I HAVE WRITTEN A POEM

I HAVE WRITTEN A POEM 

I have written a poem  

Bourne out of the deepest core of my reality 

A poem written out of fear 

Fear suffered out of pain 

Pain as a result of a bitter past 

I have written a poem of how the African gracefully broke the chains of slavery  

And also a poem of how even in independence, the African survives on Charity 

This poem I wrote  

Holds the keys to a doors of hope for a better tomorrow  

A tomorrow who's yesterday is today 

A today filled with blurred visions 

Blurred visions of a tomorrows of hope 

This poem would make a difference  

This poem would change the sequence 

This poem would ignite resistance  

But this poem wouldn't breed disobedience  

So don't think its all fashion when you see my eyes locked 24/7 behind shades 

Because it might just be my own way of hiding my vision from the lights of shattered dreams 

The dreams of yesterdays hope 

A hope still being hoped against hopes of tomorrow 

But until then, I just have a dream 

A dream achieved fully in writing 

So I have written a poem 

And this is the poem I wrote 

...

THE MODERN DAY CHRISTIAN

THE MODERN DAY CHRISTIAN 

I am a Christian 

An upgraded version of You 

I am the cleanest 

Soaked and washed with His Blood 

I do no wrong  

Cos I have Christ in me 

These are your confessions 

But little or none of the above are seen in your Actions 

Sorry, 

For I choose to be different 

And you can label me ancient 

I won't be your type of Christian 

Who's only bit Christianity in seen when seen when in the midst of fellow men 

Accepting every bit blessing from the preacher  

But speaks curses even in the presence of the Divine Healer 

Call me a boring Christian 

And I'd smile, coz to me, your Christianity is like a dead lion in chains 

Just like a labourer working in vain 

Aggressive but faithless  

Heaven bound with a blurred vision 

You fed me when I was hungry 

And to the public, U told my sorry story 

I won't be that Christian who'd only smile to sermons on success 

And frown at those hitting on spiritual and physical progress 

You expect greater works 

Even after confessing with thy mouth destructive Words 

I won't be your type of Christian who has a problem when it comes to giving  

But is the quickest to should Amen and I Receive it to prophesies on receiving 

Serving God in your Modern way still remains a give and take affair 

Praise him and have all your burdens erased 

Fast, coz that's the only way to get your rewards faster 

Worship, and you'd have your spiritual warship activated  

Breast fed Christian with bone cracking teeth 

That is all we are 

All we seek to be 

And all we'd been led to become 

The modern day Christian

I Choose To Write

I 

Write 

I Write 

I Choose to Write 

Because in writing I can share feelings never felt 

In writing I can live dreams dreamt  

In writing I express emotions felt and feared  

I can feel high, no need for weed 

Just sincere expressions only expressed through my thought to my fingertips 

For every pain U caused me, I just choose to write 

Because in writing, I express my anger 

And still offends none, just a pad, a keypad, my keyboard and my touch screen 

I  

Wrote 

I wrote of my victories and failures 

Wrote about those sweet times 

The bitter sweet 

The ugly 

Ups and Down 

Rejections 

Appreciations 

Heartbreaks  

Breakthroughs  

I wrote in an attempt to fix the wrong  

Even though I have never been right  

So for all this moments I kept writing  

And I wrote  

And narrowed my pain to none 

Just a Pad, a keypad, my keyboard and my touch screen 

I have Written 

And for all those moments I wrote 

I build a virtual relationship with myself 

In writing , I shared my pain  

Celebrated my gains 

Rise and fall 

And how I kept rising after every fall 

All this I shared 

With none but myself 

I have written  

Because I wrote 

And I would write 

Because, 

I just choose to Write.....

My Prayer

MY PRAYER

First,
I pray we go all through our hustles and still live lives that sees tomorrow
And yes,even though we get broke sometimes, I pray we never see ground zero
I pray we walk daily with cheeks filled consistently with smiles
And for our pains and hurts, still smile, even though life sometimes taste like bile

Secondly,
I pray we loose no lovers
Death might come, but if it has to do with loosing, Lord let's jux loose haters
Lord, give me the strength to walk a mile in my own shoes
Yes, I pray for the heart of gratitude, jux so I can appreciate U for me cos one man's win might jux be my loose

Not A Blame Game

I am not here to play the blame game
Neither do I come deliver the crown of Shame
I am here just to free my mind
And very sorry if it wouldn't be what you term "your kind"

So ECG, this one goes to you
And don't think I'd blame Mahama for things you couldn't do
It feels like you are our nemesis
So shocked at how you can be consistent in your inconsistencies
And now very inconsistent in your inconsistencies
12/24
That what you said
And now, none at all
Into the system, that's what you fed

My Mum's First Television Set

MY MUM'S FIRST TELEVISION SET

The journey to Sister Vivian's home always came with a bliss. It only meant one thing and i know most people who grew up in my generation would appreciate that fact too cos that journey meant I was going to watch TV, yes !! I was going to watch all those stuff i didn't understand but just the fact that I was sitting behind a screen felt so good..

I could wake the following morning and brag about the fact that I was at Sister Vivian's home to watch tv, the level of bragging was different if it has to do with something I understood, like the watching the " Captain Planet Series ", wow, all the kids around my age who weren't fortunate enough to watch Captain Planet that day would be around me all day just so I'd tell them what the planeteers did this time round to save the planet against the Captain Pollution and his counterparts ..

WORK FOR YOUR TURN

WORK FOR YOUR TURN

I remember seeing a post on Facebook with the image of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams attached to it which read, " Wait for you Turn ".. I decided to wait and read the post before i sleep but thanks to ECG for bringing the light just around the same time and giving me reasons enough to do any other thing that light could allow me to aside reading from my laptop, now I can't even find the post and the one who posted it too...What hurts most is that I also can't tell if that's something the Archbishop said or it was something written by someone with reference to the Archbishop, all the same I think I'd differ in both ways... Times have change and people have stopped waiting for their turns, people are now " WORKING FOR THEIR TURNS ".... And not only are people working for working sake but people are now working really hard and connecting themselves to people who'd link them to their short term goal and future dreams..
