Bad behavior(s) doesn't imply a bad person
Don't judge the fruit without finding the root cause
Because every child is born innately good
Life experiences shape and mold people
Walk a mile in another person's shoes
Listen to what they've been through
An unhealthy home can leave a dent on a
person for life if not remolded
Most bad acts are aftertaste of bad upbringing
Instead of condemning, let's show empathy
People deserve a second chance multiple times
If it took years to be crooked, then,
with love and patience,
any human can be remolded.

A winner does get beaten
But he doesn't succumb to defeat
With every punch that lands on him,
He feels the pain and he learns from it
He avoids being hit by the same error
And if he happens to get hit again,
he hurts, recovers and gets back at it again
Life may knock him down many times
But he chooses to bounce back each time
It does occur to him to give it all up but
He pushes on, strives with blood, sweat and tears
Until his set goals are achieved and/or exceeded
Only that most never see his struggling phase(s) and
they'll think & say it all happened overnight.
How he wished that it was that easy.
Many people has set goals for the year. Remember that challenges will come to test if you are true to your goals. You will be hit, you will hurt but you have to recover and get back at it. This is the part that most people do not talk about.

Punch me in the face
But don't stab me in the back
Sit me down, let's sort it out
Don't go round town to spread it out
Gods1son Mar 2019
Respect is required
For two to walk hand in hand
Relationships disintegrate
As mutual respect fades away
Love cannot be seen
where respect is missing
Gods1son Oct 2019
Papa was an embodiment of love and wisdom
Any time spent with him left you refreshed and replenished
His smiles, his laughs, his words were that of a kind soul
Even though we're not happy to see you go
Your memories and impact on our lives can never be forgotten, rest on Grandpa.
Gods1son Dec 2018
The eyes can reveal
Emotions that the mouth
Cannot speak!

Self-will drive is the best automobile
Capable of riding on any terrain
It's engine is measured in willpower
Fueled by motivation
Serviced by dedication
Best ride through one's life journey

The wrongs that I can't right,
I write
Somehow, it makes the burden light
It helps shine light
In the times that feel like night
Gods1son Apr 2019
I hate guns
But a gun is not a killer,
It's humans that ****
Why is the heart of men
a home for cruelty
One of my favourite rappers
just got killed on the street
He was shot 6 times
in front of his place of biz
RIP Nipsey
Your death left me heartbroken
You are gone
but your music lives on!
Gods1son Oct 2019
It is quite far-fetched to impact the
whole world as a single person
But it's more practical to impact
the world of just one person,
And if that one person would
reach out to another individual,
Then the sphere of impact grows bigger

Only one soul positively affected can
revitalise an entire family
Then that one family can spread that
vitality to their own community,
which could cause a ripple effect on a city
Who knows maybe we can then collectively impact the world positively.
Gods1son Oct 2019
You never can tell the impact that
A simple act of kindness can cause
It could restore hope to a broken heart.
Think of a stone tossed into a pond
And the ripples that get formed
Just one tiny good deed can create
waves of kindness to spread around
You can create the ripple in your world today
Or if it spreads to you
don't let it end with you
Let it travel as far as you can ...

You rise...
I rise...
We all rise...not to fall
That which seems like a fall
Is meant to be a bounce
To take us to greater heights
Far above where we ever thought

I'm sorry Mr Isaac Newton...
I have come to overcome gravity
Airplanes are doing it, so it's not a new thing
I know it takes a lot of energy
I have it in me and I will be using it

Yes, I'm aware it could get stormy
But that won't be enough to stall me
What is turbulence
Compared to my unwavering persistence

Upward and forward is the movement
These wings are for soaring
Outer space is where I want to be touring
No stopping...Just soaring!
Gods1son Aug 2019
Awaken the dreamer child in you,
the one that doesn't
search for constraints first,
the one that believes
everything is possible
because that child can
somehow see the future,
the future which is only altered
by the doubtful mind
of the adult version of the child.
Gods1son Feb 2019
"Rise to the occasion"...
Whispered the still voice
Stop falling through the seemingly bottomless situation
Shut your ears to the wailing and distracting noise

Activate your powerful wings
Don't lose sight of your set heights
Respond to the bell of victory as it rings
Rise! Rise!! Rise!!!
Gods1son Oct 2018
Making moves to be great involves taking risk
Refusal to make moves is also a risk

Not giving up on your idea when people say it's dumb is a risk
Pushing the idea aside is also a risk

Falling in love is a risk
Not falling in love is also a risk

Choosing a life partner is a risk
Not choosing one is also a risk

The choice to be good to people is a risk
The choice not to care is also a risk

So, maybe risks are unavoidable
Therefore, take those that are profitable
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!
Gods1son Apr 2019
Recently, I saw on the news that
About a million species
of living organisms
are about to go extinct
due to human influence and activities

It turns out that the one specie
referred to as the "most advanced"
is the rotten apple
Supposedly creating beautiful things
Yet wreaking havoc
Gods1son Sep 2018
The road is rough
The times are tough
Feels like hands are tied down with a cuff
The path is stony
The people are phony

But, my consciousness is...
I will make it anyway
I will stay happy all the way
I will remain just, never go astray
Negative words, I won't say
Tomorrow will be a better day!
Gods1son Jan 2019
I bet you would solve
Rubik's cube in two seconds
My broken heart pieces,
You put together
Into a magnificent whole
With peace domiciling in my soul
Gods1son Nov 2018
I found a way to your heart
I walked in
Shut the door from behind
Changed the passcode
I forgot the code myself
So, I can't get out
You can't get any other person in
We will remain like this forever
'cause it's safe in here
It's well lit in here
There is peace in here
I'm happy in here
The weather is perfect in here
I just love it in here!
Gods1son Oct 2018
In an environment of genuine love and unity
That is where peace resides
Happiness never goes missing
There is a sense of security
There is clearness of purpose
Everyone experiences growth
Sound health is a bonus
Gods1son Jul 2019
The wisdom expressed by nature is inexhaustible
Yet so subtle that we overlook
Almost every element of nature
conveys an important message
Sage Mother Nature,
Teach us to listen to your words
Help us understand your worth
(I guess we will have to figure
that out on our own)
I imagine that you shake your head at us
Poor "smart" people, only if they knew
Please forgive us,
Show us not your rage
After all, we're no match for your age
Consider us your kids,
One of the stubborn ones indeed.
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.
Gods1son Mar 2021
Maybe someday, we'll realize that
we are all trees from the same garden
And our physical differences are the
acts of the Great Farmer
Because diversity adds an extra layer
of beauty to His creation.

We all ought to bask in the sun (Son)
of the Almighty
And bear fruits to the glory of the Father.
Though some of us might be out of character
or purpose, His love towards us remains
unaltered.
Gods1son Apr 2020
The store shelves are all empty,
where do I find a heart sanitizer?
A substance to cleanse my thoughts,
to wash off anything that isn't God's.

How do I rid my mind of all these doubts
Is there a disinfectant for the mind?
Having a ***** mind is worse than
swimming in a septic tank ( ew! )

They say germs and viruses will get you sick
But the state of a man's heart and mind
are treated negligently
Maybe it's time to focus our attention
where it ought to be –
The condition/quality of ourselves within.
Gods1son Nov 2019
How could I claim that I've laid down my life to You
When I'm still strongly holding on to it
My voice is the loudest in church on Sundays
But You only hear it once every 7 days
and even sometimes, I skip
****** words, frequently I speak
Is this really what Christianity means?
Social media has become my new bible
And I constantly meditate on what people think of me
Maybe that's why I try to please everyone
except The One who made me
Isn't that called misplaced priorities?
If this is your narrative as well,
This is to let you know that it's not too late
Merciful He is, wide open are His gates
Make a decision today, backed with actions
Remember Saul became the powerful Paul
He is always ready whenever you are!
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
Gods1son Sep 2018
To be honest with you,
I think I'm scared of this limelight
It feels so good,
Radiating this bright light
But, I'm so worried like,
Can I keep this light bright?

I'm caught between
Creating Plan B if I can't keep up
Or burning bridges so I won't give up!
Gods1son Mar 2019
For every scar I have on me
I had to tattoo on each a crown
They are testaments of the battles I've won
I wear them beautifully like a dress
They are my pride and not regrets
They constantly remind me that
Whatever thing causing pain now
will surely fade away
Not actual tattoos, just a metaphor
I'm not saying tattoos are bad or anything like that, I just don't have one
Gods1son Mar 2019
For every scar I have on me
I had to tattoo on each a crown
They are testaments of the battles I've won
I wear them beautifully like a dress
They are my pride and not of regrets

Just like stars in the night sky
These scars remind me to glow in the dark times
Challenges are disguised opportunities
If it doesn't **** you
It will give rise to a better you
The requirement is to stay positive

These scars are my motivation
They help me see beyond limitations
Turn winning into recreation
A constant reminder,
I did it before
I can do it again

The scars are uniquely numbered
Each telling a different story
Of how I rose from a place of sorry
To a throne of glory
I tagged my favorite scar
The biggest lie is impossibilities

Dream it, speak it, work for it
And it will be your realities
These scars teach me to reject negativity
And embrace positivity
They showed me how to breathe life on anything
Flip impossibilities to possibilities I am!
Gods1son Sep 2018
Did you see me on the scene?
I always wanted to be seen
No one happens to see
Now, I'm losing my drive
I can barely thrive

Just wanna prove a point
Keeps ending in nought
There was always a but
No one ever bought

I stopped trying to satisfy
God began to magnify
Yes, He did pacify
And now, I testify!
Gods1son Sep 2018
You must go to school
If I don't,
does it make me a fool
If I do,
does it make me a knowledge pool
I think school is like a tool
It's a waste if not put to use.
What's the point if we don't apply the knowledge from school
Gods1son Dec 2018
.............
Safely
Evading
Cones and rods of the eyes,
Running away from
Exposure until
Time runs out and it's
Show time!
Secrets could go hiding for a long time but someday, they will be revealed before all!

Gods1son Apr 2019
See
See...
I believe you haven't come this far
just to come this far
It's imperative that you see,
The road ahead is brighter than it seems
Do not let go of your dreams
When the terrain changes,
Don't quit, rather change your vehicle
Embrace the challenges,
Within it lies the breakthrough
It all depends on how you see what you see.
Gods1son Dec 2018
Look
but
Choose
what you
See!
Most things are two-sided

Self discovery is the best discovery
Self-will drive is the best automobile
Willpower is unquantifiable in horsepower
Peace of mind, the best place to be
The best resource is self
Gods1son May 2019
Self-doubt eating deep
Started with a single thought
Spreading fast like cancer
I need to kick 'em out like a bouncer

Those thoughts impeding my sleep
You know it will come to nought
So why be a dream chaser
Better not start than be a loser

Even if the mountain before me is steep
Whether I feel the strength within me or not
I refuse to be my own naysayer
No backing out 'cause I'm a born winner
Has anyone ever felt self-doubt at any point before?
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
Gods1son Aug 2020
Honestly—people can do a lot of good
things to/for you
But there are certain things nobody
can do for you
Top on the latter list are:
salvation and self-love.
1. Salvation is personal, they say (and it's true).
2. Nobody can love you for you —
you have to do it by yourself for yourself.
Gods1son Apr 2019
He chose self-love above all
(But surely, the love for God comes first)
Why would he choose himself first,
they questioned
Gently he answered...
If everyone decides to depart
He is all that he's got.
Gods1son Sep 2019
If you can't befriend yourself,
It would be hard to befriend another
Keep your spirit, soul and body joined together,
Let no human or anything put asunder
Here's a reminder, you're born a winner
Let no circumstance put your head under its shoulder
In the face of anything,
Do remember, you are way tougher.
Gods1son Aug 2020
It's okay for someone to make
you feel happier
But your happiness shouldn't be
hinged on them.
You need to master self-love. Whether someone loves you or not, it shouldn't tamper with the love you have for yourself.
Gods1son Aug 2019
Semi-living is...
Living with your talents untapped
Or allowing your dreams die a dream
It's living life with no empathy
Neglecting to count one's blessings,
But getting bitter due to jealousy
It's living a life with zero purpose,
wasting away like a severely leaking hose
To discover the art of fully living,
Search deep within your heart and soul.
Gods1son Jan 2019
Thanks to my chemistry teacher
For teaching me separation techniques
I apply the knowledge in my everyday life

Separation process is used to separate
Mixture of substances
Isolate what you want from the rest

A technique I use to sieve my thoughts
And filter information before taken inside of me
Decant unwanted emotions
From mixing with the love in my heart.
Sex
Gods1son Sep 2018
***
*** is way more than the physical activity
It is the intermingling of souls
Choose who you mix yours with!
Gods1son May 2020
Sometimes, shedding needs to occur
before gaining can take place.
Shedding of negative thoughts, toxic relationships, limiting attitudes —
Letting these go, creates room for our blessings to reside.
Gods1son Sep 2018
I saw sadness on a stranger's face
And I shed a few tears!
I looked at this person's face in a wheelchair and I could literally feel that she was in a bad mood and I noticed tears roll down my cheeks!
Gods1son Feb 2020
We as a society need to match onwards
leaving hate, greed and jealousy behind
Why spend billions preparing for wars
while millions of people are living in poverty
Segregation & division isn't the way forward
Let's hold one another's hands in harmony & sheer unity.
Gods1son Jun 2019
Why wait for light at the end of the tunnel
When the embodiment of light
is right in the tunnel

A lamp could be in darkness
if the switch is turned off

A lamp could succumb to darkness
when it runs out of battery

Inaction is a form of action
Be the ruler of your own environ
Gods1son Sep 2018
I don't understand all these shootings
Have we found a hobby in blood spilling
The news is almost all about killings
What has come over us
It almost seem like a curse
Putting an end to people's destiny
This is pure savagery
Sowing sadness in families
We need to put an end to this brutality
The guns are no longer used for defense
Say NO to gun violence!
So tired of hearing news of people getting shot to death. It's just insane
