A PERFECT GUY

I never said I am a perfect guy
What if I told you it is all but a lie
In my heart I hide so many secrets
I am sorry; I did not mean to be selfish

You are honest, kind, loving and caring
Everything you have, never mind sharing
The guilt of betraying your trust
It is tearing me apart

Please forgive me, I want to be your man
I have learnt to be a better man
I will take all the thrashes out
Build the walls of our relationship from the start

Allow me to fix all that is broken
For all you have got is forsaken
It is amazing to behold your beautiful smile
I will give everything away so it never dies

I could never leave you with a heart break
I will be by your side when you are awake
I never had the privilege to say thank you
The best thing that has ever happened to me is you

LOVE AND HATE

Dedicated to the victims of Benue State Killing by the Fulani Herdsmen in Nigeria

We underestimated the power of hate

See how much sorrow it brings to our gate

Every single day is another death

Our sons and daughters murdered by gunshot

Only God knows the depth of our hate

Religion is taken for a bait

Around me adversaries have gathered

They tried to take my life, but it's too late

I wondered if the lord can take the pain out

If He will ever forgive us of this insanity

How can we our grievance be buried

When a little child is afraid to sleep

If you are not careful, you maybe next

Do not let them Fool you, that it is alright

Everyone is a victim, for the society is lost

Our leaders have gone mad

With tears in my heart

I prayed for love to be shared

Here and now, so we can be one indeed

For there to be peace, love is all we need

AGAINST THE WALL

Is your back against the wall?

The heart troubled, tired and weary

And cannot find hope or courage at all

The heart on every side dying slowly

It is true the calmness of the sea

Cannot ease a troubled soul

A weak heart can bear no will

Like working with an unambitious tool

Just when you think the enemies has taken your life

Take a closer look deeply into the sky

You will notice the life we have is very brief

With angels by your side, where you fall you cannot lie?                        

Learn to look past the mirror when you are worried

And you will see the sun smile, either or not your perfect

Impossible will fly away from your path

Faith moves away the mountains and problems solved

No wonder He made man in His likeliness

Fought our every battle even unto tomorrow

He knows you cannot thread on your own without His grace

When God knocks at your door, He takes away sorrow
