The sun is bright, that is hope.
The dark cloud is pregnant for a moist day
And the turfs are beautifully smiling
The sun is scorching, that is pain.
And the beautiful turf wilt and dry
And the rain drops,
Announcing the blossom of the shrubs and bright flowers
The challenges of life,
The pain and anguish ,
Are the embers and springboard to announce our triumph.
Heros are made out of battles
Victors are made through trial
Though some are conquered
They are the unsung true heros.
As our eyelids open for a new dawn,
It is an attestation of hope to come.
To get there,
To sing victory,
To be crowned a hero
Keep striving without daunting

As damned territorial as lion,
On this, kind of unflinching Iron.
Not just on a single occasion
Mention made of his sure location…
Ex-Occupant of Lord God’s Heaven
After acting worse than a Raven;
From it flushed out and he found Earth
And there had been before Creative Birth.
No regrets, though, over Expulsion
On Earth ‘A Flier’ in propulsion
The same chaining for Christ‘s Temptation
Christ muteness on this “Attestation.’’
On Earth, seeker of crowd for snares,
A man there for damage, poor repairs
Also the Non-Trodden Wilderness
Unhappily yielding wildness
Lot after Sodom, Xenophobia
That could just suppress Claustrophobia,
So, that Daughter might sleep with Dad
And The Hapless Old Guy gives a Lad…

Clatter of happiness fatten our ears with/
Spirited praises & glorifications.
Drums - alto saxophones - eject contents
Of heavenly beats & lyrics / Our feet know too many dance steps- As attestation to the lord
For the bell of another year jingle to our witness in glorious shape.
Hubbub of crackers strip the air off its scent - nothing smells but A Roasted Pork Sausage
The "Gbo-a" of a new year sends concern to the weak health of old mama(s) & papa(s)
The outcry threaten the ears of little babies/ Revealing Toothless smiles to the multiple colors birthed by the awful crackers
With our happiness tonight - won’t God’s ears be deafened by our noise?

Waiting, intently attempting to hold my breath,
Subtlety fragrant, dreadful an impression as coined,
The time that I have been awarded, lapsed yet conjoined
Oh, duality of loneliness and odious memories
I’ve been trying to delete you from the foundation of this suite,
Or, ever more so, fight the disguise of the life navigation,
The one that doesn’t share,
The one that doesn’t show, or declare,
But the one that is indefinable as the cosmos we live in,
No joy, yet there are only accusations of sin after sin,
As humble as it may sound, (or perhaps not)
I give a toss to thoughts that yield attestation of my strength
Fiercely I’ve felt belonging to prolonged measures of adventure
Eager in its simplicity, a stubborn quencher,
My reproach to the veil of silk and satin
Bend the knee, consciously,
Atop to the core, evermore.

For loves attestation had brought them to grief
in all but their filament of hope
lay in the witness ruined
until burden be undone
and from their promises, released
Retire silent and plaint of regret
no longer decry, no longer defend
no more to seek in the chalice of hominian
divinities flicker illusive
must cleave the heart of Seraphim
Allegiance to the singular
no consequence of choice will contemplate
and to final hour render
and for such honourable cause
lay aside all they did anticipate
Drear task now to await on failure
and of illustrious dream capitulate
and of weeping eye make no remorse
for all of love was but a hope
mayhap be granted its renaissance
in another life

The most adored among women
Your beauty would slay even the strongest of warriors
When you walk,
Even the heavens is intoxicated with your unimaginable beauty
Your smile blooms like the sun rise
I wish there is a word to describe this passion my heart feels for you
Without an atom hesitation i would quickly declare a war against my fears
And declare to you this wonderful feeling that makes my heart tremble without an end.
Indeed upon your dark tanned skin
Lies the most tender and fragile attestation of an unpolluted love.
Surely, i would tell the heavens of your name.
So the angels would intercede on my behalf.
Because i have suffered a myriad of your unadulterated beauty.
An unforgiving feeling maimed by my passion.
A rare and uncompromising desire abandoned by my sentiments.
Perhaps that’s my fear.

Sam comes from that fantastic cathedral city,
Of majestic Coventry where there’s reconciliation,
Of people’s of different wartime allegiances,
For a brotherhood and forgiveness attestation;
He is partially sighted, born 1985 in the 80s mighty,
Went to Alderman Callow school, no compliances,
So he moved to specialist school Exhall Grange,
Had the purple house named after him for Judo,
Which his brother got him into for his range,
After broadcasting at Falmouth University to go;
He got silver at the 2007 Worlds, then again in 2010,
Bronze at the 2008 Paras, gold 2011, the Euro pen.
Sam came second in the 2012 Paralympics,
Third at the Euro 2015 Portugal Championships.

Straight, direct meaning,
No ambiguity or question,
Of relationship or hearing,
Only malicious attestation.
Seventy-five thousand,
Killed by the 15 kiloton bomb,
In one there was no pasture land,
For the innocent overthrown.
Red fluid permeated,
Scolded the lungs of the fit,
No reactions competed,
With that rupture that lit.
Never again should war,
Take the lives of so many,
Because lifted is the bar,
On freedom and autonomy.

Morality’s general
with an intimidating aura
and a commanding presence;
this charisma’s description
is a single lane void of corners
written in a dictionary
consisting of a single page.
Blamelessness so standardized
to be empirical
and ruthless to liberalism.
Pragmatism functions but under
the administration of apt discipline
with no chance for taste
and appetite to have their says.
Lips when open
are gates for words of absolution.
Yeah and nay
never exchanging importance
and with an illumination
so exact and precise
that even distant acquaintances
can join in attestation
of its attributes
to become a part of a bunch
of its unsolicited witnesses.
Shoulders of personality
grow high above the heads temple
and character, steeply mountainous
and impossible for compromise to climb.
Such dart hits same spot
over and over again on the board;
such skin keeps to its attitude,
never longing to be tanned or bleached
what a wealthy tiny island
so respected by its surrounding waters!

When I said to my love, please forgive me?
He smiled in affirmative consummation:
Instantly I knew it was for good to be;
He had no fleeting or flighty attestation.
He was mine, my love, my one and only,
But never such interactively nor by day;
Free to blossom and mill, and free truely,
And complimented me in every way.
His forgiveness meant a solid promise,
Of nurture, love, direction and guidance;
That he would have stealth and premise,
For that which I had so much avoidance.
When my poor attitude did not do,
He forgave, and took me through.

I have had
and i have lacked
I have loved
and i have lost
more so my heart still beats-
the rhythmic flow in my very essence
reminding me that am alive and well
I have a gift in my hands- life
I have the powers to create and destroy
encourage and discourage- choice
I choose to do right
thought its not easy
I choose to forge on - resolve
I stand in firm in determination
for i have a gift in mine hands
I delight in life- appreciation
I appreciate the gift of life
I believe i breath today
For i have the mark of destiny
and i will surely get- confess
I confess good things
I confess great exploits
I attest to great feats
I delight in- abundance
from the abundance of my soul
My tongue speaks
for am ordained
from the Creators tongue

The raging waters stay calm
from the stretching forth of your hands
the words of your mouth
move the hand of God to action
You’ve been lifted up so high
to manifest His power among men
your pulpit, cuts across the hearts
of men from many nations
Thus, God’ll continue to shade you
with his divine protection
until the rains of your existence
cover the fields of your cultivation
and the jury of heaven
stands in complete attestation to your fulfillment
You’d be filled inexhaustibly with the power
of the knowledge and understanding of His word
richly blessing you with substance and good health
and your anointing; the foam to which nations will find comfort.

You might as well do some good
As often as you could
Do all that you should
To help someone rise above
If you do,you’ll be a hero
With the heart of a dove
You will never return to zero
No matter how hard
You will always be a standard
By which all good men are remembered
And the bad ones condemned
One day when you go
Like all men someday would
Even in death you’ll blaze with glory
A superlative attestation of history retold
Do all the good you can then my dear
While you are still here.

Faith is love taking
The form of aspiration.
While Trust is
The witnessing of
Its intended manifestation.
For a gallant spirit
There can never be defeat.
When the battle is tough
The victory is often sweet.
Give light
And people will
Find the way.
Illumination like the sun
Transforms the night
To day.
God always
Gives His best
To those who leave
The choice with him.
It's hard to
Pass the test
Without Him
On the team.
God sleeps
In the minerals,
Awakens in plants,
Walks in animals,
And thinks in man.
Therein lies the
Magnificense Of His
Awesome, divine plan.

“While the shopkeeper
displays his wares,
for the whole world
to peruse!”
In infamous sway
behind the ostentation
lives the truth of his
draconian sweat!
The attestation of
wholesale systems
groveling in strategic
mayhem, created to
delegate accountability
to the lowest common
denominator!
