"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." -Albert Einstein

A letter to my Wife for my Son (1)

My sweet, sweet Darling

You know I’ll never be hireling

To you and my beautiful little angels

But I’ve tried to living the life of evangels.

 

I don’t know when I will steady back

But make sure that my little lambs lack-

Nothing in this life. Teach them the right track

To follow, in order not to end in a wreck.

 

Teach my son that being a man

Is more than having a macho frame,

It is borne from the heart of humans

Who have brave hearts that gained fame,

Not from the three dimensional realm

But from the fourth dimensional realm.

 

Teach him to be content with what-

Life offers him. Someday, men will duff their hats-

To honor him.

Tell him that success is a journey,

The day he stops moving he’ll miss honey.

Which is more satisfactory than money.

The word will make him keep away from sin.

or sin will keep him away from the word .

teach him to stand on the truth

And never allow anybody despise his youth.

Don’t make my son be addressed as an uncouth

Individual in the society of polished diamond;

But help me polish him,

I will always be proud of him.

 

Teach him to sift out immoral-

Thoughts by the sieve of reason between the moral and Amoral.

Don’t always shield him away from evil

Teach him to use the light to fight the devil

Don’t send his bad friends away,

But  teach him how to avoid their evil ways.

Teach him the power locked in the Internet  and books,

And how to fetch it: for enviable looks;

He will attract from the intellectuals,

It has nothing to do with rituals.

Teach him to know himself.

Teach him to clear the shelf-

Of his mind and heart from fear:

But only God to reverently fear;

He’s my special Child.

(31) To my wife 4 my son (II)

Teach my son to be instant in season

And out of season, never try to tell my son

To follow the “instant-this-and-that-impatient-

Generation” but should learn to be patient.

 

In all life’s endeavours,

If he wants to gain many favours,

He must learn to wait for his time,

Life may taste sour for him like lime-

In the beginning, but it will pay off with time,

When his rhythm of life, will successfully rhyme.

Teach him not to go for today’s trifling dime,

For tomorrow’s abundance he will get without committing any crime.

Teach him to learn how to cry and laugh

Over hurts and pains which seems rough

But will mould him to become very tough.

Teach him manners

Teach him respect.

Teach him punctuality and regularity,

Teach him kindness,

Teach him gentleness,

Teach him bravery,

Teach him the power of decision making,

Teach him his right as a child,

Teach him sex education (body metamorphosis)

Teach him these stages, childhood, youth-hood and fatherhood.

Teach him to know people, peopled and unpeopled places, and powers.

Teach him to know people’s possessions & positions.

Teach him to know God and His savant servants.

Earn it

A man saved a city
From an impending danger
Later they crowned him ‘Hero’
This title, he earned it.

A man saved a school
From complete academic collapse
Later they made him ‘Principal’
This promotion, he earned it.

A man saved a church
From terrible moral shame
Later they ordained him ‘Deacon’
This ordination, he earned it.

A woman saved a child
From severe famishing hunger
Later medical Doctor became he; also saved he her life
This free medical attention, she earned it.

A woman tried to force respect
From a community she never served
The result, she was booed chased out of town
This woman didn’t earn it.

A cleric entering a religious community
From the podium, he cried ‘listen to me!’
The congregation ignored him
This cleric didn’t earn it.

A man forceful ‘demanded’ for free meal
From a restaurant; he was served an empty plate
The stewards spited him
This man didn’t earn it.
Earn it by learning
Earn it by Courage/Sacrifice
Earn it by service
Earn it by your initiatives.

A Great Lesson

 

 

 

 

A lesson later I learnt from this,
When the master sends you soul fishing of his
Make sure you hear his instructions to the latter
Or else excitement will make you scatter
All the souls when fishing you’ve gathered.

         The Christian

When a Christian fails to pray,
He will not fail to be a prey
When a Christian fails to study
His life will definitely be unsteady
When a Christian fails to be a witness
No need for a prophet to predict a weakness
When a Christian fails to visit
His life will be full of deficits
When a Christian fails to work
His life will be divided like a fork
When a Christian fails to believe
His life will not be full of relief
When a Christian fails to ask
He will never receive to solve a task
When a Christian fails to be known by deeds
He is not a Christian indeed.

Improve It

When a scent is sprayed in a room
That room will not be the same but will boom
From the smell of the scent
Until you will find it lent-
Out to neighboring rooms.

Influence is like a scent,
We are expected to send
Our influence abroad to many
Places we find ourselves even when without penny.

Don’t leave a place the way you met it;
Try your best to improve it a bit.

The reason why you are in that
Church, house, office or place is to make it fat.
The reason why you are in this
World is to improve it from hiss to bliss
The reason why you are born
In that family is to make destiny turn
For the better, for everybody
To end up becoming somebody-
Important in this life of ours;
When you really make it yours.

If it falls your lot to serve
Anybody anywhere, don’t swerve.
Do it as the ultimate opportunity
To make the world a better community.

To the Dreamer

I have always liked you
Until I found out that you
Think it is not yet due
For you to actualize those dreams with heavenly dew

What is actually keeping you?
I don’t think it is fair for you
To keep stacking up such dreams to yourself,
Get those dreams off the shelf
Of your heart and mind to share;
And God will send the fare.

Don’t cry!
Just try!!

When you keep that dream alive
She will grow and keep you till you arrive.
She will bring smiles to your face
And the faces of others in this race.

Don’t hurt the fragile dream,
For attention; tenderly touch her and she won’t scream.

Thank you for your dreams!
But make it rise to the top like creams
From un-skimmed milk.

Changes 2

Make as few changes as you can
Trees often transplanted bear little fruit.
If you have difficulties in one place
You will have them in another;
If you move because it is damp in the valley,
You may find it cold on the hill.
Where will the ass go
That it will not have to work?
Where can a Cow live
And not get milked?
Where will you find land without stones
Or meat without bones?
To fly from trouble
Men must have Eagles’ wings.
Alteration is not always improvement,
As the Pigeon said when she got
Out of the net and into the pie.
There is a proper time for changing,
And then mind you, bestir yourself;
For a sitting hen gets no barley;
But do not be on the shift forever,
For a rolling stone gathers no moss,
Stick-to-it is the conqueror.
He who can wait long enough will win.
This, that and the other
Anything and everything,
All put together make nothing in the end;
But on one horse a man
Rides home in due season.
In one place the seed grows,
In one nest the bird hatches its eggs,
In one oven the bread bakes,
In one river the fish lives.

Vision

Where there is no vision,
The people will perish without mission
Where there is no contact,
There will be no contracts
History can never be made without events
So, where there are no events,
Dull history will be the eventual.
The best tact for making-
History is through contact. Making
Great histories emanates
From making great dates
And contacts with great eventualities
That will uncover great personalities.

The man I Love

 

He likes me

But never wants

A hug from me.

He likes me

But never wants

Me to sit with him.

He likes me

But doesn’t want

To go out with me.

He likes me,

But never owns up

That he loves me.

He likes me,

But I’ve ne’er seen

Him do the die hard things.

He likes me

But he’s chicken hearted.

If he really does

Let him own up

And give me a hug.

If he really does

Let him own up

And give me a hug.

If he really does

Let him own up

And give me a peck.

If he really does

Let him own up

And date me.

If he really does

Let him save me

Like a princess in Arabian tales

From the fiery cage

Of tyranic  loneliness.

If he really does

Let him cross seven seas,

Let him fight seven-headed beasts,

Let him break the gates,

That keeps me away

From the “man I love.”

If he really knows

That I really love him

He won’t do

What he’s doing to me,

O God!

Please help him;

To be a real man.

Giving (By John Ploughman)

What I spent I had
What I saved I lost
What I gave I have
Giving is true having
Giving to God is no loss:
It is putting your substance
Into the best bank.

Earn all you can
Save all you can
Invest all you can
And then give all you can.

Still strive to get on
For poverty is no virtue
And to rise in the world
Is to a man’s credit
As well as his comfort.


I wish you
Long life and prosperity
Sufficient of wealth
And abundant health,
Long years of content
And when life is spent
A mansion with God in glory.

Tithe

If you want your life situation to be tight
Do you know what? Don’t Tithe.
Give a hard fight,
And claim to be right.

You are already on your way
To becoming poor into abject poverty
Allow stinginess to hold sway
And you will lose e’en your choiced property.

When you pay your tithe,
You will gain insight
Then, you can successfully fight
To be opulent with all your might.

If you want your life
To be synonymous with poverty
Until men can describe you
Only by poverty, don’t tithe.

Remember, the wicked does not tithe;
His wealth is preserved for the right.

Faceless

 

There are different kinds of faces

In this life of many races.

Some faces are touched with grace,

While others are laced,

Others have frustrated faces.

With confused lives like maces.

 

There are faces spoiled by circumstances

While others are spoiled by substances.

 

Some faces wear a bold frame,

Some faces wear a weak frame.

While some faces look friendly

Other faces appear deadly.

 

Do you know me? Well I don’t think so,

Do you know how my face looks like?

Do you know how my eyeballs look?

Well, I don’t know you.

I mean I’ve never seen your face,

Though, I’ve heard a lot ‘bout you.

 

I wish to cast my pupils on you,

And gaze ‘pon a new ‘cquaintance.

For now I remain faceless

Till my face faces your face of grace.

And gaze ‘pon you’re your ordered stains

‘pon thin sheets of wood.

 

Keep coordinating the stains

From thoughts of your gray matter,

‘pon thin sheets of wood.

 

I remain faceless until my presence unveils

My true identity and make me wear a face.

Think

Many people think

No, everybody goes through this link.

Why do we have to think?

I believe in moving to the brink allowing those thoughts to sink.

 

When thoughts taketh possession

It takes us to a new position.

When we allow the words to rule

We will also rule with them as on a mule.

 

Come,

Sit down,

Take deep breath; inhale,

Then release it; yea exhale

Now you can set your mind a’thinking

And allow God’s word go a’sinking

Deep down into your heart

For you to rule here on earth,

And prepare for leaving the earth,

To our new place of mirth.

 

When you think too much

 Worries will be the result of such

Therefore, think good things;

Think God’s things.

Write

 

Write,

Right?

If you don’t write

You will never right a wrong.

But if you don’t right a wrong,

You will never write a right

A wrong,

Is a societal ill,

That eventually kills.

The art of writing thrills;

When you find that it can cure

The societal ills to the core.

When you see it as your right to write

But don’t make writing a rite.

When you write

The wings of the printed page

Will spread your thoughts, without plenty wage.

Your words will leap over boundaries

Into Palaces, towns, homes, countries

And even the territory of enemies

 

When you want to convey

Your thoughts in words today;

You have to write, I pray.

When you utter your thoughts

The wind will steal your worth.

 

Though pictures speak more

Than a thousand words. For sure

Only words can explain what

The picture is portraying in worth.

 

When you want to lay bare

Your mind; write, don’t spare.

Loneliness

 

O loneliness,

Why did creator create thee?

I wake up some days and I’m worry-free

When you come around then you just spoil my day

And I feel so much of a clay.

 

O loneliness,

I like you around me only if I can overcome you

These days I know you

For your schemes are no more new

When you come around I will ride upon you

And get to a happy destination without you;

Because I know that you hate company.

 

O loneliness

Sometimes I like to be alone by myself

Yet, I hear your whisper of doom

Entering into my mind’s shelf

All because you don’t want my life to bloom.

 

O loneliness

You made Elijah lost his ministry

You made many couples part ways in misery

You made King David commit the bad with Beersheba

And his son with the Queen of Sheba.

Many men became great by overcoming you

Some fell by underestimating you.

 

O loneliness,

I learnt that you steal precious years

Of many mortals and left them with many tears

Only God, I know can give holy cheers.

Hey Lazy Boy!

 

Hey lazy boy!

Do you know that your life is not a toy?

Wake up if you are still sleeping

To the realities of life with leaping

Into what your life is designed

To become, which many have resigned

From. The way you are going

You will end up knowing

That the path you take in this life

Will sum up your success in life.

 

Do you think you will ever grasp success

Seeing that you wake up by 8am to access

Failure into your life everyday?

Authentic success comes to disciplined

Boys that wake up as early as 5am

 

If you want parents, peers and society

To admire your life, then propriety-

Is what you need to cultivate in your

Life; then the world will be yours to tour.

 

Stop turning on that bed like hinges

Come off that bed and take a swinge

Into the real world.

Don’t go unarmed, go loaded with the real Word.

Hey Trouser Girl

 

Hey trouser girl!

Do you know how you cause the mind of men to whirl?

When those trousers you wear?

You don’t need to ask me to swear.

I don’t have problem with those slim pretty girls,

But with those fat girls

That swing their ‘big tails’ in those trousers

Causing psycho-moral jam to us brothers and concerned sisters.

Well, to the pure all things are pure,

But do you know how long it takes to get a cure

From the moral damage caused by fat-arse?

Causing men to hit ‘car rears’ when watching ‘her rears’

Especially those whose trousers is a second skin,

So tightly close to their flesh for sin

To creep lustfully into the heart-

The target of the devil’s fiery dart.

 

Your Royal Plumpness, I pray, if you must wear

A trouser, I suggest a beach wear

Then you will avoid some men from watching your rear.

I say this without fear

For many homes you have caused to tear

When your tails you wag without fear

Of God in those skin tight trousers,

Implicating all other beautiful sisters

Who think what you do is great

They know not that they’ve lowered their moral rate

Here, I drop my poor pen,

As I mourn the plight of poor men

That have fallen prey to wagging tails

In trousers that have bad omen.

Granny’s Advice

 

Grand-Child,

When  thou growest up

Many things will threaten thee to stop

Thriving to be an accomplished man

Keep your head up and high

 

Grand-Child,

You are a Child of destiny

Don’t ignore any details in your life though tiny

That white man’s creature that roles on its fours

Will some days ahead be yours.

 

Grand-Child

You will ride many exotic types of this creatures

But keep your dreams to mature

Don’t allow any other; your dreams to torture

But you should do that with many lectures.

 

Grand-Child

The God that created the moon will not fail thee

The God that created the sun will not fail thee

The God that created the eagle will not fail thee

The God that created the tiny little ant will not fail thee

The God that created the sparrow watches over thee

 

Grand-Child

When thou listen to people

And learn from people,

Someday, a sea of people will live to see you live to be great.

Work

 

Work is the life-wire

Of a very strong and virile economy

Where the labor force have a strong desire

To work and transform their economy.

 

A dwindling economy is as a result

Of idle men yielding their selves as workshops

For the devil to render them as baskets full of insults

Until they crumble the wheel of commerce to a full stop

 

A lazy man hates to work

With his hands, waiting for luck

I dare to swear that he will be shocked

To find out that up to his grave he will find no luck.

 

Work is a comrade

Of those that want to leave a legacy.

They engage in a well meaning trade

That is full of great fancy

 

Work works when we set our minds to work

Luck works only when we set our hands to work

Receive counsel from the good old book

Let him not eat; he that does not work

 

I bet my life on it, let him be fed with gravels

Then he will learn how to find sustenance himself not minding if he has to travel

To pray you ought to;

But to work? Yes you must!

 

I’m ‘gainst workaholics’ stress

‘cause they cherish not the pearl of rest

 ‘nd ruin their lives with plenty stress

in order not to rest-in-pieces, I hope they’ll learn to rest

 

If you don’t know what work

Is all ‘bout, go to the Ants

The great comrades of work

They’ve left a lesson for the ‘I can’ts’ (I can’t do this-‘nd-that sort of a thing)

 

People don’t cherish lazy men

But hard working men.

For your work to work; work on your work

‘cause nothing works like work.

I Can’t

 

Before a child approach 216 months

He must have heard thousands

Of ‘I can’ts’ through these months

Contrary to the ‘I can’ factor.

 

I can’tism have ruined many striplings

I canism is our clarion call to striplings

Doing many of the things we claim we can’t;

In the real sense and tense we can.

 

Can’t got stuck in the mud

But only try brought it out

You can can your can’t

I believe can, can can can’t

 

Can’t can’t can can’t;

But can, can can can’t

If you can drop the ‘t’ out of can’t

You now certainly can.

 

You can do it

You can make it

You can’t just waste your life

On things that can’t yield life

 

‘I can do all things through Christ’says Apostle Paul

‘Who strengthens me’.

There are things you can do something about

There are things you can’t do anything about.

 

Let sleeping dogs lie,

I know you won’t just die.

I can’tism is always the problem

I canism is always the possible cure.

 

 

The Power of Sight

 

‘Remember the blind man;

that our Lord Jesus Christ healed?

First he saw people like trees

Later on he was entirely healed.

 

People still see others like trees

They still see their dreams and visions like trees

They still see thing so hazy

They end up becoming lazy.

 

What can you see with your eyes

What you see you become

What you see you testify about

What you see you partake in.

 

What did father Abraham see;

When God told him to lift up his eyes and see?

A great land full of hopes and dreams

Which of cause he actualized.

 

What did Moses see on Mount Sinai?

What did Ham go to see in his Dad’s tent?

What did Eve see in that fruit?

What did those in Sodom and Gomorrah see in Lot’s house?

 

Where there is no sight

 There will be no insight

When there is no insight

There will be no hindsight.

 

Doing

 

Doing is a verb

I believe it is also a herb.

 

If a man wants to become.

He must set doing in motion.

If a man wants a great welcome;

He must respect doing in our nation.

 

Doing and don’t are strange  bedfellows

Where one leads the other follows.

 

Where there is no do

There will not be a progressive fro and to.

 

Didn’t refused doing

 

Because doing is an optimist

While, he is an ardent pessimist.

 

Did is a sped arrow,

Didn’t is enough sorrow.

Do is a horse before a cart,

Doing is the horse pulling the cart.
