Shàngó!
Where are your fiery eyes,
that spit fear into burning coal,
that blaze with warmth and glow,
a conflagrator dancing with flames?
Who dares invoke your name in sin,
and not have their tongue seared?
You summon thunder as a hound to hunt,
their wealth and souls it strikes at once,
swift as lightning no man can withstand.
You are a god with no patience,
a judge whose verdict is fire.
The guilty inherit their own shame,
terror grips their trembling mates,
till their fear spills water from their bladder.
Shàngó!
The king who hung himself–yet none dare say so.
Your name alone bends foes of Dàda,
your gentle, effeminate brother,
subduing armies without a clash,
a king great in life, even greater in death.
Your words are clothed in flame,
your breath consumes in thousands.
No scroll could ever disguise your greatness,
no fool could scorn your name
and escape the storm of your wrath.
And now, O thunderous king, hear me:
Unleash your fire on all my foes.
Shatter them into smouldering dust,
burn them in your raging inferno,
heap grief upon grief, lament on lament—
O king whose hanging none dare declare.
Time come and go
I have been through time
Yet my life is still challenging
I tried to enjoy them
Still I never fall out of temptations
Life is full of up and down
Time come and go always
In all effect life is short
So I preserve my energy for grace
I keep working I keep earning
I never complain of my pains
Men in our time now can’t no more
So I dedicate my time to better my days
I never give up just to be comfortable
A true warrior got no comfort
I tell you no lie
Time come and go
I get better with time
I rise each time I fall with time
I never run away from myself
Despite it’s hard to deal with time
Yet I believe all I need is possible
Always with time
There is no other way with out time
So I keep moving in time
Doing all I wish could give me
A good time for a better day
If you should know yes am still
Struggling in life with time
I have no other way if i don’t dream
Life is not fair for nothing
So feel free to go through the time
With the songs of my soul
Soon it will rain again just as
Time come and go
Karma that patient gangster
Very slow in action
But never fails to repay
Creeps into your life
Paying in double all your deeds
After replaying all your acts
Karma is just like a seed well planted in a good soil, it always germinates.
Karma the avenger
Rewarding your deeds accordingly
Either good or bad
The seeds you sowed
That's what you will get
Not what you need or wish to own
You can't plant yam then harvest cassava
Almighty God is for all not for anyone
That's why he's the ALL in ALL fighting for and rewarding all deeds.
Karma the life teacher
Saying you're what you do
For a goat can never give birth to a lion
You can't run away or hide
From your shadow forever
Whatever is in the dark
Always comes to the light with time
When you think it's over, karma comes visiting
Making you start all over again taking everything you didn't own genuinely.
In the mirror's gaze, a stranger's face
Eyes that once shone bright, now dim with time
The weight of shadows, a heaviness that clings
A heart that beats with doubt, a soul that sings
A whispered lie, a voice that won't subside
"You're not enough, you'll never be alright"
The echoes of memories, a bittersweet refrain
A longing for solace, a search for peace in vain
In the city's din, a lonely crowd
Faces that blur, a sense of disconnection proud
The noise of expectations, a drumbeat in my head
A desire to escape, to flee from the dread
But still I search, for a glimmer of light
A chance to heal, to mend the fractured night
A whispered truth, a voice that speaks my name
A reminder that I'm not alone, that I'm still the same
God all the way
I can’t explain how I survive
I can’t be so sure
When words describes how it happen
Cos all i do is who i am
Am not the best or the greatest
But am living my life
The rest is up to God
It been a journey worth it
The ups and downs
The good and ugly times
The bitter and sweet days
And more was worth passing through
I just can’t explain how am co-existing
Yet words are not enough to say
Thank you God
God all the way
Day after day i keep moving
I understand that there is life
In movement
So I never worry about the opinion
Of those that wish me
The evils that are not aline with my destiny
Am ready to accept what life offers
Am humble enough to be sensitive
Life can’t be always a promise land
So when I trade my ways
I never forget the protection of God
So again I tell you no lie
Words are not enough to say is
God all the way
Never again
Run away from danger
Oh you man of value
Listen to the call of nature
It holds a destiny for everyone
It will show you the way out
From a Trapped world
Hold on to your pains
Keep your light on
Remember
No one is coming to save you
From a dying world
So run away from your negativity
Oh man of dignity
Listen to the call of nature
It has a message for humanity
Never again
Should I run
Should I walk
Should I crawl
Should I pray
I know if I seek I will found
So should I write
Should I sing
Should I fight
Should I speak
Should I be silent
Should I be brave
Should I be courageous
I know am a human I have a life to live
So should I be a sheep
Should I be a mere follower
Should I be truthful
Should I lie just to gain
Should I love
Should I care
Should I rise or should I fall
Should I ride my world or die for nothing
Should I live only just to be alive
I know the essence of life is beyond just to be alive
So should I be myself and say
Never again
The parties were in full swing.
The doorbell rang, yet no one knew it.
In that instant, everything changed for the party guests.
Speak softly, lean in closer, and turn down the volume.
A sudden death—another soul has taken its last breath.
Did he pass the test? Sniffing cocaine, he choked,
Dust scattering across his desk.
What a mess!
This was his life; he surrendered to cocaine—
Cocaine was his guilty pleasure.
Have you ever witnessed their souls diving into the sea?
It's too late for cleansing.
The drip, drip, drip of blood dissolves into the sea.
This evokes a different philosophy—
The devil’s philosophy.
Never spoke
About the things
I can do or would do
Always told you
About what I've done
Some right and some wrong.
I never let my flaws
Weigh me down
Right from birth
Right from my mother's womb
I've been striving for authenticity not perfection
Not letting my imperfections take over me.
Like my mother
Never neglected me
Amidst my imperfections
She knows my battles
Always correcting my wrongs
Sometimes by war or with love.
A little boy asked me about the future...
I told him;
It ends in the grave.
None wanna go sooner
But it's the final destination for all.
Everything we're striving and thriving for
We'll live behind
Then go to our future
Another world beyond
To behold
But through the grave.
In this life we come and we go
Nothing lasts forever.
Pray your next of kin
Don't waste all your efforts
Everything you worked for.
Do everything within your power
To leave a legacy behind
That's what matters
The only thing or reason
People will remember you for, when you've gone beyond.
If deeply roars a bard for epic muse,
like newborn lambs that crave their mother's milk;
if feet that lightly trip along with shoes
of Mercury whose message speeds, like silk,
with lightning's sudden flash and peals of thunder;
if fate told jokes, regaled with humor's laugh,
then life, Greek tragedy, with comic blunder,
mocks man's pride, hubris, ego, using his gaffes
(with bathos). But high drama's theatric peak's
for bards and Elizabethan playwrights
who, like seers, see with vision, craft unique,
wond'rous, and grandiose plots of lofty heights!
But to give up this dream that seems sublime,
I'd wish for, still, love, children, peace, and time.
She's a ****, she's not loyal.
I told her; you're only good for sex,
Not good to keep.
Don't let your beauty, leave you in deceit
You ain't getting younger, but older.
I ask her about
Her body counts.
She said,
Just thirty plus.
Thirty plus, still not taken?
You gotta change your mentality,
Or remain a sex tool or sex partner forever.
She's always seeking pleasures
From different guys.
Enjoy your life, when you're young
Her watchword
I asked her.
How long?
Will this continue!
She always have excuse,
The perfect answer she knows best.
Christ said
Judge and condemn not
But people do too much
For us to remain silent
The truth is hard to say
It's also hard to swallow.
Now ponder
You might wonder
Your perception
A reflection of you
Do you know the meaning of life?
Everyone with different story or meaning
I guess none knows the meaning of life.
What are your opinions about life?
You can't finish education
Just as you can't own or know it all
Everyone have their own view or point
As time passes by, season changes
Life comes with stages
Different pages and chapters unveiling it's true meaning.
From victory to victory
Our storyline
As we journey through life
But all glory
To our maker
Making us victorious
In all circumstances.
Glory to thy way maker
Always making a way
For us to be victorious
That's what he's best known for
Leading us to victory
Triumphing over all
That rises against us.
Grace and favor
He's always bestowed on us
Glory to our maker
For ease and effortlessness
All we get he gave
Without hesitating
Victoriously dominating all territory
Glory to our maker for he's our helper.
Above is the place
I wish to race
Above is the face
I wish to grace
Where people dreams age
And where thunderstorms rage
The wildest dreams take courage
And where you feel the stars stage
Above is the Term
That we use when success has arms
The word that manifest richness alarm
Reminder of bellow and its germ
Reminder of the bare minimum firm
That has been bestowed on human farm
To the Darest point of life
To the darest point of achievements
Above is the habitat
That reminds us of climate change and stats
The human effects on what protects us from start
The deepest conversation and debate that doesn't need a flirt
Its effect grave on living organism on earth
And the word is deep in the heart
That indeed human should be reminded in an art
Of the beautiful nature we destroy without the guts
Of the ugliness it leaves and lives it hurts
Above is the pace
Where Motivation is driven and ridden
Word that keeps a vision not bedridden
The pace that reminds one to wake talents hidden
To betterment and change venture den
A world of production and not purely consumers.

That's the way it is
God made it so
Things never remain the same
Everything that begins
Have an end
So it is.
Nothing remain same
That's our belief
Season's come and go
People come and go
After the night
Another dawn
The life we live.
You never touch
Same wave twice
Every second, minute or hour
Always a new opportunity
Be aware
Don't let it pass you by
Pray for grace to ease your race.
