Write before dawn, before the sun is bright,

Read constantly and share the light,

Ignite the fire before everyone's sight, 

Tell your story, just the way it feels right, 

Enjoy the process before you go to bed at night.

The Pen is Mightier

The pen is mightier than the sword, 

History is made through each and every word, 

Endless wars destroyed our nations. 

People are still fighting even today,

Everlasting wars and no words to say, 

Nothing will change if people don't change their minds. 

Ink is better spread then blood, 

Spirit of love, peace and joy come like a flood. 

Millions of people have died,  

Infants and moms have cried, 

Groups of individuals have prayed,

Helpless people have cried for aid, 

Terrible wars they've never asked for,

Ignorant people resolve issues through war, 

Everyone should be writing about love, peace and forgiveness,   

Right now let's write about forgiveness, love and kindness. 

The Pen is Mightier 

You Can Still Make It

Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50, 

Another one became a CEO at 50 and lived until 90 years. 

Obama retired at 55, while Trump started at 70, 

Don't worry about the number of your years. 

You're not too early nor too late, 

You're just on a different timezone, 

Your moment is coming, all you have to do is to wait,

Walk with passion you're not in this journey alone. 

Don't worry about what other kids eat at school, 

Don't worry about what other people drive, 

Always be happy that's the rule, 

You will make, you will thrive. 

My Heroes

My heroes come from different places

Yielding their freedom for different faces 

Held hostage because of their races 

Enduring the pain and unattended cases  

Routes they've taken that nobody traces

Overwhelmed by agonising pain that no one embraces  

Everlasting heroes forced in labour and different paces 

Strong heroes enslaved and never recorded in any databases. 

My Heroes

Millennials

The Me Me Me generation, 

The constant screen on your face generation, 

The more confident generation, 

The everything is going to workout generation, 

The more assertive generation , 

Some call it entitled generation, 

Some say it's a more miserable generation. 

It seems like people have more to say,

About this generation we have today, 

The confidence in their investments before they turn grey,

This generation exists to make a better stay,

They are more confident in doing things their own way. 

This can be a genesis of a greatest generation, 

The We We We generation, 

The most knowledgable generation, 

The risk taking generation, 

The most innovative generation, 

The global generation, 

Generation Next, next generation. 

Millennials

Change

Change is coming in your life, 

Things are going to be better if you believe,

I've had my share of ups and downs, 

I've experienced that no matter what it is I face, 

Change is going to come around in due season. 

It is my role as a believer of Christ to give you hope as an anchor for your soul, 

Share with you a Christology that transcends culture,  

Mary's audacity to tell disciples to do exactly what Jesus said, 

Give you peace of God that surpasses all understanding.  

It is my role to respond to a calling upon my life, 

Write things that I want to read, 

Talk life in a lifeless society, 

Motivate people through the demographics of life,

Lay down my life before the foundations of the world. 

Give out what you need the most, 

If it's finance give it away, 

If it's love give it away, 

It will all come back in numbers. 

Change

Stick to the Plan

Stick to the plan you created, 

Plant in the soil you cultivated, 

Stick to the risk you calculated, 

Follow the leads you generated. 

Stick to the Plan 

Do You Eat Food?

Few weeks ago I was walking in a shopping mall, 

I met a promoter who was the funniest of them all, 

Do you eat food? He asked me, 

Who doesn't? I asked him back,

I like the way he gave me a crack. 

I usually don't stop as I'm normally busy, 

Promoters can also make their lives easy, 

I've managed a lot of them I know,

A good and funny approach can lead into a sale,

Be on point, be funny and engaging and stop chasing your tail. 

I stopped because I appreciate the effort he put,

He was young, hungry and learning so I also gave him my input, 

I'm a people person and I like those who try,

In the end we had a great chat, 

I also found out where he was at.  

Do You Eat Food? 

Clean Slate

Each and everyday you wake up in the morning, you are given a clean slate. 

Write something new, something  refreshing, inspiring and breath taking. 

Rewrite history, break a new record, love more, do more and be more. 

Because once you're gone, your chance will also be gone to write on a clean slate.

Straight From The Heart

One of the best things I love about writing,

Is writing straight from the heart,

This way I don't have to think much about what I'm saying,

Writing is more than just a piece of art. 

I write to connect, help and invite people in my world, 

I have my own way that I love to tell a story, 

Words mean a lot, you can make or break people through every word, 

Writing can be a remedy for hurtful ancient history. 

My aim is not to write for the whole world to read, 

But to write to that little boy who needed to hear these words from my lips, 

Be the tool that will fix every broken part and the breath of fresh air that people need, 

Be genuine and unapologetic for telling the truth every troubled and conditioned mind intentionally skips. 

My ancestors used to tell stories straight from the heart, 

They set down around fire, singing, dancing and laughing, 

Telling stories that corresponded with every art, 

As descendants they showed us how to be professionals without any degrees for music, dancing or acting. 

We've complicated things, art is meant to come straight from the heart, 

Doing it with no other hidden agenda but pure love, 

The great start in redoing all this will be, every artist playing their part, 

Hold each other's hand and seeking words of wisdom from above. 

Straight From The Heart

Why We Are Really Here

Sometimes we get caught up in this world's politics, religions, myths and stereotypes to an extent that we forget why we are really here. 

Gifts

The gifts you were given before birth are the very same gifts you should be giving to the world. 

Selection of Images

Memory is a selection of images, some elusive, others imprinted indelibly on the brain, 

We choose which ones to visit from time to time, 

We select good memories, good times just so that we can avoid the ones dressed in pain, 

We want to be free from slavery of our own thoughts, just like how some of us avoid crime. 

We choose the type of people we hangout with,

We, the people with conscience daily seek to do good deeds, 

We choose our own happiness and beliefs just so that we don't choose the myth,

We want to make sound decisions in life so we listen attentively as one reads. 

The images I select are the good ones I call happy memories,

The ones I don't are when life was not very nice to me, not the things I did, 

What gets me really excited is that I have more happy memories and stories, 

I don't wanna brag but I started helping people anonymously since I was a kid. 

I don't like recognition for doing good things, 

I feel like it erases the point why I'm doing it in the first place, 

It is knowing that I'm here in this world for a greater purpose that gives me eagle's wings, 

I leave enough time and room in my mind for creative space. 

I stay in a happy mood so that I can freely create, 

I create happy stories, songs and things that will last for generations to come, 

I moved to Australia just so that I can find that real mate, 

I'm proud of my choices, I'm proud of where I'm going and I'm proud of where I'm from. 

Family of Four

After we arrived at the hospital 

A safe, fast and natural birth brought us someone little

She was born with a sack on her face 

My wife just won a very important race 

We are all really excited about this

This is a moment I wouldn't wanna miss 

A miracle on a Sunday morning 

A quick labour that hardly had any warning 

Big sister Nala came to see her little sister Zara 

They had a play and lots of words to say 

Life is way better than ever before 

Now that we are a family of four 😃

Happy Fourth Wedding Anniversary

I proposed in Singapore, had holidays there and in Malaysia, ate great food, went paragliding and had lots of fun. 

We got married the following year at Poets Lane in the Dandenongs (Melbourne) on the 1st of April 2013. 

1st wedding anniversary we went back to Poets Lane to the same luxurious room we had on our wedding day. 

2nd wedding anniversary we went to Durban at Umhlanga (South Africa) with a pregnant wife that I surprised with another luxurious room near a swimming pool. 

3rd wedding anniversary we were in Hillcrest, with a date box and lots of games to play. 

4th wedding anniversary we went to a beautiful Warrandyte's (Melbourne) restaurant. The fountain and the river perfecting the moment as we enjoyed our meals. 

I brought our traditional and western wedding's albums. We reflected in all the good times we shared over the years. Great memories and stories. 

My wife pregnant with our second baby. We wrote our favourite childhood memories. We also went by the river where I declared encouraging words to our beautiful daughter on the way. Katie and I both wrote her letters. What a great day it was and what a great life I've shared with this gorgeous wife of mine. I'm looking forward to more years to come. 

On this fourth year of marriage, I'm a happiest man than I've ever been. There will be four of us soon. The words are just not enough to describe the joy in my heart.
