When danger run the city at night
tender folks yield without a fight,
who would actually dare to scream
unless the hole of hell and its notorious dread makes living an eternal dream.
My bride, my pride
it took a whole century to attain your ride
paying full attention to your total submission
clearing all your doubt from your eyes by giving you my attention.
From lovers trust and duty
you came to perform your lot
unaware that vile men worthless as dust
will let beauty forever rust.
A gun command respect
but he's inflict pain
a man who pulled the trigger at a mortal
will not fail to fire a second time..
Though upon life and living you're bent
our spared naira will upon you an eternity be spent
with tear drops from my soul
you have become scarred from our 18th visitor's foe.
May her courageous soul
find solace
in her stolen beauty.
For NELSON AND ESTHER.

HEART THAT BRINGS DELIGHT TO GOD, THE KING
Our heart brings delight to God, the King according to His statutes
With the functionality that truth constitutes
By how His wisdom honourably institutes
For our faith to increase, braced through His assertion of no substitutes.
Our heart brings delight to God, the King according to His Word
With the effectiveness of divine record
By how He expresses “Thus saith the Lord…”
For our soul to trust Him, cleaving to the Holy Ghost’s sword.
Our heart brings delight to God, the King according to His judgments
With the affirmation that confirms His commandments
By how His instructions show His guidance-involvements
For our spirit to abide in His will, blessed with Your wondrous fulfillments.
Our heart brings delight to God, the King according to His law
With the warning against offence-flaw
By how His prudence demands for worshipful awe
For our commitment to seek His kingdom in vanquishing worldliness’ claw.
Our heart brings delight to God, the King according to His testimonies
With the manifestations of magnificent victories
By how His grace glows with righteous beauties
For our devotion to prioritize Him always, overcoming selfishness’ follies.
Our heart brings delight to God, the King according to His precept
With the principles He emphasizes over earthly intellect
By how His sovereign authority does lovingly direct
For our obedience to bear fruits while His privileges we humbly accept.
Our heart brings delight to God, the King according to His wisdom
With the counsels His truth reveals toward genuine freedom
By how His doctrines transform us against vanity’s boredom
For our stewardship to exalt Him while advancing His kingdom.

Talk of the troubler
and the troubled.
The dainty daubers
and dark doubles
at the end of each street.
Talk of a civil thief
and his broken tongue,
neat shirt, tainted teeth
and lusty lung
that trips your merry into grieve.
Talk of the Alaba Boys*;
Wish's Jeff Bezos.
And the Computer Village's* noise;
Bill Gate's ambassadors;
your brain upsidedown, boxers* lost.
Talk of a floating head
in an elevated steep of mud,
and a slackened loaf of bread
sold for the net worth of Elon Musk.
And Usian Bolts
running for the Olympic medals of a bus,
only for traffic cramps and holes,
to blow the strengths into the dust.
Talk of other varying wonders,
and signs and revivals,
talk of Lagos!
'21:02:14:18:40
Note: Welcome to the struggle in Lagos, Nigeria.
There are some colloquials only Nigerians, precisely Lagosians understand. They are,
Alaba Boys: A general term for fraudster business folks in a place called Alaba in Lagos.
Computer Village: Another version of Alaba.
Boxers: This is a word a typical Nigerian uses when he or she refers to "Boxers' Shorts" or better still, "Pants"...
As requested by a friend. Esther.
Eve, the mother of all mankind,
Adam found his helpmeet in her.
Old Sarah, through faith, was confined.
Rebecca, the first twins’ mother.
Shiphrah and Puah, brave midwives
Saved Hebrew children, fearing God.
Fearless Jochebed hid her child,
Because of her, Moses survives.
Rahab hid spies for she was awed
By the true God, who on her, smiled.
Like Deborah, who could you find?
Her bold judgement caused quite a stir.
Jael, Heber’s wife, was brave of mind,
She killed Sisera on a spur.
Naomi was a good mother
To her daughter-in-law named Ruth.
Ruth left her all to follow God,
Was one of Jesus’ ancestors.
Prayerful Hannah in her youth
Gave child Samuel back to God;
Intelligent Abigail soothed
King David’s wrath, became his wife.
The young maid of Israel smoothed
Naaman’s healing from leprous strife.
Daring Queen Esther without fear,
Saved the Jews from being wiped out.
What can I say of blessed Mary?
She bowed to God’s will with all cheer.
Dorcas, Lydia did not pout,
Active were they in church early.
Women from all walks of life are
Found in the Bible to teach us,
Each, in her own way, is a star,
A vessel for God, a great plus;
Rhoda, Priscilla and others,
All are equally paramount,
Only a few have I mentioned,
Sisters, daughters, wives and mothers,
There are so many, I can’t count,
Let’s learn from them as intentioned.

It was an EVEning to remAMBER for Jane,
WEN DA men gathered in the GLEN,
OL I VER there were Taylor's friends uNOAHn
So, she was STEPH AN' FREDDYn' alone
Then HER MAN, Taylor, called out
In an almost drunKEN stupor of doubt,
"WIL MA' DARLENE come here please?"
She was AL FRED but he PERSISts.
She went half-hearTEDly JUST IN time
To see him NEIL there in the grime,
"WILLIE MARY me, Jane?" he asked her,
even as the loud CAROLINE got BETTY.
She couldn't even MARSHALL her thoughts,
But simply NODDY 'yes' through the tears she fought,
"Oh! KENN ETH be?" Taylor said in a whispered hush,
Then cried out to the ESTHERs, "SHANN ON and IGNATI US".
His wish was GRANTed that memorABEL night,
Jane was ulTIMOTHY his after his long 'single' plight.
All his friends were FELICITY Taylor and Jane,
This memory would throughout their OLIVEs remain.

Be faithful in your time
this is the day of small things
but God has called you out for Him
to hold fast His truth that He brings
Be faithful to the practice of prayer

to call on His name each blessed day
being on your knees forever driven
Be faithful to His inspired word

show Christlikeness as seen from above
This is the day God called you too
to stand strong for your risen king
His royal sceptre and glorious crown

(Esther 4: 13 -14 " And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: "Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows, whether you have come into the kingdom for such a time as this.")
Today’s a Jewish holiday
(It’s Purim) so, of course,
We celebrate by eating,
Which I heartily endorse.
The treats of choice are hamantaschen,
Triangles of dough
With prune or poppy filling
First baked many years ago.
They’re called this based on Haman
Who set out to kill the Jews.
The mention of his name’s drowned out
With groggers or with boos.
He wore a hat (3-sided)
So the pastries bear this shape.
Queen Esther foiled his evil plans
And helped the Jews escape.
Remembering, we eat our fill;
Each hamantash’s bite
Reminds us of the story
While it fills us with delight.
Women of the Word
Some wore finest linen –
Others wore wool;
Some wore the silk of royalty –
Some wore cotton, some muslin;
Some were called to great things –
Others walked with sorrow
Some were called to ordinary days
All were called by God
Some lived in a palace
In Jerusalem
Some lived in a simple tent
One from the land of Moab
Some lived in Judah
In the flowing hills
Some made their home in far off Galilee
All lived in the Lord.
And see, their lives reflect their God
These handmaids of the Lord
Oh, these women of the Word.
One was named Sarah
One was called Ruth;
There was a queen named Esther
Deborah, Martha and Anne;
Elizabeth and Abigail
Tabitha and Hannah
A girl named Mary in quiet Nazareth
All said “Yes” to God
And see, their lives reflect their God
These handmaids of the Lord
Oh, these women of the Word.
They plant the seeds to birth at harvest
Grind the flour for the bread
Gather family at the table
See that all who come are fed
Share their stories with the children
Put their hands to every kind of task
They are wives and mothers, sisters
Who work and share their giftedness.
Some wear denim blue jeans
Others love pink
They live their lives of faithful love
Lives of courage and hope
They put their hands to simple tasks
In the service of God
No matter which age they’re called to live
They are women of the Word –
Oh these Women of the Word
