DEAR GOD





I have always appreciate all what you've done for me
You gave me parents that taught me
How perfect you created the world
You've been so good to me; you put my enemies to shame
You put food on my table and clothed me
You gave me a heart to love everyone around me
On stormy nights you gave me ease
Despite I have walked away from your words several occasion 
You still kept patient with me
You gave me chance over and over to make things right
Because you don’t forget your own
This is why you keep raising help anytime my hope is fragile
A man is a fool if he doesn't believe in you
Because a blind man can sense your presence
From the love, affection and helps he receives
From neighbors’, strangers and friends he meets everyday
Please give me a heart to always acknowledge when am wrong
Let me be a candle in someone’s dark life
Let me be evidence that you exist in the heart of man
And a brother to all 

GHETTO LOVE




Thinking of the days we used to fall in love
When I first meet you, you struck me like lightening
I was too shy to approach you
I was scared you were too good for me
But was astonish when you embraced me
Back then I used to get myself all dressed up
When or any time I want to come check up on you
Do you remember how I used to wait for you downstairs?
Whistle when I catch a glimpse of you at the balcony
So your dad wouldn't catch me waiting for you at the garden
I always brag about you when am with my friends
Some times when am waiting for you, I forget about my other ambitions
I concentrate all my feelings towards you
Then we never had phones, but somehow we find ways to communicate
I became keens with your neighbor’s kids
And more closer to your brothers so I can see you more often

Did you remember when your dad caught me one night?
He threaten hell out of me that night, he threaten to call the police
You were sobbing of your ordeal when he is done with me
I never told you my little secret that day
Though I was scared, but I wasn't scare because of your dad
Neither was scared of what he will do to me
I was scared that I might not see you again
I had a million flashes of what I went through for you
The sacrifices, the love and times I spent with you instead with friends
That I can’t afford to lose all that, not now nor ever
I wanted to write you a letter back immediately
To explain why we should stay strong for each other
But I didn't want you to have a quarrel with your dad
I have always wanted to see you happy and see you smile at all time
Am so discontent finding myself leaving all alone
Am doing well, but my wealth can’t give me back the love I had with you
That joy I had when I was spending time with you
Wherever you are right now, I hope that this letter finds you
I know you’ll probably be married right now
And if this letter finds you were ever you are
Can you do me a favor and keep this closer to your heart
And always remember that we once had a ghetto love    

LIFE’S JOURNEY




Life sometimes can be demanding
You’ve got to adapt to life situations as it keeps changing
The journey of life sometimes can be so rough
At times it can be smooth like driving 120km on the high way
Life always has a track laid ahead
Man's directed as he forges ahead
You will come across road blocks and sharp turns
Bridges or a straight road where you need no horns
To avoid accidents, the will to drive through
Your dexterity and skills in handling bumps
Will determine your progress in life
And the extend on how much success you will achieve in life
In achieving your purpose and aim in life
It affects how successful you will become
How rich you will be in obtaining life resources
Sober and relaxed with an assured achievable esteem
