I Believe In Nigeria

With so many battles and killings,
with slim chances of healings.
Our peace has been taking away from us,
and our glory days are far behind us.
Our nation has been torn apart,
by those whose love are from our heart.
With tears runing down our cheek,
with the killings and violence at its peak.
Every where is been flooded by innocent blood,
and our treasure been lost in the mud.
Everyday we live our lives in fear,
with so much pain that we can't bear.
People been nurtured to the highest level of hatred,
and now innocent lives are been affected.
Hatred has given birth to death,
and death taking away our precious life on earth.
With people living their lives in hell,
even when they mean to do well.
Properties are been destroyed everyday,
and thousands of lives are been laid to rest each day.

Woes And Wonders

Show me a city full of happiness,
Then i will show you the effect of their weakness.
Show me a man who is full of himself,
Then i will show you why he's a fool to himself.
Show me your success today,
And i will show you your mistakes of yesterday.
Show me a community not far from the mountain,
Then i will show you why their security is certain.
Show me a holy man,
Then i will show you why he's called a human.
Show me a man who is not afraid of death,
Then i will show him the theory of birth.
Show me an ocean of misery,
Then i will show you how to swim in victory.
Tell me the meaning of ' STOP ',
Then i will show you the way to the top.
Show me your best friend,
Then i will show you where your dreams will end.

Show me a good and caring heart,

Angel By Your Side

I don't know how it got to this very point,
But i know i'll always be there to care.
I can't say that every thing is ok,
Because i can see the tears you're crying.
I can't promise to take the pain away,
But you'll know that i won't stop trying.
When the road may seem so long,
I'll always hold you in comfort.
When you're down and out,
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own.
I know that it feels you're running out of faith,
Because it's so hard to keep believing.
When the storm of life breaks out,
I will always be there to look out.
In the mist of all your worries and tribulations,
You'll always find me by your side.
You can lay your head on my shoulders,
When your heart is deeply in sorrow.
My ears will always be ready to listen,
When you need someone to talk to.

Far From The Heavens

I see the pain in your eyes,
i see their hatred in disguise.
I can feel the pain hidden in your pride,
and i can see nobody by your side.
I can see your face been masked with fears,
and i can taste the salty solution of your tears.
I can feel the anguish running in your vains,
and i can hear your cry through your pains.
I can see your terror in your past,
and i can see your smile that didn't get to last.
I can see the path where you failed,
and i can see the truth and why they lied.
I can see the reason why you went astray,
and i can see your terrors all in array.
I can see your anger each time you cry,
and i can feel your faustration each time it didn't dry.
I can feel all what you can feel,
that feeling of an aching kneel.
I can gather the pieces of your broken heart,
and your hopes that has been torn apart.

The Time Of Albion

Here comes the birth of a new dawn,
a time when every hopes can be look up.
A moment of divine transformation,
that will change the destiny of our generation.
A generation of great attribute,
where the fate of the world will be accepted without dispute.
A generation of people with good character,
whose theme will be ' THEY LIVED HAPPY EVER AFTER '.
A time when sound of war will be forgotten,
and where every sins will be forgiven.
A time of divine & everlasting peace,
were our joy and happiness will not be on lease.
A world full of happy citizen,
with enermous blessings from heaven.
A time when evil will be erradicated,
and every single good deed will be counted.
A time full of brotherly love,
from people who are as gentle as a dove.
A realm of unity amongs nations,
where people will have to live without segregation.

The Broken Heart

Can i ever forget that you ever existed in my heart,
Knowing the pain it caused me deep down my heart.
Each time i think of how it all got to this very point,
Only helps to send shock waves down my spines and joints.
It seems the joy you brought to my life,
Was cut short before it even began with a knife.
It seems you lasted just for few days,
While deep down my heart i long for you everyday.
Wishing and hoping we can go back to the day i found you,
When the whole of my life changed to brand new.
Bringing to me the happiness i never once felt before,
And an ebullient love i once hoped for.
You gave me hope for a better tomorrow,
By erasing all of my unending sorrows.
You gave me a great sense of humour,
Each time there is a scene of a tumour.
You made my life as sweet as it can be,
Even when there are things that can sting me like a bee.
How can i forget that amazing smile of yours,
That kept me dazzling beyond many hours.

Reconciliation

I sat at the bottom of your heavenly stair case,
looking at your face that makes me abase.
Terror and fear runs down my spine,
making it seems as if our relationship may be twine.
My feet trembles at the hearing of your name,
and my soul has been sunken deep down in shame.
Every cell in my body have been swimming in sin,
making me to lose a linchpin.
My soul has been cast down to the last,
for every sinful deed i did in the past.
If only i can go back in time,
i will gladly erase every done wrongs and crimes.
Because right now my soul feel lost,
and am determined to get it at all cost.
If only i can get one more chance,
i will atone for all my mischance.
Right now my whole life has been torn apart,
and am been left with a broken heart.
Every day i falls down on my kneels,
and cry for the pains that i right now feels.

The Priceless Gift Of Motherhood

You have always been the best friend to me,
teaching and showing me what others could not see.
Blessing me with everything you do,
even when other showed me hatred with their boo.
You are the greatest gift to humanity,
and without you there will be no human community.
Your love can never be compared to none,
even in times of sadness you always bring fun.
Eachtime i think of the pains you went through for my sake,
helps to bring me bad memories that i can't take.
Especially the tears you sheard at the time of my birth,
makes me wish that you alone should be free from death.
I can't imagine the pain of carrying me for 270 days,
that is why i feel like thanking you in a million ways.
Thanks for the time you had sleepless night,
and thanks for every dream you made right.
Thanks for all the love and care,
and also thanks for wiping away all of my tears.
Thanks for believing in me when others didn't,
and thanks for blessing me with your love when others couldn't.

In Between The Valleys Of Love

Could there be a feeling stronger than this? ,
where every corner of my heart is now at peace.
Who would have thought that with each passing day,
i would long for this feeling i feel in my heart to forever stay.
It first came the very day i set my eyes on you,
it's like every thing around me changed to brand new.
You made a footprint in the dept of my heart,
it was like my whole life had a teste of a rebirth.
Then came that unique and special smile,
that made me forget my self for a while.
Looking at your beautiful face everyday,
makes me short of words to say.
All what i feel in my heart is an heart beat of love,
that keeps burning day by day like a burning stove.
All what i can think of his holding you in my hands,
and keeping everything about you in my mind.
Each day i keep wondering why God created you,
then i realised that this world will be an empty place without you.
Who said ' THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE NOT YET BORN'? ,
That is the biggest lie i have ever heared under the sun.
