an uncooked meal,
that is what sin is,
though you might derive some
momentary pleasure from it,
it will end up running you down!
let's pray for the grace
to flee from sin always!

an orange cake of ripe warmth
canopy of red virgin rays
gentle forerunner the night
ushering in our cool moonlight tales
oh radiant half of a yellow sun!

Wakawaka all the way
Wakawaka everyday
Work, work, work,
Over and over again!
Yes, toil and rust we must
For there is no food for lazy man!

Lord have mercy on mankind!
Lord have mercy on me!
Lord forgive my personal sins!
Lord forgive mankind for its wrong doings,
Forgive man's attempt to make
Himself god unto himself
Forgive his sacrileges and abominations!
Oh Lord, have mercy on us all!

my eyes are filled with tears
for a world fighting so hard
to kick God out of the scheme
of things; dance and music
now idolize sex, money, drugs!
man is now god unto himself,
Lord, have mercy on mankind!

the chilling sunshine on our soul is sin
as it congeals the life of God
in our whole life
sin is the cold moon
freezing the grace of God
in our life and plunging us
in the darkest night of godlessness!

A fool is that man or woman
Who excludes God from his or her life
A fool is he or she who thinks
He or she is a god!
A fool enjoys the pomp of sin
And revels in trap of iniquity!

Love is life and Life is love!
Love is the reason why we live!
Death is the pride in refusing to
Acknowledge God and making oneself a god!
Pride is doing everything as if
the whole world belongs to you
And treating everybody as though
They were mere objects!
Let's love and live
Let's live and love!

Lord
Light
Up
The
Fire
Of
Your
Love
In
My
Heart!
Consume
Me
With
Your
Fiery
Love!

A word on love again!

Love
Is
The
Reason
Why
We
Live!
Love
Is
The
Essence
Of
Our
Existence!
Love
Is
Life!

I recently visited home after nearly eight years
I transversed Okoloba to Jakpa to Oleh and Ughelli
I realised all over again that my people can laugh
They are a people who love to suffer and smile
A nation where her leaders rip the people off
A home of joy and sorrow!
I love the music, language, dance!
I will not stay away for too long again
For east or west, home is best!

My thoughts on abortion!

I am that unborn child called unwanted
You conceived me but later
You wanted me not
You conspired with my father to kill me
I am dead but alive
But I will hunt you till your dying days!

where do broken hearts go?
I bet some where lonely
a deserted forest filled with trees of sadness!
hey! cheer up! so your heart's broken?
it's not the end of the world
that guy, that girl, probably did you a great
heartbreak favour as he or she
could have been your earthly hell fire!
God just spared you all the trouble
tomorrow is a galaxy of the universe
profuse with promise great!
so, cheer up, mend that broken heart
move on as true love awaits you!

Another word of hope in difficulties!

you are at a crossroad
the walls are caving in
pandemonium embraces you
call on Him
He is the last resort
the only Friend who remains
when others left
He will help you break through
the walls closing in
He will help you survive the blast!

My little take on true love!

True love can be found
In the face of the the street beggar
True love can be found
In the smile of a child
True love can be found
In a lover's warm embrace
True love can be found
In a dear friend,s lack
Or the poverty of a total stranger
True love can be found
In the bed of an HIV patient or a leper
True love is complete surrender to God
And selfless service to God and man!

Just a few words on my commitment to God!

come
rain
or shine
day or night
through
thick
and thin
storm
or
calm
oh
Lord
let me love
and serve
You
till my dying day!

Just a line on the audacity of hope!

hope
that is the best supper
faith is a good breakfast
love is a general meal
but hope, that is a favorite relish
after the hustle and bustle of the day
the hardihood of hope
its enduring tenacious veracity
that's what makes it
not only the best supper
but the most appetizing dish
any time, any where!

Just some fundamental questions on that age-old cliche!

what is love?
is it equal to lust?
or chemistry?
or fondness?
why should I love at all?
is love a commitment or a decision?
is it free or selective?
what is love?
can anyone answer me?
how do I know what i feel is true love?
is love just a fleeting feeling?
or is it a decision to make a commitment?
food for thought!

Just praising God!

glory
honour
worship
adoration
thanksgiving
all to you be accorded
Atererekariaye!
all creation sing your praise
earth, sky and sea
resound your magnitude
who is like you?
master and ruler of the cosmos!

Remiscences!

I remember the days of lazy childhood
Devoid of adult pressures and complexities
When playing, sleeping and eating were
The gods I worshiped.
Those were the days of innocence
When life was a naive picture
Of friends, family and neigbours.
Oh, those were the days I needn't worry
About what to eat, wear and where to
Sleep because mum and dad were in charge.
But I wouldn't go back to those days
Because now I know better than that
Because a child's innocent world is
A myopic vision of heaven on earth!
Today, I am faced with the brutal fact that
Life is wicked and that bad things happen
To good people and life is not always
Black and white and heaven on earth means
Carrying my heavy cross in self-denial
And following God in a lonely path.
Playing, sleeping and eating come
At a great price.Life isn't a one-way track
To personal glory but a trudge uphill
From Golgotha to Jerusalem!
Yes, I remember those days
Of innocent happy childhood!

On the one year anniversary of the abduction of the Chibok girls!

uprooted from my home
cut off from school, family and friends
I am scared, brutalized and abused
my fate is unknown
I face starvation, insecurity and death
I even hear I might be sold into slavery
I live with death, hunger and fear
it's been like this for a year now
who will rescue me?
who cares?
I am lost!

Just a little take on wisdom!
