The Soldier

Tenacious in effort & 

Blessed with true friends, 

He sees Truth in sight, 

His spirit is strong & 

immense in might! 

Humility is his belief, 

Seeks positive action and will,  

Leaving weakness in its wake, 

The negative he will kill, 

For his friends sake!

His goodness isn't weak, 

His judgement isn't wrong, 

Indeed he is sensitive, 

But impeccably strong! 

His standards are high, 

Though he is meek, 

His heart doesn't lie, 

His mind isn't weak! 

Judgement is not for him, 

Its the Truth that bears weight, 

Solid and centred within, 

Seeks love and not hate! 

He finds the life and the way, 

He has ascended, 

Every moment of every day, 

Truth and life blended, and indeed splendid! 

In life courage is a must, 

Working hard he sweeps the dust, 

From the soles of his feet, 

No lies, he does not cheat, 

He is complete in feeling the heat, 

The heat is the litmus test, 

Are you crippled or the best? 

The best is the lowly, 

The best is the meek, 

The best is least, 

The humble is the peak! 

Poetry is masculine and grounded, 

Poetry is words from the heart, 

The Psalms by God were founded, 

Prayers and poetry are never apart! 

King David was a soldier, Saint Velimirovich a poet, St Ephrem The Syrian's hymns to paradise, don't you know it?! Like the soldier they wrote directly to God, 

Please Lord, fore the soldier knows You have strength to give! 

Faith in His Resurrection, 

Is the Way to live!

Domination is insecurity,

Subjection is incorrect, 

Control is frailty, 

Imposition is disrespect! 

The soldier wins every time, 

The soldier is free, 

The soldier is bold in his humility! 

The soldier is the greatest, 

He is the least, 

He is like a child, 

He is meek and mild! 

The soldier is a lion in a cave, rugged and undoubtedly brave, 

He is robust and not naive, 

He is concave, bent over in worship, not to man, but to the Almighty, and when stood upright, he is not an ego, but in awe of the greatness he sees, 

The birds and the bees, 

plants and the trees, 

light of the sun, 

mountains and lanes, 

oceans and the seas, 

bolders and grains.

Moonshine is weak, compared to the bright sun, the sun has won as its light is stronger and its rays travel longer, 

The Truth is not hidden in darkness, 

But shows its face in the light, 

His silence speaks faithful volumes,

Annihilating evil, 

Annihilating the lies, 

The Truth is not a facade, 

The Truth is not pretence, 

The Truth says what He is to your face, 

Doesn't sit on the fence! 

No hidden secrets, 

No hidden flaws, 

No hiding,

No trapdoors! 

The soldier sees the good, 

The war is in the mind, 

For the sighted and not the blind, 

The blind are those without the truth within, 

Who have no true fight, 

The blind are the losers, 

The losers are the choosers, 

Who chose hate over love, 

True love is from up above, 

And descends from the Dove! 

The soldier will always be here, 

Present and correct, 

Left, right, left, right.. 

To fight the hardest fight, 

He salutes the brave and the bold, 

The young and the old, 

The ruler and the meek... 

He's not perfect, nobody is, 

He has weakness, 

But is not weak! 

He accepts his flaws, 

He is sometimes wrong, 

But, 

For When I am weak, then I am Strong!!! 

Strength & Love

When a man does what he wants and can see the key in life, 

When his feet move with purpose and his thoughts are clear, 

When grip on the trophy strengthens with every beam of light, 

When he holds his head up high, 

When at home and in life, 

When his heart mends with the simplest touch, 

When he's found his mind and sees his life ahead of him, 

When friends are greater than ever before, 

When mother forgives and father a wonderful cause, 

When brothers and sisters have faith, 

When their worship is on the right path, 

When you choose a road that is straight and narrow, 

When your son carries you in your life, 

When your father lays his hand on your beautiful mind, 

When the bond of them both travels to your soul, 

When it ignites a wisdom of sight, 

When your fingers clutch flowers in the garden. 

You're able to do with the key as you please, 

And open the great door, 

Your feet rise from the ground as does your head, 

Your wounds are healed by his touch, 

And sleep comes within your bed, 

Your home is love, 

Your heart is strong, 

Your friend is your friend, 

Your mind is yours, 

Your mother and father are with you, 

They are the seed and the new shoot, 

And your brother and sister follow the same road, 

When you see what I see infront of me, 

You long to touch it with every finger, 

You see a gift,  

Something that opens the world to love. 

The truth is...

The truth is

The truth always prevails, 

In God we trust, 

And In life courage is a must! 

Evil is recognised

And swiped aside, 

Like a feather to the dust, 

We relinquish the rust!

The measure of a man, 

Is not what he does for himself, 

But, what he does for someone else, 

Out of the goodness of his heart, 

In life, we got to play this part, 

There is an art to life, 

Its called loving kindness, 

From the depths of your soul, 

You've got to control the evil within, 

Break it, crush it, fight the power of sin, 

The wonder of life is the gift it will bring, 

I've been through to hell, 

I've got a story to tell, 

Now I know where I'm headed, 

I'm heaven bound and my feet are grounded and bedded. 

The truth is 

We've got to show remorse, 

In inner strength there is absolute force, 

The force of will, 

The strength of character and guts, 

The heart overcomes all ifs and buts. 

In hesitation to realise you're wrong, 

This is Weakness and for good you're gone! 

The truth is 

The truth looks you in the face with silence and knows, 

Humble, meek, with strength beyond strength, 

No bragging or boasting, 

No to the devil be toasting, 

No two faces, but a straight clear road, 

If you step off it you will be told, 

Cut to the chase, 

The truths face you will face. 

Don't play the righteous card, 

When you're not righteous, 

To be the ace, 

You've got to see the face,

Of Truth and back down! 

Else be annihilated as man,

you're not a boy, 

Only be inebriated with love and joy, 

The truth is

There is always hope, 

Admit your ways and change, 

Change for good! 

Like a boy in the hood, 

Who went the wrong way, 

There is another day, 

No more lies, no more games, 

No more frames or blames, 

The spirit within does rise above it all, 

Its not the best who wins, 

Its the test that brings, 

Character out into daylight, 

And we see your true fight! 

Champions are made from stern stuff, 

Hard to crack, you've got mine, I've got your back! 

A friend in need is a friend indeed! 

Untouchable in honesty, 

Unbreakable in trust, 

The thrust of the truth is, 

Is the crux of the matter, 

If you don't get it, 

Your dreams will shatter, 

Starting fresh is a good thing, 

Change of heart and a change of mind, 

You'll see a new life, with new eyes of a beautiful kind! 

Respect 💪🏻

Respect is being humble, 

Respect is being grateful, 

Respect is action, 

Not just words in transaction!

Respect is selfless, 

Respect is courteous, 

Respect is strong mentality, 

Not bullying, cowardice or brutality.

Respect is positive, not a negative way of living, its a practical and accepting method of giving. It's not taking and using or abusing, its polite, its welcoming and its helping, and it's choosing winning and it's never losing.

Being the best is a test of pride, does your ego expand or do you let humility stride? Fore nobody is perfect, nobody is king, we all have weakness, we all have limitations, respect is the greatest of qualifications!

Go forth with courage and love in your heart, but from arrogant pride steer clear and far apart.

Accept respect and not a self centred self, rejection comes from a natural selection in stealth. I need peace in my mind and comfort inside, I back off from people who do not abide, by a code of conduct I conduct myself by, as parasites, aggression, filthy narcissistic obsession, is the opposite to my own personal progression!

That all said and done, its very simple at heart, its an action, its a value, its a noble art! Treat people the way you want to be treated! In this way respect will never be defeated! 

Battered and Fried (The Opposition)

This B team woz

Bragging n boasting,

Its us who was hosting,

In our manor and our land! 

The arrogance, the nerve, 

This behaviour, I could not understand!

The game began, 

They looked mediocre at best, 

A battle royal, a royal rumble, 

Now I thought, their ready to crumble, 

We went ahead in humility, 

They wouldn't pass their test! 

With strength WE did the rest! 

Fired up, they got robust,

Our team hard as nails feathered the dust! .. shook off the rust! 

Our Goals rippled the net

Goal after goal,

13 in all.. unlucky for some!

AK47 kalashnikov fun!

Their heads went down, 

The mind games had ended! 

They lacked heart and fight, 

They gave up, they surrendered! 

They weeped and cursed, and lost, 

Victory is sweet when its a win at all cost! Now the moral of this tail is the humble will win, we got through it, through the thick and the thin! 

Ride to Paradise

I fell off my bike, 

Perpetual motion, 

Not a clue, not a notion, 

Left unharmed, unscathed

I stood upright, 

By God I was saved. 

Fear not, 

With God's angels with me, 

and new bike I will travel, 

To Heaven from Home, 

I have life to unravel. 

3 friends were there, 

1 had my back, 

The sun warm and breeze cool, 

I panicked, felt under attack. 

But, I smile and laugh now, 

About lessons from life, 

I ride with God

up the ladder of Divine Ascent, 

passed those demons

Its the wheel that hell bent. 

The wheel of life, 

I Must keep going, 

Keep peddling, 

Keep striving, 

With the Word that Im riding. 

Nothing by accident, 

Nothing by chance, 

Its all there infront of me, 

All to enhance. 

The wheel of life, 

Its The Cross that I bear, 

I fly with my bike, 

With safety and care. 

I touch the stars, 

Its Heaven I need, 

Fear not friends, 

The Word will succeed! 

Destiny

We've got a story to tell, 

Now we know each other well, 

We can express and confess, 

That hardship and stress. 

Mentality is hard to understand, 

Go to the root of life, 

The seed of the trauma, 

Speak out and

nurture the flora and the fauna.

Like a plant we grow with love and respect,

And flourish with calm kindness and not neglect,

We've got to learn from each other, 

With less ignorance and you'll find, 

Broaden your horizons with an open heart and open mind, 

Understanding will lead the way, 

To a life without isolation, 

And a beautiful day. 

Bi polar, Schizophrenia, Depression and Anxiety, 

Autism & Aspergers and all matter of variety, 

Alcoholism, Drugs, this is the Mentality of society, 

Its not unusual, so accept our brains, 

Accept us as people without stigmatised chains. 

Don't look down, 

On us as individuals, 

We dont want to be pitied or feared, 

We're just like you, 

With fight, flight and freeze, 

We've been hurt too much, 

So calm down and take ease, 

don't push us away as 

This causes the battle, 

The adult is created from the baby rattle, 

Crush the stigma and unite and fight, 

Every colour, creed and sex have inner sight! 

Metaphorical blindness kills the joy, 

We're all one in God's eyes, 

So lets employ, 

strength and intensity, 

With our intellectual immensity, 

Humility and a loving power, 

The ingredients of success,

I must stress, 

That utilising the best of each other, 

The ideas, the implementation, 

The business man and the poet, 

the artist, the rapper for those who don't know it, 

the chef and the gardener, 

The nurse and musician, 

The nutritionist... by his own fruition! 

The fitness instructor and psychologist and all the rest, 

These are some of the blessed and best who have passed the literal test! 

One team, one ethic! 

Brothers and sisters in life! 

Love you for being you! 

In life follow not your fear, 

Its your dreams you pursue!
