WORDS

Let me start with a word and then add a phrase
A phrase like 'The basement of 'MTV base'
Most people start small and that is the case
Fueled by passion there is something to chase

I'm running out of gas and I need another phrase
But wait, someone just whispered the word 'Praise'
Praise, is another form of prayer for a raise
Something that will make all the problem erase

I need another word that will fill up this space
Cos words serve a purpose and are designed for a place
Programmed to surmount the challenges we face
There is grace for the race even at the right pace

When times are hard and you need a word to embrace
A word to save the day, to save the soul from disgrace
You'll find a turning point and the past you can't retrace
Cos God's word has the power to change things and replace

I AM LOVE

I am love, filled up and possessed
I am love, refined and processed
I am love, sincerely professed
I am love and I have progressed

I am love when left depressed
I am love when totally oppressed
I am love with emotion suppressed
I am love with pride compressed

I am love even when I’♏ stressed
I am love not easily aggressed
I am love and I love to be accessed
I am love contented and impressed

I am love and I love to be caressed
I am love and I give and I’♏ blessed
I am love, an attitude expressed
I am love and so shall I be addressed

Sometimes I feel like calling you a rainbow
Because your beauty has a special glow
Sometimes I think of more words to follow
Because your beauty is brighter than tomorrow

Sometimes I feel like calling you paradise
Because your beauty is like the sunrise
Sometimes I feel like saying otherwise
Because you are just an angel in disguise

Sometimes I feel like calling you a diamond
Because your beauty strengthens our bond
Sometimes its value is even far beyond
Because of the way you smile and respond

Sometimes I feel like calling you sunshine
Because I know your beauty is divine
Sometimes words are not enough to define
Because your beauty shall never decline

THE MYSTERY OF A NATION

To the victims of persecution and political prostitution
Who work for an institution, living by a failed constitution
The innocent is the defense, the criminal is the prosecution
In the midst of destitution, the government wants a restitution

Welcome to a country that needs no introduction
The world’s most endowed and populous black nation
She has received a unique global recognition
A sleeping giant with no future ambition

Her numerous resources would beat your imagination
70% poor, with little commonwealth in circulation
Millions of people wallow in economic malnutrition
Here comes ‘Jona’ with a promise of transformation

He trekked without shoes to get an education
Many thought he would understand the masses situation
He got his chance to lead and after the S-election
He makes his recommendation the only option

We’ve been betrayed by the one who should give solution
Hand in hand at a junction with various groups in conjunction
A congregation converge to state their frustration
This is the occupation, the evolution of a revolution

The boko haram violence and the level of destruction
‘Jona’ refuses instruction and heads in the wrong direction
Approaching a train in motion, avoidable commotion
Surely, the impending eruption would consume the corruption

Arise! Youths of this generation, at ease!…attention!
Enough is enough, Now is the time for salvation
Action against babylon with our rastaman vibration
We march in solidarity singing songs of redemption.

JUST A THOUGHT

THE PANDEMIC

Millions of people have been infected
Unborn children have also been affected
A result of HIV/AIDS deadly but not respected
It may take time before it is suspected

Razor and sharp objects could be connected
Blood for transfusion unscreened and selected
Unsterilized needle when one is injected
These are some ways HIV is sent and collected

Whenever the disease is detected
It kills faster when one is neglected
Stigmatization makes the victim dejected
Such an attitude should be corrected

An HIV free world could be effected
To whom much is given much is expected
For a future that is that is sure and perfected
Abstain, be faithful or get protected

DRESS OR UNDRESS

Present day ladies, spicy like Nutmeg
I know one of them her name is Meg
Although she just got married to Greg
She distracts my friend, the one called Freg

In those tight jeans she looks like a Peg
Short skirts will expose most of her Leg
That blue top reveals her palmwine Keg
Ladies I’♏ on my knees, dress well I Beg.

THE GENESIS AND THE REVELATION

THE GENESIS
God made man in his image out of clay
The beginning of life was lovely and gay
Something happened, I guess in the month of ‘may’
This was when mankind went astray

The deceptive serpent came to Eve one day
She thought it was one of his usual play
Presenting the forbidden apple on a tray
He convinced her there was no price to pay

She put the fruit in her mouth without delay
Then passed it to Adam as if it was relay
God came to the garden and drove them away
Man in God’s image began to go the wrong way

From that month of ‘may’ man lived in dismay
Life began to go through radioactive decay
Soon the time came for cain to display
Abel became an enemy for him to slay

Wickedness became a constant replay
It became a debt man could not repay
On mankind were curses God had to lay
The serpent also got little bit of the spray

God saw that man was living in disarray
A few line of words I could hear him say
“Who shall save man from this sinful bay”
Jesus replied “here I am, send me I pray”

It hurts God’s heart when we sin and sway
It hurt him bad when judas chose to betray
God wants a place in our heart to stay
The time is short, we have to make hay

As we examine our hearts under an x-ray
At the end of the end of a tunnel is a light ray
Here is a better way to end this essay
Restoration is around the corner today

THE REVELATION
My journey to eternity was to commence
My first adventure without defense
Something gave me a lot of confidence
It was my religious competence

As I crossed the worldwide fence
I saw angels holding a conference
It was an annual convergence
Against sinners and their offense

Angel Gabriel was excused by his audience
He came to welcome my presence
The angel began to make a reference
Pointing to my sins and life of pretense

He showed me my past with video evidence
I was made to watch myself in silence
At the end I tried to prove my innocence
But my excuses made no difference

In spite of my level of earthly excellence
I was sent to hell to face the consequence
The judgement was an eternal death sentence
At the corner was a little bit of suspense

But there was a physical interference
I woke up, I came back to existence
I decided to live a life of obedience
After I had this dream experience.

THE ONE WHO IS ABLE

I am talking of the one who is Able
His Love is Unfanthomable
His Wisdom is Unmistakable
And his Foolishness is Preferable

Like a Rock, He is Unshakable
Like a Lion, He is Indomitable
Like a Wind, He is Unstoppable
And that makes him Unquestionable

I am talking of the one who is Adorable
Whose Beauty is Unimaginable
The one whose presence is Flamable
And his fire is Unquenchable

Like a King, He is Irreplacable
Like a Hill, He is Unsearchable
Like a Valley, He is Unbeatable
And that makes him Unbelievable

I am talking of the one who is Dependable
Whose touch makes me Untouchable
He prepares before me a Table
Where my enemies are like his Vegetable

Like a Meal, He is Palatable
Like Water, He is Desirable
Like Air, He is Unavoidable
And that makes him Sustainable

I am talking of the one who is Formidable
The one whose work is Commendable
The Unmovable and yet Capable
The Unpredictable yet Understandable

Like the Stars, He is Uncountable
Like the Sand, He is Immesurable
Like Ocean, He is Unexplainable
And that makes him Uncontainable

I am talking of the one who is Honorable
The one who is Indescribable
The one who made his Llife Available
The one through who Mankind is Redeemable

He is God, His Ways are Profitable
He is God, His Works are Reliable
He is God, His Words are Unchangable
I am talking of the one who is Able

IT WOULD BEAT YOUR IMAGINATION

It would beat your imagination what People would do to save the last Dance
How People want to take a bus and struggle at the Entrance
The extent People go in a bid to get Assistance
And the places they visit in the name of Delieverance

Take a look at a typical Nigerian for Instance
How Millenium Development leaves him at a Distance
Many find it hard to benefit from the Realm of Substance
Inspite of the Human and Natural Resources in Abundance

Stuck in lagos Traffic for hours and in Annoyance
You get Home and lack of Electricity joins the Alliance
Problems Change name yet you can spot the Resemblance
Then you remember that Church Hymn, ''Blessed Assurance''.

The obstacles, the hindrance and the Victims of Circumstance
There's always tomorrow for another Trek of Endurance
But Pictures of Bomb Explosions, Fire Men and an Ambulance
raise many questions of Life's purpose and its Importance

Many have checked the Holy Books and even the Concordance
In search of the better days promised in Accordance
Wondering why there is so much hardship and Resistance
In the Pathway of Happiness and Mortal Inheritance

But it would beat your imagination how People want to Advance
How People see rays of Hope through the skies at a Glance
The Hope for a better place yet its all in a Trance
You have to keep moving till Life gives you a Chance.
