On my way to love,
Heartbreak caught me,
Off guard, and hopeless,
No help, even from above.

A lesson in tragedy, to understand comedy,
A lesson in calamity, to understand tranquility,
A lesson in hunger, to appreciate bumper,
A lesson from fire, to appreciate water.

The final third,
Now the intensity glows,
They go in quite hard,
Throwing all sorts of blows;

Because it's do or die,
All lines must fall in,
Failure is boring,
This is no lie.
In Nigeria, the 'ember months have a string significance. It's when some people begin to hurry their hustle in preparation for the last month of the year when they travel to the countryside to show off their acquisitions.
For others, they go off on fervent prayers to forestall the terrible things that come with the last four months of the year. INTENSE.

Here we are,
And the next no more,
In through one door,
And then out in the cold.

Surely, you can't be serious,
What do you see in her?
Is she that precious?
Enough to die there?

The dark side of life,
Everything's got a price,
If you can't pay up,
Kindly leave, please.

The heart of a woman,
Deep, dark and unfathomable,
Only the bravest venture it's depths,
Of innumerable illuminating experiences.
