THE Champions series 63, POEM Titled: Follow Your Heart

 

FOLLOW YOUR HEART

We live in a society

 Where minds are positioned

And our thought conditioned

We’re told what to think and say

What to eat and not to eat

Where to go and not to go

What to wear and not to wear

Our minds are left fallow

Always on the lookout to follow

Unable to make our own choices


As children, we wanted something more

Something more than just warm embrace

We had pictures

pictures of what we wanted once

Stamped to our hearts

We grew up and realized

We had let it go like a common coat

Because we were told…


To follow

Follow the system

Follow religion before conviction

Fashion before innovation

Education before passion

Gratification before distinction

Celebration before determination

Monitivity before creativity


My teacher once said,

Vision precedes competition

Wisdom precedes ambition

Journey not without your brain

Men’s opinions will ruin

But God’s opinion will lift you

Make your decisions and follow your heart.

    Inspiring.
    Often when we come to that valley of decision, we've just got to follow the leading in our heart. And for we with the Holy Ghost, it's a million win.

POEM TITLED: HOME

  This is what we get We know suffering like the back of our palms We know the smell of death better than our farms We know war in sick flesh We know it is in the agonizing screams of mothers and babes We know it is in the guns of soldiers that ever remain fresh Home is a divided populace of meaningless greed Home is pessimism Our fathers fill their bottomless cups with speed They keep pouring, cup after cup until their eyes form a prism This bizarre world do not motivate our mothers to chip in counsel Our families hang loose on the rope of half-light We are left to form roots lighter than parcel We remain buried in the dark, yet they call us children of light What are roots if they strangle you? Who are ancestors if all they do is worsen your narrative? Home at this point is a suspect Our beautiful eyes fear the world We shower them with tears to keep them from running away The fear in our hearts leave the future crooked And whenever we arrive we begin to mend it till we pass away...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 79 TOPIC: JUST BELIEVE

  "Our limitation in life is self-induced when God created us he never placed any limitation in our minds." What we see as limitations today are born from our fear, customs, traditions and popular opinions. If only you can believe enough to take a step in the direction of your dream, you can achieve more than you imagine.  The men and women that invented the gadgets and technological the equipment we use today had limitations all around them but they choose to see only possibilities.  Cast off any thought of impossibility and you'll that the obstacle is just a stepping stone to higher ground. Thomas Edison had a lot of reasons to quit believing that he could manufacture a light bulb, countries like America and others could have stopped trying to lunch rocket into the moon or explore space travel haven met with a lot of failures, but they didn't and today are successful in those areas.  Never! I mean never stop believing in yourself and in your dream....
