The only thing we truly have is now
You remember the past
And plan for the future
Because you have the now.
So, be grateful for the now!
We mostly do not value NOW which is the only thing we really possess. I guess the NOW would also mean the LIFE

Should I hide all these scars?
But they remind me to shoot for the stars

Should I forget the pains?
But they remind me of the resulting gains

Should I forget the cries?
But they really opened my eyes

Do I really have to forget my past?
But they do remind me troubles don't last
When the pain of the past sorta makes you feel good!

Your journey becomes clearer the further you proceed.

Wanting to know the end before starting
is a reason to never start.

It's important to plan but reality will always
switch the script—for better or otherwise.

The key is to have a vision, plan, proceed,
learn and adjust accordingly.

I once had a flash of inspiration
To birth a new invention
Did a lot of investigation
Gathered a lot of information
Saw positive indications
Boosted my motivation
There was a team formation
People of same dedication
We had brainstorming sessions
Listed all the specifications
Began the implementation
Encountered a few obstructions
Made necessary modifications
Noticed a couple defections
Applied the proper corrections
And we had a successful completion!
This write-up is the actual invention loool

Unwanted things that we buy
Just to fill a void that we feel inside
Unnecessary battles that we fight
Because we rely on our own might
God is saying, let Me fill you up
Till your cup overflows
I will bring peace to your soul.
If you would open up your heart to Me
I'll show you what tranquility means
I turn broken pieces into a masterpiece
If you don't let Me, I don't overstep boundaries
I am here for you, whenever you're ready.
Gods1son Oct 2019
Living in a world full of standards
Here is what you should be
Here is what you can't be
I don't play by none of those rules

My real yardstick is the person I was created to be
So even if I live like you better than you
Still, I'll be a failure to the person I was meant to be

I don't want to reach the end of the road
To regret it all because I lived another's life
So, my success has nothing to do with your standards
Success is being me with no compromise.
Success is to genuinely live as me till the end.

Three days in a row, she's been in my radar
Before I reach out, she vanishes into a corner
What she's showing me is like a trailer
She's like a movie you would call a thriller
Ain't seen a skin sleeker
She's got no diamond jewelry on but she glitters
I'm on a quest to find her, call me the seeker!
Gods1son Jan 2019
Whenever we speak
I can feel my entire being,
My heartbeat, my breathing
I mean, all of me
Choreographing
To the sound of your voice
It is always an euphoric moment.
Gods1son Mar 2019
I'm done trying to survive the storms
This time around, I am the storm
Knocking down obstacles
Pulling down anything that stands in my way
No more running and hiding
It's season of winning and conquering!
Gods1son Mar 2020
It just dawned on me that
most of our stress comes
from one doubt or the other –

What if all these plans don't work out?

What if I'm not good or capable
enough to do "this and that"?

What if that person which is
is supposed to do "this or that"
fails to do so?

What if after all my prayers,
God doesn't do "this and that"?

The fear of uncertainties
stresses us the most.


But isn't that what faith is supposed
to address?


What if my faith doesn't work?

Ultimately, it all boils down to trust.

How much can we trust God knowing
that all these things are all within His
control – ourselves, our plans, others
and the others things that we are uncertain
of are subject to Him.

Everyday, I see people's thirst to be the tree
The tree bearing precious fruits for others to eat, seeds for others to replant
The tree providing shade for others to cool
The tree releasing oxygen for others to breathe
The tree providing home for others to live
The tree looking beautiful for others to admire

That is many people's desire
But remember, the tree was once a seed
It took time for the tree to grow
The tree had to withstand adverse weather conditions
The harsh weather built the tree a strong foundation
Don't stress, give in to your cultivation!
Gods1son Jul 2019
I hold my peace dear to me
Too many things/people out there
trying to rip one's peace into pieces
They cause disturbances like
stones tossed into a lake
It appears their desire is to
see one's smiley face
ripple into a frown
They often run their mouths,
in order to run one down
I guard my peace from all
these peace predators
This is the one wall that
deserves to be built!
Gods1son Nov 2019
Life will sometimes throw at you, punches,
In attempts to break through your defences
Because out there exists an adversary,
he's the root of sins, hatred and misery
he's likened to a roaring lion roaming,
looking for who to devour
Millennia ago, this enemy saw defeat
And Christ gave to us the victory
Christ placed this enemy under our feet
Howbeit, he's a master of lies and tricks,
he goes about deceiving and gimmicking
But he's a powerless and defeated foe
If you put on the whole armor of God,
(Ephesians 6:10-18)
You'll put the enemy where he belongs
The victory was already proclaimed ours
Come what may, stand tall like a tower.

Hand in hand,
walking in unity.
Watching another's back,
genuine care and empathy.
Showering love on self,
Extended to neighbours as well.
A world in harmony,
sharing resources cordially.
Budget once allocated to weaponry,
diverted towards humanity.
Building and strengthening communities,
rather than creating enemies.
This is the world I see,
A world of people, not a world of things.
Gods1son Dec 2018
The world is always ready to judge you
Plunge you into the water, just to drown you
Drag your name through the mud and then clown you
Smile at your face but backbite you

Don't let their talks distract you
Nor allow their ill comments shackle you
They envy you and that's why they try to tackle you
Stay focused, don't let them **** your energy

The secret is to ignore them
'cause they will always remain behind you
Paying attention to them will only rob you
Do you and don't let them stop you

Don't fall for their games and gimmick
Be smart, never reveal your tactics
You are doing it right
That's why you see the critics!
Gods1son Jul 2019
A number of things are uneasy to forget
Like how it was a luxury to have 3 square meals,
How mountainous paying tuition was
But the hope for a greater tomorrow,
those situations couldn't steal
I remember some of my clothes had holes
Nonetheless my faith remained whole
At least, I had a roof over my head
and a family that cared
I remember we didn't have surplus
Nevertheless I was thought to give
Some things, you just never forget
But when you look back at them,
All you can do is give thanks!
Gods1son Nov 2018
Lost in thought trying to remember what I was thinking about!

Does expensive always mean reliable?
Does eloquent always mean smart?
Does big always mean fat?
Does wealthy always mean happy?
Does saying sorry always mean remorse?
Does thanks always mean appreciation?
Does 'I understand' always mean comprehension?
Does quiet always mean gentle?
Does philanthropic always mean owning plenty?
Does no always mean never?
Does active always mean healthy?
Does poor always mean powerless?

Every morning, on my way to work
I see this "old" man (in his seventies)
Walking his beloved wife to the bus stop
Her bag in his right hand
The other hand interlocked in hers

I smile right behind them
as they take step after step
talking to each other
I could hear the tone of love
in their voice
I never hear the words
(not my business I guess)

Their eyes would meet frequently
as they talk and walk
With smile blooming on their faces
I never tried to overtake them
'cause it's such a beauty to behold
A proof to me that love never gets old

At the stop sign,
He carefully places the bag back
in her hand,
followed by a short hug
Before turning his back
to head for their home

It's such a wonderful sight and
It has never failed to
leave me in awe every single time.

Laziness uncondoned but
"This thing" gives you an edge
Even when you're not the best
"This thing" gets you chosen
In my life, it's been proven

"This thing" comes from on High
And it puts you in high places
It sets you on high tables
It unexpectedly open doors
Some folks call it luck
But I know it as GRACE.
Gods1son Sep 2018
You know that you need to cut
"this thing" off
But you can't imagine yourself
Without "this thing".
"This thing" can be anything, it defers from person to person but you know what yours is!
Gods1son Jan 2020
Here's my prayer for you this week
Whether your faith be strong or weak
Miracles will take place in your life
Such that your joy will reach its peak
Your heart desires will come to pass
And testimonies will fill your mouth
The blessings that you will receive
Will make someone believe that
God is gracious and good.
Gods1son Nov 2019
When I look into your eyes
All I see is a paradise
No lies, I think I'll forever be enticed
I want to bask in those eyes everyday
Every night, by you, I want to lay
I promise to do whatever it takes,
To forever keep you my bae
Promise me that, come what may,
By my side, you'll stay
Till the end of our days.
Gods1son Mar 2020
Get out of your own head
Your life isn't bad as you think
Your life is more valuable than you think
Your skills and abilities are
better than you think
Your future is brighter than you think
You have more love in your heart than you think
Keep a close eye on your thoughts
Because they ultimately drive you –
either backwards or forwards.
Gods1son Sep 2018
Thoughts are attention seekers
YOU are the chooser!
Thoughts will always come, you decide the one(s) to dwell on!
Gods1son Jan 2019
There lies three open briefcases
Identical on the outside
One holds valuable materials
The second houses a pile of crap
And the third is like a blank page (empty)

Here comes an opportunity
To grab just one of the three
.....
A simple analogy
That true worth is measured
By what resides on the inside
And not mere outward appearances.
If you were asked to grab three times, in what order would you go?
Gods1son Feb 2020
I was staring at my clock
As it was doing its tick tock
I was watching it do its job
And I started questioning
myself if I am doing mine.
Am I really doing my work?
Not the job I'm being paid for
But the work that I was made for.
I began to introspect, to see if
my job and my life's work intersect.
Have I given attention to everything else
And leave my purpose on the shelf?
This inanimate clock spoke to me
It said, you have all that you need
to be who you were formed to be,
It's all on the inside of you.
You just have to set your priorities
right and that is in your hands.
Gods1son May 2019
Time is of the essence
It's one resource that cannot be purchased
Use yours chasing your dreams
And not chasing them away
Being overly inactive is
being active in the wrong things.
Gods1son Apr 2019
Time goes
Whether fast or slow
It waits for no one
It functions by its own rules that
We have to adhere to
Do what you have to do
When you ought to
Gods1son Oct 2018
Time is a thing,
Only in the presence of life!
10 words
Gods1son Oct 2018
Sometimes, the difference between
True and false,
Yes and No,
Good and bad,
Truth and lie...
                             Is just TIME!
Time reveals a lot if given a chance!
Gods1son Aug 2020
The fact that others are winning
doesn't mean you are losing.
Seeing yourself as a failure is
a lure into the abyss — don't do it!
Rejoice with those that are winning
Because life is about timing —
yours will come in its due season.
Let their win inspire you, not pressure you.
Gods1son Nov 2018
I got a package delivered to me at 12:00am
It's called Today
I opened it and
It's loaded with lots of new goodies
New motivation
New inspiration
New visions
New energy
New strategy
New beginning
New promises
New hopes
New strength
New ideas

Attached is a letter that reads:
These are goodies for Today
And not 2 days
Not yesterday and today
Not today and tomorrow
Take your package everywhere you go
And remember it expires 11:59PM today!
There is something about today, if not mixed with any other day!
Gods1son Oct 2018
We are all in this together
'cause we share the same building we call Earth
Even though we live on different floors we call Continent
Or have different rooms we call Country
Together, we should all take care of this building and the occupants!
Gods1son Aug 2020
Life shouldn't be about "Them against Us"
nor should it be about "You against Me"
We should promote more collaboration,
instead of unnecessary competition.
What's there to gain from division?
We can reach great length when
we combine our individual strengths.
Gods1son Feb 2020
Instead of speaking ill of one another
We could help each other heal
Instead of going for one another's throat
We could help keep each other afloat
Instead of oppressing one another
Could we consider upholding each other
The beauty of a puzzle is seen when
its pieces are put together rightly.
Gods1son Aug 2019
Togetherness begins by being one with self
A broken piece joined to another broken piece results into a chaotic mass
A wound not healed within isn't healed,
no matter how it appears on the surface
A collective goal requires individual efforts
A journey to a better world begins first with self
Blame games are lame games
To achieve unity, make the first move.
Gods1son Nov 2018
There is strength in our togetherness
There is peace in our oneness
Especially when we respect each person's uniqueness

There is power in our unity that
We can harness
To bring about individual and unified progress
And ultimately our overall success

But instead, we judge one another to condemnation
We operate on islands of isolation
We practice segregation
Lack of love is our biggest limitation!
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!
Gods1son Apr 2019
They say, repeat a word too many times
And it would lose its meaning
I wonder if the word "love" is a victim of this

Is it overused such that
it's true meaning is lost
Looking around today,
Love is more of a word spoken
And less of an action taken

It pays to speak less and do more!
Gods1son Mar 2019
There is a tool that
can break people or things into pieces
The same can be used as an instrument
To heal, mend and restore peace
This tool is produced worldwide
in unlimited quantities, every second

This tool is called words.
Gods1son Mar 2019
I give women double respect
Not because they are weaker
as some would think
But because they are stronger and meek

Without a woman, I wouldn't be here
She housed me for 9 months in her belly
She withstood and embraced all my kicks
(Trust me, I was **** good at it)

Listen to them and you'll be amazed
at the wisdom with which they speak
They sure deserve equal chances to lead
Pay them the wages they deserve

All women are beautiful outside and within
When it comes to caring for the family
Sorry men, we are no match
Often times, we are more about the money

When they give birth
Let's give them a sufficient maternity leave
Because they do it for the world at large
That's another problem solver brought to the world

We've got to treat them like Queens
Honor them, pamper them, believe in them
'cause without them,
we wouldn't all be here
From the bottom of my heart,
I say... I love y'all
This is coming from a man
Toy
Gods1son Oct 2018
Toy
She didn't get toys when she was young
She finally got herself one... My heart!
Loool
Gods1son Aug 2019
Everyone is fundamentally unique (in a
beautiful way).
But in attempts to fit in or
become generally acceptable,
We easily and willingly sacrifice
our uniqueness.
Gods1son Apr 2020
Why do we often transfer our blames to
a third party entity — someone, something,
the devil or any other external thing
outside ourselves? Why!

As we point a finger at our accused,
three fingers of ours are pointing at us
like — Listen, this is on you!

It's easier to shush the voice of the truth
But acknowledgement has to come before
improvement or advancement.
Take ownership of your wrongs and
match on to do better.
Gods1son Jan 2019
If they break your pencil,
Make two out of it

If they place stumbling block on your way,
Make steps out of it

If they say sh*t on your name,
Make manure out of it

If they throw stones at you,
Make sculpture out of it

The negativity is theirs
What you make out of it is yours
Gods1son Mar 2022
What is transparency?
Is it revealing what you want them to see
Or baring your soul for someone to see
But how could you share what you're dealing with within, when you know they'll end up using it against you or call you weak
So, you leave it trapped in, even though it's eating you deep
You wish to throw the lid away and let it bubble out, but who can you trust it with
Especially since you tried before and it came back to bite you
So, you resort to wearing a big bright smile as mask.
Gods1son Sep 2018
Her soul is trapped within my soul
Even though, she is gone
But her soul is not done
Gods1son Apr 2019
The one whose heart is filled with love
has a chest full of priceless treasure
Gods1son Mar 2019
I love how trees
Yield with ease
And sway their arms,
dancing to the
Sweet melody from
The breeze
