One day, it will sprout
Just like the Chinese tree
Everything blossoms in it's time
If you can but believe
I have seen the Sun set at noonday
It rose from the west
I've also seen non-entitles turn celebrities
If a blackman became president of the states
Stop living in a prison of your creation
The world awaits your manifestation
Wake up! Take your chance
You are closer than you think...

Before you die
Leave a legacy
And you'll never die
Because great minds live
They never die

Before you die
Plant a tree
It will outlive you
That the fruits may grow
And feed the next generation

When you finally die
You'll look back and say
Of a truth, I gave everything
Until i gave my all
And it is finished...

Don't run after shekels
It is pure vanity
Don't be entrapped by ego
You'll be like Nebuchadnezzer
Tell me, do you have a legacy?

Everybody knows their date of birth?
None, their date of death?
To this end, stop surviving
Start living, leave a mark
History will be kind to you

When you stand before HIM
Like the parable of the talent
How will you account for your talents?
It is never late to do right
Destinies awaits your manifestations

Support a foundation
Volunteer at special schools
Deploy your gifts freely
That's why teacher's are gods
They ascend to heaven direct

Before I die
At a ripe old age
If Jesus tarries
I'll live a mark
For generations yet unborn

The real question is
Do Poets really die?
Do Authors really die?
Your guess is as good as mine
Their works makes them immortal

From the jungles of Africa
To the Samba of South America
The Islands of the Carribean
And the serenity of Australia
I have journeyed with my pen

When I finally cross
When it is finished
Don't cry for me
Life is not in duration
But in donation
And this is a testament

I saw it in you
Even with a semblance of deniability
You tried to bury me
Oh! How well you really tried
But I sprouted again
Tell me, who can cover the glory of the sun?
None

Let me into your innermost chamber
The chamber of everlasting happiness
And nothing else in the world matters again
Even if the ribbons aren't on the trophy
The joys therefrom can only be imagined

In your perfection, I loved you
In your imperfection; I loved you more
In your arms I found a fortress, a sanctuary
No wonder I am possessed by your love

Each time I gaze into your eyes
I loose the fear of my fear
The type a Lion looses to a Lioness
All I desire is what you desire
All I want is what you want
Believe me, I was circumcised for you

With you I found the moon
And saw you gently tucked amongst the stars
Whose light illuminates my world
Gently but intentionally I followed the trajectory
Until, like Delilah, I landed on your laps

I think of you in the tiniest  details
Let's run to the field
Make out and throw caution to the wind
Take me to your temple of *******
That I may be lost in you forever

The venom in your heart
Is the poison I desire
Oh! What beautiful poison it'll be
Let me **** from your breast of love
That I may live with your love eternal
I love you "Ma Cheri"

When you stopped the calls
Stopped the early morning calls
Halted the goodnight kisses
When the "Have you eaten" stopped
I knew I have lost you

I had sleepless nights
This by far, my worst nightmare
When you stopped nagging
Stopped asking about work
You created an indelible vacuum
That non could ever fill

When was the last time you asked?
About Chioma, Halima and Silfa
When you stopped sniffing on my phone
When you became monosyllabic
I knew I had lost my crown

Like droplets of dew
As the dawn breaks
Your tear filled the earth
You saved them for the last
Then you drew the curtain

You are the only star in my cloud
The only jet in my Airspace
I have gone wide and wild
Non is as sweet as you my world
Like the prodigal son I return
Please, open the gates

I wish the clock never stopped
Please forgive my immaturity
A dangerous one that cost me all
My heart beats for non but you
My world, please come back

There is no fixture yet
Because I am afraid of loosing  
Even if I applied VAR
It is still susceptible to error
So I'll remain on the bench

Say goodbye to local leagues
We are made for the championship
No time for trials
Because no time to check time
If you know, you know

I've got to position properly
Like the moon to the sun
If I want to enjoy the season
When it finally kicks off
Before transfer window opens

Over time I have issued cards
Fourteen red cards and two yellows
I am done, like done
No loan deals, outright  purchase desired
Terms and conditions apply

Even when I succumbed to pre-season
It almost resulted to penalties
I'm afraid of loosing out completely
Especially as my biological clock ticks
If you know you know

To all you monitoring spirits
With your evil analysis and assumptions
Tell me; who can cover the glory of the sun?
Analysts forming  deputy Jesus
That day, I'll see you in the stands
For it will surely come to pass

I refuse to be relegated
I might not have the skills of Messi
The strenght of Ronaldo
The dexterity of Dijk
Or the grace of Pele
But my time will come

I might be on the bench now
Studying, waiting and learning
But that's how stars are made
Until they are called to action
Backed by the grace of the Backer

And when all is done
Blazing through trials and  temptations
With joy and gladness in our heart
Together we shall chorus
And it's a gooooooal!!!
Hang on! You are very close!

Like an obsessed peripatetic
I have traversed the soils of Africa
From the serenity of Obafemi Awolowo University
To a stint in University de Abomey Calavi
And now to Nigeria's University of first choice
I have never seen a people so confused

Who calls off a wedding on a wedding night?
Imagine getting off before you get off
For a well rehearsed match long waited
Why play Deputy Jesus like an immortal?
When men play God, the result is calamitous

Agog, ready to get tipsy and engaged
We had the gowns, laced with a scroll
An insignia of our academic story
Like a bride we already fitted our gowns
The stage was set but you blackened the sun
Don't worry, your time will come

Congratulations my esteemed mates
You already blazed the trail
At first it seemed impossible
Until we did it...Weldone
Now your name is cast in gold
Although we are in the blues
But our ship already berthed
Congratulations!
