Beauty
When they are complimented
On their hair, figure, complexion...
Even children appreciate that
Just tell them how beautiful they are
Trust me, they will frequent mirrors
When God gave us this gift
He wanted us to use it diligently
By loving one another
This entails sharing and caring
However, love is sometimes misinterpreted
By the something for something notion
Many youths have become victims of beauty
They are the easiest targets by the so-called tycoons
Who think young ladies are yearning for the latest trends
Some have been plotted against
After failing to fall prey of some men’s selfish advances
Beauty is a gift from God
That He endowed us without any price tags
Unfortunately, we have diluted it
Through; bleaching, prostitution...
Shall we appreciate it when it is gone?
Let us embrace beauty before it is too late

Hollowness
Halleluah………
Give it up for the Lord
For bringing light onto our lives
And sorting our church leaders
For He never sleeps
If you lie once, don’t do it twice
Well….do you think I can preach?
Of course do it my style
Coz I don’t have to use the same old versions
That some of our pastors have adopted
I am not against any messenger
Some of the preachers have become a nuisance
From mismanaging tithe, falsifying, to sodomizing our brothers
Are these the last days they always preach about?
Their wives are in boat
So vulnerable to the untold truth
But some knew it before
They wanted to protect their marriage and integrity
You have seen them smiling in public
Only God knows what they are going through
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ
Remember that not all preachers are monsters
But how are we going to differentiate them?
Shall we go back to our old churches?
We have become a laughing stoke to the unspiritual
They want to see us crumble and mortified
But God is faithful
We shall desist from the rising spiritual madness

Coffee
Coffee, sweet coffee
You are inevitable!
You warm me when I am cold
You make me get to work
I feel sad when you are left out in the compound
And rain drains your purity
Like a worn-out flower
Battered by the sun
As a child, I remember when…
I would pick you up from under the tree
And watch you dry up for sale
Then buy cookies and balloons
I hate to see them
Planting you on the bleak soil
And expecting you to retain your beauty
By feeding you with fertilizers
Not all hope is gone
Gradually but surely, you will rise again
Farmers are making everything possible
To uplift your growth and development

Rapacity
The innocent children knew not the pain
Obedient to their mother they stayed
And missed the school they swayed
She ordered them to wash their feet
And then their hearts began to beat
She knotted their necks with a chain
What a mother, with a scratched brain!
Their bodies lay as white as snow
With no tomorrow and fame to show
Some parents’ violence is too much to bear
Yet some couples have no child to show care

Clemency
Zoom like a sneaky roach
To the city high rage
Head high, pinky-inky
Gum-in-chew
Smoky maw
A decade down the road
You got it all
But got none in sense
It is never too late
To live in the light
He said………….
Seek, you shall find
God wants you
To live a new Life
He Loves You

Pluckier
Akin to the squashy stream
Staring explicitly at my blankness; they recognise
Before I could respire
I close my eyes
And feel my heart thrashing within, soothing tempo
It takes my fear over
Briskly into my gullet
They say….
Don’t slash the thread that joins you to veracity.
Don’t be afraid of the white sheet
Write down something….

If I pull this off...
And not tell I'll hit a mark
If I pull this off
For a friend...
Will he peck me?
Will he hug me?
Or will he cry,
'O you're a genius?'
That we shall know
If I pull this off
For a friend!

Life
Friendly to her
So quite and peaceful,
Placed my little nephew.
The sun was always dazzling
Stars would sparkle
The sky was navy
However, he saw none.
For nine months,
He has been in the dreamland
Now, it is time,
To face the wonderland
For a man was born
To encounter challenges
Deal with conflict and change
That is what life is all about.

Fortitude
Does not make me dizzy
Being with you until death
Is something so easy
Sitting alone in the night
I could hear the voice
Saying it will be alright
Which makes me rejoice

Gonza
and licks them bottles clean
Then comes back home past midnight
something is wrong with this boy
He would help at home
and play with his siblings
But now he prefers hanging out
with men his age
He has starved so much
That his trousers can not fit
However much he accompanies them
With a huge belt
I wish I had a chance
to sneak into his heart
But the key to that heart
was thrown in the ocean

Commence
Is a dream come true
for both graduates and parents
It is one of those precious moments
That tears of joy stream
For fulfilling the dream
