Hakuna Matata

Can't worry about tomorrow
It is yet to come
No need to dwell on yesterday
For it has come and gone
No need to sweat the small stuff
Life really is too short
Live for each precious moment
Give it all you got
Life is full of challenge
With many ups and downs
Hakuna matata
Can fill your days with laughter
At times can bring on frowns
Don't put off until tomorrow
What you can do today
Hakuna matata
The past now lies behind us
Another time and place
Put aside your anger
Replace it with a smile
Stop to smell the roses
Fill your heart with song
Yesterday gone forever
Tomorrow not yet here
Live for today with gusto
It's you that holds the key
Hakuna matata
It means no worries
Forget about your failures
Your best is yet to come
Hakuna matata!

Night Folktale

Its time to tell the truth untold,
why do we have to fight?
must we shed blood?
ever wondered why able bodied men 
go to war,and come back half,
or even dead,
the pity of war, the pity of war distilled
i was sworn in to handle the situation
am in the perfect position?
though courage was mine, and i had mystery
wisdom was mine, and i had mastery
              days strolled,
              weeks jogged,
               months passed,
               years flew,
finally it ended
yes!!! the war ended
oh no!!! i was attacked
i parried but i couldn't and i lost
when will this war end???
Now Let Us Sleep

An Ode To My Future Lover

I rest the rhapsodic morn along rustic shadows,
as if it were a sapphire,
i shall serenade beautifully beneath our efflorescent forests,
my hands await you like a rustic moon,
i shivery surreptitiously in my cashmere bowers,
the harmonies have dale's autumn glow,
the have bough's idyllic fragility,
ahhh, my future love,
my love,
my heart beats eagerly,
between the romance of a piano,
the season's have melody's romantic bough,
i will not wait me surely,
the feathers have glow's sparkling willow,
the lullaby leaps,
your silhouettes run the constellation,
you ,my love,
are my distant,eternal,
and yet, pastoral horizons

Great Love

Above the oceans, 
the painting shan't remember,
you shall rustle me sweetly,
i wake eagerly,
on our outings,
below the nose,
the dale cannot shimmer,
i think i forgot to tell you that,
i love you,
yes!!!i love you so much,
even when i offended you,
you pretend as if you offended me,
and you forgive me,
how sweet is this love???
i bet i can't find any other love like this,
even though other people tempt me with their love,
but it wasn't like yours,
oh!!! i can't believe you just broke my heart,
after all my trust,
i tried begging you,
but you turned deaf ears,
you left my heart shattered,
but someone came into my life,
and fixed it,
yes!!! to fix it,
now i'm deeply in love with the person,
the name is JESUS,
how sweet is this name???
in fact, he is the reason why i'm alive today,
now we are together,
and i doubt if anything can come between us
ARE YOU WILING TO LOVE THIS SAME PERSON????

Deprived Nigerian Child

Slowly he rolls the tyre,
to and fro,
with his pants on,
Laughing with his other 
counterparts,
His dirty pants,
Shown in the noon,
Like a rag,
He saw his mother,
And shouted,
Mother!
Where is my father?
Where did he go?
when will he come back?
When will i wear a shirt?
When will i sleep on a bed?
When will there be light?
Where will there be water 
from our taps?

Faithful Jesus

How sweet is 
the name 
Jesus?
he is my 
saviour
he is my sheild
he is my 
helper
he is my 
provider
though i was a 
sheep that 
had strayed
though i was 
deep i sin
though i was 
engaged in a 
lot of iniquities
though i never 
had faith in 
him
he had faith in 
me
he sent a 
shepherd to 
rescue me
he lifted my 
head
he annoited 
my head
in my dulllest 
skies
in my darkest 
valleys
he protected 
me
he rescued me
when i was 
down he 
raised me up
when i was 
sick he healed 
me
he is JESUS 
CHRIST
it's a 
priviledge to 
serve such a 
kind Lord

Fishes and Men

It is the water
that keeps the fishes alive
for men's execution

Imagine a World

Imagine a world without 
peace of mnd,that's 
abominating
Imagine a world with 
unknown people,that's 
alienating
Imagine a world with dead 
people,that's glutunating
Imagine a world without 
cancer,that's fascinating
Imagine a world without 
HIV,that's intresting
Imagine a world that HIV and 
CANCER never exist
Always imagine a world filled 
with God's love,peace,joy and 
unlimited wealth.Think 
POSITIVE,Imagine POSITIVELY
