FREEDOM

The Chains entangled around my wrist,
Are the only  sounds bold enough to tell my story, 
Living in a doomed world where edges are better off than the beginning.
Leaves dried up,
Mountains wearing away.
The night has become dark, even darker than coal.
We were told to learn.
How can we, when hunger is our closest companion?
Begging for a drop of water to wet a patched throat crying for survival.
Eating from the trash to avoid been eaten by vultures.
Our girls are been taken for their innocence by predators who offer a penny for their hymen.
Our banks mourn for emptiness.
Those we planted our hopes on,
Served us a dish of betrayal...
Right in front of me, 
I watch my world 
And like glass it crushed right before me.
If you must survive, you have to work.
Work through the day and harder at night.
Ammunition became what we fed from...
The carcass of many we slept on,
Our houses were demolished.
Our anger solidified, and out of our belly came groaning.
Enough!
Enough!!
We cried, no one heard,
No one cared.
It was time to choose the way,
The way to survival,
The way to healing,
The way to freedom.
For this reason we became our own prey,
Using what we got to get what we want.
Today most of us await judgement,
For things we never did on purpose.
We are tamed criminals,
Without knowing the path we all threaded..
Who can hear us?
Who understands how we feel?
Like candle our lives waxed away,
For this day we only cry for freedom.

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...

SAVED BY GRACE

It's been more than a year I post here. And I'm glad to be back. Journey with me has I drop Inspiring piece for you to feed on DAILY. Today's piece is titled " saved by Grace" and Its a reminder of how much Christ suffered to give us a new life.  No matter how far you've from God, you can always find a new life in Christ. You don't have to continue in sin. Christ paid it for us all to live freely under his GRACE. If you purchase my thoughts,  they won't taste like chocolate.  Discerning between my past and present is a future tense that instills hope within me. How gracious to be born into what appears as a mirage, yet somehow,  we've navigated through the narrow path.  What if he hadn't taken the risk?  What if he hadn't paid the price? A slave we would all become, But how sweet it is to hear about the man who bore my limitations upon his shoulders, settled the debt I owed, and still claims me as his own.  Every day, I stumble into sin, li...

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,  ...
