into something.
From many a failures
God took us from our jaliors
and gave us a saviour.

They and we
grew into greatness.
God had to take them and us from nothing
Be in the equation-
and trust me with faith
the same destiny awaits us.

Without a Source

A country without a source
has all the potential
but little vision.
It struggles with the little it sees
while being taunted by the much it holds.
Never to know the richness of its riches
only to see the gutter in which
it strove and stroked out of.
Twisted by circumstances
to always look back
lost in forget me nots
broken promise.
Lost in a dream
without a source.

The Enemy Success

The Enemy Success 

Success whispers in your ear - 
"you have arrived
for awhile let's rest here".
We sit and bask in what we have achieved
and never realise we are being decieved
because we cannot see
what else from within ourselves we can retrieve.
We begin to think - 
"there is nothing better in this world
than what we have now.
and we allow
complacency to take reign
and suffer the pain,
of the wasted years
when we settled for less, 
instead of giving more than our best.
If only we believed
there was more to achieve than the present fame
which fades under the pressure of 
misguided vain.

Never Too Much

Never Too Much

You can never have too much Patience.
Can you?
You can never tire of love?
Will you?
You can never get sick of peace
Grow frustrated by it?
You can never be too kind.
Throw up at the thought of it?
Have too much self-control.
Can it make you sick?

You can never have
too much of the good things.
and the good things
can revive you like a living spring.

No Excuses

No Excuses

Are you at the edge
trying to get into the healing pool?
You have tried to tip over
But there remained unmoved.
Have angels stired the waters for you
to make then holy?
But still felt trapped by your circumstance?
I am sure you have wondered 
why you must linger
and suffer while everyone else jumps in
before you.

Did you try rolling over?
Try getting closer
one inch at a time each day?
Or are you stuck with your excuses
that block your blessings
stops you from making it in?
Has time been robbed from you
because you hesitate?

Do not fear
take up your bed and be of good cheer.
You will be restored and realigned.
You will get back your time.


The Power of the Tongue

The Power of the Tongue

Words thrown carelessly across the front page
cut so deeply
it reaches vital veins.
Puffed up arrogance
can only relate in disdain.
You grow tall or short
depending on the blessing or curse
uttered flippantly
to your face.

Words can hurt
words can kill.

She spews her truth
god complex
her words digs her own grave
her power made impotent
by falsehood uttered in a rage
of hurt and torment.

Words can hurt
words can kill.

I fight the battle uphill
to reach my way to the top
so that I can grab and come back
with the words that will combat those sharp knives
uttered outside the vortex of time.

Words can hurt
words can kill

Sticks and stone
can break your bones
but words
cut much deeper.
They rob your soul
of joy untold
and makes a rich life
so much cheaper.

Words can hurt
words can kill.

Or do they just kill?

That Word “Suppose”

That Word "Suppose"

Suppose
your dreams were made to waste
and never saw the light of day?
Suppose
all you thrived off was the possibility
of those dreams?
Suppose
you did not take some risks
what tradgedies would your life consist?
Suppose
fear held you fast
and all your plans left scattered in the past?
Suppose
you followed your friends
towards their dreams until the end 
and because of this you never did pursue
all you were meant to do?

Just suppose you took a look
at what has been written in your book
to change the future it will hold
so you can take back control
from Suppose and its terrifying fold.
