I made a mistake 

When I accepted that bribe 

In turn for my silence 

My people suffer 

I am to blame 

Poverty amasses me 

When I should have spoken up 

I took the bribe 

My silence was bought forever 

Now I am helpless 

In uncertainty and waiting to die 

But I will die a failure

SACRED SURRENDER

-

  In the sacred hush, my voice will rise, A melody of worship, a soulful prize. "I will not be silent," my pledge to declare, A hymn of devotion, a fervent prayer. As long as breath courses through my being, A symphony of worship, forever freeing. "I will always worship You," the solemn vow, In the sacred rhythm, I humbly bow. Here's my worship, an offering profound, A sacrifice of love, in awe I am bound. "All of my worship," echoes in the air, A surrender complete, a heartfelt prayer. Father, receive this hymn, my humble song, In the tapestry of faith, where I belong. "All of my worship," a declaration pure, In Your presence, my devotion shall endure. Burton D'poet

I met her again

  She came around  In astonishment, I strutted  Anxious but still can't speculate  That I was glimpsing at her  The one that once occupied my heart   One I wouldn't go a day without My mind reckoning about Became conscious one day and she was no more  Felt like it was the demise then  Whimpered in distress of what I felt for her  I sobbed cause she never confided in me  Whether she felt the same way too  Vowed to tell me after our last paper  I remember it was UACE but lack wasn't my story  As I never earned an opportunity to see her again  Recall actually the times  Moments we crouched next to each other in class  But it was all in vain as I couldn't have that again  I was hurt beyond repair  In that felt like that was the last time Last time I would love again  With tears receding from my eyes  I saw my world tumble  Existence became ridiculous  As I swore never to love a...

God & Poetry's laughter

-
Image
In shadows cast, a heart so deep, Where laughter's glow is rarely seen, Yet in the gentle words that creep, A smile is born, a light serene. Oh, only God and poetry's art, Can weave such magic in the soul, They know the secrets, each part, To make the broken heart feel whole. In verses, rhymes, and tender prose, The poet's pen weaves dream untold, With ink, emotions freely flow, Like streams of silver, pure and bold. When burdens weigh upon the chest, And tears have soaked the weary face, The poet's touch, a soothing rest, Embraces wounds with a warm embrace. Through stanzas sung, emotions soar, Like birds that dance on a gentle breeze, A symphony of love and more, Unraveling life's mysteries. The humor is hidden in each line, Like hidden gems within the earth, Revealing smiles, hearts intertwine, In joyous union, a rebirth. So let the laughter now arise, From depths where mirth was once confined, For in God's grace and verse's guise, Your heart finds solace...
