In His Vineyard

In His Vineyard
We fed and bred
Health and wealth
We were nourished and flourished
Happy
Riding on fine horse
Until
He came to pluck us
Then
Became grumpy and dirty
Hungry and Thirsty
Frightened
But
Now enlightened
We are back to Eden
In his vineyard
We feed and breed
Health and wealth
Here
We are nourished and flourishing

You Inspired This Sonnet

You inspired this sonnet
Laced with rhymes in harmony
I can sing it, blow it in a trumpet
Not one note will sound phony
Your physique tells the beauty story
In your dimple, lilies will flourish
At your smile in all its glory
The body quakes, my soul is nourished
The beauty in your inward soul is a wonder
The sole of your feet is crested
Whether here, there or for yonder
The tale of your beauty cannot be contested
Oh my lovely princess
Even thy shadow lives me breathless

All must fight,
Unfortunately, all can’t win,
For most’s weapon are carnal.

You can’t afford to be passive and weak,
Tossing, changing sides on your bed,
Won only by vigilance and constant supplication.

This that war,
Won not by fidgeting and murmuring,
Striking deals with Assyria and the Amorites,
But by steadfast worship and praise of Jehovah.

This that war,
Won not by expertise and strategy,
Lying in wait, seeking opponent’s weak points,
Won only by heading to instructions.

Marriage Fears (Pidgin Version)

Marriage!
You yan am, my heart race
A lady 24/7 look my face
Na me go dey plead her case
Now my uniform go be lace
I never wan crase
Neva need someone, unlike Faze

Marriage!
You yan am, some go feel rage
For this age
Make I put myself for cage
Even Solo wey just engage
Don dey seek another page
Thier love tank no dey gree gauge

Marriage!
You yan am, some go rake
What if the geshi na fake
And no dey quick wake
