Song on loop
Gods1son Mar 2019
Have you ever had to linger a bit
To hear your favorite line from a song
While being played on the radio
Later to have that line stuck in your head all day
You try hard to forget it but it wouldn't fade
Just like the memory of someone you love even after you've parted ways.

Greed
Gods1son Mar 2019
Greediness is evil
The uncontrolled love of money is its roots
Regrets and shame are the fruits

At first, it appears to soothe
Sitting on that which belongs to many
But the end of it is pain.

Dominos
Gods1son Mar 2019
One time,
I almost wrote that
If one of us falls,
We all fall
Very much like dominos

But I rearranged my thoughts
If one of us fall,
We ought to provide support
Protect one another's back
At least, help them fall forward

Tree moves
Gods1son Mar 2019
I love how trees
Yield with ease
And sway their arms,
dancing to the
Sweet melody from
The breeze

A flower
Gods1son Mar 2019
You are a flower
Far too beautiful for me to pluck
I will come to your site everyday
Just to adore your sight
I'll leave you in your natural habitat
I cherish you
But I won't be selfish
I'll leave you for others to behold also
Utmostly, I want what's best for you
When you cherish something, don't destroy it in an attempt to make it yours!

God all the way
Gods1son Mar 2019
Like an Actor in a movie scene
I know I'm on this stage called life
To act a story which was fore written
Way long before I was introduced on the scene

Trials and tribulations
Tests and persecutions
Trying times
Challenging periods
They are all part of the stage settings

They only last for a season
For faith workout reasons
Besides, they say whatever doesn't **** you
Helps build your muscle
Makes you a better person
Even if it doesn't physically appear to

Countless times, life's storms has blown
But my roots are deeply rooted in Him,
Way too firm to be uprooted
As long as the movie director sits on His throne
That's my guarantee that I won't drown in any phase
My total reliance on Him leaves me unfazed

I must admit, a few times I've been broken
But He never fails to come to my rescue
He rearranges my broken pieces like a puzzle
He fixes me so good, it often leaves my jaw dropping
In between my cracks, He makes flowers blossom
Please, isn't He awesome!

But I won't even lie
Sometimes, I still find myself doubting
Like it was just luck or something
But I know that's the flesh in me talking
Where would I have been without His mercies
I've walked on dry land in life's Red Sea

My God has proved Himself in many cases
At my lowest point, He raised me
To Him goes all my praises
Through it all,
I've learnt the race is not to the swiftest
And this movie of my life that
He's producing is definitely the dopest.

Self love
Gods1son Mar 2019
Look in the mirror
And choose to love what you see
I call it self love
Not *******
But self appreciation

It's the best version of love
You owe it to yourself
It's a debt no one can pay for you
You are beautiful and amazing,
Just the way you are
Don't let voices tell you otherwise

Own yourself and be proud about it
You are the most valuable property you can ever own
Don't let voices make you their own
Love you first
And extend the love to someone else
Mar 2019 · 298
Unique
Gods1son Mar 2019
There is a reason why
The word "Unique" starts with You
It could have been "Them-nique"
But we need You to be unique!
Mar 2019 · 137
Born to be great
Gods1son Mar 2019
YOU were once in the land of the unborn
You WERE then selected for the earth
You were BORN with a mission in ur hands,
An assignment TO be fulfilled by you
Fully equipped  to BE all you were sent for
You were born to be GREAT
Mar 2019 · 168
Take my hand
Gods1son Mar 2019
Here's my hand
Hold it tight
As we walk this path
It's a journey of love

It's a winding road
There are parts we can't yet see
Some nights would be cold
But we will walk it still

Along this path
Some beasts will appear
To set us apart
But let go not this hand

We'll make every moment count
No dreams of a promise land
'cause that's the land we're standing on
Remember no matter what,
Let go not this hand.
Mar 2019 · 127
Starts from one
Gods1son Mar 2019
It takes one fire source
To burn a house down
A change by one person
Could turn a town around

Just like how fire spreads
From one point to another
A positive change from one
Could influence another
And
Another...
Mar 2019 · 118
More than lucky
Gods1son Mar 2019
I consider myself more than lucky
For having you
You are a full package of blessing.
What nutrients, sunlight and water is to a plant, that's what/who you are to me.
Mar 2019 · 178
Work of art
Gods1son Mar 2019
If Pablo Picasso or Leonardo Da Vinci's
works of art are so great,
How about God's work of art;
which YOU are.
Mar 2019 · 269
Mediocrity
Gods1son Mar 2019
Mediocrity is a comfortable prison
With gates not of metal but complacency
Where the prisoner is also the guard
And the keys to escape are in his/her pocket
But (S)he will rather stay
Feb 2019 · 342
Addiction?
Gods1son Feb 2019
Is there such a thing as
Addiction to Likes?
Like refreshing that page multiple times
Just to get that "hit of like" like crack

What about constantly watching the notifications
Or dishing out likes just to get some in return
It does have an effect that makes people crave for more
Feb 2019 · 146
Kids
Gods1son Feb 2019
Kids are adorable
They have a heart of gold
They breathe out love
Until they are taught not to be so
Until they witness or experience cruelty
Until they see grown-ups act savagely
We teach them in words of mouth to be good
But kids will emulate what they see
Eventually, they are baptized in the mean society
Feb 2019 · 316
Societal cages
Gods1son Feb 2019
Like a bird stuck in a cage
with an open door
Some are held in a box
Due to perceived distorted self-image

There are other boxes
created by the society
Boxes of race, age, class, gender (etc)
Preventing individuals from living to their full potentials

Different labels or tags devised
To shackle people
from being their very best
A pit not to fall into
Feb 2019 · 143
Change
Gods1son Feb 2019
What is it about change
That we often find hard to accept
Even if the old one was full of defects
Or if the new one is the old rearranged
We still somehow get thrown off
But come what may,
Humans will always adapt!
Feb 2019 · 462
Mother Nature
Gods1son Feb 2019
Gone are the days
When Mother Nature was a close neighbor
And a loved one
But we've forced her out to build roads, rails, buildings and whatnot

It makes me wonder...
Like, did we dominate to contaminate?
She meant no evil, can't we reciprocate?
Further and further, we've push her away

I remember
I used to look at her from my windows
And appreciate her beauty
Now, I have to take time off
To find her and hope that she's intact

We pollute her waters,
fully aware of the negative impacts
When we can easily choose to do right
But we'll fix it later, right?

We pollute the air
And fell the trees that make us breathe
In exchange for the medium of exchange; we call it money
I think it's quite a fair exchange right?

Polluting Mother Nature is like
Poisoning your own food before eating it
Who is going to face the heat?
Of course, you and your loved ones

What's an environment without
Trees spreading their arms
Butterflies spreading their wings
Birds singing their songs
Cool breeze saying hello
We need to protect our dear friend;
Mother nature
Feb 2019 · 358
Misinformation
Gods1son Feb 2019
If lack of information is a pain
Misinformation is at least twice the pain
Misinformation, often used by some
For their selfish gains
Feb 2019 · 275
My lane
Gods1son Feb 2019
Fast lane
Slippery road
Dangerous zone
Don't push me there

It's no one's race but mine
I'll stay in my lane
No competition
Only self fulfillment
Feb 2019 · 298
Count
Gods1son Feb 2019
One two three four five
Six seven eight nine; goes on
Counting my blessings
My first shot at haiku
Feb 2019 · 91
You
Gods1son Feb 2019
You
Each time I scroll through your pictures
saved on my phone
The love button in my heart gets clicked
You're the only channel I'll ever subscribe to
My mind is pleased thinking about you
My heart beats healthier when I remember you
There is certainly something unique about you
Feb 2019 · 110
Kiss in the rain
Gods1son Feb 2019
The night we kissed in the rain
It washed off all of my pain
I still remember that day up till this day
Like a mental replay
I think we should do it again
Feb 2019 · 113
Love in my being
Gods1son Feb 2019
Cut my heart open
All you'll see is love
Love in its purest form
In liquid and easy-flowing state

Love flows in my bloodstream
Nourishing every part of my being
Love is the air I breathe
The sound in every word I speak

Love is the power within
The radiance of my skin
Love is the seed
Planted in every fibre of my being
Feb 2019 · 84
Not know
Gods1son Feb 2019
Sometimes it is more peaceful
choosing to not know
Like choosing to not poke into
your spouse's phone

It's safer to not ask some questions
Or to not even bother about the answer
Like why didn't God lock Satan up
in heaven or hell instead of sending
him to the Earth?
Feb 2019 · 210
Reach for the stars
Gods1son Feb 2019
You might have to take the stairs to the sky
To pluck the star(s) you desire
Instead of waiting for it to fall,
Head up and you can pick and choose.
Feb 2019 · 223
Saved
Gods1son Feb 2019
I was fully immersed in sin
Soiled up and filthy
But His loving hands reached out to me
And saved me from the pit

Soaked in His liquid love
Soap-washed by His grace
I emerged squeaky clean
Clothed in His truth

I received a new reality
Reborn a new being
A life of victory
Living by faith, not by what's seen
Feb 2019 · 84
Untitled
Gods1son Feb 2019
I thought you'll be the stars
To make my night sky glow
Little did I know
You would reinjure my healed scars
Feb 2019 · 207
Attitude
Gods1son Feb 2019
My skin is beautiful
But above that,
I ensure to wear a more beautiful attitude
It is no news that,
Attitude impacts altitude

The energy I exude is my responsibility
Watching it closely becomes a necessity
The goal is to display positivity
The emotions I emit
Is exactly what surrounds me
Feb 2019 · 130
Best life
Gods1son Feb 2019
It's all about being my very best
It has nothing to do with the rest
Failure to me isn't losing
It depends on how it is perceived
I allow the pains and the hurt fall through
But I keep the lessons learned in the sieve

Giving up is not an acceptable option
But perseverance coupled with passion
With eyes looking on the bright side of things.
Feb 2019 · 135
Unity
Gods1son Feb 2019
No one should go through unusual rigor
Or ever have to feel unfavored
Just because of their skin color

We all should be one
If one of us wins,
We all should feel like we won

We should celebrate with one another
Instead of trying to push down others
Without love and oneness,
there will be no order!
Feb 2019 · 123
Criticism
Gods1son Feb 2019
Hit me with constructive criticism
I'm aware feedback is a gift
I'm eager to unwrap it
I'm ready to face the heat
The positive, the negative
Deliver it raw
Don't sugarcoat it
It will be received in good spirit
Feb 2019 · 119
Hugs
Gods1son Feb 2019
I made her a home
Not only in my heart but also in my arms
A place she can leap into when she's happy
A place for comfort when she's down

When it's cold out,
room temperature is guaranteed in here
When she's stressed out,
relaxation is promised in here

Make these arms your comfort zone!
Feb 2019 · 206
Salvation
Gods1son Feb 2019
The old me is gone!
When I accepted Your gift,
the new me was born
With a different kind of life
Made in the likeness of the Most High
The gift is called salvation
Redemption
Liberation from death
Spirits mingled into oneness
Ticket to eternal life.
Feb 2019 · 86
Rage
Gods1son Feb 2019
Life's storms would rage
Some situations would roar
But those who put their trust in the Lord
They shall not fail

They might go through some pains
Like challenges and tribulations
But before them, a way would pave
And their mouths will exude songs of jubilation
Feb 2019 · 312
Never give it up
Gods1son Feb 2019
Sometimes it gets really rough
Before things turn around
The key is never to give it up
Soon you'll make a victory sound

Never stop believing
Even when believing is tough
Never stop putting in work
Even when it looks like it's not working

The victory season is fast approaching!
Feb 2019 · 417
FEAR / RAEF
Gods1son Feb 2019
Fear wants you to
Forego Everything And Run
But you can reverse fear;
Resist And Experience Fulfillment
Feb 2019 · 119
Greener grass
Gods1son Feb 2019
The grass always seem greener on the other side
Almost losing sight of this side
Forgetting that it wasn't as green as this previously
And this is also greener if observed from another side

I'm confident that one day
The brown leaves will disappear
And the grassless area will sprout again
Above all
The key is to be grateful even before this day
Feb 2019 · 92
Greatness
Gods1son Feb 2019
Greatness is born
At the birth of a new child
Domiciling on his/her inside
Waiting to be revealed to the world outside

As a light bursting out of darkness
Solution to the cries of many

Like Rome, greatness wouldn't appear in a day
Brick by brick, it must be laid
Hardwork, discipline, commitment, faith
Originality, perseverance, sacrifices
The recipes to be great
Feb 2019 · 156
Once lost
Gods1son Feb 2019
I once felt lost in this world
Like a raindrop in an ocean
For long I had the notion
That life in general was a lost cause

But one day I realized
I'm the apple of my Father's eyes
Purchased with the Holiest price
Worthiness and hope restored in my heart

I'm drenched in His love
My vision flooded with His light
Fully aware that this life is not mine
Mission I'm on, to someday return home
Feb 2019 · 233
Trust
Gods1son Feb 2019
It hurts
When the one(s) you deeply trust
****** a spear in your heart
Leaving your tears gushing
Like a broken pipe
Your trust leaking through
Makes everyone look fugazi (phony)
Difficult to tell who is true
But
Ruling everyone untrustworthy
would also be untrue
Right?
Feb 2019 · 96
Greatness
Gods1son Feb 2019
When I am around people
My heart and soul radiate with
the awareness that
I'm in the presence of greatness.

Maybe greatness unfound or
greatness underdeveloped
But the potential or existence
of greatness nevertheless

You never know who will go on to do good
Or even great things
Or become the next great influencer
So treat everyone like they are that person.
This is a paragraph I lifted from a book I'm reading called GRIT
Feb 2019 · 305
Love seeds
Gods1son Feb 2019
Those that sow the seeds of love
Enjoy its fruits
More abundantly

Some just want to pluck the fruits
Without sowing
Forgetting that to love is actually work
It takes efforts and sacrifices

Christ loves us, He laid His life
Our parents do, they gave their resources
To love is to be selfless
Not all seeds germinate, sow it regardless
Feb 2019 · 215
Why is it...
Gods1son Feb 2019
Easier said than done
Easier to forget rights than wrongs
Easier to recieve than give
Easier to doubt than believe

Easier to give up than stand tall
Easier to despise than show love
Easier to imitate than be true to self
Easier to complain than be grateful

Documentary
Gods1son Feb 2019
Recently saw a documentary
Of neighbourhoods beyond words

Gangbanging
Bullets flying
People falling
Blood spilling
Families mourning

Drugs circulating
Kids dealing
Cops bursting
Addicts overdosing
People dying

People getting robbed
People getting *****
Mass incarceration
Families with no fathers
Drug dealers are kids role models

Lack of education
Lack of opportunities
Lack of amenities
Crime is almost a norm
They definitely need intervention

Experienced any of the two?
Gods1son Feb 2019
I really love you
I lied when I said
I never cared about you

I had no idea what I was saying
You mean the world to me
When I made the statement that
You should get away from me
I didn't know what I was thinking

This is the honest truth
I'm opening my heart to you
I strongly hope you believe me

Moment
Gods1son Feb 2019
I guess the only thing guaranteed
Is this moment
It only makes sense to protect it
from its opponents

It's good to plan for the future
But it shouldn't rob the present
It's imperative to learn from the past
But regrets mustn't steal from the now

The moment is a gift
Unwrap it with mindfulness
Be present fully in it
Embrace it to its fullness

Connection
Gods1son Feb 2019
A few years ago
I walked with 4 of my classmates
For about 10 minutes
From school to our various homes
The only words we said were...
"See you tomorrow"
Throughout the walk
We were all looking down on our phones
That was when I knew we need help
When the only connection that means a lot to us
is our mobile network connection
