…UNTITLED

A home not a brick of war

An angel not an assassin

A wife not a knife

A helpmate not a defrauder

A home keeper not a home breaker

A comforter not a eiderdown

A promise keeper not a promise breaker

A friend not a foe

A companion not a pain in the neck

A heart full of joy not a heart turns apart

A loving husband not a tyrant

A listening being not a detector

A caring being not uncare one

A heart full of understanding not self heart of understanding

A compassionate being not uncompassionate

A sweet graceful word not a heartaches word

A keeper of secret not of a licking tongue

A being whose is there all time all season not a betrayer

A heart who listening not a heart who judges one

A dead self person not a self centered being

Someone who stands by you

Not the one who walks out on you

When the world left you stranded

In good time and bad time

…

A Date With The Enemy

Is better to be late then to be late

And the angel you know is better off

Then the devil you just meant

To handle yourself use your head

To handle others use your heart

As will going through life

There is need for association

From one stage of life to another

Will get involve with virtually everyone

Some got our back for real while some just fool us

They are perpetual time wasters

Some are just unwillful set of being

So self centered careless void of conscience

Just there roaming around like a hole in a pig hole

As on slot it went on and on

A date with the enemy

Is like a fool fooling himself

Towards his partner nothing less nothing more

A fake heart of loving a being fooling such a one

Is better to be sincere then to be insincere

Communication without sincere heart

Feelings unreal without no real thing

Fake plastic smile while within a frown ensue

Lies begat lies to rise to a standard of lifestyle

A date with enemy

Is always characterize by heartaches

Waste of time, energy and money

In search of a unhealthy common ground

To have possess on an alter of falsehood

A date with the enemy

A HOME

When forgiveness is too hard to earn

And the pain of the offence committed lingered

The night is far from the dusk a home

Is not built on resentment and unforgiving lifestyle

A home is built on nothing less than love

If you well said then what is a home

A home is not a bricks of war

Where the war of words of hate and bitterness ensue

A home is not built to be manage endured in pain

Pain of abusive words slandered and cut off

If you well said then what is a home

A home is never an avenue

To molest and murder emotion

Making one living but a death corpse walking around

A home waiting to be buried and lost out

A home built on fairness equity and trust

A home where love exceeds hate

A home where sweet savour words are use

A home where there is contentment

A home where the crowd never mingle with the home affairs

Fairness is been seen in making judgments

Equity upholding the justice of judgment in absolute fairness

Trust so much never allow the third party to be a yardstick

Loving no matter the condition…no matter the weather

Words for every season ensue to uplift and encouraging words

Contentment to its fullest spot

Never living outside the jurisdiction of all sphere of life

Living in the means of what you have

Live for the moment as tomorrow welcomes great things

A home this should be how a home should

Built on God and follow God’s leading and will

Prayer the key strong factors that binds so strong

No Home To Keep Our Love

There is a place where the heart is at home

At the bosom of the one who we love dearly

Dearest to our abode we keep it nourish it

To water it with affectionate feelings to let it grow

No home to keep our love

It wonders from shore to shore

Out there in the midst of cold

It stays like a heart a without a home

On life’s road it strays just there

No home nor shelter to rest it’s head

Love comes to those who believe

Something we find love in an unseemly place

With this set of person of a truth

There is a connection between two hearts

Two hearts that beats as one

A home for you

A home for me

The fire burns so passionately inside us

We long for each other there is this bound

The light up the fire that sparkle through the night

But a home is where this love can stay

We keep it inside our heart with its feeling

As we feed and nourishes this love

Guiding it jealously with all what we got

Shutting the world out just us you and I

Just to bring us together

And reach out to us in every spheres

Of the one we reach out to as our heart too

We ready to take this thing we share

But there is no home to keep the love

Breaking the distance o’er space and time

As we tend to keeps the fire burning

But for how long can we be apart from us each other

On this wide space of time alas but no place

No home to keep our love

BEEN MARRIED…BEEN RESPONSIBLE

Some school of thought had it

That until one is married that’s when

One become responsible

Responsible because such a one

Is now attached to a particular being (Mr.&Mrs.)

Been married…Been Responsible

Does that serve as a yardstick of been responsible

Doesn’t becomes something worthy to associate with

You chase the wind in flittlessness of life

How many married men today are responsible? Few

A lot of them are married with kids

And while some are not with kids

Some are busy just busy chasing what they are not

Some are married but single

Been married…Been Responsible

But how do one measure been responsible

There are responsible single men out there today

Better off than the married men who are married

But are not responsible at all far from it

Marriage shouldn’t be a yardstick to measure been responsible

Like a man fails to provide for his own

Like a man who fails to keep the marriage vow

Like a man whose kids aren’t in school because of money

Like a man who has lost his dignity in sight of the secretary in the office

Like a man whose authority is sold out because of not been able to be a man

Is that one responsible compare to that single man?

Who know what he wants in life than he define it and chase it

Who knows how to keep himself pure from anything under the skirt

Who chases is dream rather than chase women of lose virtue

Who work legitimately and foot is bills, Is that man not responsible?

Let me tell you been responsible

Is not until one is married

Your been responsible when you are not married

Determines you become more responsible when you’re married

So please spear me that singles are responsible too

SOMEBODY SHOT THEIR DAD

The rate of infidelity in marriage these days

Is so alarming that makes one think

What happen to the first love that was shared?

That brought this two separate entity to unite as one

That one you feel and prayed and see is good for you

Call it whatever names

Extra-marital affairs, infidelity

One night stand, cheating adventure hmmm a deadly end

We live in days where we have modified this act

Adultery is adultery

Adultery what a ravaging monster

It fears no man whatever how tough such a man is

Adultery can take a strong man and break him

Falling him flat on his back some rise up

While some never get the chance to come back up again

This has been an age long time battle

And so many has been stigmatized

With this great epidemic called adultery

Has nailed so many men down shattered careers

Shattered dreams and lost their families

Broken and shattered dreams

Someone shot their dad

Just as an insurance risk occurred

Risk is also the central issue in determining whether or not

You will survive the ambush of another woman

Somebody shot their Dad

For some it’s the bullet that flies out

Of the ambush of another woman

And some go down because of the ambush of neglected family

Somewhere along the lane of adultery someone shot their Dad

I don’t know what is taking you from your family

I don’t know who are spending all your time with

Or are you currently spending so much time

With an attractive woman other than your wife?

Do you have a personal time with the Lord in prayer and read the Bible?

Are you absolutely sure that you won’t get shot by somebody?

SOMETIMES

You wanna talk with someone for so long

And you just don't wanna be the one calling.

Your voice echoes on a far distance

Hoping to be heard by some a question goes

Who's here?

When the heart is cold 
and loneliness took your heart far
you were alone in the midst of the crowd
who comes along when one cries for help?

And no one was there to held the call

You long for someone to talk

Someone to share your burden heart with

You stretch forth your hand

But no one was to hold on to

Sometimes

Even been in the midst of the crowd

You still feel to be all alone

As other walks in pair you walk alone

You bear it all alone by yourself

Sometimes

Loneliness becomes your acquaintance

You confident…your space

Your world is just you and you alone

Sometimes my mama house don’t feel like home

Sometimes

EMOTIONAL REJECTION

After leading Britain to victory

Against Nazi Germany Winston Churchill

Earned his place in history

Britain has been so intimated by Hitler

That petitions were being circulated at Oxford and Cambridge

That Britain should surrender to German

Hitler was roving around Europe at will

His war machine was seemingly unstoppable

Most of the Britain was defeated psychologically before the war started

But what Winston Churchill took charge

As prime minister on May 10, 1940

One month later leaders from around the world

Were wondering whether if France was defeated

Britain would quit as well

After so much great speech from Winston Churchill

By the power of his will and personality

Churchill as one historian puts it

Transformed cowards into brave men

And incredible things begin to happen

Five years later, the incredible became reality

On May 7, 1945, Germany surrendered to the Allied forces

How did Britain show their thanks to the man

Who had single handedly restored their resolve and determination

On July 25, not quit three months after Germany’s defeat

The nation showed their thanks to this great man

By summarily voting him out of office

Churchill was rejected by the very people

He had helped to save! He had pulled them together as a nation

And then with victory in hand they turned on him

Churchill was wounded

Perhaps you too likewise

NO MARRIAGE IS ALL SUNSHINE

THE Blue Niles a rushing, churning river,
which gains its energy from the mountains
down which it descends. It carries
with it much of the rich and muddy
soil from the country through which
it passes to the Nile delta far away.

In the delta, the Blue Nile is joined
by the White Nile, a sleepy, peaceful river
and which flows across the plains.
As their names indicate,
the White Nile is a clear river in comparison to the Blue.

Once they join together
into the same riverbed,
these two river maintain their distinct qualities
and colors for many, many miles.
From high above, one can clearly see
the muddy currents of the Blue Nile,
and the clear waters of the White.

They are separate, yet united.
The longer the rivers share
the same riverbed, however,
the more their current intermingle,
until the two rivers truly become
one powerful and life-giving waterway.

When tough times hit a marriage
or disagreement erupt,
make a decision that you will pull together,
rather than allow yourself
to be pulled apart by temporally circumstances,
momentary conflicts, or resolvable differences.

Choose to flow together.
The longer you do,
the more “one” you will become. No marriage is all sunshine,
but two people can share one umbrella if they handle close.

BEST FRIENDS MAKE THE BEST SPOUSES.

Is your spouse your best friend?

How privilege you are if the answer is “Yes.”

Perhaps an even more important

question to ask is this: “Are you a good friend to your spouse?”

in being a good friend, you very often gain a best friend!

A true friend is someone

to whom you can empty your heart

a heart often made to feel “full”

by many different sources of passion, concern, or worry.

Francis Bacon once wrote:

“We known diseases of stopping and suffocation

are the most dangerous in the body;

and it is not much to otherwise in the mind:

you may take sarza to open the liver,

steel to open the spleen,

flower to sulphur for the lungs, castoreum for brain;

but no receipt openeth the heart

but a true friend, to whom you may impart grief,

joys, fears, hopes, suspicions,

counsels and whatsoever lieth upon

the heart to oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift or confusion.”

One of the best gifts

you can give your spouse and your children

is listening ears.

Be a friend to the four C’s:

Compassion,
Caring,
Consideration

and Comfort.

Those four traits never grow old or fall out of fashion.

THE BONDS OF MATRIMONY

A MAGENT has tow poles.
It doesn’t, it isn’t a magnet!
It’s only a useless hunk of scrap iron.
One of the greatest danger signals
in a marriage is when either partner
no longer feels attracted to the other.

This attraction actually

has very little to do with youth or sex appeal

as some might think. Attraction is based

on how we define and perceive “beauty”

which is an inner quality, not merely a cosmetic

or superficial state of prettiness or style.

True beauty lies in the image of God.

When we see another person

as being created by God’s image,

we begin to see more of their beauty.

The more we acknowledge the beauty

of their creation, the more we are attracted to their beauty.

Part of keeping the magnet working

is seeing your spouse as

“God’s creation in process.”

Your spouse may be influenced and encouraged by you,

but ultimately your spouse is God’s creation.

Your spouse’s beauty is rooted

in what God is doing in his or her life.

You are privilege to watch your spouse’s

beauty unfold and to enjoy the person

your spouse is becoming!

The bonds of matrimony

are worthless unless

the interest is kept up.

Love & Motivation

The goal of motivation
Is to inspire you others to action
Action you can be proud of action
That is based on truth and love
Love and motivation

Over and over repeatedly
We are told that example
Is the key to leadership?
If we want people to do something for us
We must inspire them by example

In short…
We get what we give
So watch what you give out
What you sow you reap
What you think attract what you get

Love is not love
When it is cooped up
It is not a source of power
Until you give it away
Love is action

…COLD SILENCE

…COLD SILENCE

There is a silence that goes inside of me

Life bring such a silence on and on like that

Mortal’s unimaginable traits and deeds fad one up

You don’t really know who is who as everyone fakes it

Fake life so much everywhere with plastic smiles

A prolong misdeeds springs forth cold silence

Among the mischief of mankind that transcends

And span a distance of friendship just on and on like that

It fades off and fake away in pretense and hypocrisy

Just the heart can tell only when the heart is cold

Just because of the heart is heavy of betrayed friendship and relationship

It was whether and slaughtered away on the stable of mankind

Cold silence ensue when it has all be taken away from it all

Cold so cold silence within makes the heart too hurt to house trust

The one you gave out your trust out is lost you were so cold

Everything starts to fall out and fade out

Silence makes the heart cold and void of the excitement

Of living a life in the midst of deceit and distrust from friends and love ones

Staring you at your eyes when men has slaughtered the hope out of you

Down casted and weathered out by the unfair criticism of human

Cold silence…so locked away in your own world

So silence without life inside of it

But when it hurts so badly

Who do you talk to when you are all by yourself?

Where do you go to when you needed someone to talk?

Hmmm

But…

When life gave you thousands of reason to doubt your shadow

When mortals write you off when the immortal one hasn’t done so

When the situation of life gave you thousands of reasons to end it all

When the coldness of the heart becoming unusual

Cold Silence
