LIES




Lies make the star burn out fast
It destroys the trust build over time
It betrays the sincerity of a friend
And unlocks the key that honor’s bound

Lies throw away the future
It kills the light which binds the heart
It turns a brother into a complete stranger
And ruin the joy of friendship shared

Lies give nothing good in return
But guilt, discomfort and condemnation
It stole a pleasant memory and lives within selfishness
It plants in the heart instead a flower, a weed

TOO MANY WORRIES






Too many worries is destroying the heart
Life is filled with problems and strife
Government, the masses neglected
Injustice the poor surmounted
No heroes or glory to hold

Son and daughter no flag of hope
Can't tell how long life will cope
For the light at the tunnel is dead
On the field, man can't find bread
Who’s going to help a brother up?

Who is going to help fight this war?
For corruption is eaten the world
Fate is tossed far away from destiny
Man can only ask but wonder why
Injustice to humanity not decreed

YOU'RE NOT ALONE


As we celebrate the 8th month of the year, I want you to know that you are never alone irrespective of what you may be going through at the moment. My condolence to my brothers and sisters in the northern part of Nigeria, for the loss of their loved ones due to insurgency. This is also dedicated to everyone out there that has lost someone dear to the heart. May you find that inner peace of mind and love restored back in your life. 



Look up how the cloud fills the sky
It can accommodate all your wishes and dreams
Don't you sometimes feel the wind walking by?
When you are hurt, it is alright to cry

Life got a curtain that shades away from the past
Rest your emotions on the wind of hope cast
Let the tide ease the heart, mind, and soul
You can find the sun at the edge of tomorrow

Life may toss and turn, but it can't take away your ego
In between the light, you will find a life with purpose
After every bend there comes across a pathway
You will not go far with a heart burden along the way

Take a step at a time and don't look back
Stop dragging along with your plight of the past
Pick up your bag and shoes, for the day is beautiful
The day is not complete if she ain't part of you
