Faith Not To Be Sold

FAITH NOT TO BE SOLD Joseph O. Adebanjo I have seen pain, kissed pain, lived with pain, overcame pain Deep in my oceans of pain, existed bliss, and coexisted the Son I saw the spasmodic ray of hope Flickering touch of faith upheld me I swam in my cryptic ocean of pain Basking in its flow into the ground of faith Faith lifted me, faith re-birthed me, gave me a new name Claiming my name in the flaming fame Yet standing out in the blazing flame Hopeful faith brought me this far Faith the passion that conquers pain the net that brought me out of it oceans Faith not be sold Faith to which I hold For it is dearer than the fairest cherub

Health For Our Wealth

HEALTH FOR OUR WEALTH Joseph O. Adebanjo Lord unto thee we pray for a growing wealth But dear Father to it add your ever glowing health That we may enjoy our days upon the earth. For what good is there of wealth without health And what reward has a dead man beneath The soil whose riches are stalked upon the earth? Oh Lord unto thee we pray for a teeming wealth But guide oh God as we walk this humming earth, From evil, grieve and pain we need your sheath For what is the use of wealth? If we are frail or held up in the earth beneath? Dear Father unto you we pray swarming wealth But grant health to enjoy our blazing wealth That another will not inherit our sweat For what is use of great wealth? When there is no health to rest in our sweat Dear God we fret not, for health Will you will grant unto us. From for the debt of health We will never be a guest For after our sweat, we will have perfect rest.

Sun Red Is My Love

Sun red is my love.
Fierce but gently as the dove
Flaring as a burning fire
Transparently pure yet not difficult to acquire

Sun red is my love
Brightly shinning above
Illuminating red, enlightening the sky
Beams of emotion emitting from my love pie.

Sun red is my love
Vast is the ocean thereof
Deeply refreshing, ever rejuvenating
Ever blissful, never grievous.

Sun red is my love 
Gently caress it, for it is fierce 
Drink and acquire it for blissful ecstasy
Let it irrigate you from deep within.
