About Acholam Birago  | Truths lie dormant at the core of our character, suppressed by life's daily journey, repressed by fear's false declaration of power. Their dormancy causes our spirit to sleep in the bed of deception with restlessness as a detriment to the heart. Awakened by God through trial and admonition, Acholam Birago travels through the tunnels of the soul unearthing the purpose planted by the Husbandman in the hearts of His people.Acholam Birago, a name of stability, humility, and victory. A name derived from the lands of Africa, kissed by the Nigerian sun, defined by the tribe of Ibo. A name tagged with a charge to deliver a message to love's vacant territory. Wisconsin-born, Birago spent the first twelve years of his life in the projects of Milwaukee with his mother and siblings. Chicago became a second home as frequent visits to his grandmother, “Ma” warmed his heart with aged wisdom and meals that could only be cooked by the ol' school. Relocation to his father's house gave parental rights to the streets of Los Angeles which instilled its own wisdom into his thirteen year old mind. With the Word as his guide, love as his landscape, and poetry as his vehicle, Birago delivers a message of restoration. His poetry motivates men to move in God, inspires them to proceed in purpose, and empowers them to enrich the lives of others. Inspired by the blossom of character in children, motivated by their struggle under the roofs of conflicted custodians, he strives to restore the love into the hearts of others as God intended. Reaching men and women within their respective roles, Birago pierces the heart, exposing the wounds, so that God may heal. |
Now that you have acknowledged light in me please don’t assume I am light.
For it is possible for light to dwell in darkness
Yet not possible for darkness to dwell in light
As my dark soul continues to journey to light my emotions leave trailsFor it is possible for light to dwell in darkness
Yet not possible for darkness to dwell in light
of sorrow, regret, hurt, pain, shame, deception as well as betrayal
My spirit has too often been dimmed by selfishness
Thoughts ruled by self–entitlement
Soul imprisoned within the boundaries of pride
And although light flashes throughout consistently
There seems to be a short fuse in my patience, which is needed to strengthen my faith
Darkness consumes my heart from failed relationshipsMy spirit has too often been dimmed by selfishness
Thoughts ruled by self–entitlement
Soul imprisoned within the boundaries of pride
And although light flashes throughout consistently
There seems to be a short fuse in my patience, which is needed to strengthen my faith
Darkness rules my mind over past experiences
Darkness wars with my spirit yet its light source will not allow it to be defeated
Even though it feels defeated
Battered and bruised
I somehow rise another day to fight again
And he said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the
power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Surrendered and committed
I pray for each of my steps to be guided throughout the rest of my journeyDarkness wars with my spirit yet its light source will not allow it to be defeated
Even though it feels defeated
Battered and bruised
I somehow rise another day to fight again
And he said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the
power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Surrendered and committed
For the light that I’m destined to become
Shall light the souls of those who choose to travel the same path as I
My journey is no longer for me
Yet it is for God’s glory
As my darkness will soon fade to light
“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.”
As my darkness will soon fade to light
“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.”

Angels post in their positions
Heaven grants its undivided attention
Internal bleeding seals all wounds forming a protection
The sound harmony fills the spirit
Its unique pleasantry is custom for only us to hear it
Angelic stars of the night pay tribute to purpose
A still small voice speaks from within to keep it all in focus
The chanting wind whistles the sound of glory
As the branches from life’s trees dances in rhythm translating a beautiful story
That one must close their eyes in order to read
Tap into the spiritual realm and just breathe
The moon fades to silence as the sun interrupts all thoughts
to give a special announcement
All that makes the visible possible forms in an alignment
The air is of joy as God gives the universe its assignment
Everything is now calm and blissfully mellow
As the first breath is blown into the life of Baby Birago
Acholam Birago
You’ve been lied to, disappointed, cheated on and deceived.
Things you won’t even talk about because no one would believe.
Don’t trip, it doesn’t stop, deception never ends.
It’s going to happen to you time and time again.
You don’t know…we’re living in a world of sin.
And this trust game we play, no one will ever win, or lose.
Try not to be confused.
I guess it’s time for me to break out the rules.
But there aren’t any…
Trust is faith and you have to have plenty.
But not in man
It doesn’t matter if he’s or she’s even a friend.
Walk with me so I can try to get you to understand.
This may strike some of you as kind of odd,
The only secure true relationship we’ll ever have is with God.
So if God doesn’t dwell in yours or their heart then there’s no true bond
Just souls exploring darkness with no light from the Son
He understands what we need and what we’re going through.
For no man can ever do the things that He can do, unless he’s directed to.
Look into my eyes to hear if I’m telling the truth.
Reach into my heart and you’ll find there’s proof.
Trust not that your situation will last forever
And don’t ever get caught up saying, "I would never"
Mess around and get caught up in life’s stormy weather
Before you know it, to the sounds of panic you’re dancing with the devil
For the enemy plants seeds of doubt as his means of being clever
his goal is to weaken our faith, trusting that our trust in God we would neglect
Trusting that our faith will turn to fear when not knowing what to expect
But trust me… OK then trust in God, for truly trusting in Him makes trusting not all that complex.
Lord my heart is opened for I truly trust you,,, so who got next?

Mind over matter or does it even matter
as we watch our worlds shatter
Because games are being played and as our emotions parade
there are realistic decisions to be made…“meaning”
Stop thinking with your emotions while you should be thinking with your mind
Some say love is beautiful ~ Some say love is blind
Because of love... Some say they’ve wasted lots of time
Who’s to blame or is there a blame???
I don’t know, it all appears to be the same.
Who’s to fix it even if it can be fixed???
A troublesome question, let’s not all think too quick.
Smiles to lift the spirits ~ Frowns to down the soul
Now does this even matter if no one has control?
Love was mistaken now a lonely heart is awakened
while Sex is being used as a power tool
That many are losing themselves trying to rule.
Just remember one thing... Somebody has to play the fool.
Love is a gamble... please believe it,
You crap out and now your world is scrambled.
Love is lost, yet at whose cost?
Now, one wants to save the world
But the world could care less about that one
No disrespect, you need a reality check
You’re angry and filled with lots of tears
The heart is cold ~ The body is numb…
Cause and effect from throughout the years.
Your soul is lost ~ Your mind is confused
as spirits reach from all angles,,, Which should you choose???
His or hers ~ words or feelings ~ Both remain unknown.
Pay close attention to one’s actions and how well they sit upon
God’s throne
A word to the wise,
Know that an ungodly relationship will cause your soul to roam
For love lives within the heart and there is no place like home.
Acholam Birago/your Poetic SoulProvider
I often wonder what will happen
will it ever be the same
My mind is blank, My body is numb,
yet my heart is filled with lots of pain
Anger rushes throughout my soul
feeling as though I’m losing control
Laughter hides the lonely tears within
caused by a loved one or even a friend
Sleepless nights await my bedside
as I toss and turn trying to find my pride
Life has taken a sudden turn
that I no longer understand
When it's all over I pray to God
I will be a stronger man
Another day has come
Another night has gone
Still no place to hide ~ Nowhere to run
I find myself in the world all alone
Afraid to love ~ No one to call my own
Where do I turn ~~ What do I do
I now ask questions I once knew.
Acholam Birago/your Poetic SoulProvider
Words are spirits manifesting thoughts, ideas and visions into existence
Commitments, as well as hope and dreams began with one's word
Blurred, vision strengthens thoughts to manifest poor decisions
Collision of souls causing spiritual casualties
Apologies set sail to restore all that has been lost
Cost for the damages requires all to renew their hearts
Darts of lies and deception has permanently destroyed the soul’s foundation
Translation,,, this reality can only exist if the current system of thinking remain
Shame now devalues the betrayal’s name
Same sense of devalue is felt in the heart of the ones caught up in the game
Blame hinders the heart from moving ahead
Led by the emotions of hurt & pain now compounded with depression
Lessons are being revealed yet the soul hurts too much to receive
Grieve the lost of time invested for a reality that will never come to pass
Ask rather or not the desires of the heart is apart of God’s plans
Understand God’s will for our lives is the only solution that will fulfill the soul's void
Avoid emotions that feeds the ego's sense of entitlement
Enlightenment is necessary daily spiritual food needed to stay focus
Notice what’s often done to us we tend to subconsciously do to others
Discover the beauty within you or your mission you will soon fail,,,
Derail and become the poison that gives birth to betrayal
Well, please take it from me for this is a personal testimony I tell
Repel the darkness of my soul that has bond me to hell
Avail the truth, for judgement is easily applied by those who has yet to deeply face themselves
