Silent face’s at cross-roads….
The truth have been buried!
Revelation is dieing to stay alive
Grown are the ears of the secrets
The world deserves to know…..
Who shall i fear ?
OUT OF THE DEPTHS MY CRY
GIVE EAR AND HEARKEN…….
THIS IS OUR SWAN SONG
THIS IS OUR SENSES’ STILLNESS
THIS IS THE SIGH OF OUR SPIRITS;
‘THAT WE SHOULD’
CARRY IN OUR WORLDS THAT FLOURISH
OUR WORLDS THAT HAVE FAILED!
‘OUR WORLDS THAT HAVE FLOURISHED
SHOULD BE THE BURDEN BEARERS OF
OUR WORLDS THAT HAVE FAILED’!!!!!!!!
Inspired by the insesitiveness of Government and Cooperate bodies/ individuals to the plight
of the oppressed tribes and people of Niger Delta Nigeria.

TRUST and BETRAYAL
Self realization and it’s effect on our conscience
only helps to exonerate TRUST for it’ age-long
alliance with BETRAYAL!
While TRUST goes to sleep, ever trusting that
everything is alright; BETRAYAL schemes its
secret plans in the dark, taking TRUST unaware!
That Judas Iscariot, a trusted disciple of Jesus
Christ, after betraying his master sentenced himself
to DEATH! is enough testimony!!
Let TRUST continue in it’s Humble way’s;
BETRAYAL definitely will destroy it’s self………….
Christ Soulja
Imagine!!!
100 thousand poets; from different continents, different countries, different cities, speaking
different dialects but with the same GOAL, empowered by a VISION, now on a MISSION to
cause a positive CHANGE!!! using words, aiming at the fundamental; the mind set! to change the way we think so as to influence our behavior, our thoughts, how we communicate, relate and
coexist with people of different religion, school off thoughts, tribes etc. to imbibe good MORALS and VALUES! leaving behind all the pain life turned to us, A total reorientation of the mind set!! Our target being the entire
human race!!! No body but our selves can bring about this CHANGE we all so desire……….
Who’s gonna be the first to blast? Micheal? Ken? Ellis? no we dont need names, we need like minds! This can only happen if it starts with you, you,you and you, Look at me! it’s you am talking to…………..
Christ Soulja
