MISTAKES



Every day, mistakes are made
Sometimes we learn from it
Sometimes we ignored it and walk away
You may not realize this
Mistakes has become part of our lives
It defines who we truly are
It tells the nature of the person inside

You cannot move higher in life
Making the same mistakes each day
Everything needed to succeed in life is not around you
But have to look inward to identify them
Not hiding in the dark chasing someone else’s dream
Life don’t just play it unfair because you are black
Do not expect her to give you a pat on the back

We do not life in a simple world
You have to fight for what you believe in
Run an extra mile if that is what it takes
To get to your destination
Stop blaming the world for your problems
Do not expect the wind to blow challenges away
You have to make sacrifices to excel in life

SORROW




Sorrow crippled life 
Just as hate purges the heart
The timid sun lies in grief
Battered by the selfishness of man

Unwanted memories could go away
Man chooses to kill one another
Left souls of children laying in the grave 
As the world deteriorate from unloved

Life withers, insecurity is on the rise
The evil in the heart of men escalates even more
For the sky is now gray, the night homeless
But now the world wants to destroy the moonlight

ONE DAY


One day
Life is going to be alright
Dreams will run free
And walk on high heels

One day
There will be no one lonely
True love will envelope the sky
Every heart bestowed a perfect match

One day
There will be no worries for water and food
There will be abundance of rainfall
Famine will be eradicated in our land

One day
The strife for war will be over
Hate driven away from our midst
Love unbroken but bonding in every country

One day
The world is going to be better
No more looking over the shoulder
Afraid of kidnappers and robbers

One day
It is all going to be over
No more tears in our children's eyes
No more broken homes but happy family
