COUNTRY HOME

As I watch the whirlwind pave into every corner,
Like dew
The picture of the past and future forge before me,like a powerful collage of masterpiece
I hear it in their whisper
"Take a deep breath"
Follow the path where the dust warms the heart.
My country dines on the table of terror,
And turmoil is a welcomed guest at our table.
The key is  forged from our many years of education,
And our burnt candles are only its alloy.
A story,
Branded on our young minds by loving parents,
And in the foundry of our lost society,
We forge spears of our own destruction.
These politicians come,and upon their lips we can taste hatred,
Hatred unspoken,hatred for us their country men.
Our nationality is a story not ours to write,
But we bear in our hearts a chisel,
A chisel to carve out an identity in this earthen pot of unity.
Humbly let's cluster our heart in a dream,
A dream if change, and one day we will awake into a day
For this day will only be our path,
Our path to true patriotism.

HOPE CALLS

                                    HOPE CALLS In shadows deep, when hope seems dim,  And paths ahead are hard to skim, Remember this, in times so tough,  Your strength prevails, you're strong enough. Though storms may rage, and skies turn gray,  Your spirit shines through, come what may.  Each step you take, however small, Is a testament to your courage, standing tall. When doubts assail, and fears arise,  Look deep within, where strength lies.  For in your heart, a fire burns bright, Guiding you through the darkest night. Though trials may test your will to fight,  Hold fast to dreams, with all your might.  For every challenge, a lesson learned,  And with each setback, a brighter path discerned. So rise, dear soul, and do not yield,  For your journey's end is not yet sealed.  With faith as your compass, and hope your guide,  ...

LIFE

Dear reader, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm writing to you on such short notice. I'm a person who believes time is running out. We live in a world filled with endless problems, yet we manage to navigate through with masks of fake smiles. I write to those like myself.  You may not have endured the same trials as I have, and your story may be different in its own way.  But know that comparing our problems won't diminish mine or justify yours.  It's curious how we find hope in the tales of others. So, I hope you'll learn to let go and trust in God.  I hope you'll forgive yourself and others who may have caused you pain and resentment.  I hope you'll learn to live in the present and aspire to a brighter future.  I hope you'll discern truth from deception when others attempt to mislead you.  I hope you'll realize that true love begins with self-love before extending to others.  I hope you'll embrace inner peace amidst life's...

The young me

The story that completed me is the story I'm gonna share Years ago I wore pant designed with curiosity Hair bands made of pity With a matching shirt that reads she's too gullible I spend time alone in a corner feeling too ashamed to unvail my identity Wasn't sure of who I was so I kept jumping into spaces that didn't fit pretends was my best friend,oh! I Mean the only soul I got I freely gave what I had but held on to candies that weren't met for all Even though I looked strong I was bullied by those way too young to hit me Crying like a baby was all I knew best  And it didn't help, no it didn't So I crawled out of peoples Lives when I stop feeling comfortable Like a candle stick I held on to what I really felt within Before I clocked 15 have got lot of fears seating in my heart Each time I cough it like a bomb been released Into the universe Like a dream come through all my fear started to manifest it existence And yeah!I saw them coming but couldn't fi...
