A TRUE MOTHER

Carried away by the desire to give me a life
You abandoned yours
And left your father's house for another man's
All for the picture of me and my siblings to come alive.

You embraced a strange community 'cos of your FRUITS Always on stand to cover my flaws
Preventing me from the harms that would have terminated my sojourn.
Oh, what a Sweet mother!

When my legs were tender and kneels not strong enough to pace through my daily journey
Your back made the difference for me
Like a landlord, I claimed the rent.

A place of comfort in the midst of thorns
A refuge and a safe place in danger
My favorite place to answer nature's call.

From your breast my hunger was silenced
Your breasts daily assassinated my hunger
Oh, can't stop relishing those days
Can't stop wanting more of the purest milk I've ever tasted.

Thanks to the Almighty
The One who fore-knew my desires
And to them he granted the BEST provision
I'll Cherish you till eternity.

You're the best one could ever wish for
Thanks, my gateway to earth
The one who granted my work-permit
I'll ALWAYS LOVE you Mum..

A Dark Sunday

The daily produces unpleasant products
The ear is becoming more displeased
The heart is hurt as each minute and second tick
We grief, we mourn-‘cos our heart is hurt.

The loss of precious yet again
Lives that would have made the difference
This is one but too many, divinity come console us again.
A dark and very black weekend
A stained Sunday Our nation has been badly hit
Heaven please help, it’s so devastating to the ears
and the pillars of our heart have been taken apart.

We can’t handle this, divinity come to our rescue
Could this be the consequence of our inhuman acts?
Have our iniquity come to pay us a visit?
Heaven please, we need a hug- a warm embrace we ask for
We plead for divine consolation
Let mercy come dwell amongst us-take your green card and have it.
May their souls rest in peace
And their loved ones be consoled from above
We pray, not for this Lord please!

I won’t give up

I won’t give up
Though my dream is yet to see the light
And my hope is being challenged
I won’t give up.

Even when all the light
Seem to be on strike
Just like the work force
I won’t give up.

This is not just for me
But for those who believe in me
And for the future I see
I won’t give up.

Though my way be rough
And the battle become more unfriendly
My gaze is yet on the crown
I won’t give up.

And I’ll say to myself, lift up your head
Look up to the sky
And fix your white balls on the crown
Shout to the heavens, I won’t give up.

A Soul- Mate

Someone to be there for me
To be by my side all the time
Always around me and dependable
Someone to rely on.

All I want to be is your very friend
Always by your side
Never letting you down
I always want to be there for you.

I want to be that special one
Always around you
Sharing my time with you is what I always long for.
I wanna be the one to encourage you whenever you’re down

To be by your side when all is gone
To comfort you in your discomfort.

Let me be the one to into your eyes and say,
“You can be all you’ve always wanted to be.”
