Great Answer From Mentor

How would you 
discern,when you 
trouble,When life and 
feelings pictures 
struggle:If you find 
yourself in a jungle-
Findind yourself at the 
extreme corner of the 
world:Your sentience 
becomes somehow 
sore?       Day you 
understand your life 
record,Waking hours 
you are called as 
expiator-Telling us to 
listen to your 
testimony:When your 
prayer only on 
satiety.                 
Expected of you i 
sense,Thee try to ask 
the divine creator..Lest 
He be thy mentor.

Under the Greenwood Tree

Under the greenwood 
tree,under the coolest 
shadow,whose love 
with me stay..who want 
to kiss me there?          
Where a tune of sweet 
merry             Where 
birds chirping and 
singing,                        
Waiting they we want to 
sing:             Only you i 
want to 
see;                               
Come to show your how 
much,Love or what to 
think?         Love to 
live in the sun,Seeking 
my food i eat.

My Stupid Master

Come 
away 
my 
stupid 
master,          
Acceptable 
way 
i 
wish 
to 
plea-             
Driving 
me 
around 
with 
your 
decree...  
My 
year 
i 
cherished 
1960.       
I 
fear 
no 
more 
of 
thy 
heat,                     
Nor 
the 
furious 
winter's 
rages 
of 
thee
¡                             Though 
thy 
hand 
so 
unbearable,         
Never 
i 
dismay 
of 
your 
edict.                  
Come 
away 
my 
stupid 
master,          
Name 
rejected 
by 
all 
Afrika...                   
Your 
life 
of 
command 
has 
come 
and 
gone.       
Here 
you 
are 
my 
stupid 
master,          
Roaming 
around 
like 
a 
wanderer.       
Running 
like 
a 
fastest 
cheetah...   
Never 
yee 
find 
a 
rest 
for 
a 
shelter.

The Sun In This Rain

Catastrophe! 
catastrophe!! 
catastrophe!!!          
Our 
land 
so 
much 
holy 
for 
you 
i 
hear,  
As 
legs 
running 
helter 
skelter; 
Women 
on 
this 
land 
byeing 
their 
shelter. 
Catastrophe! 
Catastrophe!! 
Catastrophe!!!          
As 
children 
crying 
for 
dangling 
breast- 
in,In 
like 
the 
men 
fearless,fearing.Damsel 
of 
this 
land 
cannot 
be 
seeing.   
Catastrophe! 
Catastrophe!! 
Catastrophe!!!          
This 
mansions 
are 
meant 
for 
me,Fearless 
lion 
why 
picking 
their 
race,No 
one 
to 
tel 
me 
why 
all 
this?       
Catastrophe!
yet 
not 
catastrophe...Sun 
in 
this 
great 
rain:What 
a 
strange.

One Thousand,One Day Jesus Lover

One thousand for one 
day,Says the prodigal 
child,Two thousands 
two days,Says the 
greedy son,Your 
pocket is full of 
treasures-Your 
stomach demanding for 
something;Spending two 
days in a day,How 
would you cope with the 
rest.     Campus ladies 
have taken you 
away,Just only on their 
hot chest.MISS wasters 
welldone on your 
guys.One day they say 
byebye,Their you say 
it's normal.Your cry 
should not be in 
summer.                      
Turn back He calleth 
you,That you may see 
hunky-dory.JESUS can 
tell you a real story.On 
your He is feeling sorry.

Remember Mr Fele

Citing 
from 
this 
corridor 
of 
my 
b.q.Last 
leg 
to 
the 
house 
of 
mine 
i.q;i 
guess 
one 
enough 
for 
greater 
comprehension.       
Little 
i 
see 
man 
doeth 
in 
HIS 
time,Make 
me 
sure 
time 
for 
everything,Mr.FELE 
was 
once 
a 
carpenter.                  
Trees 
thick 
and 
woods 
he 
knows 
well,Now 
Mr.FELE 
cannot,because 
rich 
is 
he 
so.Forgetting 
his 
past 
old 
days.           
Consider 
an 
affluenced 
man 
well 
known:Now,they 
saw 
him 
pushing 
trucks 
in 
market-
Remembering 
his 
past 
good 
old 
days.                            
Time 
comes 
and 
change 
situations,In 
such 
where 
your 
position,A 
time 
to 
get 
and 
a 
time 
to 
lose..Your 
time 
determines 
by 
you.                               
Anyhow 
comes 
it 
use 
it 
will.
