World We Live In
I sit in the classroom
Start of a brand new year
I am really nervous
New students, surround me
They come from diverse cultures & backgrounds
None that I am familiar with
It’s like God gathered the whole world
And placed us together
In one, tiny classroom
I admire the beauty of their different coloured skins
It’s like gazing at a mesmerising masterpiece
Neither human

In You I See God's Beauty
In you… I see God’s beauty displayed!
His work in you life…
Has been portrayed!
In you… I see a desire to truly be…
The kind of person Christ
wants others to see!
In you… I see an inner beauty God’s given…
It clearly shows, in the way you’re livin’!
In you… I see

A Grim Abscond
Walking on air.
Thirsting for sorrowing despair
is the only way I know how to keep you near.
My spirit lingers for a moment,
searching the softly dead silence for the words to say...
forever the words are left unspoken.
How can you speak when there is nothing
but hungering darkness filling

I'M So Thankful To the Lord
I’m so thankful for everything the Lord has made...
Everything he’s created… His beauty is displayed!
I’m so thankful for the breath I have to breathe…
Until that one day, from this earth, I shall leave.
I’m so thankful for the way God has made so evident.
The principles of his word… Are so relevant!
I’m so

Widow's Peak
Her name is now a legend
Before her name was feared
The lady Henrietta
Lean close and lend an ear
They say her status started
One night long time ago
She found her husband cheating
With the girl she knew next door
Her mind did snap
Her heart grew cold
With a knife she stole their souls
Cut the beating heart away
Ate flesh

An Ode To Birth and Death
Darkness ended, Winter released her icy grip; budding crystals soon began to drip.
The Earth then tendered, its surface filled with life; Spring now wed to Summer, the
radiant rays piercing the frozen skies.
But Beauty gives way to Destruction and forests turn to tinder.
Here lies the crossroads, an Ode to Birth and Death.
A flower that slowly bloomed

The Boatman's Song 10/ Many
The boatman’s Song 10/Many
The beauty of that black horse got doubled
With the glittering beauty of the princess on the horse
Who was elegantly riding that black horse beauty
While coming towards the boatman with a speed
He had never seen earlier, when a lady was on a horse
Her shining long black hairs and few locks

Three Wooden Crosses
beneath this iron maiden
lies three wooden crosses
such tragedy comes to those
with their life losses
fourteen fifteen and sixteen
even in the backseat a beauty queen
mother told them not to go
father told them to take it slow
waving goodbye off they went
riding on tires with a wheel thats bent
out comes the beer and the weed
being such fools tossing around

Blood Sprinkle For Religion
A horrendous act
that could only be imagined
as Insidious and contemptuous
Many were massacred
Thousands displaced
The Hausa Militias took over
Zaria was in their palm
A horrendous act
That could only be imagined
As Insidious and contemptuous
Many were massacred
Thousands displaced
The Hausa Militias took over
Zaria was in their palm
The entire Kaduna was under their feet
The violent hollow-minded men
It was religious animosity
That under-bellies an

Nature
The beauty of the early dawn,
Make all feel active as sportive fawns;
The dew drops shine in the lawn-
But as the Sun grows its beauty is gone.
The heat of Summer, the chill of Winter-
The rains mekes the river flow faster;
During Autumn the sky is clear;
But the spring's beauty is even nicer.
The freshness of rose,the majesty of

The Red Red Rose
before our time drew to a close
you touched my life with poetry
You told me of a red red rose
then you made those words so clear to me
the beauty in a red red rose
is hard to love, even harder to hold
for its freshness fades and dies
but the love that's held inside
is not so easy to let

Then and Now {double Posting}
{Then}
I welcome you all to the dance
A place where souls are held in trance
Destiny is our truest fate
Taking your soul will feel great
I was born unto this life
To distribute pain and strife
There is nothing you can do
I shall have this dance with you
As we dance across the floor
I shall show you what destiny is for
You
