Expression

        Expression
Come out from your hiding place,
Ye little light of mine,
Showcase yourself for it's right about time,
Express in magnificent splendor,
Because the world awaits.

Many are the famous of the day,
Many are the talented of the hour,
Many are the celebrated of the minute,
Many are the renowned of the second,
They all lack in depth insight,
So they fade away.

For what is the glory of the sun, if it can't illuminate,
Or of what use is a lady bird if she doesn't express good tidings,
You've been emancipated from internal slavery,
So what are you waiting for?

From the realm of the metaphysical,
You have been given enablement,
Far beyond your imagination,
Your time is now.

Express with the majesty of His grace,
Because you're made locally to be enjoyed globally.

Salt of the earth

 Salt Of The Earth
Salt of the earth,
Whenceforth life springs and doesn't cut asunder,
If it weren't for the brine!
Who would i have been?

Light of the world,
You illuminate the darkest paths,
If it weren't for your expressions;
Would I be spectacular?

Flavor of the universe,
Thou hast nurtured me with so much affections,
If it weren't for your tenderness,
Would 'em butterflies ever come alive?

Fluffy and flossy is what i remember of your ebony bosom,
Where I take solace whenever my heart aches,
While you reciprocate with a blossoming smile,
If it weren't for your graciousness,
Would life be meaningful?

Imagine the world without women,
Howbeit, it's going to be a boring and stereotyped one,
For the women are the salt of the earth.

Salt of the earth,
You're God's greatest gift to mankind.
