Dear Christ; Thanks For Sharing Your Soul
You pulled me from
The depth of abyss
And dragged me
Through the gates
Of hell to earth,
You gave me a life,
A new life.
By giving up yours
For mankind,
You gave me a chance.
A second chance
To make make up
For all my past wrongs.
Is this not love?
Dear Christ; thanks
For sharing Your soul.

I will Say your Name
Rose I will say your name
Your name that is burning in
My head like wird fire
Your name that took me from
My reality and my dreams
To where I never knew existed.
Rose, I am heading for your love
I hope your love dont leave me
Where you left me.
'Cause I would be lost in love
Lost in love with you.

Heaven's Gate
Grass over my grave
So I died,
So long before you cried.
And now I wait at Heaven's gate,
Will they let me pass?
I doubt.
The things I did in my past
They now stand on my way
At Heaven's gate.
Lucifer! bare my heart,
Christ! hear my cry;
I wait at the gate
To your heart,
And they wont let me pass

Parenthood [ I never knew a Father ]
Parenthhood!
I never knew a father
He did the did
And went to sleep
On my mother's laps
He left me to sink
If not fate I would
Be gone in oblivion
.
Hollywood, can you
Still make a character?
Today, my father is
Such poor character
His life is suspended
In a cliff hanger
And I can't make
It any better.

I Write
About this world with end
I write
Where I was brought upon,
Amidst this rot
Where hands are laid on the Bible
But the Bible is never opened,
Where doctrines are preached
But never practiced,
Where kleptomaniacs
And lootersand thieves
Control politics.
.
About this hell on earth
Men call life,
I write.

Immunity
They have immunity
They never go to prison
So they abuse public authority.
Nigeria's constitution
needs reformation.
Lest leaders
Shall remain looters.
They rig elections,
And say it's now a culture
- They kill public trust,
- They kill this nation.
Godfatherism and barbarism.
Will destroy our federalism.

You Did Not Break My Heart
When you left me like that,
You did not breake my heart.
All you did was bring me
Unto a realisation that
There could never be anything
Like true love.
I have always regarded you
With proper respect,
But love cannot always come
From one heart,
Unless you play your own part
My efforts will know no impact.

Silver Spoon
Silver spoon,
I was born with non
And I have to make one
Even if it cost my life
I will strive
And pay the price.
Watever they like
Let they say
In my heart, I still pray.
My unevent life
Frought with strife,
And now, all I seemed
To have achieved is life
Sweet life, I can't let go,
So good I have hope.

Heart Breaker
Like a lunatic I stood and
Stared at beauty's glance
She asked: Are you in
trance?
I said: I think I'm in love;
Sorry she said: I will break
your heart.
From me, men and men
Have come and gone
None of them ever left with
hope;
I'm a chronic heart breaker.
Don't you, don't you know
That love will never get better?

I am not a Metaphor
I am not a metaphor
Nor illusion, I am a poet;
A poet intruding into your
Conscience each day.
I do not judge you
As I do not know you.
You did me wrong when you
Judge me and yet dont know me.
Our life is different, so is our fate.
We may go to the great beyond
Today, but the legacy we teach,
Is what live after us.
