THE MOVIE OF LIFE

I am a cast in the movie of life

I have had my own share and taste of life

The deceit, the lies and guilt

The broken promises and betrayal

I have had failures and rejections

I have suffered and faced challenges

I have wept for the loss of dear one to the grave

For life always cast in man a part to play

My regrets is I can't figure out the plot

But can only determine what role
In life I choose to play

DOWN THE ROAD

Down the road I have been

I have been on the street where prostitution and crime is at peak

I have been in midst of villages in tribal war, not peace

I have hide underneath the rocks from rebels

I am a fugitive from a family whom bears hatred and greed

I have been jailed in prison fighting for what I believe in

I have starved in the jungle at the hands of the captives

I have been cast out of the community for defying the faults of the gods

I have lost my possession to the men of the underworld

I have been forsaken by brethren I thought believed in God's words

I have been betrayed by my brothers and sisters

I have been shot at and chased by the enemies

At night the demon seek my soul that's hidden in God's closet

I have been left on the wilderness to die for decade

But the spirit within me can't be weighed down

The world can never take away my dignity and pride

When I found myself down the road, I get back on my feet whenever I fall

For every man got to know I carry in me a vessel

Destined for greatness to achieve in full

LOOKING FOR A SONG

The heart is looking for a song to sing

A song not of regrets for a heart that's broken

A song not of forgotten promises made

A song not of death and mourning

A song not of betrayal and distrust

A song not of anguish and pain

But a song from a heart that's thankful and joyful

A song of victory for the oppressed

A song of the sea calm and blue

A song of the wind subtle and meek

A song of appreciation of the morning dew

A song which the heart every day is made anew

A song of God's presence in a heart bound to succeed

A song of breakthrough for a man whose hope's once denuded

And a song for a heart restored with an eternal smile
