A Decieving Fear

Pain, Loss, Compassion are a few.
Feelings bound up tight.
Knowledge, Understanding, Acceptance.
Things I know are right.

Keep the tides in check.
The ever growing wall of fear.
Hold down the powers on deck.
Tightening its overbearing grasp.

It's there in the distance.
A faint tinkling you hear.
Just noticing its existence.
It's just ask quickly blocked out.

Flooding over your entire being.
All previous awareness snuffed out.
The sense of time is fleeing.
You can no longer hear the shout.

Welling up inside of you.
Tension has wound up every muscle.
Anger, frustration, and fear are a few.
Feelings that are now presiding in you.

The grasp of fear itself works on.
Building up the resistance of hearing.
That the lies love to feed upon.
Believing in the fear now growing.

It winds and weaves through and through.
Until it's now fully apart of you.
Dark, foreboding fear is now the only view.
Of the inner workings now seen.

There it is again.
A faint tinkling is breaking the silence.
Shedding light on this sin.
That's taken root inside.

The sound of shattering glass.
A noise so deafeningly loud.
The sound of truth outlasts.
The shrills of the lies being uprooted.

Relief, joy and truth are a few.
Feelings now rooted inside.
Finally realizing what is true.
Happiness can now reside.

The Blessings of Life

I find as the dust settles.
On that winding back road.
With the rustling of a herd.
Life doesn't get better then this.

I find as the sun wakes the day.
Brimming the vacant horizon.
As color burst through the sky.
Beauty cannot compare to this.

I find as the heat of the day peeks.
Sweat breaking the brow.
Muscles strained from use.
Nothing beats a hard days work.

I find the satisfaction of growing.
Tilling and breaking up the soil.
There ain't nothing can come close.
Reaping in the fruits of your own labor.

I find as the sun sinks in the sky.
As the cool evening covers the heat.
Sitting on a porch drinking tea.
I can appreciate my family a lil' more.

I find the laughter of children.
The talk of the older and wiser.
As you smile at your loved ones.
You lack nothing in life.

I find as I lay down in bed.
Before I can find sleep.
I pray for Yah to grant me another day.
To appreciate the blessing of life.

A People Awakening

The plans have been set in motion.
The laws have been passed.
We sit in wonder at such.
Ignorance and Naiveté.

In is brought chaos and destruction.
Believing they've brought peace.
How ignorant are the masses.
Following with blind eyes.

Sitting in their ranks so high up.
Looking down at the people.
People who gather together.
Trusting in a false leadership.

A people who think they are heard.
Among the noise and chaos.
Voices are drowned out.
Never truly being heard.

How do you reach the ears?
Of those who aren't truly listening.
How can you hope to change?
Those who don't want it?

Instead they slowly lift the sides.
Of our ever shrinking box.
Suffocating on thickening lies.
Every movement being constricted.

Panic starts to set in.
Are you beginning to see?
Through the fog which blinds.
A veil is being slowly lifted.

Your ears are no longer restricted.
Your eyes see clearly.
Your thoughts are yours again.
You've been awakened.
