Free Fall

Now is the time

Now is the time

What will the end result be?
Will I die or will I wake?
Questions that haunt me with every decision I make
Like will I make it to heaven if I stay this way?
Will I suffer much if I put it away?
What is the end result?
It’s all to what end?
The end of a matter is supposed to be better than when it first began.
So what then will I do?
I ask myself again
Again and again and again
It seems like I’m being profane
Ii can’t go back to what I was
Neither can I stay
The very ground I stand on is quicker than clay
Stop confusing me please!
I keep the voices at bay
Only I don’t know who is talking
Is it my Saviour or my shame?

The ground I stand on quivers
Do I move on higher?
I stand, I fall, I shiver
If only hope could hold me now
I slip, I fall, I can’t get up
I think I’m lost right now
But there’s something in the distance
Something calling out loud
Wait! Wait!!
I shout and shout
It seems I’m talking so loud.

Now the ground shatters
I am lost in a free fall
Just falling…
Deeper…
Deeper…
Further…
Further…
Into the dark
I give up
I close my eyes
I surrender
I give up
I begin to close my eyes

Then I’m struck by lightening!
I find myself on a road now
Gripping something so strong
The grace which I once lost
I look in front of me
There’s a road to my left
Another to my right
A decision, I must make now
A path to life, and a path to death
I smile now, for I know the decision to take
The decision is mine.

Here’s PROOF!

The next time you walk up to someone and boast you can do something, I am probably guessing the next words that will effortlessly flow from the lips of this someone would sound something like Prove it!

So here’s a thought, you claim to have a dream and truthfully I do not believe you but before you ramble on with your history, prospects and all what-nots

Here’s how you can prove it

Be quiet enough to hear Him lead you

Be arrogant enough to believe it

Be patient enough to plan for it

Be bold enough to act on it

Be crazy enough to pursue it

and Be wise enough to know its not about only you

See the brighter side they say
Stay positive they’ll always remind
Be good! That’s the urge
Stand for what and who you believe in
That’s good and the great but
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith
That’s the truth and the way

Religion versus Jesus

Days of the law when it was wrong

To do things out of the law

Keep the Sabbath day holy

Not even to give a helping hand

 

When your neighbour’s falling

Just stand watching and praying

Tie the word up on my head

To show the world how much I’ve read

 

Read they do, to do they don’t

But not to say I’m doing or I do

That was how it was

When we lived by the law

 

They called others blind

Just because they have eyes

Even without seeing to have a vision

Veiled faces is all I see running this race

 

Whereto I’m sure they don’t know

What for than the prize

How much can they give?

Self-righteousness all they got

 

Who do we want to show?

Christ they say they know

With this kind of life

Impossible!

 

He hates to see veiled faces

Calling others blind

He hates to see the deaf

Calling others dumb

 

He alone is the truth

Who knows the way and can show the way

You’ve got to follow His lead

For he is the way and the life.

ANXIETY THIEF

I thought I had it all but no!

I did not have it all and truly it drove me crazy

I could write into the future

Yeah, like jump on my literary time-machine and write the future

Just like they do in the science fiction movies

I could write to describe how anxious people could be

How they loose their strength for the present, worrying about the future

How they ignorantly shift their sorrows into tomorrow

Their anxiety, their underlying curse

But the truth is we are not in the future

and the anxious one is me Continue reading →

THE MAN OF WAR

I see Ten thousand Chariots, One Rider.
Blood stains on His robe drenching,
Blood Veins in His arms bulging,
Vigilance in His gait springing,
Fire in His eyes blazing.

I see judgment on the Horizon.
Leviathan trembling. Ashtheroth shivering. Continue reading →

It’s a lonely empty world out there!

Sure it makes no sense to your ears

‘cos statistics hold sufficient claim to a certain 7 billion souls walking the globe

Yet like my creator all I see is a big void

An empty nothingness, wish I could call forth the brightness like He did but I’m no Edison

No! I simply do not have that capacity, I am an inductor

You see the very same curse that robs this world of its fullness

is what right now invades my consciousness

I am living proof to the thick darkness that lurks in obvious sight

permit me to call this day-night. Continue reading →

PERFECT ME…

1 Comment

thinking

I am so perfect, in fact I have never and will never see anybody as perfect as me.

When I make a mistake; I’m only human, when others make a mistake; they are careless,

When I fail a course; the lecturer failed me, when others fail a course; they are dull,

When I eat all d food; I’m hungry, when others eat all the food; they are greedy,

When I come to church late; I was busy, when others come to church late; they don’t fear God,

When I win; I am obviously the best, when others win; they are lucky,

When I shout angrily; they provoked me, when others shout angrily; they have no self control,

When I fall asleep; I was tired, when others fall asleep; they are lazy,

When I drink garri; I’m being content, when others drink garri; they are broke & poor.

When I play games; I’m relaxing, when others play games; they are wasting their time.

Can’t you see how perfect  I am & flaw full everyone else, that’s why I have a right to criticize everyone ( and maybe even God)

Perfect me … Or …is that, insensitive & judgmental me.

–William Udousoro
