FOR LOVE

What do you say?
We take a chance for love
I don't know much about love
But it's worth the sacrifice

A JOURNEY OF NO RETURN

A few second shall pass
A few minute shall pass
A few day shall pass
A few week shall pass

A few month shall pass
A few years shall pass
We will embark on a journey
A journey of no return

A day set for all into judgment
You can't influence the future
You can't run away from death
And can't buy away your freedom

Remember you are stranger on earth
Our destiny is in the hands of God
Don't despise the world
Its made of love and hate

LIKE A BUTTERFLY

Fly like a butterfly
A creature in love
With nature and life
 Gentle and tender in heart

SMELL THE ROSES

Do you smell the roses?
In the garden of my heart
Do you feel the buds springing?
By the touch of your smile

SINCE I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU

It's been raining
Since I fell in love with you
Can't shield this feelings under the umbrella
Emotion is falling deep

Feels good to be in love with you
Now and forever
Its obvious you are all I need
As life goes by

I try to paint a picture
But can't portrait the love I found in you
There are times the day is bright
Because you are by my side

TO LOSE A HOME

To the families displaced by the storm in Haiti.

Helpless souls mourning
Hearts crying
Tears falling from the sky
Man striving to survive

Why is life so cruel?
Inflicting pain in our homes
Stealing away our happiness
In the middle of a sunny day

Why must the heart suffer?
When everyday we pray
Isn't the world created perfectly?
I thought this to be true when I was young

The world is beautiful
Enough to hold dreams 
Dreams of children playing in the park
Friends hugging each other smiling

Couples on a honeymoon 
Family taking pictures on a holiday
A mother bathing a newly born baby
But all this memories are gone

YOU WALK AROUND

You walk around
Like an angel who lost her path
I see a pretty girl looking sad
Can't help that I am drawn to you

Allow me to keep you company
It's going to be dark soon
Can I walk you home?
Where ever you wish to go

My heart I give to you
To keep warm your feelings
Never want the night stranded
Permit me to stay by your side

REDEMPTION

I woke up in the middle of the night
Little children kidnapped
I saw the whole world crashing before me
Famine and starvation in Maiduguri

Homes shattered, families devastated in Florida
Corruption eating away Africa
Suicide bombing ravaging the street
Girl child rapped and murdered

This is too much to bear within me
I tried to sleep but the night is scary
How can I when the world is falling apart
A world a mother and child can't be protected 

I cried many tears and pray
For the storm to go away
Fertile land for our homes and community
Human forgiven of infirmity

If only man can put his differences aside
Embrace each other with an open heart
The sins of man is leading to condemnation
Will you join me say a prayer of redemption?

MISSING YOU

In memory of KAYODE OMOYENI... May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace

Life is hard since you are not around

You watched over me when I was a little child

Taught me to stand upright for myself

When in doubt, your presence gives me confidence

It is sad and abrupt you are no longer with us

Brought into our lives beautiful untradeable memories

The tears we shed can’t be wiped away

The pain of losing you is too much to take

On that sunny day when this life will be over

We are going to be with you side by side forever

I know you are in heaven praying God to watch over us

Until the day we meet again in paradise

You were a father, a role model and most importantly a friend

The stars be bright when ever I think of you dad

We were a good team, you and I

I will stay strong for you until the day I die

I am sorry there was nothing I could do on that cloudy day

To stop the sun in your life from walking away

But I promise to you this day

Your legacy lives in our hearts each and every day

I pray God to give us the strength

In His words through storm and rainy day, be steadfast

The strength to hold on to your believe in Him

So I asked God to save the best rooms in heaven’s inn

Every thing I have, I would give up to my last breath

For you in my arms once again hold

Life will never be the same without you

Can’t stop crying, for I will be missing you

For: Omoyeni Esther

HYPOCRITES AND PARASITES

Hypocrites and parasites

That's what they are in hearts

Blood thirsty legislators

Feeding on human lives

Naive and heartless

Indifferent to the people's well-being

Of a mother hungry and homeless

Of a innocent child's future dying

Everyday you cast lots into your pockets

Pretend to be a friend in our homes

But conscience dug and buried

 Betrayed the nation's pride and left her grieved

God listens to the tears of a child

One day, thy soul upon be dammed 

For every deeds borne

To hell will burn
