My
Greatest Fear
It feels great but how long will it last
What if He doesn’t like it even though He gave it to me
I want it only when I want it, no thoughts of the one who may need it
I could do it in the water but I don’t want to drown or get it all wet
It makes me high like I’m flying to another dimension but there still
seems to be some tension so I can’t quite get it right
Has me screamin “That’s it!” making me want to create a scroll
cause I am on a roll
I can taste it in my sleep but question is; will I wake up to see it
Driving in the car, stopping on the side of a road with no shoulder cause the
clock is ticking but can’t get the position because of the glare from
the sun, I tried not to stare
On the desert becoming a survivor
Snacking on my thoughts, feasting off my words, thirsting for my ink, letting
it out on my pad
Despite the dryness, trying to perfect the skill that compliments my gift
My greatest fear is not pursuing my passion that God has given me clear, oh
dear indeed that is my greatest fear.
Back
to the Basics (snippet)
ABC so what happens to D thru Z?
123, so there’s no infiniti?
Do Re Me, so when do I breathe?
Simon says, but if he doesn’t what’s going to be done?
According to the recipe…, I don’t have flour so does the dish not
reach its destiny?
At first I crawl, so when I began to walk was it normal to fall?
A, E, I, O, U, so when is “sometimes Y”?
I know what’s right, so does going left make it wrong?
Sometimes I miss the way things used to be, so do I let it go in order to be
free?
Some say the Sabbath is on a Sunday, so what does that make Monday?
God said “Let there be light”, but that doesn’t explain why
we have night.
God is Love so when I say “I love you” and don’t know God,
does it become “I might”.
Faith is believing in the invisible, so is it safe to see, if you expect the
impossible.
The Word says “Fast and pray”, so am I starving when I fast and
leave praying for last...
My
Boss (snippet)
Gives me instructions
Has a book with protocols, the way I should do things
Signs my time sheet, when I check in and check out
Approves or disapproves my actions
Orientates me on my purpose
Sets the schedule for my attendance
My
Boss
Doesn’t show favoritism
Doesn’t talk at me, but to me
Doesn’t take pleasure in seeing me struggle
Doesn’t go behind my back and report me
Doesn’t think He knows it all
Doesn’t judge me
Doesn’t hesitate to teach me new things with the fear that I will take
His job
My
Boss
Knows He knows it all
Sits high and looks low
Considers me His child
Keeps the same love despite my faults
Helps me when I need it and when I don’t
Is always around
Accepts me the way I am with the mindset that each day will get better
Sees the potential inside of me...
It
Doesn’t Have To Stop There
I - time to Identify me by reviewing my history of Idolatry.
N - time to reach out to the One who supplies all my Needs cause I don't know
how many more Numbered days I'll see.
C - time to allow God to be in total Control no longer Collaborating with anyone
other than He.
A - time to Apply the Word to my life, what my grandma has told me since I started
out with all this strife.
R - time to be Revived, Resuscitated cause DNR is not a part of raising my bar.
C - time to Commune, Consecrate, and Concentrate on the powers that be in me.
E - time to be Edified by Exalting my Excellency.
R - time to Repent for all the wrong I've done, said, or thought.
A - time to Accept the things I can’t change and be thankful for the Angels
that watch over me.
T - time to Transform my mind and conform my heart.
E - time to be Examined then Enlightened by the One who interceded for me cause
I could have Life like the guy next to me.
D - its time to Discover my Divine Destiny.
INCARCERATED but it doesn't have to stop there
A
Man who needs no introduction (snippet)
Who can get into a school without filling out an application?
Who can get a job without going on an interview?
Who can answer the question before the question is asked?
Who knows the end of the book without reading the beginning?
Who can still love without being accepted?
Who can do the math without plotting it on a graph?
Who can break it down to a science without combining the chemistry?
Who can write a letter and know ahead what the correspondence will read?
Who knows who committed the crime before the investigation?
Who can solve the problem without intervening?
Who can be rejected and still help and respect you?
The same Man who was conceived by a mother who was a virgin.
The same Man who died and was resurrected from the grave...
Angel
in Disguise (snippet)
Who says that an angel has got to be perfect?
Lucifer wasn’t and he fell
Even though he rocked the bells
He was no God as you can tell
Angel-ism is earned not honorary
Friendship is honored due to the person you are
Angels are cherished due to what you’ve gone through to get through to
be the star you are
You are my kite that doesn’t allow me to lose flight
You are my slam that completes my dunk due to my height
You are the pen that annotates my papers
You fly through the celestial bodies like the melodies of your silence
Blessing me with your love, your kindness, and your smile
I haven’t had that affect in a while
But I rest assured that all I have to do is dial
Angels must rise to the position
It’s not an automatic transition
You’re not that white robed figure of human form in fine art
But you do have its heart and that’s where it starts...
That’s
What's Up
It's time to declare your major
to look back is historical
to dissect is anatomical
to bond is chemical
reflexes are mechanical
finances are economical
to fail would be hysterical
illustrations are emblematical
and then there was light is electrical
not to change when necessary is critical
disease is pathological
stars are astronomical
but must I be technical
when my passion makes me fanatical
the Word is theological
but life is biblical awaiting a radical change
otherwise known as a miracle
and that’s what’s up.
Enough
is Enough
What to do when you live in a world of arrogance?
And people have no confidence in what they can’t see - His presence.
Must have evidence, to believe in His providence.
When He sacrificed and took prevalence in our time of need.
It's an experience that requires patience.
Ultimately, leading to persistence.
But you look at the circumstance and lack of finance,
Because of your ignorance.
Regardless He maintains His tolerance.
A Man who's benevolence is much greater
Nothing
to do with fate… (snippet)
Luck,
a word often used to wish you the best
I don’t know about you, but that term doesn’t allow me to rest
I prefer, be Blessed, not by man but by God through man
Because when luck fails you, what’s left?
No money, no food, no job, no shelter, no success
And when it doesn’t go your way, it was bad luck you say?
Be blessed tells you it wasn’t for you anyway.
Luck leaves you asking,
How did I end up in this mess?
You begin to gravitate to negative views
You allow people to validate you
You lose weight because of your depressed state
You have to humiliate yourself because you can’t compensate for what you
owe
And if you don’t, you will become someone else’s bate and you just
may end up in a floating crate.
Blaming Satan for what you ate now you’re starving and with luck, you
think that’s appropriate...
You
Are Welcome (snippet)
At a ball game if you have a ticket
You Are Welcome
At school, if your name is on the roster
You Are Welcome
When you steal to show the “in” crowd that you can be down
You Are Welcome
At a wedding if you got an invitation
You Are Welcome
At a party if you can dance
You Are Welcome
When you say thank you
You Are sometimes Welcome
When you ring your neighbor’s bell unannounced
You Are not always Welcome
But if you "enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise"
You Are Welcome
If you know that "He is your shelter in the time of storm"
You Are Welcome
If you know that "everything that has breath should praise the Lord"
You Are Welcome
If you know that "weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning"
You Are Welcome...
Why
Don't You?
You are looking for guidance in one section
But going in the wrong direction
You want protection. How?
When you are leading to an injection
that will give you an infection
because you reject the Divine Connection.
You can't take the rejection
Even when it's for your own correction
Why don't you believe in His Resurrection?
You'll
See
I look into His eyes
And bow boldly before His thrown.
If I had just one touch
I think I'd be mesmerized.
But must not forget that He died
And never a man that ever lied.
I worship the realm that He resides in
With hopes of a second life being His next of kin.
What will I see?
I have to press, He relieves my stress
Sends those to bless throughout my test.
It will definitely be a bigger picture
Because He holds my future.
Without Him my life would be extremely dim
I want to remain right in His sight
But I must continue not to believe the hype.
I pray I make it,
Because what a road there is to destiny
But He says,
"Stay focused on Me and You'll See."
