Memory


I don`t want to be a memory
I don`t want
To be remembered
Only after the dirt will have
Crumbled over my
Lifeless body

I don`t want to be a memory
Please Lord,
Don`t let that tragedy befall me
Don`t let me be a victim
Of dead personalities

Remember me
And recognize me
Cherish me now
And appreciate me
Stand by me today
And let us chart this journey
Together in strength
And unity

But please, don`t archive me
And lock me in the vault
Of forgotten memories

My Story


You don`t know my story
You`ve never listened
To my song
You`ve only choose
To accuse me
Of all the things I’ve
Done wrong
But I’m here by faith
It is the only thing which
Keeps me going on

Many days I can`t lift my eyes unto the hills
Because they are heavy
With tears
So I choose to get down
On my knees
And cried to the only person
I knew would understand
The language of my tears

But you see
You`ve never had trouble
And you`ve never had pain
You`ve never been out
Of water
And just dying for the lord
To send some rain

You`ve always had people
That cared about you
So you`ve never felt ignored
Every now and then
So you can stand there
And pretend
But the lord is my witness
Because he`s the only one there
When I’m having sleepless nights

So when you see me smiling
Smile with me
And if the Holy Spirit prompts you
Pray for me
Because there is nothing stronger
Than a Christian family

Lord I give you all
My praises
And rejoice thankfully
That throughout my storms
You calmed the mighty winds for me

Poverty


All my life I’ve lived
I toiled and suffered
And battled it daily
Poverty is a demon that deprives you
Of everything you have

Poverty, poverty
I lived in poverty
I have felt the shame and disgrace of poverty
 I have felt the brutal assault of reality
When it comes to poverty
My very life is the perfect example of poverty

I yearned for riches
But none would come
My way
All I see is just poverty
Rearing its ugly head everyday
Poverty, oh my lord

Why me? I often asked
Only wishing that this
Would soon pass
But it forever lingers
With no intent of relief
Is causing me too much grief

Poverty, poverty
Need I say more?
Well it seems I will
Have to remain poor
