Did You Know?
Did you know?
A season can be electrified by one music,
A dream can be awakened by one rose,
A jungle can be built by one tree making others,
A time of life can be made known by a birds tweet.

Did you know??
A cure to a soul can be done by one hand in another's,
A smile can begin a friendship,
A Star did it when searching for baby Jesus,
A Star can guide you home,
An object starts with a words,
A goal can be achieved with the fight.

Did you know???
A Nation can be ****** by one vote,
A nation can be awakened by one vote,
A touch can make a difference,
A light can erase darkness,
A laugh can make happiness.

Did you know????
A drop of water can make ocean,
A step to life starts a life,
A step from a spot starts a journey,
A word starts each conversation,
A words must surely start a prayer as well,
A hug can show we care.

Did you know?????
A difference could be made by A Life,
Though it's up to A person,
You!!!
We just have to start if we want to keep on. Olajide Paul Ataba

Oh Africa
Oh Africa!
My Mother land 
A place of resources; filled with milk and honey
A beauty of nature from tender sight
The land I belong and live
Oh Africa!!
A land blessed by God Himself 
Gold is what You are made of
Your stones are thrown from the above with some style
Crude oil is the boom that makes You proud
Oh Africa!!!


Oh Africa!
Why do You neglect Your pride
Why are You silent in who You are? 
When You converse; You use the language of the West 
Your own children try to distance themselves, fashion themselves and talk like those from the West
Your waves are filled with music;
Fast beats, foul language and heavy metal from the West. 
Even the foods You eat;
All processed and purchased from the West
You turned traditional foods and ceremonies to joke
You have forgotten who yYou are. 


Oh Africa
It's enough!!!
You slept too long 
You've forgotten that You are meant to roar
But now Your roar isn't strong
It's not until You sleep away Your Glory
Run away and take Your crown with You 
Look for Your true Soldiers 
For a day, You're made
And a day; You'll return to where You belong
Oh Africa!!!

In the arms 2
In the arms of the sun now life will be
With the rays in our breath
And a shine when we speak
Just when the heart started moving to another beat.

Out of no where a new thought found its feet
That life gives you just one shot
So why not love it with all you've got
Who knows what were waiting for.

Cause life is here and life is now
What was only a desire till yesterday
Is exactly what we've found today
Hand in hand let's always be
As we wander through our destiny.

And all day and all night
Happiness rains down on everything in sight
If it can knit a new dream everyday
Then you can call it a life
If it can lead you down a brand new day
Then you can call it life.

In the arms
Glittery romantic life is formed out of many cases of ups and downs
In the journey of world life that has to be taken to be
An adventure facing joys and tribulations now and day soon
Any hook of heart and hope to achieve the goals of life!
