Good Friday

In the garden, The Christ did pray

For strength ardent to bear pain's stay.

Gethsemane, the Master kneels

His close aides lie in heavy sleep;

To ask to be with fond appeal.

The soldiers come to seize the king;

The Christ now cries in pain so deep.

Judas now sums betrayal fling.

A kiss laid sound to tell on him;

Jesus is bound with scornful whim.

From high priest to Pontius Pilate;

Then off they go to a mock trial;

Conspire to show with sure denial.

An impromptu in vile charade.

Scourged to appease the crowd's frenzy;

Death sentence flawed in power play

As Roman law primes unjust stay.

The Christ was seized with mad cruelty.

Pierced mortal tucked with painful taunts.

Thirty lashes upon the flesh;

A mocking clash of bloodied mesh.

Crowned with thorns plucked from marine haunts;

The Christ bears strong with humble will.

Then the mocked king is forced to walk;

Heavy cross stings the burdened stalk.

Along the way, The Christ meets those

The route is long with steps uphill;

Three times He falls, and feels the whip;

Cruel soldiers all who torments heap.

To death's alley, to sure recourse.

On and on He bears the wood cross

To save the damned that evil signs.

Who did display the pains and ghost.

Golgotha's space, nails are driven,

The cross is raised in cruel action.

The Son of Man prays for mankind,

Law without flaw, it's heaven's will.

Two thousand years have come and gone;

The Christ did peer to times forgone.

We must not harm but heed love's call.

Good Friday psalm to each and all,

Love frames a law: "Who harms, must heal." --

The way ahead is beyond hate;

The Christ that wills love and beauty.

Let love break bread as grace now plates.

The Living Christ offers to each

The message comes to one and all;

Love's fine reprise: Love each to each.

Let love bring light to live and learn;

Love is the sum of love that calls.

Go deeper still to know and see:

Grace sets you free to know your place,

To simply be love's happy face.

Join the lovely way to love's cheer.

Heed this story just to be clear;

The steady art that true love knows!

Follow your heart and it will show

Let peace bring sight for grace soothes yearn.

Why Should I Vote?

Hey guys! Today I just wanted to talk to you all about a very important topic. As many of you may know, I live in the wonderful Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago and it is an important day because today is Election Day!

I was thinking; Why Should I Vote? I'm only eighteen anyway, I don't have to vote... And many other thoughts that just kept me relaxed, my views to myself and my mouth shut.

          Over the past few months, maybe even years I was very certain that when I am able to vote, I would not! At the time my reasons seemed as though they were ‘on point’ because it made sense to me. Anyone who asked, I told them that I am not going to vote because there will be corruption in the government no matter who is in charge, that the government would always be flawed!
          Over the past few days, I have been observing everyone’s views from their very opinionated Facebook statuses and the way in which they speak, I’ve listened to the speeches of the different parties, not just one and I observed the way in which they promoted themselves and logically evaluated what would be the most beneficial choice for my own future then I started to think of the future of our country. We have to put all peer pressure and influences aside and sit and observe. When I observe something to make a decision, I never start leaning in one direction because we can be consciously or unconsciously biased in one direction or the other. I believe that this is one of the reasons that I always help my friends and others through many things they go through and through arguments, because we must learn to be able to see from every possible perspective presented or swept under the carpet. I grew up with family and others telling me that I am wise above my years and I believe that this stemmed from simply developing an open frame of mind and reasoning.

I then realized, after listening to these different rallies and speeches and observing the way they each interact, that I began to be moved toward the direction that I see would do more for us, for the betterment of our country and each citizen in it.

I then sat down and thought to myself about the things that previously influenced my decision. And it’s only now that I actually answered my own questions... I realized that yes, no one is perfect therefore there may be flaws no matter what. If we are hungry and are presented with three apples and are told to choose one, of these apples, one has a hole in it and another as a scratch and a hole, while the other has a scratch. Automatically, we would examine these apples and choose which one looks best to us i.e. the one with the least flaws and we would eventually see that choosing the apple with only the scratch is best because although it is flawed, of all the choices presented to you this had the most goodness within it. Therefore, at the end of the day, we would always want what’s best and we, as citizens of Trinidad and Tobago and you as a citizen of your country have the right to vote for who you think would do the best at leading and ensuring that the future of our country is secured and moving forward.
          I realized that I have a right to vote and I am very lucky to have this right that our ancestors fought for and died fighting to obtain. We need to realize that our opinion matter and actually contributes towards such an important decision in our country and we should not let the efforts of others that was shed just for us to come this far and have these privileges be in vain, we must practice our right. Even if we don’t want to go campaigning and debating, then you don’t have to, you can be bold and proud of your decision or you can vote in your privacy. Don’t be bought by bribery or peer pressure or based on what you hear. Do your research, you can pray about it if you need to, figure out what your views are and let’s do this together for the betterment of our lives and the lives of our loved ones.

Back To School!

Are you all excited to get back to school!??

No?.. Why not? Is it because of the; Waking up in the morning, the teachers that don't like you, the homework that you don't want to do etc?

Well don’t worry about it too much, I’m sure you’ll live!

…What? you don’t believe me huh.. It’ll kill you to get your lazy butt out of bet in the morning huh? Well listen up, let’s look at this thing a whole different way shall we…

Personally, I find myself being a little- no, quite a bit lazy over the vacation/in the summer, and going back to school is a good way for me to have no other choice but to get my gorgeous little butt out of that bed that somehow seems to get more comfortable on school days. It gives me a reason to get out of my house that I’ve been in way too much for quite a while, even if you have been out of your house a lot and got to sleep in, waking up early can feel good if you wanted it to. When you wake up early, you wake up to fresh, clean air that haven’t been so contaminated with all the day’s activities yet so when you wake up, be grateful for life then take a very deep refreshing breath and exhale that baby with a sigh of relief! And don’t forget to wake up with nice frame of mind to get that day started.

Last term wasn’t so good? Those grades wasn’t so hot? Who cares! Well.. you should care but not to keep yourself down.. It is a fresh new semester/term and what’s done is done, If your grades were good or bad, now is your chance to show them what you’ve got, make them wonder if you experienced some amazing epiphany over that vacation by scoring even higher, walk into that school with confidence and if you’re having trouble with it you can start where you’re comfortable, maybe make a fashion statement or make new friends! You’re stuck there anyways so why make it more tiring with a negative mindset.. Even if it’s not paradise, you can make it not be as bad as you thought it was before.

How about finally getting to see all your friends!! That’s always a plus! New school? Great, a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, friends with great personalities. Use this new semester to try new things and learn from the mistakes you made last semester. Be inspired to feel inspired!

People always ask my how I’m always so positive etc. and I have so much that I would like to share with you to inspire you and make you smile but then I’d just be here typing non-stop for days. But if you guys would like me to make it a series here on this blog, I would be happy to. And when you’re feeling a bit too lazy to read, I’ll also make an exciting school series on my YouTube so you can sit back, Enjoy and Be Inspired!

Till next time, stay beautiful!.. and handsome ;)

Natural Beauty!

Beauty can't get more natural than the Beauty of Nature!

Have you ever stopped for a few minutes and take in a bit of the beauty all around you? like really look at it.. Just taking a slow stroll around the garden or a calm walk in the park can really relax you. Maybe you're a bit stressed out and need a simple reminder of the beauty in life. Sometimes we take the little things in life for granted but we can always see the beauty if we really want to and not just look at all the bad things. I want you to do this for me.. The next time you go somewhere I want you to see the world differently, through eyes that can see the beauty in this world!

My Love

@Jason Stoic Espada - My Love

I've been searching for the girl who mattered in my life,
The one I could call my potential wife,

But everyday it seems that you always got to fight,

For the one you love the most but for her I'll do it right,

I'll try to get this girl no matter what's the price,

I may pay with my heart but what I'll gain would be so nice,

Though I've been treated like ice, Cold as the winter nights,

I've been beaten down before but for her I'll do it twice.

I Finally Found Myself Now

I finally found out where I belong,

Forgive me that it took so long,

I just needed time to find the true me,

Nevertheless I'm finally free.

All the days that it seemed I hid,

Looking for my talent is what I did,

Lots of times it seemed like a painful chore,

Yet I pursue the answer even more.

Forever now I'm acknowledged by,

Others on this earth who also try,

Understanding their place in this world,

Not knowing themselves those boys and girls.

Why I’m A Bit Frustrated!

Blog Schedule 2015

I created this blog with the intention to be committed and to keep it professional, up-to-date and most of all, fun!

I think one of the first things that I should establish to have a well-organized blog, is a posting schedule!

I Am The Grim Reaper

I am the one who is always there
Anytime your end is oh so near,
My job I tell you can be so fun
Taking the souls of the innocent.
However, my job can also be
Indulging in the souls of those who do infamy.
Generally, if doing evil is your goal,
Rewarding It'll be when I take your souls.
