Iam Here
When you feel lonely,
In a multitude of a selfish people
I am here with you always!
When you fall down,
And fail to rise up again to heights
I am here with you always
When you cry and weep
To no body’s concern than your own
I am here with you always
When you seem to walk alone
In a world of darkness
I am here with you always
When your hope is blind and your faith is short,
That your soul may collapse
I am here with you always

Life in A Nutshell
I can see a wave of despair,
Tending towards a perishing nation.
I can see weariness and pain,
Written on the faces of a forsaken people.
I can see an ocean of tears,
Drowning souls that walk with no direction.
I can hear groans of mercy,
From desperate sinners who need salvation.
I can see hatred and vengeance
Being sowed and watered by human hands
I can see war and terror,
The fruits of wrath amongst nations.
I see a savior, wiping away tears
Setting captives free, guiding lost souls
I can hear songs of praise,
Despair is gone, hope has come.

Healing Stripes
Look upon the hills,
Where the greatest light stands.
Listen to the voice of hope:
That healing has come
Taste the waters from life,
From the spring of redemption.
A monster traverses the earth.
With haste, chewing up humanity.
Casting the flesh into the grave.
It traps the innocent with its poisonous fangs
And in a deep pit, their hopes end
The master visits the remnant,
With grace, he rewards hope for despair
Redeeming the soul, reviving hope
He knows all the pleasures of life
But tastes the passion
That he should save a despairing people
Healing stripes

He Is Gone Forever
He smiles weakly at sunrise
because he hopes for a brighter day
that redemption will reign
the seed of misfortune, the produce of fate
stands in a lonely world.
He weeps without a care in the world
and he waits with no time to catch
His soul matches in a tunnel of darkness
ultimately, he meets His end...
and he is gone forever!
On his journey, he forgets his boots
On the battleground, he bares no weapon
In the darkness, the winds blow out his lantern
When the door is open, strength folds him away, away, away...
and now he is gone forever
He was a light never kindled
and a coldness froze him.

Heights
We fly to heights;
then sink to depths.
Like birds that fly in the sky;
but pick their feeds from earth.
Like plains that travel in the air;
but gather passengers from the ground.
Like great mountains, towering in glory,
but are founded on their bases.
Great men are small!
They bow to wash others feet,
they get their hands dirty,
to clean up the mess.
The greatest things on earth are small
But there are no mountains without bases
And no wave fails to see the shores
No bird feeds in the air
Heights are sweet but we soon come back home
The greatest imperfection lies in heights
The only temptations come from pride

The Rejected Soul
Our community is a rejected soul
Mothers have hearts with holes
if they don't bury their off springs in latrine halls
in the stomach they murder them as wholes
Now it is a journey with potholes...
Thus, we think conscience is so tall
that's why, we've chosen to fall!
i see our society as a living sole
Each individual with his own wall
the weak have got no angel to call
and the vagabond, no warmth at all
The poor with no faithful pal
and the crippled without a ball
Truth has been taken to shopping malls
kept in the drawers for the moles
Faithful wives compete with whores
for the fathers who line at the street poles
politics, has turned to a busy stall

Just Young
We are just rushing to school
with our books and our brains
but time can't tell for how long
we will help in building an empire
and hope can't guarantee us insurance
We are just dancing away the nights in clubs
while the rest of the world vanishes in sleep
but age will not stand by our side for long
and when day comes, we'll go home
yet even we don't remember if we belong
We are just running across streets
to demand justice and freedom for the nation
but history won't remember us
while we vanish from the face of the earth
and leave the streets to dwell
We are just young
even with grey hair planted on our fertile brains

A True Man
He is one with strong fears
but with a soul that never screams
and has hidden tears
only flowing along the heart like streams
He is one with secret yearnings
which float on his mind's top
and can fend for a decent earning
better than the honors of a cop
His heart is one, his love is one
and his soul never meanders
His belief is one, his faith is one
and his spirit never wanders
He finds a real woman
one who needs his support
and this makes him human
a true creature with out pupport

My Love
My love: that rejoiced in your being
And lit up when darkness fell
My love: that knew your weaknesses
And unleashed the never fading grace
My love: that preserved your soul
When in the Garden of Eden,
Death fell upon humanity.
My love; that founded King David’s kingdom,
And a seed was planted, hope was established
My love; that wiped away Egypt
And swept away the wrath of slavery
That the seed of Abraham might be free.
My love; that held Israel as an infant
And dwelt with evil like fading smoke
My love; that upholds the sun by day
And wakes the moon and stars by night
My love; that restored eternity
And introduced salvation for humanity
My love; that bore the passion
And paid the ransom that no man can fathom…

Still
I still know:
The wisdom that flowed from your lips
like a river never ending.
The love that poured on the earth
Like that rain that waters the plant
I still see:
Your flesh, bare and naked-
the naked truth that we forsook
Your hands, stretching in embrace
like you knew I needed redemption.
I still hear:
your groaning, chilling the quiet souls
Like the shepherd sound to alert his sheep,
Your call to the father
The innocence buried, conscience forsaken
I still feel:
Your scars, the sign of your mercy
