Sunday Morning
Sunday morning
Cries of hipocritic
Pastors awaken me
They disturb my sleep,
I can't get the weekend rest
With these Churches
All over the streets.
Practice as you preach
You can't fool me,
Tell that to the fools
Who come to listen to
fools like you.
Salvation is in Christ
I know where to find him
He lives right in my heart.
And my uprightness keeps
him there.
Religion is love,
Love for humanity,
And for God our maker,

Since You Left
My dear, since you left
Rain of tears have been
Falling down my eyes.
My dear, when you left
My eyes knew no smile,
You took all with you
When you left.
My dear, what would I do
If not for your beautyful smile.
My dear, since you left
This cold has become
My best friend without
You to hold?
Since you left, my dear
Since you left.
My life knew no other you.

Sade
SADE
whenever you see me falling
Please come to my aid.
.
SADE
Whenever you see the birds singing
Know it is me calling.
.
SADE
Whenever you see me pensive
know it is you I am missing.
.
SADE
Whenever you want to fall,
Please fall into my love.
.
SADE
Have you yet heard my serenade?
It is for you I am singing
.

Another Wrong Song
my love,
she has come
and gone
like the
morning dew,
if only i knew,
love can be
so cruel
and the vacuum
she made in
my heart
still hurts like
a dart,
and i am sad
tonight it's
so lonely
in my room
without her
beside me.

Let Us Listen Together
I can be nice at times,
If not, check my smile
It lights your life,
My life,
Don't be an idiot
Thinking I could be a eunock
My organ, between my thighs
For procreating other lives,
Your life, together with my life
Make up the world, our world
Made of love, from chaos, by God
COME
Let us listen together
God, our creator, our father, our maker
Is in highest forever, and ever
Lucifer, our antagonist, is in lowest forever
Dragging me, you, we, us, to the abyss for eternity

Too Late for Haste (Time will stop for You)
Too late for haste,
Hear from me the truth
For time will stop for you
And my voice you shall hear again
But then it will too late.
Too late for haste
For you are heading for doom
Doom will be your destiny
Is this also your priority?
Hear from me the truth
For gloom will be your eternity
Endless decades in Tartarus
Kingdom of Hades.
Too late for haste
Hear from me the truth
They are cming for your soul
I hear them these days in my sleep
They call for souls of dead

I Carry Hell in My Heart
So much evil in your eyes
I see it too in your heart
Your heart which carries
My love, my love for you
And your evil for me.
And you want me dead
You want me in Hell.
How can I go without
You to lead me there?
.
I carry Hell in my heart,
This leads me away from evil,
From social vices,
From things of the flesh.
They want to lead me to Hell.
Hell, you carry in your heart.
.
What do you see in me?
I see Hell in your heart,
Do you still want me dead?

What they said
Times and times I've
Heard people say:
I think he's crazy;
I don't even trust him.
But to me,
That isn't funny.
It's not so bad
That a boy so haggard,
Should write poems
That are so sad.
What they don't realise
That life had been so hard,
Wealthy brothers
Wont lend a helping hand;
Related relatives
Won't take him to America
In too much haste
They climb those ladders,
And forget needy brothers
In their hate.

Poem Of The Day
Poem of the day;
I write one everyday,
It speaks all I have
to say,
I say you hate
to be bound in chains
I say you hate
to be taken a slave.
But why do we hate
When the world
belong to us anyway.
Why do we feel shamed
When we fail
Along the way?
Why is it so difficult
To pick ourselves up
And give it a try again?
Why do we say,
we love and
worship God

A Little of Me
Two girls,
Blowing fire in my brain
How do you manage polygamy
Well, I leave that for the Arab
Or better still, my dad
He had four wives
My mum was first.
There was no peace in the house
No love in the heart
And so she left
That day she wept
While I slept
I did not know what breakup meant
For I was young
I felt we just had to move on
Today I feel dad was crazy
Leaving a wife with three kids
And extending no helping hand
But that was not the end
We suffered,
