Something to Think About

I was at a standstill,

Doing nothing in particular,

I had not realized you yet,

Didn't quite know if I wanted you.

But when I did discover me,

I discovered you in the process,

And decided to sought you out.

I started crawling towards you,

All baby steps

Then I got the courage to walk towards you

I tasted the benefits of having you

The feeling of "I am worth something much more than that which I already am"

So running towards you swiftly followed

And now,

Now I want to fly to you

Or at least for you to make me fly

Like a plane that flies by and people see it

Or like a jet that flies above the clouds

One that cannot be seen by the people below on earth's ground,

But can be heard clear enough and still leaves a beautiful path on the clouds, of the direction it followed.

Well That's me

That's me at the stage in my life when I realized what I want to do with my life

What I wanted for my life

And decided realizing it was great

But there was much more than just realizing something

Action was key

Taking the step to explore my realizations

Taking the step to become a success

The success whereby I get to accomplish my purpose for living

The success that Miles Monroe spoke about

The success that ensured I died empty and didn't go with my riches to the grave

But rather shared them with the world

The success whereby my silence is a failure and not an achievement

I want my dreams to be a reality

I want them to be a reality because 

I know me,

And I follow me.

I don't want my success to involve me competing with you

But I want it to involve me competing with me

My Rules

My Principles

Not your rules

Not your principles

I  am being true to myself

Not driven by the conditions of worth 

Conditions put in place by the society

I want to be the real me

Cause I will SWOT out my

Strengths

Weaknesses

Opportunities

Threats

And one more thing, 

Passion.

Love for what I do,

The Zeal to wake up each morning and look forward to being me again

Success developed from talents, abilities and interests

Not money, pride, injustice and lies.

I know the success that i am out to accomplish

Do you?

Judge and Judge Not

Judge if you are a judge

A position you hold 'cause it is your work.

Judge Not 'cause it is not in your position to do so

Judge 'cause you are a direct eye witness in a case

Because your statement will determine if a person ends up guilty or not guilty.

Judge Not 'cause your facts are based on hearsay

Judge 'cause you know the whole story

Because you are the one directly affected.

Judge Not 'cause you do not know the whole story

Judge 'cause you will be a victim

A victim who would like to be judged

Judge Not 'cause you shall be a victim

A victim in the same awkward situation

A victim in the same embarrassing situation

A victim in the same weird situation

A victim such as the one you were so quick judge

The person whom you looked at with sneer

And in that situation you would wish

You would wish people listened rather than walked away from you,

You would wish people sympathized with you and your situation rather than scrutinized you,

You would wish people to be gentle and understanding rather than rude and judging

Judge Not 'cause you would wish people did the opposite of what you did to them

Which involved being unkind, rude, scornful, unforgiving and judgmental.

Judge and Judge Not 

For you know what is best

For you know what is humane

For you know no one is perfect

For you know you will one day be in such a mess

Being pregnant before you are married because you were gang raped

Being sexually molested by a family member and suffering in silence

Being a drug dealer because you are looking for money to pay your mother's hospital bills

For there is always more than meets the eye

So even when you judge because you can judge

Don't be too quick to judge.

Judge and Judge Not

Because my story is not yours

Don't be a further cause of my pain and hurt

Rather offer a hand of kindness and love

To ease the pain 

And develop hope and trust.

Finding You

Finding you is like finding gold

The excitement one would get is unexplainable.

Finding you is like finding silver

A metal that makes money, you could imagine its worth

Finding you is like finding diamond

The value and worth it has... many can't afford it but many long to have it

Finding you is like finding an oasis in a desert

A desert in which you had lost all hope of ever being found

A desert in which you had accepted what would come your way for you saw no chances of survival

A desert in which the sun had sought out to kill you by dehydrating you with heat

But that oasis rejuvenates you,

Makes you feel like you have the power to fly out of the desert yet you do not have a plane

The sight of that oasis is the beginning of hope

The beginning of survival

Finding you is like finding a shelter for your head on a rainy day

When your carton on the cold street corridors are drenched in water

And all your clothes socked up in water

Finding you Oh Jesus Christ cannot be compared to finding anything most valued in the world

Finding you is finding Joy

Finding you is finding Love

Finding you Oh My Lord,

Is finding Life.

The Life of a Flower

A little bud it was,

Not ugly nor pretty,

Not hidden nor was it easily spotted.

It's colors remain to be unknown,

All she could do is wait,

Wait for it to mature and grow,

To stretch out itself,

Revealing it's true self,

For all to admire,

For all to take in it's sweet scent,

For bees to come visit it,

To be welcomed warmly with plentiful of sweet nectar.

But soon it starts to wither,

It's color dulls off like a beautiful lady that develops wrinkles,

And less people see the glamour and beauty it once had.

Even bees stop paying it visits,

For there is no longer any sweet smelling and sweet tasting nectar.

The flower then losses its life with each passing minute and hours later it dries up and falls to the ground,

Now to serve another purpose to the ecological system,

To help the tree from which it came from

By being manure.

And soon arises another bud,

A bud bound to suffer the same fate

As the bud of the little she.

Great and New Ideas

Great and New ideas are born when you interact with the environment.

When you interact with the environment and realize what it does not have, and is in need of,

When you interact with the environment and you have something to offer it, that it does not already have,

Or When you interact with the environment and you have an offer for it, that is better than what already exists.

Great and New ideas are born when the carrier of the vision for a better tomorrow is not afraid to dream,

To dream bigger than his own problems,

To dream bigger than his own IQ,

To dream bigger than what the society expects of him,

For his success story involves him fulfilling his purpose for being on earth,

Rather than his academic achievements,

His social class,

Or attaining the highest degree for being prestigious.

Great and New ideas are born when you are not afraid,

Fear is not in your vocabulary,

The fear of failure,

The fear of being judged for your outspoken mind,

The fear of the unknown,

The fear for not being recognized for your Great and New idea,

For all that would not matter,

Because Great and New ideas are born from a self actualized person.

A person who is not under colonization,

A person who has an independent mind,

The mind to make his own decisions,

The mind to known that for every decision made he is accountable for them,

The mind to stand up strong for his own thoughts,

To not be intimidated,

To hold his head high,

But still hold integrity and humility,

Peace and acceptance,

Equality and Justice,

For Great and New ideas are born when you bare virtues not vices,

With weaknesses that are strengths,

Still human,

A humanitarian,

A mother,

A father,

A sister,

A brother,

A priest,

A pastor,

Great and New ideas are born by me and you.
