A Noble Cause for a Noble Death

I met this man who lived for people
He ignites them to follow the call
He is using the mightiest swords
To lift up faith with his holy words.

Like a shelter to keep them from harm
During darkest nights, they will feel warm
Like a shield to protect his people
Keep everyone safe within hiss wall.

When we feel pulled in bow and arrow
Pushed on better things, launch the arrow
He destroys demons using spear
Telling us there's nothing to fear.

Had followers as his companions
Encountered bad guys who break unions
Despite bad deeds he gave forgiveness
Jesus Christ's death has shown Godliness.

I admire this man with a noble cause
Who is triumphant despite his loss
His end started the beginning
Faith is restored in human beings.

The Story of Jim (Poem)

There is this man, whose name is Jim
He's big, fat, doesn't go to gym
Society sees: A man of food
Society can't see that he's good.

Jim is kind and generous man
He offers food to everyone
He's not greedy, gives more to poor
He knows they need it more for sure.

Seen as lazy, fat in physique
They cannot see he is unique
There's value inside gift wrappers
Don't judge the book by their covers.

Mister Jim's sick of society
Doesn't follow the views of many
He, who joins the crowd, are like them
He, who joins the good, are not damn.

He decided to live by his rules
Doesn't let people feel like fools
He, who does good things, is just fine
He, who seeks good in life, shall find.

I once got food from Mister Jim
I have learned to give thanks to him
I'm one of the children in streets
Before my adoption and treats.

Thank you Mister, I'm doing good
I also share to people my food
Taught me: Giver than receiver
Let the society receive from giver.

Your last words still struck me:
"Choose happiness, not misery.
I'd rather die and be happy,
Than to live long and feel lonely."

Ate much despite society's views
Lived well before saying 'adios'
Your life to us is a message
Let's live our own and do not judge.

10 Years From Now

In the subject 'Professional Development and Personal Relations' (PDPR), we are asked to make a two minute speech that talks about how see ourselves as a person 10 years from now. I wonder how can a speech be in a short time, but I am relieved for not having to memorize a speech for a longer time.

Here is my speech:

"How do I see myself 10 years from now? Let me start my speech by sharing to you something. When I was a child, I saw myself to become an Engineer years from those days. However, years later, my dreams shifted to becoming a chef of my own restaurant. And here I am now, I am a fourth year student of the course BS Accountancy with dreams of becoming a Certified Public Accountant.

It seems like the way I see myself in the future is pretty different to what God wants for me. I dreamed of becoming an Engineer or Chef but the Lord brought me into something bigger, being a CPA of the future.

Now, I can see my future quite brighter, I believe 10 years from now, I am a Certified Public Accountant with the number 6-5-4-3-2-1.

Earning a 6 digit salary, in 5 working days, riding a 4 wheeled car, living in a 3 storey house, with 2 lovable children, and 1 faithful, beautiful life time partner.

That's all, thank you. :)"
