Root Of Hatred

jealousy and conviction
are the root of hatred
so just be content
and spread love

Not Tomorrow

the end must come
but as the thief
the end of suffering
the end of worries
and the end of the wicked world
yes! it must soon come
but i wont believe
whatever science may say
what philosophy may point at
and whatever the false prophets may
but rather keep striving
just to see Gods kingdom come
men claimed to have seen revelations
of the end time coming
which i can hardly believe
as even CHRIST HIMSELF
said its barely known
yes its very true
the end shall soon come
but that's in no mans awareness
so never believe in what they are saying
for though the world is ending
its not just tomorrow

Time Changes

stop shedding those bloods from your eyes
and enmacepate from your internal torments
remember no more your little troubles
but wear the coat of hope in the future
because time is changing
just cast away all your pasts
and look forward not for the future
if not what you can do as you live today
because time changes and never waits
just face the headlight with much focus
building your doors where there seems none
because its the seed of today
that yields the harvest of tomorrow
stand tall with your heads high
maybe you can see what am seeing
and join me on this mission
for the transformation of our people
because i can see longtime ago
that time always changes
yes! we wont always be the same
we must see the end of suffering
bothering, troubling, and the worryings
surely, it must come to pass
as in the wish of the FATHER

Passionate Lover

oh! what a sweet love
like a blessing from above
each and everyday
her passion smiles like the blue bay
i am a prisoner in her kingdom
wondering for my freedom
she is a passionate lover
and a wicked lover
she is the background of my hope
and with her, i have nothing to dope
my blessed morning light
and my bright moon at night

Immortals

Oh! Life, how could you be so unfair to me
Never thought you could betray this way
And I wholly trusted you
That my roots never should rot
And or my branches fall
As my leaves may then witter

But then, peacefully I am trodden
As I live my gift of life
Busing through pains
Without wanting to hurt my sister
Or struggle with my brother
But that like in the wish of the Father
We may live together as one
Resting peacefully in the presence of the Lord
Where comes no end to life
But full of comfort in peaceful eternity
Bless the Lord
I know His way
That makes me holy immortal

PEbblesbaby

I was here on AP just last February
Where I met wonderful poets and poetesses
One of them is Pebblesbaby
Who is she you may ask!
And I will tell you
She is one willing to lend a hand in help
With her arms widely opened
Looking for families
And making good friends
She is a strong fun of love
And is always ready to care
As a poet here on AP
I owe it a reputable duty
To pen a piece dedicated to her
As someone like DivineAngelWhispers
Who is hosting this contest
A poem dedication to Pebblesbaby
Who is the forward light
To many here on AP
And if you can read this
Pebblesbaby
It's a sincere dedication to you
For your wonderful works of humanity
So please mama Pebblesbaby, smile
And feel free always
Because you are a wonderful poetess

When Am Gone

I can see the hurt you hold inside
When am not there
I feel the same way as you feels
When am gone
It's like hell experimental
When am without you
That's why
I got to call on the phone
Saying please don't cry
When am gone
Don't worry or shed tears
For I shall surely return
When am gone
You are always on my mind
And it seems very bad and sad
When you are not there
But many are waiting for me
Just to hear me sing
Others want to see
Who actually I am
So my dear
Please don't cry
As brother Lucky said
For really and truly
We shall meet

Want All

Are you not satisfied?
Feeling alright within?
Are you not happy?
Feeling okay within?

Now that you got it
What more is left?
Now you are done with me
What else can you do?

You wanted all in life
Yet! You can't get all
Try to be content
And also thankful for all

Life is very dangerous
So live learning the rules
And simply go by them
For you shall never regret

Do you know?
That not all that you want
Might you get in life
So remain affirmative always

Love Again

Again I have got to call your name
As with you, I still see no blame
Don't care whatever they may frame
For they shall be thrown into the flame
And again, I am calling your name


I love and will always love you again
Wont care if in gain or pain
Because for you, I shall ever remain
And higher heights, we must attain
So again, I am calling you in the rain

I am ready to love you
Forgetting whatever I hear about you
Because I want to make you, you
And I will never hurt you
Forever and ever, I love you

Waiting Rose

Where have you been Rose?
Please come for the waiting rose
Why do you go far like the ball?
While I need you inside this wall
We both promised in a pledge
From our inner most honest heart's edge
To keep and never stop loving each other
So that forever, we may live together
But now I am always feeling the pains
Left by the bitter sweet memory remains
You want me over there
And I need you over here
A waiting rose I have become
Hoping to see the dreams come
Please come back and feel this hole
For only you can make it a whole
Our promised rose is still waiting
Please better not keep it waiting

Hard Rock

I can feel it always
Your strikes for my downfall
Sometimes, it hits me hard in the head
And strips me with hot iron bar
Yet! Strong I ever remain
Tough against your resistances
And ever ready to face you
BecauseI am a hard rock
Breaking all the barriers
From destitution into hopefulness
From warring into prevailing peace
Can you hear what am saying?
Do believe or not
I am a hard rock

Give Thanks

Give thanks for another day
Give thanks for the blessing
The sun rose again
And we are still alive
Praise God for your life
Praise Him for everything
Be it good or bad
Just be thankful for all
The day is bright

If Not....

If not for love
If not for my love
The love from deep within
The love for you
And the love for me
What might happened?
Might the sun cease to shine?
Or the moon never would bright?
Would the wind not blow?
Or the rain never will fall?
Think if not
That we sees like the blind
Heard like the deaf
And kept silence as the dump
What could have happened?
If not that you were there?
When mummy left us
As dad, we don't even know
I am always wondering
If not that I was born
Or that I am a girl instead?
I wonder how it might be
And that's why I asked
What if not...........?

Forget

Forget your troubles
Never remember your pains
Forget about your miseries
And never recall the bad times
Forget your sickness
And stop the crying
Forget your mistakes
And never be disloyal
Forget about the worries
And look forward for the blessings
Forget the humiliations
And never step away from righteousness
Forget about being a failure
For your time shall surely come
Forget your troubles
And listen to the natural mystics
Forget about everything
Because things shall never be the same
Just forget your troubles
For they are less a burden to bear
Forget about taking revenge
And save the world

Feeling Depressed

Let not our agony of tears
Rule our ideology of hope
But rather our faith in trying
Dominate our entire living
So that by and by
We may also see real freedom
And hold the swards of peace
Cutting across every direction

         HUMBLE       LION 

Should our failure to win
Be the end of our lives?
Or must we always revenge
Raiding innocent souls all the while?
Why not forgive and forget?
As the saying always pertains
I know love can do this very well
And so the urge is, love one another

          HUMBLE       LION 

Come closer, get stronger
Work harder, get better
Trod higher, get deeper
Yes! These are the words
Coming straight from my heart
Listen to what am trying to say

Labor Without Bread

She was a farmer
And sowed ten seeds
Three of them died prematurely
She was nurturing the rest
With hope and faith to win
But as she was not looking
And before she begin to harvest
Killers raided and took her precious life
Making her labor fruitless
Oh! How she wished to enjoy this bread
The bread of her hard labor
Ahh! It's very very painful
To labor without enjoying the bread

Chances

I took a look
To see nothing but the sea
I woke like a joke sleep
Just to realize the idealize
Then I saw and draw
A glance about the chance
For you to feel the blue
As we head upward instead
Because the light is right
Just move to prove and disprove
As I throw this arrow

Together As One

Why not come together? Together as one
As in the interest of the creator
Together we can make it better
Unity is strength
United we stand
And divided we fall
If you all know this
Then why not come together
Together as one
As was in brother Luck's dream
Whoever you are
Wherever you come from
All I know is.......
The human creation must unite
So as to make things just right
Yes! I hope in all this
That together, we are stronger
So just come together
And stand as one

Queen Of My Heart

As fast as running the train
Even so faster is running my love
My love for this empress
And as there's nothing else
That can share the train's path with it
So there is no one to share my love with you

Praise the Lord forever
I have found my queen today
Who ever shall rule my heart
For so means true love
She is the queen of my heart
And the lover of my world

Something makes me afraid
As lover, I have never been
But the same applies to her
As she proclaimed she never knew love
But now I have understood
We were mean to each other

So I asked my queen and said
How best can I love you?
Into my ears silently she whispered
Do to me what you expect from me
Yes! I will treat you with care
For same way, I ask from you

So now I know
I have found real love
And I will make her my queen
The queen of my heart
And the mother of my wards
What a sweet love!

Hardly could I believe myself
As if it's a dream or something else
Then she said
It's a reality love show
I love her so much
For together, we are predestined

I can testify this 100 times
That there is no love comparable
To lost but found rib
She is a divine gift from above
And she is the queen of my heart
And the light to my path

She is perfectly my next half
And so we fixed as fitted
Forming that complete shape
That shape of heart
Which signifies true love

Yes! She is my queen
And she is a gift from above
So you see, this is more than just love
She is but  my everything
From joy through sorrow to death
She is the queen of my heart

Once Awhile

Good things must be done always
But not just once awhile
Bad things are not to be done ever
Not even once awhile

Love never dies
Not even once awhile
Let lovers live a loving life
Always but not just once awhile

Let peace prevail everywhere
And feel the world always
For we don't want any war
Not even for once awhile

Lets keep the struggle
Keep it harder always
We need not give up the fight
Not even once awhile

Stand up for your right
And do it always
But never fight for your right
Not even once awhile

Our Leaders

Oh Africa!
I am sorry for everything
Just sick and tired of hearing
Those innocent voices crying out
Why should one man want it all?
We were fed up with colonialism
So our liberty we seek for
Why now that we are free
And our leaders seems to be puppets
That knows not much
What to do and how to do it
So they treat us anyhow they like
Some of them have big bellies
Which is really unsatisfiable
So they are always wanting
Yet! Never getting all
I want to ask
If those of them like Lauran Gbagbo
Of La-Cote Devoir
Are not feeling sorry
How people are suffering
All for their bad deeds
Please we need peace and love
So with due respect to you our leaders
Sow this seed and nurture them to grow
And just be good leaders
Giving way to others also
To help make things right and better
Yes! To you our leaders I am calling

TheThree

We are the three
The three rulers
Rulers of the world
I am FOOD!
The air you breath to live
And the plants you eat
Are my honest servants
I am DEATH!
The second ruler of the world
Wars,, lies and humiliations
Are my militant soldiers
I am SEX!
The the third ruler of the world
The youth and the masses
Are my weapons of destruction
We are the great three
We are your rulers

No Help

Oh! There is no help
Though we are hopeful
It seems we are enemies
To whoever that may help
And that's why everyday
Though we are trying harder
To make both ends meet
It's not like that
But down at the bottom
We are still existing
Where is the help?
The help that makes it better?
Why can't we render this hand?
The hand that helps
From the heart that loves
There is no help anywhere
And the poor are even losing
What little they kept hold of
Yet! The rich have more to spend
And still wanting more again
Please Help!
The world need help
The children, the boys and the girls
The nations and the masses
All need some help

Good Brother

Among all the brothers I have
From Bernard through Ramsey to Philemon
Brother Albert is the best of all
He is a man of wisdom
And a brother of togetherness
Loyalty and kindness are his game
And love is his name
He is a good brother
One who endures pains while hoping for the best
Mama used to talk about him always
And now that she is away
I have come to realize
What a good brother he is

I Am Not Afraid

I am a son to my Father
A servant to His Throne
And under His shield of protection
I am and shall forever be
Therefore I stand on the hard rock
Upon which the city of Jerusalem is built
And so, I am not afraid
Even when the wicked rise to raid
Never am I terrified or discouraged
That's why I tell my enemies
Oh! You are going to achieve vanity
Because you work but for only iniquity

My Hope

Don't care whatever you say
No matter what you do
However the feeling may hurt
I wont wonder or ponder
About you and anything of you
For I know that
Long before my birth
I was definitely justified
And no weapon formed against me
Shall have the taste of prosperity
These are the words of my Father
Giving me hope to keep grooving
Doing what I must
For the top is beyond my limit

To Mama!

Haile you Mama!
The mother of my world
My one and only one
Whose love, none can compare
Though you are far in the next world
My love for you shall always glow
As the blessed morning sun
To Jehovah the Lord of lords
I give my most thanks for you Mama

Learn To Live

Everyday we are fusing and fighting
Slashing and killing one another
While some of us strike with the sward of peace
All we see is betrayals
Live is really bad
When lived with hopeless people
Who are unwealthy to trust
I wish you my people
Could have seen from the past
And learn to live right today
For the best of all in the future
Just like the bird can see from the tree
I wish you can sight from far
And sense it from within
What life is all about
Yes! Sister learn to live

Why Still I Live

Sometimes through  life
I see pure bitterness
With less interest to live
But when I recall
What wonders The Lord can do
And how unique and wonderful
The gift of life is?
I feel to still live
Yes! This is why still, I will
Because I can see tomorrow
Brightening with divine promises
Of better days ahead
Why then should I die?
Now that  I know
It shall be well tomorrow?
So you can see
Why still, I live,

Time

Time is money
It is a resource
It needs to be managed
Time is always running
And it wont wait
Even if you fail to prepare
So you get up now
And do something new
Before it gets too late
Because time waits for no man
You need be fast
With whatever you are doing
Because time is fast running
Tomorrow is yet to come
Today is your time and chance
So do what you can
In all the ways you can
To all the people you can
Because time is finishing

Hope

Hold still the battle
Never give up the fight
It is almost the end
You shall soon be happy
Just keep the striving
Till you reached that height
Hope is what I am talking about
Success is almost at hand
You only need to try again
Even if the first try failed
Believe me
You are born to win
So never give up the fight
Turn and turn up on your sides
Break and break through
The winner, you must surely be

What You Want

when shall you be satisfied?
can you fill that hole?
now that you want all
including my owns
yet! you can't get all
for it's not all that you want
that you surely would get
just make yourself content
and forbid jealousy
let your feet rest on
what is yours alone
and always be mindful
that it's not all what you want
that you shall surely get

Don't Worry

Don't worry
World people
Don't worry
It shall be well

I am never discouraged
Even though I keep failing
I am never  terrified
Even though I know it's dark
For all I know is that
Jah shall be there forever
That's why I sing.......

Don't worry
World people
Don't worry
It shall be well

It shall come to pass
All these sufferings
All this humiliations
Oh Wars! and hatreds
So many troubles
I am worried
But don't worry
For I can see
A day yet to come
When we shall see
Jah light brightening
And glowing
Making everything right
Yes I am around!
So help we sing....

Don't worry
World people
Don't worry
It shall be well

You've got to be happy
Even though it's getting hard
You've got to be happy
No matter what's going on0
So I sing this song
To waken you up

Don't worry
World people
Don't worry
It shall be well


Song By Humble Lin

Waiting Rose

Where have you been Rose?
Please come for the waiting rose
Why do you go far like the ball?
While I need you inside this wall
We both promised in a pledge
From our inner most honest heart's edge
To keep and never stop loving each other
So that forever, we may live together
But now I am always feeling the pains
Left by the bitter sweet memory remains
You want me over there
And I need you over here
A waiting rose I have become
Hoping to see the dreams come
Please come back and feel this hole
For only you can make it a whole
Our promised rose is still waiting
Please better not keep it waiting

Obey

i am obedience
the only one
that makes you free
it is true when you obey
doing only what you must
freedom is your share
i need you
and you need me
to obey is better than to sacrifice
so obey! my people
everywhere you go today
i am the most cherished lifestyle
in the whole wide world
in schools,
at work posts
and at social gatherings
i am the number one virtue
though you may feel tired
obeying everyday
know that it pays to obey
it is a call to humanity
to obey and trust
regardless of age, class and any other
in whatever you do
remember i have told you
to trust and obey
for it pays a lot

Stop

if what you do everyday
doesn't make your brother smile
then you will have to take a stop
re-accounting for the past
then what next shall be clear to you

if what you practice
is not what you preach
then you have got to take a stop
before people start to preach
what you practice

if what you want in life
is not what will be there forever
then you must again take a stop
for all things shall come to pass
exceptthe righteous souls

Resurrection

his sufferings and
the pains on the cross
made me a free soul
his death and ressurection
gave me salvation
his teachings
are light to my path
the rocky foundation
upon which i dwell
is Emmanuel who is the Christ
you may call Him Jesus Christ
but all i know is
He is my savior
and this easther
i shall remember Him
and celebrate
His death and resurrection

Kevin-AP

Yesterday in the afternoon
I saw the message on the sidebar
Stating some changes to come
Then I was waiting
For Kevin's site update
Which is yet to come
As he prompted us
But it was rather funny
When he said this morning
It was all about the April Fool!s joke
The whole AP body was
In awe I guest
For some had poems penned
Yet to publish yesterday
But then, Kevin was funny
And they have to do it
But this morning instead
Kevin is a great man
He is for us all
He made us smile
But yesterday, I was sad
Because it took away My last inspirations

Marley And Lucky

Life goes around
And it also comes around
We've all become the victims
Of what is going on
The wars and the fusing
The envies and the hatreds 
The troubles in this commotion  
I never knew it will be like this
How Marley and Lucky
Talked about it in their songs
Brother Bob Marley said
"How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look"?
Yes! All stood looking by then
When he was taking away
And been called a dead man
Then brother Lucky Dube repeated it
In his "Victims' song
And proved it with "Crazy World"
Still, we stood and watch
After he was shot dead on the street
Oh! Why Marley And Lucky?
May they rest in perfect peace
As we go on in life
Continuing their good works

My Rhyme

Just give me a hearing
And forget about the numbering
For I made it for the healing of the nation
Yes! My rhymes means good for the nation
I will and I will continue to do the singing
And I want you to start swinging
Because I came with much hope
With but less to dope
Even if they should stand to pull me down
I shall rise up the next dawn
For I know it's a blessing
That must be kept ever blazing
So if you did hear of this rhyming
Know that it's me coming
Coming bold with my rhyme
To feel the end of time
With poems of thought provoking
And sayings like cloud of smoke chocking
Sometimes, I does it freely without rhyming
But it's nice when I tried my hand on rhyming
I believe you love my rhyme
As it's much about the time

Rain

deep dark in the night
the trees started to sing
the wind continued with drumming
soon, the roofs began the dance
and everyone came to realize
what that night got to offer
finally, the rain camea

The Sky

hail His divine majesty
when you see the wonders
in the sky and the clouds
the oceans and the seas
the mountains and the hills
the forests and the desert
all fall under the sky
Jehovah is wonderful
and all His works are great
so wonderful as the sky above
in the sky I see hope
when it seems hopeless
and reasonable solutions
when am perplexed
and so wonderful
is the sky as the Father's creation

I Know

I know! 
Yes! I know!
That Jah is the King
He is the Supreme God
The Lord of lords
And the compassionate Father
I know Him
He created the universe
And every other things in existence
He rules creations
From generations to generations 
His love is perfect and unconditional 
He cares but for all
And I know this
I know Yes I know!
That my faith in Him is my shield
And that HE is everlasting
Who knows all things

I know!
That when my enemies rise to raid
My Lord shall be there for me
He shall lead against my million foes
So woe unto them my pursuers
For I have nothing to fear
As far as in Him I lay my trust
I know!
He shall bring to pass
All my dreams and expectations
And I wont wonder
Because I know!
That HE is the wonderful God
Come put up a chord
Between you and Him
And I promise
You shall never be the same
Believe me for I know!
He has done it severally 
And even much more He can do

I know!
Soon or later
There shall be revolution
And everything will soon change
I also know!
There is a place
Only the righteous can be
And another place
For those without destiny
Do you know?
That my destiny lies in Jah hand?
I know this!
And also I know that
The wicked shall be cast out 
For they can't stand the ground
Made for the righteous ones
I know and believed this
That your deed on earth today
Will determine your destiny tomorrow
So it's my duty to pave my way
Should in case you don't know
I know!
And I have written it
That you may read and know also

Now I know from THE BOOK
Also that,
"Love your neighbor as yourself" 
Is the greatest of all the commandments
For it covers all the others
Yes! I know this
That hatred is the root of all evils
For it is the beginning of sin 
I know you know more as well
So please just do the writing
And we shall read and know
What you know as I deed
By this my I KNOW POEM.

Penman

I can hardly understand
If there is anyone
Who is as poetically groomed
As this poet I have just known
Who have inspired a lot
One of whom I am
You can call him Penman!
But I will call him
The gifted dream poet
Who knows what freedom is
As he seems to delight 
But in being who he is
Brother Penman!
One love for your positivity
Blessed things for your dignity
And much attentions
For your acts and arts
Because you kept the world turning
With your powerful messages
Inspirational quotes and encouragement
Words of hope and words of wisdom
You have healed the world
Do not be discouraged
Or even feel unloved
For the world needs you
Your works of humanity
Arts of craftsmanship
And acts of caring
You are a poet my dear
Who the world can't just dispose

My Most Wish

In my entire living
My eternal being delights
But in peaceful eternity
That when I die
In the Bosom of the Good Lord
I may peacefully lay
Yes! This is my most wish
Apart from this
All other things are nothing
My most wish is
That in Zion after death
I may rest comfortably

To Ellis

Here is a man
Who is talented and blessed
To write and inform
And to transform
The world of today
His name is Ellis
Sometimes, he loved
To be called Tiki Cat
And he is the world's greatest
Rhyming is his game
So always he want to rhyme
Even if it seems to control the flow
Because it makes his name
He is kind as a hobby
And he inspired me a lot 
So come on my people
Lets tell him this
That his words are appreciated
His efforts are not in vain
And that Allpoetry loves him
Ellis is the man
Whose poems are for love
And whose way is the truth
Always he want to rhyme
Because it makes him the poet
Just help me tell him
Never to limit the trying
But keep writing with the pen
Until that book is published

Reggae

Reggae is my favorite
My favorite kind of music
This is the tune of light
The song of the Rastaman
The sing of togetherness
The tunes of revolution
The music of peace
The voice fighting for freedom
This is the king music
It kept surviving centuries
As the others kept fading with time
And it kept rocking down Babylon
Though the makers are being killed always
Peace and love
The truth and the way
Brother Bob Marley is the MAN
The man that made the music
He made it and no one can complain
This is what i like about the song
When it's hitting You feels no pain
Reggae music is to the king
To the president
To the soldiers
And to the getho masses
I love it to the max
Because, with it I chants down Babylon

Passion

I don't know how it started
That I have become so addicted
To read and write
This is all I do
Penning new poems
Some read and encourages me
While others makes me feel bad
But I know it's a gift
And a call as well
So I need to hold it up always
And keep the feelings dropping
Expressively
Compassionately
And contemporary
Because everyday
The passion is growing higher
The hope is still growing older
And the faith is like never before
The passion to write new poem
The passion to pen love poem
The passion to read sad poems
And the passion to comment
It has become part of me
To write and or read
Or is it a sickness?
That my passion for poems
Is uncontrollable
And I want to write new everyday
As I keep reading others
And kept leaving first impressions
This is my passion
To read and to write

Across The Barrier

There is another place
Very beautiful
So peaceful
And very pleasing to be
Like a place called Zion
This is across the barrier
Over the bridge
After we die
There shall be no more
Suffering
Fighting
And killing of one another
There shall be no more
Lamentations
Confusions 
Devastation
Nothing like frustration
And or disappointment
No problem at allAs the moon will bright
And there shall be no dark
The sun will bright
And there shall be no fear
Yes! Across the barrier
Life shall be the best
