the pen missed me - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i haven't picked up the pen for a while,
must be 'coz i haven't smiled in a while,
poetry is my language and voice in written form,
at times an escape from the storm.

i haven't written a poem for quite some time,
most of my latest works over the years had to rhyme,
lyrically flowing over one's lips,
being very careful not to trip.

rhythm and poetry an art form known as rap,
the type of music you won't play if you want to take a nap,
with an upbeat that will make you move you feet,
how powerful is a few words written on a piece of sheet.

this poem i wrote over a couple days,
where i normally would finish a piece the very same day,
must be that inspiration kicked in and then left,
but now i'm finishing off from where i've left.

let me rather conclude,
put another line here as a substitute,
replacing what actually want to say,
and share my heart on another distant day.

time to speak out - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

things i haven't said, i am saying now, things laying on my heart is about to come out, dreams that was so far hidden will be revealed, all the hurt and pain will be exposed and music about all of this will be composed, a poet's journey and his journal on the streets for all to see, no more hiding behind the scenes, the naked truth like ripping off the sheets, laying there vulnerable, grown man crying there's nothing honourable, a lie that comes from generation to generation, a real man don't cry, don't show his emotions

all these years the pen was my voice, the ink my emotions, putting what i feel on paper, hoping anyone can relate, poetry was always my platform, my stage, but at times the mic was taken out off my hands, and i've been silent and none knew what i really feel, walking around with a fake smile, drowning my sorrows in laughter

but it's time to speak out, taking back my voice, speaking the way i know, in written form

this is me coming back on the scene, expect more written word like these...

God Loves you - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

God Loves you; He really does!
If you don't believe it,
Come to us; we'll show you unconditional love,
the way He showed and taught us

God really love you; this is true,
you won't doubt if you know what we know,
ask those who never knew; but now know
you can see it in their eyes; their lives and just the way they glow

so, in closing,
but not the end though,
all want to recommend;
what I want you to comprehend
God love you show much His son died on a cross.
died, rose and ascended so that we can have eternity
an eternity with God, and not an eternity dying,
the choice is ours; live or death; Christ or the world,
make Him Lord and Saviour and have life eternal
confess with your mouth and believe in your heart;
Jesus is God's only begotten son and gave His life;
just for you and me to have eternity;
make that choice today; before it is too late;

we all have a date; a day set out to meet up with death;
and then cross over into eternity,
the choice you make on this side will determine where you will be,
in hell for eternity; or with a Loving God; who dearly love you

choices - Riaan JePro' Davids

when you run away and don't know where to hide

start to compromise and believing all the lies

deep down inside you know something's not right

but things won't change until you take that step to fight

a dangerous place to be when you are alone at night

the enemy is so cunning you won't see him hiding

pulling all the strings of the people who seem to get to you so easily

they break you down, they hurt you so deeply

when gathering all your tears you will fill up the seas

oceans upon oceans of tears lasting a lifetime

you keep on fearing that no one will be hearing

so you put it all down on a piece of paper

hoping one day it will be read

and the world will be introduced and see you

and through your journals get to know the true you

the choices you make

will build or break

uplift or tear down

a dangerous and scary reality

but not everyone sees what we see

and they don't believe that it is real

but one day they will come to see

once they experience the consequences of choice

happiness isn't the goal but it's tempting though

going through life knowing your worth that's the power you need to know

when you experience the joy and see the lessons in the pain

that will bring about positive change

you know you will never be the same

leaving you thankful for the love you gain

how you experience your emotions

all lies in the choices you make

how you view life

how you go through life

how you experience life

is all dependent on a choice you make

is money your lord - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

in a world where money talks, fighting to be your lord, not even a battle much, coz most of us love money way too much, and give in way to easily, you see without it you cannot do anything, that's the believe, misconception, and we all buy into that lie, a doorway bringing us to the point of compromise, it is time that we open up our eyes, and see through all the enemy's lies, so cheap like mcdonald's french fries, but the veil in front of us are held up by the enemy and only he or someone mightier can rip it apart, so let me introduce you to he who loves us so much, that he has done something so uncomprehending, allowing his only begotten son to die for a world that hate him so much, through that act of love we can come to total freedom, but only through his son, yes i am talking about the God who placed everything in it's frame, made a world place humans on it, and breath life into a soil after forming it to a body, the 1st adam, and that 1st adam gave up his birthright, he walked with the most high but access denied after he stepped into the enemy's trap, one choice and he lost it all, but we all lost when adam felled, but thank God we can get that back, and we can come back, we have to make a choice and choose make Jesus lord, confess with your mouth and believe in your heart, so make that choice, to serve money and this world, or to serve the lord...

just have a look - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

things that are true may not seem true, this world sees what it wants to, this world don't want to look in the mirror and see what is real, 'coz once they see what's underneath fear will kick in, and they will be left with a choice where there are consequences, life and death is set before them and they will have to choose, an eternity will be affected, and there will be no second time around, as sure as your feet hits the ground, as sure as the birds fly in the sky, as sure as there will be sunshine after rain, so real and more real are the one who made it all, and he will come to judge a world for all the choices made

i am here to tell you about a father who has mad love, a love so unreal for a people who are unworthy, undeserving, who will have to bow to a king, sooner or later, i will prefer now, 'coz now it will be to my king, 'coz later it will be to a judge who will cast down all who don't know him, so just have a look, look and see that you need him, you need a saviour to save you, we all are born with a ball and chain unseen to the natural, but spiritually we are dead and need cpr, let God breath in you, give you life, adopt you so you can become his child, part of the body of Christ, 'coz Jesus is the way, the truth and the life

i am sorry to say - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i am sorry, but am i really, for actions they say speaks louder than words, words, what are they anyway if they don't have substance, the deeds that validates a man's word, the fruits of his tree not often easy to see, as fruits are not produced instantly, the lies of the enemy is only there to blind you, and always it will be so enticing, luring you to take a bite, and after the 1st bite there will be plenty more, because the one will not be enough, this is an appetite that cannot be satisfied, so change your meal plan, and come to the realisation of the underlining situation

i am sorry to say, but we are living in a world full of broken promises, compromises, lies, and a generation wanting what they believe is rightfully theirs, but if we really care, if we say we love them, then we must tell them the truth by showing it to them, our life and lifestyle the live show that they have automatically gain access to since the day of their birth, we only live once, there is no rehearsals, or second act, some of us are blessed to have the script rewritten, an ending of doom to an eternity of life with the giver of life, Jesus Christ, and there are those who has a second act, died but rose again by the grace of God, so much love this father has, He sent His only begotten son to die for a world unworthy, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life

so the truth is this, our right that we have, is to be out of the presence of God and burning in hell for eternity

and another truth is this, we do not have to end up there

so in closing, live a life that you want young ones to walking in the footprints you are leaving behind you

i'm not sorry to say, i love God!!!
