Money
Gods1son Sep 2019
What is it about money
that turns best buddies into worst enemies,
turns brothers into one another's hater (or even killer)
So many chase money while losing family
It makes me question if money truly brings happiness?
I've heard of very wealthy people who
committed suicide
I've seen poor people living happily
Surely there is more to life than money
Still on the subject of money,
Is life incomplete without it?
Is life complete with a lot of it?

No title
Gods1son Oct 2018
Four days, no contact
No calls, no messages
I'm doubting if this love is still intact
Or is it another impact

We used to talk for hours
Now, love has gone sour
Your voice used to be my source of power
Now, It's vanished like a burnt flower.

Tunnel
Gods1son Feb 2020
Even in the challenging times of life
There's usually something to be grateful for
And gratitude opens closed doors
It's also a matter of one's focus –
Is it on a seemingly big problem or
an omnipotent God?

Why wait for the light at the end
of the tunnel, when the one in
the tunnel has great light on the inside.
Shine bright, that's what you've been
called to do.

Tug of war
Gods1son Dec 2018
Sometimes, I find my quiet spot within the crowd
'cause when I'm by myself, the silence is too loud
Voices in my head like a shattering glass wall
Usually hard to choose whose side to be on

When good and bad thoughts are engaged in a war
A war on who is going to have my attention
Each voice yelling, trying to pull me in like suction
Each wanting me to pledge my allegiance

I can't deny the build up of tension
On every nerve, muscle and vein
I'm well aware that one feels good for a moment
But the end of it is vain

Denying those bad voices feels like a pain
Especially when I think about the immediate gain
Multiple drivers trying to drive the same car at the same time
A situation I call, tug of war of the mind
115 · Apr 2020
Monsters
Gods1son Apr 2020
I hate to think of humans as
monsters, killers, murderers, cannibals
But for generations,
we've been taking one another's lives
all in the name of power, greed & jealousy
Rest in peace to legends like 2pac, Nipsey
And to all those whose lives were taken by
fellow human beings
We've got to do better as people
We need to do away with evil
We need to fill our hearts with love
And I know that true love only comes from God.

Yea, I'm saying that we need God.
115 · Mar 2019
Complete package
Gods1son Mar 2019
His heart is a factory manufacturing love
His mind produces positive thoughts
His eyes is a pool of truth
His ears are always listening
His mouth speaks no guile
His legs lead not astray
The type of man with a single bae
Do we still have such in this day and age?
115 · Feb 2019
To love
Gods1son Feb 2019
To love, is what we are born with
To hate is what we are somehow taught to do
Isn't it amazing how babies cry at the cry of another baby
Regardless of race or gender
(Do they even notice a difference)

Our differences is what we are taught to observe
Mechanisms set up to set us apart
Color, religion, class, gender
Caging ourselves into unnecessary boxes

The reality is...
The love we were born with never dies
It's somewhere hidden in our hearts
We have only chosen to ignore it
But deep down, we are all yearning for it
Maybe it's time we let love dominate!
115 · Dec 2019
Prophecy
Gods1son Dec 2019
I have called you into a glorious life
I've put My glory all over you & inside you
Don't be deceived that the glory is lost
Because, forever, I have made it yours
Keep this always in your consciousness
Approach life with a mindset of blessedness
The glory would not obstruct challenges
But it guarantees victory over the obstacles
Go and produce results with what I've
deposited inside you. Go!
114 · Aug 2019
Lost
Gods1son Aug 2019
We live in a time where
we trust the voice of the GPS
more than the voice of God.
Maybe a lot of us don't even know
what God sounds like.

A generation that cherishes
internet connection over
divine connection.
The hunger for power, money & fame
has taken over our love/reverence for God.

I hope we'll find our way back to our root.

Kindness
Gods1son Mar 2020
Pay back meanness
with kindness
and let the person's
conscience
do the
judgement.


(You'll be
happy
you did.)

Value
Gods1son Apr 2019
Of higher importance than
glowing and shining
Is actually possessing value

Diamond shines,
Some glass do as well
Their worth though,
you wouldn't compare

However, that doesn't mean
cheap is useless
The dollar stores are
multi-million dollars businesses

That which looks irrelevant
would have its niche of relevance
Bring out the value in it
113 · May 2019
Grateful
Gods1son May 2019
Gratitude is a door opener
Ungratefulness dims the eyes
Giving thanks brings helping hands
Appreciation paves the way for solutions
A grateful heart is well positioned to
receive even more.

Happily ever after
Gods1son Mar 2019
She was a kind woman
He was the exact opposite
An angel in a human flesh, she was
But he was a wolf in a sheep's skin
She would go out of her way to help people
But he always took advantage of people
She never tried to change him
She just loved him unconditionally
Her nature was a mirror to his cruelty
He couldn't help but cherish her modesty
One night, he was bathed in tears
After realizing what **** of a person he was
That moment was the genesis of his redemption
He became a changed man
And the love between them blossomed even more
In less than a year after,
He was bold enough to put the ring on it
And they lived happily ever after!
I tweaked the ending from my previous post. I love to end on a good note

Defense
Gods1son Mar 2020
Chaos and uncertainties in the world
It's time to sharpen my sword the more
I mean spending more time in the Word
Studying & meditating on the Scriptures
To stand strong & firm from being tossed
by all the news and happenings around
To saturate my mind with peace that
comes from above
It's time to be immersed in the Word.
113 · Feb 2019
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
113 · Feb 2019
Positive vibes
Gods1son Feb 2019
It's a conscious decision I made
not to imprison myself
In the things beyond my control
Negative emotions will be itching to show
But I allow positive feelings overthrow

When things or people try to litter my day
I literally point them to the trash bin
I guess it's okay to be angry
But more importantly not to sin
Words carry energy, so I censor what I say

Ever since I found a driver in destiny
That's the only vehicle I've been riding in
I ensure comparison never rides with me
'cause jealousy is nothing but an enemy
My own life and path, I want to gain mastery

I am unique and there can never be another me
Losing that uniqueness leads to misery
I'll rather work on being a better me
Persevere
Live life with tenacity

My wiper is always working
Just to keep my visions clear
Like-minded people
Are the only ones I keep near
Regardless where I face, I'm always forward-looking

No matter what comes my way
I won't fold
Even the world's best soccer player
Once missed a goal
Thinking of quitting, that's a NO!
113 · Nov 2019
Take the wheel!
Gods1son Nov 2019
Why do I spend so much time worrying
such that I do not hear that You're talking
I'm aware You hold me dear to Your heart
But it's like I'm closer to this pain than I am to You
I know I ought to regard every other thing a liar
& believe Your Word alone to be true
Maybe my faith is truly as small as a mustard seed
and my doubts as big as a mountain
Maybe I'm living inside my head instead
of living in Your Word
Maybe I'm relying on my own strength
instead of committing it all to You
I know of a fact that the blame is not Yours
But here's my hand, help me Lord!

Hard to get
Gods1son Jan 2019
She was playing hard to get
But really, we were creating memories
Too sweet to forget

In my heart, I placed a bet
That we would be together like a set
Knit in and out like threads in a net

And yes! I won the bet
Two hearts are mine
As much as they are hers.
113 · Mar 2019
How people are
Gods1son Mar 2019
Isn't it weird that the good you do
are written by them with a pencil
But when you commit an error,
they are quick to write that with a
permanent marker
113 · Jan 2020
Shortcoming
Gods1son Jan 2020
Love is the way has become a cliché
But if we can't love others as ourself,
Then we don't truly know what love is
And that will continue to be our shortcoming.

A world lacking in kindness
is a world that easily creates chaos
The greedier the people,
the lesser their regard for humanity.
113 · Oct 2018
In your eyes
Gods1son Oct 2018
I see a peaceful world in your eyes
No lies
I'm so enticed
What I see looks like paradise
I wanna look in those eyes everyday
I will do whatever it takes
Just to make you mine!

When the fathers are gone
Gods1son Jul 2019
Have you seen the products of a broken family?
It's not unusual to see a major or subtle effects on the kids
Like in the US, where a lot of fathers are locked in the penitentiary
The kids make their way to the streets,
Getting their first charge before age of seventeen
Become a father/mother before nineteen

When the fathers are gone,
the home become unstable
The mothers work like crazy
The kids carry the most burden
Dear fathers, at all cost
Ensure to stand by your family.
112 · Sep 2018
Just go
Gods1son Sep 2018
I'm in total control of my emotions
You can't rub your feelings on me like a lotion
You can't even stop here, it's not a station
So now, let me see you in motion

I thought you were cool
Now I see clearly that you are such a crook
The gentle look is just a cloak
Who would believe you are a good looking nuke
112 · Apr 2019
Freedom
Gods1son Apr 2019
Letting go isn't always easy
Cutting strings however brings freedom (sometimes)
Breaking free from people or things often leads to gaining self
If it hurts more than it pleases,
Let it out like a heavy sneeze,
It is usually done with closed eyes
After its release comes relief
What is that thing causing grief,
Maybe it is time for its release.
112 · Nov 2018
In love
Gods1son Nov 2018
Your eyeballs are shaped like a heart
I can see love in your eyes
I can feel the touch of your words
As they flow out of your heart

They say... Love is blind
Maybe that's not very true after all
We can both see our flaws
We iron them out and leave them behind

Love is not just something we feel
It's a decision we have made
Against all odds, we will keep our love tank filled
Maybe that's why I am not falling in love with you
Rather, I am rising in love with you!
111 · Dec 2019
Christmas
Gods1son Dec 2019
The reason for the season is not Santa
Lights, trees & gifts are beautiful things
But beyond those is something far better...
Christmas marks the birthday of the King

The King that washed off all our sins
Turned us from darkness into Holy beings
Set us free and gave to us life eternal
Brought us into union with our Father

The best gift to give is the Gospel
The best gift to receive is salvation
Jesus was born to save God's people
And He did, this is good news...
Share it as you enjoy your celebrations.
111 · Nov 2018
God
Gods1son Nov 2018
God
The Lord is my root
His word... my truth
His praises... my flute
His thoughts... my muse
His promises... my contemplation
His joy... my strength
His yard... my refuge
His supply... my source
His hand... my shield
His love... my everything!

No competition
Gods1son Apr 2019
No competition
Self-fulfillment is the goal
Running my race with dedication
My skills, I strive to hone
I came out of Mama's womb alone
My life's my own
My path, I'll thread
I'll outdo my previous best
I'll try not to fret
The only competition is with myself.

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
110 · Aug 2018
Choices
Gods1son Aug 2018
Life is full of choices
Everyday, we make a lot of it
From the food we eat
To the time we sleep

Choice to stand on our feet
Or accept defeat
Choice to be trampled on
Or to fight head-on

Choice to give up on our dreams
Or look inside and see the beams
Choice to be a giver
Or always the receiver

Be aware of the clash
Heart and head often bash
Good choices make a life
The opposite mars a life
110 · Dec 2019
Christmas
Gods1son Dec 2019
How do you celebrate my birthday
Without mentioning my name
I wonder if this is how Jesus feels.
Instead of spreading My message
Majority are engrossed in shopping deals
True celebration is the celebration of salvation
We (humans) 're the reason for the season
The reason for which Jesus left His throne,
Was born, went through pain, died, arose
(And in the process)
Paid for our sins, set us free,
delivered to us a new life,
made us One with Himself & with the Father
This is what Christmas is.
The celebration of freedom from sin
& ushering of divinity into humanity.
110 · May 2019
Silence / Balance
Gods1son May 2019
Silence sometimes speaks volume
Politicians have proved that
Speech can be greatly deceiving

Silence can be very harmful
Couples who have chosen not to speak
will easily agree to that

I think it's fair to say that
Most things in life requires balance
Not too far to the left, neither to the right.
110 · Nov 2019
Simple
Gods1son Nov 2019
The cares of this world has
driven so many into the abyss
Buy this, buy that!
A newer version of _ is out
You know you can finance it
$0 down payment, 0% interest rate
That's bills piling on bills
Pressure to take on double shifts
or maybe multiple overtime
causing the mind to race and go wild
To live a simple life is to be free
Unattached to these material things that
come like a storm & fade out just as fast
With or without these things,
life is still beautiful,
it's a function of how you see.
110 · May 2019
Master plan
Gods1son May 2019
If we were to see the master plan of our lives
Maybe we'll learn to live one day at a time
Maybe we'll put an end to all the strife
Maybe we'll close our eyes to sleep more at night
Maybe we'll spend more time with family and friends
Maybe we'll stop USING one another as means to an end

Or maybe the reverse would be the case
Maybe it'll cause ache way before its time
Maybe we'll try to avoid the mistakes that should help us grow
Maybe it's better to not know
Maybe or maybe not, who really knows!
110 · Mar 2020
Feeling blessed
Gods1son Mar 2020
There're certain blessings that we enjoy daily
And often times, we take them for granted
Isn't it a blessing —
To breathe in natural air without any worry
To see trees, buildings, movies and be able to read this
To hear the different sounds of life
To put food down the belly with no assistance
To leave the house and return home safely
These things clearly sound simple
But many around the world pray for one or more of these.
109 · Mar 2019
Fall to rise
Gods1son Mar 2019
The rain is not afraid to fall
Precipitation
Because it will always go back up
Evaporation
Never stay down when you fall
Motivation
You are fashioned for the top
Destination
Anything/Anyone that says otherwise
Limitation
Listen carefully to your heart
Intuition
109 · Mar 2019
Joy
Gods1son Mar 2019
Joy
Joy like a river in my soul
It's filled up every hole
Makes me feel so whole
Riding in joy like a boat
It's a wonderful feeling oh oh oh
109 · Jun 2019
Different but the same
Gods1son Jun 2019
It honestly makes no sense
For someone to think that
they are superior to others or
think some others are inferior
in the name of the things
they didn't choose
in the first place

Was anyone ever presented
with a checklist to determine
their skin color, gender, height,
place of birth or any of those
before their birth?

Attempting to prove superiority
is a sign of critically low self-esteem
We are all humans
regardless our physical, spiritual or
cultural differences
This is my message to the world.
109 · Mar 2019
I come in peace
Gods1son Mar 2019
That you come in peace
Doesn't mean they wouldn't want to rip you into pieces
Regardless, love always wins
Be quick to forgive their sins
Protect your inner peace by every means
109 · Mar 2019
Words
Gods1son Mar 2019
Why do I need a sword
When I can wield my words
Words are potent weaponry
saved in the mind like a revolver
fired through the mouth or by a pen
Capable of being used for defense
Even though it's better used
as a means to positive ends.
109 · Jan 2019
Nightmare
Gods1son Jan 2019
His worst nightmare holds the keys
To his dreams,
Will he be brave to get em?

----------------

He conquered his worst nightmare
To retrieve the keys
To his dreams!
108 · Nov 2019
Robots
Gods1son Nov 2019
I hope all these smart things
would not eventually turn us
into unsmart beings.

As these tools seem to be of great help,
Are we thus challenging our brains less?

As these smart tools save us time,
Are we productively investing
the saved minutes?

A few questions (out of many) to ponder!
108 · Mar 2019
Head-to-Head
Gods1son Mar 2019
When we rob heads,
It is not of fight as rams do
But us merging our worlds
And making it one

Just in a short time,
Two lips will be a plug and a socket
Exchanging currents of power
Powering a blissful atmosphere

My favorite place to be
Skin attached to skin
The moment is tranquil and serene
We should just stay and never leave.
108 · Jul 2019
Vexed
Gods1son Jul 2019
No matter how tough your skin is,
When people trample on your nerves
Sometimes you'll get angry or upset
It's blood that flows through those veins
Which makes it totally fine to be ******
But you need to fix into your mouth a sieve
Because you can't afford to speak amiss
An unintended irrational speech
discharged cannot be easily retrieved
Even if agitated within like a boiling water
It's safer to stay calm on the surface
like an undisturbed sea
That's one way to safeguard your peace!
108 · Jan 2019
Blame game
Gods1son Jan 2019
This blame game is no fun
Instead of putting an end to it,
We take turns
Our precious flower getting replaced by thorns
Well, the same sun that tans also burns
I suggest we drop attitudes that break bonds
I will start first
I take the blame 'cause it is you that I want!
107 · May 2019
Whose will?
Gods1son May 2019
I can't rely on my own strength
My abilities come totally from
The One who gives me my breathe
Of course, faith without work is dead
But it won't be by my power nor might
but His instead

I had relied on my own wisdom before
Into several pieces, I was utterly torn
Tired and worn
Thereafter into His will for me, I turned
That doesn't mean absence of storms
But even in the midst of it,
His peace keeps me fastened.
107 · Feb 2019
Love letter
Gods1son Feb 2019
I've got a lot in my heart to write to you
But I'll probably need an ocean of ink
And a paper as wide as the skies
I would write for days without a blink

That's why I employ the ink of actions
To engrave my love on the tablet of your heart
You showed me the beauty in the art of loving
That's when I knew love couldn't be blind

Your thoughts saturate my mind
And it gives me peace of mind
If I was to write you a love letter
All of these would just be a line
107 · Sep 2018
Living
Gods1son Sep 2018
What does it mean to be truly living
Is it just by merely breathing
There should be more to it than just surviving

There must be a purpose to this life
Every creature must have a reason for its creation
There ought to be a question to which I'm a solution
My first question gotta be to find THE question

No question, no answer
No answer, no success
No success, no fulfillment
No fulfillment, no living!
107 · Aug 2018
Question for you
Gods1son Aug 2018
Do you know me
Or it's just what I showed you?
