Ujamaa Christian Poetry
Can I Live?
Disgusted with the price of fame because it costs too much
Can I live, without individuals saying that I boast too much?
As I get older and slightly wiser I see real truth unfold
Through the eyes of the Spirit, I see a society that has grown so cold
But when I think back on the days of my blood shot eyes
And I think of all the nights my mom prayed and cried
The worst day in Christ is far better than the best day in sin
And being a star to the world is not worth loosing God as a friend.
