AS MUCH AS WE WANT IT
As
much as we want change,
We are
not yet ripe for change,
Because
we keep doing the same thing,
In the
same way and manner,
Yet expect
a different output;
As much
as we dream about change,
We cannot
experience it yet,
Because
we continue to hold unto,
The same
old ideas that have kept us stagnant,
And make
no concrete effort to adopt new ideas;
As much
as we sing and say change,
We cannot
obtain the change we sing yet,
Because
just as we sing and say change,
We act
contrary and contradictory to the change;
No matter
how much we want change,
We may
never achieve the change needed,
While we
still hold unto the old ideas and actions,
As much
as we want it.

I AM STILL LOYAL TO YOU
The tidal waves are too boisterous,
The storm is ferociously hitting on me,
I can hardly breathe out a relief,
As pressure comes from within and without,
As the heat seems it will drive me crazy,
I am in between two pulled from different angles,
Whether to continue or back out,
But just then I realize I still have a choice,
And so I choose to be committed to you,
I decide to still be loyal to you,
Now and always

SO MERCIFUL
I easily despise His words
I quickly forget I am to serve Him
I immediately loose my confidence
And stray away from His presence
To walk in the path of death
Where evil search for its prey
To mercilessly feast on it
But the merciful God wouldn’t loose me
He wouldn’t allow me to die in sin
He abhors seeing me being led astray
As so He stretches forth His hand
To draw me back on the right path
To set me on the straight path
Forgiving and forgetting my iniquities
And showing me His mercy
It’s indeed rich to save a dying man
For God’s mercy wouldn’t let go.

THE GENE IN A GENERATION
It started out as a miniature seed
It began so little looking insignificant
As if it would not attain to anything
Yet in its littleness was life given to it
In its smallness God breathe into it
That it may fulfil His purpose on earth
Being recognized as a gift that makes way for the bearer
While to some it’s a unique talent
Very rare and unheard amongst many people
But we all as heathen vessel do possess it
Embedded into our system and structure
Well composed into our being and life
Imbibed into our blood and its minute cells
Into our genome and its chromosome
To affect and effect changes into our generation
That we might serve God as a seed in our time
And being accountable to Him in our generation
For in our mortal body resides
The gene in a generation.

LOVE
Love is so rich to exhaust
It’s so wide and deep to fathom
It’s so broad and large to imagine
It’s so blessed and enriching to avoid
It’s cool and warm to neglect
It’s so charming and adoring to resist
It sets the path of two together
Though they never thought they could meet
It brightens hope in the frustrated
And clothe the naked
It expresses itself fearlessly
It shares itself sacrificially
And gives out itself without withholding any
When you are in it
You will never want to let go
Because to whom you’ll want to share it
Is all to you and your life
Love is so sweet to hate experiencing.

TO EVERY WOUNDED SOUL
Life spring forth from a wounded heart
His spirit was crushed with a heavy load
The burden of sinful man that despise God
Though He stretches out His love towards us all
We reject and refuse His unfailing love
Because little did we know the importance of His death
And as He was stripped all over His body
He received the hurts and pains our life
As He was injured piercing into His Spirit
He made provision for our healing
In His love He spreads out His anointing
To touch every wounded soul
In the deepest part where it hurts us most
Christ has come to offer us healing
One, which is divine and everlasting
As He has loved us.

I AM YOUR HEALER
Crushed and bruised you are
Wounded and injured beyond repair you think
You have been battered and beaten
Life has been depressing and disheartening
Circumstances have made you disconsolate
Your heart have been broken and severely hurt
At this point for you, giving up is the best
Jumping down the cliff is the perfect option
For it seems all hope is lost and gone forever
But I am here by your side to help you
To mend and repair your broken soul and heart
To dress and treat your injuries and bruises
To reverse what you think is irreversible
And to satisfactorily restore your hope
For I am your healer.

THE WONDERS OF LOVE
The concept of love is unconceptualized
Its mystique often baffles the human mind
Its search often reveals more than it possess
It is an adventure worth taking in life
It’s more than a feeling everyone should experience
When it’s absent we are really starved
And when available we keep demanding more
Love is not a thing or feeling that satisfies
Rather love is a satisfaction itself
Its experience is enriching and fulfilling
Its sharing is compatible with every event in life
Just as it can be shared, it can be received
It makes you wonder the non-existence of life without it
It is the wonder of love.

IF GOD IS THERE
I’m yet to understand why and how it turned out like this
I’m not really sure of what to expect again
As everyday keeps unearthing new disappointments
Expectations are meant to be answered early
But each day has proven contrary
Each night I stay speechless in prayer
Early mornings use only in wondering
Whether the unbearable siege would be over
At every moment, we get discouraged
We are bent on searching out
If God is there.

EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY AND ABOVE
What a year to live in
What a bountiful harvest to experience
For this year is loaded with its best
As God unleashes the fullness of HIS blessings
And our lives attract HIS favour and blessings
Our going in and out welcomes HIS goodness and mercy
Beyond comprehension, we are elevated and exalted
Above imagination, God has magnified us
In a manner and pattern, that confounds everyone
For no eyes have seen nor ears hear
How exceedingly abundantly and above
God has bestowed HIS care on us
How exceedingly abundantly and above
God has shown HIS love towards us.

I FEEL LIKE TAKING THE LAST BREATH
The enormity of the raging storm is ravenous
The extent of the boisterous wind is so wide
To keep pace with the event is so tiring
Hopelessly I walk and work my path
Painstakingly I attempt to see beyond
I try to envisage where it will all end
For this struggle has to stop instantly
This distressing challenge must be over soon
As I keep wondering on how tough it has been
Casting my mind on the frequent hardship
And reflecting on the difficulties
I feel like taking my last breath
But thanks to God, I didn’t.

WHERE ARE THEY?
Time will tell
History will recall
The enormous impact man can make
The magnanimous influence we can contribute
In reshaping our world to be better
In restructuring our lives to be worthwhile
In making planet earth homely
But not all these has been achieved
Because of the fallen heroes
Who at the peak of their success
At the height of their stardom
They missed the right step
Associated with the wrong people
And where seen at the inappropriate places
Thus their lives turned out unfulfilled
Their dreams were unachieved
Their voices were unheard
And their purpose unaccomplished
Leaving the unsatisfied thirsty earth to soberly request
Where are they?
© Jan 2008
I CAN’T FORGET YOU
As much as I think of a successful life
I see you as a contributor in the picture
As much as I dream of a fulfilled living
I recognise you as part of my life
For it is easy now to realise
Quite simple and obvious to visualize
How empty and void all can be without you
How dissatisfied and depressive life could be
When you are absent and not there
My heart pants earnestly for your love
My soul eagerly expect your warmth
My body freezes without your tender touch
For without you I cannot run this race
Without your counsel, I cannot conquer this quest
As my mind thoughtful reflects on you
I see how unreal my life would be without you
For I can’t forget you.

THE ME IN YOU
I want to be the greatest
I want to be at the top always
I want to be rank as the only best
I want to be rated as the most superior
Regardless of who or what it requires
Even if I would have to make others inferior
Even if I would have to bring as many down
Embarking on making a lot fall
Even if I would have to make others fail
Making my fellow neighbour insignificant
I would still want to be the ultimate
That is who I have always wanted to be
This is me, the me in you
Always contradicting the God in you
So it is either you allow the God in you
Or you permit the me in you.

MORE THAN ANYTHING
You could have chosen someone else
You could have befriend another person
You could have helped another helpless
Instead, you chose me above all
You lifted me up from the miry clay
You set me the solitary in a family
You made me stand before kings and not mere men
Even though I am not qualified
Yet you empower me to be qualified
You have set me on the solid rock
To solidly stand steadfastly and steadily
I am indeed grateful to you for all
How can I fully express my appreciation?
For even if I try to pay for it
You would not collect anything
Therefore I resolute this day and forever
That I love you
More than anything

HOW DID IT GET TO THIS?
When I look around
Seeing the disaster occurring around the globe
When I search through earth and its events
Seeing the atrocities we have inflicted on one another
When I listen to the news
Hearing the evil committed to tear our world apart
I am forced to question myself
And ask my creator where we went wrong
To request from my fellow human being
How did it get to this?
Lord, please have mercy.

A PART OF YOU IN ME
Everyday of our lives we meet new faces
Every moment of our time, we relate with people
Some are meant to stay long
Some are meant to be for a while
But no matter how brief or long they stay
We learn something new from every relationship
We pick up some new habits in every fellowship
A ‘let go off’ some bad habits
Leaving an indelible mark is the ultimate
Making an unforgettable impact is the supreme
Consciously a part of others prompts our actions
Unconsciously a part of some guides our steps
People will always come as they are bound to go
We will always meet to part and part to meet
Life has been fashioned to revolve like that
You invest in me and I invest in you
So that every steps we take
Every speech we utter
Every path we walk
It is always you in me and me in you
A part of you in me.

LOST LOVE
I tried hard to have you back
I struggle much to claim your love
I labour severely to share your affection
But all my effort is to no avail
If I could reverse time and season
I would give you my extra affection
I would do the unusual for you
I would fully devote my passion towards you only
Day and night would I spent to please you
I would consistently do your likes
And so well undo your dislikes
Everything I would pour out to satisfy you
Daily I would live to please you the more
But now I realised your heart is to someone else
Your affection daily grows towards another person
Even though I try to gain your attention
It is focused towards someone else
I sit to ponder on all these happenings
But it then dawn on me that I have lost you
And it's worthless pursuing a lost love
I struggle much to claim your love
I labour severely to share your affection
But all my effort is to no avail
If I could reverse time and season
I would give you my extra affection
I would do the unusual for you
I would fully devote my passion towards you only
Day and night would I spent to please you
I would consistently do your likes
And so well undo your dislikes
Everything I would pour out to satisfy you
Daily I would live to please you the more
But now I realised your heart is to someone else
Your affection daily grows towards another person
Even though I try to gain your attention
It is focused towards someone else
I sit to ponder on all these happenings
But it then dawn on me that I have lost you
And it's worthless pursuing a lost love
