WICKED WORLD

In a wicked world we stand
Where evil is having upper hand
No sympathy for the blind
Poor and handicapped

The world no longer wears a heart
There is bloodshed everywhere
While mind saturates with corruption and greed
The atmosphere is totally polluted

Sick intention creeps into human mind
As rapist and ritualist hold sway
We continuously promote homosexuality -
Immorality destroy lives more than earthquake

In the morning, all I see is hate
Man despising the beauty of the world God made
And I wonder how can this be corrected!
Hooliganism, hard drugs, human trafficking are kings

To love one another, when are we going to heed?
The battle to preserve life, should not be forfeited:
Instead throw away all negativity.
Is peace too much to ask? Stop for once and think!

THANK YOU FATHER

 Thank you Father for taking care of me
Thank you for looking out for me
Ungratefulness, I do not want to be
I know you are putting a lot of wages on me

Not that you are too generous
Not that you are callous
But because you knew I am imperfect
You have been relentlessly patient

It is true, I can not hide anything
From you the creator of heaven and earth
Lord help me to find my direction
Help me to be focus, and have determination

Thank you Father for everything
The sky, the sea and birds that sing
The air breathe in and out of me
And for loving me

TO LOSS SOMEONE YOU LOVE

Dedicated to my good friend.. Faith Egbeho, who just lost her dad. May his Gentle soul rest in Perfect peace.

Now I know the feeling
What it means 
To loss someone you love
This is indescribable
The pain growing inside my heart
I would trek a thousand miles
If I can find a way to get closer to you
I love the tender years you watched me grow

I will treasure my childhood memories 
Of walking around in your shoes
How you cuddle me in your arms
Watch me grow into someone beautiful
Last night I had an awful dream
I could not find you around to sleep by my bed
I refuse to accept that you are now gone
Who is going to watch over me?

I am not trying to get attention
But life will never be the same without you
How can I smile again, if I can not find joy
It all seem like my world is going under
I have a plan, I have made up my mind
One day I am going to make you smile again
I promise not to let you down, I will be strong 
Please wait for me, Until we meet again in heaven
