Look Around

Stop and take a look
See what is going on
And try to reset things
There is no need to wait
Get up and change the world
Because you can
If you look around
Tell me what do you see Is
there something to smile about?
While the children are dying everyday?
And as the nations cry for peace
The leaders are talking about the economy
What is so good about this?
That's why I took a look around
And have got to do this writing
That you may also read
And maybe join force with us
To fight in this battle

My Turn

It's my turn to glorify Him
For the pains He beard
Just to yield me a fruit
I have never planted and nurtured
Oh! Lord God of mercy
Hallowed be Thy name
And may Your minds be true
If not that you were there
What would I have done?
My education couldn't
Replace my appetite for salvation
But then, my faith in You
And the baptism in Your Name
I am a son with a Father
A herd with a shepherd
A soul with a known destiny
And it's my turn
To sing Hallelujah!
To His holy name
So praises and adoration
Be onto Thy Holy Name

To Be A Poet

Writing poetry is a game
To be a poet is a fame
So pen it making your name
Because there is no blame  

A poet is a traveler
And also a seller
You can say he is storyteller
But never a ruler 

On his journey,
He needs no penny
But just some honey
And forget about money 

A poet is a messenger
Running like a night ranger
Informing about the danger
But he is not a stranger 

The journey of a poetess
Is like a mistress
Who is without a stress
As she practice the press 

A poet is a lonely man
He is happy without his woman
A warrior without gun
And the man who will never run 

He faces trouble with courage
As his pen and paper will manage
And into no one's business, he'll engage
Because the world won't damage 

Yes! A poet is an en-lighter
He is not a fighter
And not just a writer
But also happy during the witter

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

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

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

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
