My life shrouded in pieces of mystery Encumbered with feats of misery Begotten of a wrenched soul Swimming around piety A life so peaceful;but in shame Such a mystery it beholds throughout it's essence A facade poised to fade away In return for pride Never a dime to behold But a treasure to withold

We all want to make the world a better place but it seems that this narrative is an inadvertent distraction by ourselves against ourselves because the first and primary thing which is the foundation of making the world a better place is making ourselves an abode of love to be a perfect environment for others to reside with and feel our glory and be a change.

My life being full of roses Blends of several colours and flavours Seamless flow of unimaginable imaginations That keeps me flying high with my feet still on the ground Walking in my glory, splendor and candor Everything seems grandiose before my eyes I could touch greatness As a matter of fact, i was a brother Even though the sandstorms swept my feet away I never kept away from it's grasp Even though everything i saw was dirt I could see light in my dirt That flow of uncertainty blossoming into certainty Is the greatest strength i could muster The unseeming harmony that makes life what it is This was my dream in my reality For my reality is the essence of my being

The rain is cold Dripping hard on me My heart as hard as stone Every passer-by looking at me as a deranged fit Probably a glance or two; maybe more I hold my head tightly; my voice growing boisterously as the pain increases I can feel my mind tearing apart I am uncertain whether to be in tears or in indignation The more uncertain, the more blurry i see My heart pounding harder by the second What do i do? Helpless i was, helpless i am What world am i in in the world that i see My being far away from me Who am i right now? This question keeps accompanying me till i faint in the cuddle of distress

"But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." James 4:6 KJV In all the translations, the word 'grace' was mentioned in all except GOD'S WORD and CEV   translation. Among the translations: the NIV, ESV , BSB, NKJV, KJB, ISV, NHEB, Aramaic Bible in plain English, AKJV, ASV, DBT, ERV, WBT, WEB emphasized 'More grace' in the beginning of the sentences of the verse. While other translations such as YLT, DB, JB 2000, NAS 1977, NET Bible, HCS Bible, CSB, NASB, BLB emphasized 'greater grace'. Meditating on these verse, the 'more grace' and ' greater grace' lays emphasis on the word humility. The writer stresses the importance God places highly on humility. It was through humility God  condescendingly created mankind and give them free will. I have a question: Why would God create something that he knows would eventually go against him but still sacrificed his own dear son to...

Life is a never ending flow of pain and sorrow A consequence of our fights and myths When harmony tries to blend We fight to the end, to flow in an unforgiving essence of cynicism Life is meant to be a flow from strife to harmony But sadly, from strife to strife What to do? But to flow in strife to attain the heights can that ever be achieved Then you can see harmony.                                                                             

A walk in the twilight; the genius to the morning My legs heavy like i am walking on the wet sands of the shore I hear birds chirp, sing, and flap their wings I see no one, only a faint shadow of my glory The ground cannot be seen to know where i tread My heart hardens as i tread along the more slowly by the minute Suddenly, a tear drips down to ground from my tiny, little eyes to realise my steps have been all wrong The sensation of bitterness beginning to engulf my being to replace my within Can this be possible? Is this believable? But it is happening before my tiny, little eyes you see My being is been torn apart to be replaced by a feeling i do not know What a strife! What a life!! Is this a waste or am i a wasteland? The sun finally shines and then i can now see That i have been walking in the mud all this while Where did go wrong in my steps? What shall i do now?
