Many people do not agree with or understand
the Bible; they call it an out-fashioned book
that’s indescribable, but this magnificent book
can solve all of life’s problems with ease;
no psychologist needed.

Slay The Dragon
Hell is no downplaying
a constant replaying of life on earth
no delaying
slay the dragon
Actions | Words
Daily, I am aware of my shortcomings I’ve had
to become forthcoming with my flaws
pause and pull myself out of my comfort zone
it’s been a slow process
my actions | my words did not match up.
Quick Testimony
Thank God for this precious life; I appreciate
all the struggles I have faced throughout
my lifetime — the misfortunes, the torture,
and the hot lava tears have built
the foundation for my resilience.
Back then, I was anything but appreciative
—the anger and the frustration, the beat-down
from a hard-knock-life became my go-to
escape routes. Jesus was the farthest thing from
my mind, now I can’t stop thinking about Him
I wouldn’t be here without His saving grace; I
remember begging for the courage to end my life.
My Final Destination
I know what it’s like to scour every corner
of the earth looking for a safe place
to rest my head in safe houses
with bullet holes, trying to find relief
from the burden of suicidal thoughts. I’m tired
of running in circles; I always end up back
at square one, Jesus Christ is my final destination.
Resist The Urge to Crumble
Emotional pain brings destruction
sucking happiness down to the very bone
—dry and crumbling—demolition mode,
no mercy. Take care of your health;
resist the urge to feed the distress any further;
laugh a little more,
wiggle out of your comfort zone;
liven up yourself.
Know God Today
There’s a calm but hasty feeling
in the air; something deadly is circulating
in the atmosphere; the time to know God is now
there’s no better day to surrender
your soul; you are in the midst
of a deadly storm.
Observing Misery
Most seemingly ‘happy folks’ hide behind
cracked walls and broken windows
repairing only the outside for brownie points,
while the inside, severely dilapidated, barely can
withstand the pressure. Those folks are often
more miserable than the ‘regular unhappy people,’
no sugarcoating the misery. For every smile,
the ‘happy ones’ put out, a frown screams back,
“save me; I can’t keep up the pretense.”
Talk To God First and Last
Often, God is my last resort for every situation
I encounter; usually, I’ll turn to Him
after I’ve aired my dirty laundry
to trusted folks with no satisfactory resolution.
I’ve learned the hard way to stay silent
and keep my business to myself; prayer is critical
once I leave my burdens in God’s hands,
there they should remain
unbothered by human intervention.
Every Knee Shall Bow
No one will deny God’s existence, not the atheists,
pantheists, humanists, agnostics, freethinkers,
anti-theists, or the skeptics; the moment
humankind closes their eyes, they’ll all know for sure
there’s an omnipresent, omnipotent Creator
science could never explain away.
Dangerous Lie
Fear is a dangerous lie, so crippling
it overtakes the mind, sucks dry freedom,
paralyzes growth, and hides opportunities
in plain sight. There’s a domino effect of confusion,
too frightened to uncover greatness.
The Poison of Adult Entertainment
It’s a free-for-all advertisement;
the poison of adult entertainment,
no humility, no shame for what shows up
on those screens, people stay plugged in
daytime or nighttime, feeding into those
unstable minds, watered down and weakened,
easily manipulated, blasphemy on steroids.
