The night is young,
morrow's afar off.
Oh, there's time
Tick tock, tock tick
and the year has gone by
again.
Another season with
no bounty.
How long will you
squander the great
equalizer, oh how long?

Who can sing me the abridged version of the ancient songs so sweet,
Songs of victory,of feats so great,
Carve with passion and sealed with love,
Tales of greatness,of unabated doggedness in the dark face of tumultuous hailstorm!
But what song shall I leave in the
mouth of earthlings,to chew like the crispy lyrics of old,
Or would I just be a shadow of an ancient monument?

I may speak the language of heaven,
And have interpretations to every tongue,
I may give my wealth,all my accumulated assets to the poor,
I might even give my life, burning myself at stake,
I might have the voice of angels, all the components of orchestra in one body,
I might understand all mysteries,
operates in all the dimensions of the spirit, have access to all the portals of heaven unknown to man,
But there isn't an iota of love in me,
then am a clanging cymbal, that makes much noise and bound to fail,
Because,all things will fade, prophesies,revelations,gifts,graces,
Even Heaven and Earth will pass,
But love will never fail.It shall endure and remain forever.

Circles of Peace,of careless abandon.
Circles of love,unadulterated agape.
Circles of sweet dreams and great intention.
Circles of brotherhood and kindred spirit
Circles of umbilical trust and faithful souls,
Circles of impactful influence
Circles,oh circles of camaraderie
Circles of joy,of gospel that gladdens,
Circles of brimful moments,
Circles of memorable times,
Concentric Circles of fulfillment,
In the middle thereof have I pitched my tent !

The letter of the depressed soul
I always want to love life,
but it seems am an awful and unforgiving lover
And it seems life herself is grossly unfair to me,
Always frustrating my labour of love and very many commitments
I always get more than I want or ever deserves,
of the many struggles and pains that life serves
Maybe she forgot the concept of fair share
Or maybe others were made with iron
And I with soil.

The Song of the DEAD
The Dirge is about to begin
The banjo is heard from afar off
The intermittent sound of Ìyá-Ìlù has arouse curiosity
The dead will begin the song at twilight,
And gyrate through the night
Because this would be their last feast,
After which they are muted forever!

Visions that ripped the heart apart,
Dreams that made the soul a prisoner of passion,
Visions that made the heart skip
And made the soul sighs.
The route that encumbers the spirit,
And wearies the body
Dreams that made night a nightmare
And daybreak an herculean task.
Visions that makes die
And makes grow.
The envisioned life that requires Elephant as sacrifice and life's blood as drink offering
Tell me this would be worth it.

A Choice; Life or Death
Life, Life,Life
Oh,life,
Life so precious oh, life!
Oh, death!
Thou art the harbinger of great sorrow,
You,a thief of joy,
You exhibit callousness subtly!
Even in dire need nor abject poverty
Even in grave denial
And acute opposition,....
In alienation and utter betrayal,
Aberration would it be,
To ***** out your life
And give up the ghost.
It's not an option,
Give suicide no chance nor second thought.
Life game though tricky
And some scenario freaky,
Yea it will shatter us a little,
and tend to make us creaky,
But it will call for some period of tweaky
And in no time the darkness will varnish
The night will pass,
Ye,the cloud will disappear,
Lemon will then turn lemonade,
Grenade to pomegranate,
All strains will birth a huge harvest of grain
And all toil will be greatly rewarded,
If and only if we don't give up on life.

Be happy,
Just smile,
Don't forget to laugh out loud.
Don't scurry through life,
Take time to wait and stare,
Have no care,
Be happy,
Be your best.
Life does not debate your best.
Make your best.
And change the epic portion of your story
To a happy epilogue,
Live happily ever after.
Don't take your life.
