Revolving around the earth
Age long mystery secretly guided
In mother nature they blossom

The rising and setting of the Sun
Big and far away from our earth
And then, the slow passage of the day

How enormous then is the Moon?
Why then are the stars so small?
Yet, it brightens and  illuminates our world

Why do the Sun always rise in the east, sets west?
Must the Moon and the Stars tow the same fate?
Questions these are.

HE knew thee before he planted you on earth
Just like the Sun, Moon and Stars
You too will soon become a brand

There is a reason for this season
Be tenacious, bold and work it out in faith
Maybe one day, you too will shine like the Stars

After years of meritorious service
Rooted in resilience and dedication  
Even though I majored in the other league
I was ruthless in attack and midfield
Never did I allow any "Tembe" pass over
Yet, I didn't merit a national honour

I fired like Christiano, cut in like Messi
I pushed like Drogba and slide in like Kanu
I was the real G.O.A.T that only legends understand
A couple of this a couple of that
For the fear of lung cancer,  I avoided 69 and headings
Only legends will understand

Home and away, I was strong
Kicking from all sides of the field
My generator of generations deserves a medal
After surviving different fields of different sizes
And now, I am hanging my booths
What a way to quite the scene

I buried all in all the sitters and kept clean slates
Whenever I hugged the line, I changed the rythym
Sometimes I was caught off guard
Especially when I play home sweet home
But right now, its time to park the bus
Before calamity calls...

I stayed on my feet as a legend
Not only was I a dead ball specialist
I scored many dead ***** and penalties
Bringing out the glow in every field I cultivate
But it's time to hang the booth

I remember committing some fouls
Sustaining life long injuries and retaining momentoes
At the end, vanity upon vanity is vanity
I am done and dusted, to face my warrant
The only field I want to cultivate now
My wifes'...

The kingdom of God is at hand, repent
If you are still playing without caution
It will not be long before your time will come Not everyone gets the grace of a second chance
I did, now, let me face my career, warrant squarely
Godsped! As for me, booths hung.

You are a "Beautiful One" to watch
Fun to be with, graceful as a ballerina
Look! I want to follow you like the shadows
Hang over you like the stars

I want you in my dreams now and always
In my arms, to have and to hold
On my shirt, dotted with your lipstick  
You and I, together forever

There are ladies, but you are "My Lady"
My world, My heartbeat. You are "The One"
Let's sign the dotted lines and do life together
Will you marry me, please?

When I ride and glide
I expect some sanity
Sanity, in a most insane world.

You don't want to poke me
A little to the right, then left
Lest I unleash my road rage on you

There is a fire in me that glows
It comes from within when activated
Best you "dey your dey" and stay on track

But, wait! Sometimes life will throw darts at you
A little to the right, then left
Focus, smile and say, "This too shall pass"

If I cross your lane, show some love
I might just need an Angel in human form
And that may just be all the light I need to see

Loose the road rage fast
We all woke up with different challenges
Just embrace yours and choose to win

You bailed out
Just when I needed you the most
I thought we were building a castle
Because I saw me in you and vice versa
What a castle this turned out
A castle built in the air it seemed

She lured and flashed it at me
Then I lost my sense of reasoning
Allowed logic to becloud judgement
This is on me, I know
All I ask is one more time to make it right
Please come back, please

Let me lock "The piece"
And give you the keys
As a sign of my repentance
I lost your trust on the laps of Dellilah
If only you grant me a second chance
Never again will I stray

For every tear you shed
It ripped my heart into shreds
Took a piece of me away
And turned me a social misfit
My holy voice will I lift
To God of second change
Please, bring my love back.

Every discovery with you
Is an adventure of a lifetime
Faced with any degree of hunger
Never will I compromise our love
Foundated on true love and friendship

For the fear of strong "Cobnomi"
And the pain of hurting you
Let alone losing you
From your *** alone will I eat
And my eyes shall be single

Don't worry about the bumpy rides
No testimonies without tests
We receive powers for conquest
And we have dominion
The one that comes from above

Let this multitude be my witness
To love you and you alone
Together we will glow and glide
In a union made in heaven
These vows I make today
And seal it with my blood

To a life of bliss and splendour
A life of for better for best
As enshrined in the textbook of spiritual science
I love you my ride or die
And may God bless this union

I just ponder why
You never made a pass at me
How do I get laid?
When I don't have a date
I don't need to get paid
How you harbour so much hate

Are you afraid to cultivate?
Even as I asked us to copulate
Especially when I ovulate
My biological clock ticks
Like a flower it withers
No time to check time

If you aren't a sharp shooter
Loose my number and shift
I just need a life of my own
Someone I could call mine
Or, maybe, I just need counselling
I earnestly need help...
