Love Song

'We' you and i
drink not from same water,
But in ablutions
We prepared in spring
For a beautiful day

Have you ever had a dream
Tell me, if yes
In whispering- hold my head
I know soon, they will get jealous

Ibasepe- is not in our dictionary
Ti nba ti mo, we speak not,

Let the love flows
Osun- so ngbo.

The World Is In Need

The world is in need
The blind could see
The deaf could hear
No one is ignorant of its pain

The shame is glaring
The reproach is at the door step of all.
Making the rich poor
And the poor becoming rich

All are captive of something
Even the so called champion
Cry sonorously in private
When the least publicly laugh away their shame

Our inability could be an advantage
To account for bountiful gain in time
But the failure we couldn’t see
Is an hindrance to our success story

The world is meant to be an abode of success
But cannot account for its destiny
Everyone makes themselves a problem
Seeking opportunities for a better days not a better life

How would the world be fulfilled
When men are yet willing.

Lonely But Strong In Love

Next seems to far
To see a loving heart
The more i think of been close
The more i felt the distance.

Let me hear you sing
Please, come kill my boreness
Let me see you smile
And feel the warmness of your presence

I'm lonely but happily strong
I'm strong and full of joy
I'v got want many don't have

The World Today

<>The day was not like before
the night seems to be darker
and the whole world are
facing the consequences
and to cop is not that easy
because the task is not an easy one
Pray 4 d world
plead 4 your nation
and show love to your brethren
Am already on my knee

Love Speaks

<>Don't miss the lyrics
while listening to the melody
the melody are all yours
 Don't ask me my name
but identify me by my nature
don't ask your friend if i'm around
your neighbor cant tell you my best
 The whole world knows m name
but few are able to identify me
many enjoy my melody
but little know the lyrics and all agree that i'm sweet
 I then look at them as ignorant s
some people said because of me they
are cheated another said
they capture them because of me
 I then asked people why
I've said it times without numbers
my name is not enough
you need to know me in person
that's when you can fell
and know my nature
My melody is not enough
you need to know the lyrics
for you to know the message
i'm trying to pass and not be carried away

I don't desire to loss anyone
so why die because of me
i'm to put smile on every face
why then do you cry because of me
 Some say I'm scared
and some doubt it if i
truly exist when I'm always
around for people, but there
is no reasonable communication
between us which give ways for
strange occurrence
 Try to know me especially
who i am and search little 
for my name
 LOVE SPEAKS

Nigerians Are Full of Dreams

<> Nigeria, A pillar but not a stronghold; 
Our leaders, A watchers not shepherd; 
And our people are gifted, but they don’t have a platform.

Without a platform to display
What you have (your gifts) 
How then can it be fruitful, 
How can it multiply and bring forth many
That is the main reason we are left behind, 

Even as a nation.
We are gifted, but we have
No place to show-case our talents, 
Neither do we have a show-room: 
We are born-to-reborn.

But we are for long pregnant, 
But no labour room, neither a bed
Where we could give birth.
Some unfortunately fell on ground
And have been mixed up with sand, 
It became polluted.
What do you expect from a seed
That fell on a bad ground? 

What do you expect of a nation
That fell on he wrong hands? 
And what do you expect of a nation
Dying and has what can preserve her,     
Will she give it to who so ever calls
For it and squander her substances.
People don’t think about those things.
Our Government have a fixation
For Nigeria, but they have fixed Nigerians.
This is a time to think and not to sink.

Foreigner

Let me sing a foreign song
To the hears of my foreign friend
Let me dance with foreign moves
To the beat of my foreign art

She said she believed a foreign friend
That came far from a foreign land
She speaks calm to the foreign quest
And two foreigners look like a regular

Sing to me and hear a foreign melody
Save me from been a toreador
Fighting for love in a strange land
Call me my name and sing my pedigree

She Smiled

In the morning of the night
Teen acting beyond limit
She wasn't fit but fast
I wasn't surprise but afraid

She was not in Rome, but walks like Romans
Her claim is far beyond her reach
Ajiun nra ja tete
Ori olodi oja atana

She was alleged, she smiled
She was accused, she laughed
Longing for the long trip
She's at the middle of her end.

The World, the Storyteller

In-between the babel of a troubled soul
In abeyance, the thought of neglection arose
The blood boiled, the body cooked
The figure fell in flat command
The jurist justified themselves unjust

multitude babbled, the wise bundled
Oko-Oloko dun Pokete
Prita Iyalaaje, Aloo apaamo
The world, the storyteller

No baccalaureate for success
Potentials would have been seen
We fear no test or challenges
Drive not us like cabby
We own our world, we rule our world

in pain of the real, you laugh
Children will clap it in moonlight story
Our mouth will be open in laughter in your tears
The world will read the reality

Painting life like it has no remaining
Hope traded for bread, hunger present
Faith traded for cloth, nakedness covered
Sleeping-waking, friction projected
They laughed our wacky life.
