At the mention of DNA test
Some softwares trip
Cool child runs within them
None is ever sure of a firing
Afterall, sharp shooters still miss fire
If you aren't afraid of scans
To determine our child's sexuality
What is the ruse about DNA test?

Not all women are infidels
There are evil practitioners
Intentionally they swap babies
Like guys swap girlfriends
What makes you so sure
That you are your father's  child
This table is not only shaking
I hope to break the legs

When my ***** travels through the epididymis
Direct into the vas deferens
From the seminiferous tubules
Am I even sure it is *****?
It could be mere "Ogi"
How do you impregnate a software?
While you are plagued with erectile dysfunction?
Ladies beware, impotent men abound

Wait, don't go nowhere
"I never finish with you"
When your arteries are plagued
You can never "Do The Do"
It is called atherosclerosis
*** is intended for pleasure
And for procreation my friend
Don't be called Daddy by another's child
Let us all seek full medical check up

When married women slay
They turn real side chicks
Especially the married but single
Even Solomon in his prime
Cannot match their ******
They drive in their cars
And just flash you twice
If you can decipher the code
"You go just dey clean the playhead"
While real Oga hussles for the family

No time to check time
One month after birth
Conduct proper DNA test
Let us settle this thing once
But be sure of your generator of generations
That it is working in full capacity
To avoid stories that touches the heart
Don't say i didn't warn you

That goodbye *** with your ex
The night vigils with loud loans
With "Ekwueme" at the background
The client you shagged for the cheque
The MD you seduced for that account
The "thing" might have entered
Don't give it to another man
It is pure evil
A day of reckoning looms

Terrible days are here
The devil was once a saint
If you already said "Yes"
Please honour your vows
Infidelity is now a norm
Moral decadence on both sides
Married women are now real side babes
Behind that beauty may be a Delilah

If you ever discover the smoke screen
Please be magnanimous...
Your escapades with your colleagues
Your secretaries and personal assistants
Your time-out with church and mosque workers
Your sins might have visited
This time, though your wife
Whatever you sow, you reap
Karma is very real

With the rapid wave of technology
DNA will soon be like BVN
Just like the XYZ test in government hospitals
It will be made compulsory
And help us demystify this mystery
But if you are very sure
That your father is your father
Am I really sure?
That my child is child?
DNA Test, are you sure you are the Daddy?

How your kiss makes me droll
Making me desirous to loosing my virginity
Too much emotion wrapped in one act
Passionate; deeply, sensual and ******
Just close your eyes; don't go too fast...

Kiss your partner like your life depends on it
Each time your tongues locks; just lock it down
Make sure nothing else matters in the world
When you feel the adrenaline
Wanting to make you quiver
That's the time to French roll it

On a ruby red lips calories are burnt
Seven times a day should you constantly kiss
If you think I look agelessly ageless
With a superb immune system
It's because I am intentional

With a breathe of fresh air
Your nerve cells are stimulated
By this you take in more protein, salt
Water and even bacteria (true)
But it's all worth it. No doubt a natural therapy
Couples who kiss more love and live longer

When your lips are fully locked and loaded
Your happy hormones are activated
Self-esteem restored with joys
Nothing else matters, kissing is sweater than ***
"If you know, you know"

You don't really have to go all the way
Especially when you don't have to
Master the beautiful act of kissing
And your life will never be the same again
So, next time, start with a kiss
A very deep kiss. Sadly, I'm just a Coach.

My mind is clouded with layers of hate
With the deadly accuracy, you feasted on my soul
And turned my heart to your secret stool
Inside your stony heart is a fortress
Buried therein are victims of lust
What a way to loose it all in one bang

In that temple you have buried destinies
In beautiful nightmares you possess and take them to Vegas
Your enclave of no return, where you prey on them all
There I was, a permanent resident and a slave to infatuation
You  laid in wait and made me  weak, vulnerable
In your world, Delilah is a saint, a learner

I lost all, including my sense of reasoning and judgement
I was lost to your intricate maneuvers
My heart still palpitates at the thought of you
In a desolate world desolate with mundane things
I wish I listened to the voice of wisdom
If only I could turn back the hand of time...

A Chameleon you are, though  masqueraded as a saint
Putting on class acts;  outshining Hollywood's finest
For the want of love, I lost my love
Now my heart rages like the tempest sea
I am now clad in a garment with togas of bitterness
Does true agape love really exist in this wicked world?

If I could, I would lock you up in hell
And caste you beneath to yonder place
Thereafter will I protect my heart from your kind
Cold blooded Leach designed to drain
Once upon a time, you were my morning star
Never again will I trade love for lust.

Only few creatures are bold
To approach a Queen
You are not made for everyone
You were created for royalties
Like me

Accross all continents
I searched and searched
Until I found what was missing
You are a reminder
Of how blessed I am

Take the keys to my heart
You are a beautiful woman
With my wife trapped inside you
Scared, please don't be
Because after today
The world will know our name

We were the book
It was flowing nicely
Until you turned it
Then I burnt the book
Case closed
"Au revoir Ma Cheri"

When you opted to be my shining light
I doubted you for a second
Doubt, it has ruined many destinies
I guess I was stupid

Prove to me you are legit
And I will go all the way
I relish those moments we shared
Sweet times with indelibly prints

I almost lost you to foolishness
Please read me my rights
The right to remain silent
And thereafter, cast me to your prison of splendour forever

I tried to free myself
From the clutches of your grasps
The more I tried, the more entangled I become
But I won't stop, not now
Not tomorrow, not forever

Theory of evolution easily comes to mind
Kudos to Charles Darwin
The ultimate battle of survival
How I was so held aback
In the prison of your  creation
How I worshiped and adored you
Until honour turned slavery

For years I was under your spell
Enchanted by your lines and word play
If all things were made by HIM
One day I will sprout, fully liberated
Henceforth; I shall open my eyes and sense
Receive grace and be free

We charted the cause like Sailsmen
Until we both reached a crescendo
We increased the tempo gradually
Until we graduated with honours
And when I heard the ringtone "Ewooo...."
I felt larger than life...

When I look at your "T" Zone
I get enchanted with the oil
As they flow from north to South
Filtering to the west then east
Giving your "Visage" an Angellc appearance
You see this one, "We die there"

I found me, when I found you
I found peace when you said "Yes"
Forget about the past "Ma Cheri"
Let's focus on our glorious future
And re-write this story abinitio
My part have I chosen in love
So, on bended kneels I ask, please, marry me!

Just that you know
I wrote you a special song
Wait! Hold up! Not what you think
It wasn't easy my Dearest
But I prayed for the grace
The grace of goodbye

I am finally over you
For the emotional blackmails
Assaults in different shades
I finally got the *****
I heard all you said about me
I forgive you already

In you I saw tomorrow
A tomorrow that now will never come
Don't worry about me
I will cry for a while
But I'll be strong
You just became history
A story of once upon a time

Who says men are men
Men have emotions too
Truth is, we tear too
We just do it differently
Behind those smiles  
Lays buckets of water
Only legends can identify with this

I tried alcohol and cigarettes
But hangover got the lot of me
The problem never left
I tried painting and singing
But I could only hear myself
All these meant nothing
To what loosing you meant to me

Why do we hurt the ones we love most?
I've been acting like a ****
But this tragedy will pass
And my sun will rise again
Because I am an incurable optimist
I know I will fall again

When you stopped calling daily
When you stopped dropping by
And cut off emotional support
Like algebraic permutations
I knew you were done like done
But life abhores vacuum
An Angel will fill that void

A Lanister always keeps his words
I promise you I will rise again
But just that you know
The music doesn't sound the same
The walk now seem lonely
For all its worth
The food has become tastelessly tasteless

If you have ever been dumped
By the one you truly love
I've got bottles of beer
With Kenny G at the background
Please gather here my friends
Let's cry together
Love hurts...

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?

You flirted with me
Delved away from known tradition
Yes, I loved it
First I was intrigued
I "kinda" like this
Especially when you smiled
I trusted you immediately
I dont even know why
I was happy, yet petrified

Oh! How you quickly got to my head
Love comes with heartaches
And I am willing to take my chance
Hei! If you are seeing this
I tell you, you are beautiful
And I'll love to see the inside
In my entire life lived
I never saw God's creation so beautiful
It's a "Yes"

When you looked into my eyes
I went totally numb
When you held my hands
I died, then i woke up, then i died
When I was very young
The Moon followed me around
Growing up I realised that
Every street has its own Moon
The same way every king has his own Queen
Just that you know, again
It's a "Yes"

A Poem: Stay Alive Brother (A Poem Against Domestic Violence On Men)

If you do the crime
You'll do the time
Stop killing your spouses
A man is naturally flirtatious
If he opens the bonnet of another
Why not check yourself

The boys are speaking out
Broken boys turn broken men
The men are now speaking out
Don't let her get to you
If you can't take it anymore
Please take a bow

With fire power you reign curses
Decapitate and maim them
You cut them in their prime
Just because of jealousy
No longer shall we be quiet
Guys, if you must, sign the dotted lines

I would rather be single
I would rather be a single Dad
Than be with you, an abusive partner
There is more at other side
Marriage is like admission
You desire Unilag and end up in Kogi

For better for best it is
Not for better for death
Wake up! My friend
Lest you want to answer from the other side
Stay alive brother
Report all domestic abuse

So, before you pop the question
Be sure to also ask
"Will you stab me?"
Never again shall a brother fall
To the uncontrollable anger of a spouse
You have been advised! Be wise!

When I am tucked within your arms
I feel like I am sleeping under the stars
When you cover me in your mammary glands
I get inspired to be rule my world

When you give me a forehead
All my challenges fades away like vapour
When you look into my eyes
I die, then I wake up

I have known beauty in diverse shades
I have seen mermaids sparkle in human form
But when our path crossed
I understood why you are called "God's perfect creation"
An embodiment of beauty and grace...

I just wanted to see you
I truly miss you Baby
Your jokes, your laughs
I love the child in you
I am sorry I left
It was my first time
I just wanted to know your crib
Never knew you got friends
Loads of them I must confess
When they started to "gbez"
One after the other
I got confused for a while
I tried to ask you, but you smiled
As the last one made to leave
I just followed him
I could not connect their acts
To your smile and winks
That looked mischievous
Thinking you needed a "Me time"
I too left...

He made the man the strongest of all
To till the ground and eat therefrom
He made the man wiser than the wisest
But he made a woman to wipe his tears

In heaven He made us all in His image
Promised protection from noisome pestilence
But asked that we always seek wisdom
Some of these hidden between her pout *******

He gave us peace that passeth all understanding
Joy eternal that flows from the top
And when a house is as peaceful as the stream
Not too faraway is a woman wiser than Solomon

For ages past, they've been suppressed and silenced
But this narrative is fast changing in our world
When you do find your cause, run with it
A world without women is not worth living

If all you've got as a woman is your cooking skills
Or a PH.d. In the beautiful art of procreation
You are a disgrace to feminity at large
A waste of the human resource called "Woman"

In my quest towards excellence in life and ministry
I have met principalities and powers adorned in Angelic apparels
****** from their breast of wisdom and intelligence
In honour therefore, I pen this to all the women in the world.

Why do we apologise at night
Because of the champions league
Increases the propensity to win
And nights are for action
That joy may come in the morning
Afterall, stars shines brightest at night

When we apologize at night
We are sure of "The promised land"
Maybe not night like night
Bur definitely before dawn
Oh! How I relish those fine moments
A night of bliss and "jollification"
Afterall, "Who pride help"

Other times when I say "Sorry"
It's to allow the night shift run smoothly
So, we can enter paradise
With valid particulars and license
Such we hours are solemn
It's not a time to be proud
Be calm and yet intentional

Sometimes, in your dreams
In the deadness of the night you hear
"Please wake up, i want to talk to you"
Say, "I am sorry", even if you aren't
You know what? That is wisdom
Such sleepy nights, not for "Koboko"

Men, so powerful and strong by day
And weak at night...
Let me warn you, be prepared
It might come with requests
And your answers can only be "Yes"
With a fully charged "Koboko"
Heaven help you if the gate is suddenly shut

I just love apologising at night
It comes with benefits and memories
It makes it soothingly gratifying
To optimize your performance at sunset
Say "Sorry", then worship in her altar
But you must have her "Passcode"
Else, you are no better than a rappist

At such special times Ladies
The Mumu button is all yours
Use and press it wisely
That's the time to ask
Afterall, a promise is a debt
And a promisor is enslaved to a promisee
That's how powerful a woman is
Let me just call it "Bottom Power"

Be the best of philanthropist
Build castles and name them temples
Save the world and imprint footprints
On that very special day when the beagle sounds
I'll be at the gate with a question tag
Why did you do it, why?

Why did you truncate my destiny, why?
A glorious vessel set to flourish
Basking in joys to change the world
I set sail and made for planet earth
On a vessel so fine, yet so cracked
I advanced in peace but left in a ****
Tell me why you made my death that cheap?

It was warm, cold and lonely inside
Then I felt the rod as the ****** gave in
No where to hide, the die was cast
Helpless, the tube pushed in as I watched in fear
The moment the curette came to sweep
The deed was done, a murderer was made
A very beautiful one, clad in Gucci apparel

How I longed to hear me cry my first
Feel your warmth and suckle from your breast
Nine months was like a thousand years
But patience was a flower that grew in my garden so I wait
Yet, you murderous thing murdered my destiny
I am waiting at the other side
You really want to make heaven? Smiles!

Did you get some quids to do the do?
It meant nothing to you like a latrine flush
Did he promise you heaven on earth?
That irresponsible goat worthy of castration
In the Supreme court will I call your case
And be sure the judge is no mortal being
Except, there is a justification for ******

While you opened up like a pretty *****
I was dis-membered and cut open
My soul watched in agonising horror
I didn't die before I died, slow and painful so it was
Ears, hands, mouth separated from my body and all
It was cruel as my head got ******
Until I heard the still voice, "It is finished"
Then, I died in cruelty and returned to base

Each time I sit by the gate, I watch and pray
That soon your time will come and I'll get closure
When you meet with my Creator what will you plead?
"My Lord, 'One thing, one thing' ", then the gavel is banged
Even if you invoke 1 John 1:19, backed with Psalm 103:10-14
I will bring a joker in Psalm 139:13-16
He gave me life, but you took it
Truth is, like Pharaoh, your case is closed...

I am glad I mended fences
I am glad I took the kneel
After years of ego centrism
Basking in one useless pride
That which lasted far too long
I finally got the nerve to cower
I said I am sorry; flat out...

How I felt to responsible for my irresponsibilities
Which should never be documented
How I feel so peaceful at heart
Peace, it long evaded my enclave
But I heard the words from a sage
"It is never too late to be right"
Let go everything, please let go

Seek peace and your heavens will open
You've been around that hill long enough
Holding on places a wedge on your prayers
"As we forgive those, who trespass against us"
Sometimes it is not your fault
Just say sorry and mean it
I see a new you emerging afterwards
Just say "Sorry..."

Surviving you has armed me with bravely
Now I see you for who you truly are
Even Snakes shed their skin
But a Leopard can never change her skin

I deserve all you did to me
For every tears you made me shed
The sleepless nights turned insomnia
I should never have trusted you

Your professions sounded angelic
You were a rarity, a gifted wordite
Who has mastered the art of deception
So sad, all was foundated on a plate of lies

You were my very fine wine
Made from the purest of grapes
But once I was blind; and now I can see
I pray to Zeus, maybe someday, love will find me.

For the want of miracles
My people have become gullible
Muscled and brainwashed by fake oracles
Masters of psychology and "wash wash" miracles
Robbing them of their wealth and bangles

How long shall we be susceptible
To the charades of these scientists
Who masquerade as holier than Jesus
Poverty stricken scam artists
Who pose as Deputy Jesus

HE has ears, HE can hear
HE has hands, HE can save
Heaven and earth is HIS
the earth and the fullness therein
Why ask a creation, when you can ask the Creator?

Your mother is a witch
Your inlaws flies in the night
Until you **** them, no peace
I pity your condition
Be careful who counsels you
Lest they cancek you out of life

Give me, give me is how babies pray
What must I do, the lines of Kings
Until you settle with the word
You will never cross to the other side

Stop rubbishing your education
So many herberlist are now prophets
All they require is to say the words
You automatically becomes their "Maga"

The Spirit of Jah is in all men
My Pastor said, my Daddy said
That is how many marriages got destroyed
Blood transfusion is a curse
By it so many stars were murdered
By brainwashed and murderous parents

Sit with the word like Paul
Fast and pray like a true discipline
Seek Him in truth and in spirit
Then praise Him like David
Let me see that challenge that will stand

He is an open handed God
He allows His children make choices
If you return to Him genuinely
The world will soon  gather to celebrate you
Enough of Religious Scam, "Mbok"

Yesterday you swore by the rains
As you advanced with unfettered access
Lashing into my sweet something
Yesterday you promised life
You even swore by lighting
Those were not wishful thinking
They were promises, sealed with an oath

Yesterday we planned tomorrow
A tomorrow filled with aspirations
You stroked my Indian curls in style
Wiped off my coco Chanel make up with your kisses
All but one deemed me lucky
But deep inside, infactuated was I
I was in love with a gamer

How so quickly things fell apart
I was your world, was I not your Moon?
Severely, tempted I was to violate the oath
But each time it rains, just as it is now
I remember your solemn vows
This, the only reason I kept strong
But then, you drift constantly like a boat

You were my last good nights
And my first good mornings
I still hold the memories of our first time
And this makes me giggle and smile
Just that you know my love
I still love you and want you close
I pray to the rains with which you pledged
Bring back my love...

Falling down a slippery *****
Moving from the south to the west
And there you are my love
Your arms wide open
I just need to fall in your hands
Then, together we fall to the ground
Kissing and rolling together
Until nature takes us west
It was cold and lonely
Even though we ended up east
For us, it was the beginning
A new dawn that will last till fade

From his lips escaped thefeelings
He expertly hid in his heart
How he so treasured them
They were a part of his story

A breezy night it turned to be
A day she told me about that guy
She was drowned in his ocean
But still, I could feel her hurt

I wonder what spell he cast on her
I can still recall the statement
"His smile melts my very bone"
This, made me shiver

This strange guy I never met
Seemed to have captured her world
"I can never be with him"
Those words were soothing

But then I understood her hurts
She had carried it for years
Like a plaque on her breast
But, can she still love me?

She layed cool from the mute
As beautiful as the river goddess
Her smile still looked beautiful
But she is now a star
Sitting in the galaxy of the greats
She crossed to the other side
Where the grass is greener
And the water purer
As she layed cool from the mute
She smiled like a diva
For the first time since the news broke
I released droplets of tears
Then I smiled...
She knows I love her
But who am I to query the Creator
Who has chosen to take His creation
She got to her final abode
Done and dusted, she bowed
Afterall, legends don't die
They translate
Join me celebrate my icon
The one whose vehicle I rode to earth
From dust to dust she slept
Yet, so beautiful
Adieu Mama!

He changed the world
Yes, he changed the world
And transited a martyr
How HE takes the dumbest things
And brings out the best therefrom
So, unquestionable HE is
Surely, HE has the final say
For HIS ways are perfect and just

For years we fought oppressions
Institutional and organized repressions
Corruption was deep in our fabric
Our collective voice was weak
The voice suppressed by great   institutional firepower
But HE had a joker, Floyd "Eledumare", so humorous
The same way he chose a stammerer
To lead HIS people to peace

He chose a non-entity
Without any massive political clout
And turned him to a celebrity
His blood, for a change, that's how it worked
Just as Christ died for our sins
His death is a reminder of the blood oath
This is to racism and institutional brutality

Racism has no place in our world
Kick out racism with your everything
We survived over 400years of slavery and abuse
It's time to take a stand
If one man made an emphatic statement with his voice
We don't have to die to live

With her deeds, Mother Theresa changed the world
Mandela and Martin Luther;  with their words
Bob Nesta Marley and Fela Anikulapo used their music
He is touching the world with his writings and poems;
His name is Babatunde Raimi
But George Floyd, the boy from Houston, Texas
He died to change the narratives
He didn't have to die, but he couldn't breathe
What are you doing to change your world?

Surely, the curtain will fall
As the the night draws near
The Sun makes way for the stars
To reflect the glory of the Maker
While the cricket sounds
Masters of the air fly above
Through the silver lining
I see your beautiful face
There you lay like a goddess
When I wake up each morning
As long as i am locked in your arms
Nothing else matters
I just want to wake up
Dead wet in your arms
With kisses that lasts forever
Who knows what the future holds for us
Maybe I am just a dreamer
And dreams come true
Only if you believe...

When I woke up this morning
With the subtke crow of the ****
Heralding a beautiful morning
I knew I was going to have a great day
I didn't know how, but I sure believed

Now that I found you
This, surely is a miracle
Dreams come true
If only we believe
Hei! Just that you know
I have been looking for your number
You and I are gonna have a great time
Can I have it now, please?

"Ala Beke"
God's own country
What is the hype?
Fix your country
To reduce brain drain
**** corruption
Lest it kills us
We're tired of exodus
To a foreign land
Built by visionaries
Be advised
Once you get to "Ala Beke"
You are just another dude
With a funny accent
You become a second class
Let's fix our nation

Amazing voice, beautiful soul
I get goose pimples on your vocals
You are my finest accomplishment with intriguing attributes
I get chills each time you hulla
For you are amazingly beautiful, in and out
If this is not love, what is?

Wrap me forever in your arms
In those gorgeous contours and alluring magnets
And let us swim in the ocean of love for life
I feel safe always in your warn and secured shoulders
Even when the rain drops
You give a cover like no other
Indeed, true love is beautiful

Let's put up a stunning performance in a duet
That will erase the best duets ever made
And bring forth beautiful children
In a union made in heaven and consummated on earth
You are my song; yet unsung
My book yet unwritten with amazing chapters

Whenever I am down and out
I just relive and playback our memories
And suddenly; the spark in my eyes light up
You are my Butterfly, my Heroine
For all my books yet written and unwritten
Poems penned and yet un-inked
Today and always, I dedicate all to you

Dynamically phenomenal and fabulous
Intelligently intelligent and sassy
So beautiful as the morning star
Homely, down to earth and vivacious
This is the story of my love
The missing part of my puzzle

You are a class act
Worth more than rubbies
You are my amazing magic wand
I'm glad you won the primaries

You are my green pastures
And my mesmerizing still waters
I pray to be your first good morning
And your last goodnight

You are God's purpose for my life
Strategically positioned for my rising
If you say "No", I'll die
Will you marry me?

My freedom with you ends
Where my husbands' begins
Why not "The last fling"
Saved for the last night
Specially for you
You're just a sodomite

You pondered and remniscenced
Past times, seemingly loving memories
Fantasising about your ex
And you want to be tucked in
He'll not only break yout bed
He'll break your heart and marriage

This last fling of a thing
It's a bad and dangerous idea
It's a home breaker.
Ugly and immoral
It is an Animalistic Behavior"
Now that you heard it
Please loose his number

Continue sexting and sending nudes
Blackmail awaits you tomorrow
Adrenaline rush makes it sweet right?
It'll ruin your marriage
And cost you everything
It's pure harlotry and promiscuity

Before you walk the aisle
Be sure you are sure
Marriage is a commitment
Not a **** *******
Marriage ain't for boys or girls
You've got a fine face, big ***** or curvy waist
Congrats! Respect your vow
Before or after, don't do it

You call it ladies night right?
That's how they pin it on us
Trick us into raising another's child
Don't do it, don't
It is Ugly, immoral and promiscous
Please honour your pledge

The higher your bodycount
The lesser your ability to pair-bond
You carry your manhood like a USB cord
Looking for were to plug it
On someone's wife to be
Let me pray for you
Karma will be so benevolent
You've been advised

Good night to the Queen of our Airwaves
If you have not died before
You'll never know how death feels
Good night Iya Jogbo
Flanked by Obus and Wale
You made our day pleasant

Truth, we were born to die
But in your unique voice
That echoes till eternity
You live forever
Only a handful attained legendary position. You did!
And your kind comes one in ten million

Evergreen will you be in our hearts
With your special kind of brand
You are the sauce in the Max Stew
A rare gem with a locally scintilating voice

The world will miss your golden voice
Thank you for the time with you
Now that you have boarded finally
May the heavens be kind to you
For in you we found inspiration
A reason to live...

With you still trapped inside of me
I can't let go, my whole life is a mess
If I am unworthy of your love
Tell me, who is?
When you said the words
My whole life crumbled

You were class act in your world
I was your puppet, was I not your world?
I hope I'll be alright, though I doubt
You already are deep into my fabric
Now the world knows your name
Where do I start from? Where?

Behind my smiles are broken promises
I was laid and used by a gamer
A master of deception and manipulations
But don't cry for me, I'll carry my cross
For her, I lost my friends and family
Who knows if love will ever come again

The treasure you seek will fade away
The six packs you treasure will wear out
Even the ornaments will be out-fashioned
Then, I would have come on stage from the rumbles
You will come back looking for me
But I will be long gone and happily married...

Your glossiness; amplified by sunlight
With a distinctive smell
You are curvaciously curvacious
Full of life and robust energy
If I decide to open the crest
Please tell me, how much gold?
Tell me, how much?

Dorning luminous colours
That seperates you from the multitude
Save for the blind, none can miss your presence
Heralded by a strong and seductive fragrance
Surely; I think, you were created on a Sunday
After God rested on Monday

Astrologers follows the stars
For me and my everything, I choose you
Like a beacon to an Airplane
Your firm rounded headlights;
They are my longitude and latitude
Sending strong signals to my temple
And if you say "No", I'll die...

This is not about your "Tembe"
I just want to be lost in your world
And be the co-pilot if your plane
Hence I choose to disrupt tradition
Why kneel, with a precious ornament
When I can do it poetically
With poweful lines woven specially for you

Your real gloss is inately in you
Not in Mary Kay or Estee Lauder
I can't guarantee you heaven on earth
Nor all the precious ornaments in Kano
But what I promise you with my life
Is a lifetime of love and friendship

This is where it gets tricky
With every courage I can muster
Backed by the backing of the Backer
With a glow of pride and responsibility
And on this very special date
I ask poetically, will you marry me?
Just say "Yes", please!

I take full responsibility
It was not the devil but I
I was driven by raw emotions
Spiced with untamed desires
Laced with
I was virile and hot blooded
Then I was led into the shadows

I know your trust is broken
Who even takes a broken calabash to the stream?
I might be a misfit for you now
But remember our glorious moments
Promises left unkept, dreams unfulfilled
How a one night stand can erase a lot
Memories now tainted by one inglorious adventure

I wish you will subscribe to revenge
And give us a second chance
But you are not God, the God of second chance
My life is empty without you
I lost my pride and dignity
The moment I laid with another
For all it is worth, I still love you
Please come back, please!

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

Untamed creatures
Lurking around the pride
Seeking whom to devour
Loose guard at your peril
It's welcome to Valhala

They answer to many names
Comes in different shades and sizes
They fly in from all corners
Seeking to prey on a "Mugu"

Worse that the Bats at twilight
They lash unto you until you go dry
Should you fall for their trickery
You might have fallen for a senior colleague

They are not the finest  
But they are smart
Be the crow, don't be a "Mugu"
And before you invest, investigate

If you produce
Please provide
The universe contains electrons
Neutrons, protons and morons
The last typifies those
Who connect to every network
With their wifi
Responsibility is the key
Be responsible for your actions
You have been advised

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"

Our journey, a best seller
Our walk, a movie thriller
Our love; eternal
But you lied to me
Yes, you lied to me...

You promised not to fall in love
But each time you stare
I see a glow in your eyes
A desire beyond platonic
Subtly, I prayed you'll say the words

I'm sorry I lied too
When I said "don't fall for me"
I was already lost in you
I knew I was vulnerable
So, I built a wall around me
Culled from the play girl's book

I might have lost you to stereotypes
But it's time to change the narratives
If you are really in love
Just say the words my dear
It's called "Shooting your shot"

You can turn back in your mind
You can turn back at home
You can allow your friends throw shades
Your family can even sow seeds of negativity
You can even give up this close
But rules are rules
Never give up on stage
Burn down that bridge
Cast away doubts and unbelieve
Come out of that prison
The one that encaged you in your heart
If you made it this far
Surely, there is a star in you
Break the ice, go for it
Now, back on stage!
Ready! Set! It's in you!
Go for it! Flaunt it!

If you smell nice, I like you
If you have a good persona, i adore you
If you are intelligent, I'll buy you venus
But if you look like my Mum, I'll marry you

If you love flowers, we'll make a perfect team
If you love old school, be my pal
If you love Ballet, I'll dance with you
But if Dolly Parton is your favourite, you are my missing piece

From your breast alone will I ****
Let me into your innermost chamber
Let me take you to the moon and back
That I be yours, you be mine
For you are my favourite Candy

Rough weather, strong waves
Maybe mother nature is angry?
Tempest storms, furiously raging
If vessels were scared of  storms
They will never berth
You see smooth seas
They never made skilled Sailors
The storms will rage
It's alright to be scared
But listen to me, never quit!
And who knows, just maybe
Sooner than they think
Your name will turn autographs
Keep dreaming! Just don't quit

You already chose your part
You lost your right to live
When you inserted your ***** funnel
Into her precious black gold
What more do you have to leave for?
Nothing

Not only was this pre-meditated
You were determined and intentional
A true incarnate of the dark world
Just that you know
The trauma lives with her
She's got Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

If we forgive, we'll never forget
Not only should you be castrated
You should be riddled with bullets
Your kidney fed to Dogs
While the vultures stand guard
Their duty, to clean up the mess

If you ask her to let it fly
Because he is family
Or you got compensated
You should be sentenced to death
Preferrably by hanging
Afterall, you aren't the victim

It's time to let it out and be free
It's time to shame these monsters
We might not all believe
But you owe your generation your story
Receive courage for conquest
Then, the grace of goodbye
Start talking...

I don't want to be douched
Just give me water melon
I've got my natural frangrance
Afterall, I do cotton pant
And I don't wear it till dawn
It allows a breathe of fresh air
Trust me, you'll love it

I am not a veggy
But I do lots of fruits
Avocadoes and  water melon
And natural sweetners like yoghurts
When I notice an unwelcomed visitor
I go see my scientist
How I love Gynaes

I detest soapies and sprays
Tell me, what beats water?
Water is life, water is Bae
Sis., leave all those organics
They only cater for the exterior
Of more importance is our engine room
The generator of generations
From where principalities were born


I keep it moderate and average
And the low density carve is bae
That makes it ready for 69
And a trip to Las Vegas
In the school of the legends
With a dose of vanity
With shaky keys, guard the head in
Your life will never be the same
Tell me you don't love "Headmasters"

Do you use scent leave and salt?
Sitting on clove hot H2o?
"Egungun be very kiaful"
But if you double on Greek yoghurts
Trust me, they will buy you money
Should you desire more juice; its pineapple
Who wants to go in first?
With a legal pass to the altar?
It's time to do it right
Naturally!

Why call me African Giant
When my people live below poverty level
Less than two dollars a day
I cry for my country Nigeria
A people suffering and smiling
A land plenty in poverty

If we top Africa's oil production
Shouldn't our social security be world class?
Shouldn't our senior citizens be tended with class
Why the massive exodus abroad?
Brain drain and capital flight
Increase in crime wave
I cry for my nation

How can a man marry a wife
And another rapes her with impunity
Collects all the goodness deposited in her
Who should be the first partaker of the fruit?
Tell me, a stranger or the groom?
Who cursed Africa?

Who owns our oil wells?
How many indigenous companies?
Stupidity is killing a bush Rat
Selling it to the refiner cheap
And gathering with your cohorts
Drinking pepper soup with same bush Rat
At an exorbitant price

We lost our middle class
In Africa's supposed largest economy
You are either rich or very poor
This is more like the animal kingdom
Where the winner takes it all
What am I even saying?
Are we not all animals!

Who is talking about gold?
Agriculture and minerals
Who is talking about our human resource?
Schooled with employability mentality
We have to change the narratives
This change begins with you
Stop sitting on the fence

If we keep servicing debts
Supporting lavish lawmakers lifestyles
It won't be long before famine sets in
A re-enactmant of Genesis 41
What happened to infrastructural development?
Human and capacity development
Great nation, indeed!

Where do all our oil money go?
You cannot be a player and referee same time
Who benefits from our collective wealth
Definitely not the Niger Deltans
You should be ashamed as a leader
We chose you, but you failed...

Don't think we are fools
We are only acting the fool
Just to fool you fool
That thinks you are fooling us
A new generation of activists are born
Not with guns and powders
We will fight you with the greatest weapon
A pen, mightier than the sword
With the people on our side

I pay my taxes and abhor capital flight
If you under-report your earnings
Or surreptitiously evade tax
Are you different from them?
Play your part, keep hands clean
Very soon, their sins will visit them
Publicly, they will be put to shame
That Africa may be great

Stop worrying about tomorrow
It will happen suddenly
Release your faith by believing
And it will happen soon

Once Joseph woke up a slave
Suddenly, he slept as a prime minister
The Isrealites wandered for 40years
But suddenly they broke forth

Stop seeing giants
Stop seeing challenges
Start seeing opportunities in lamentations
Then you''ll conquer that challenge

God is hastening things up in your favour
The power lies in your mind
And your tongue, so speak possitivities
And you shall testify

Defy the odds and change the narratives
The rain falls but for a time
The Sun shines but for a time
Your glory will shine on for a lifetime

In those difficult times
Remind HIM of HIS words
And HE will rush in your defence and liftings
God is in a haste to liberate and bless you

Stay connected friend
Your time is coming
But if you believe
Then, your time has finally come

I have transversed the most beautiful mountains
Across the hills and the valleys
Solely accompanied by nature
The whistling breeze
And the gushing Rivers

In my sojourn
I met beautiful beasts
Devouring me became their delight
Painting in my blood their fantasy
They toiled and tried
But grace found me

They wanted my sun set at noonday
With a blazzing sword
Shinning in the hands of a Master Goldsmith
Carefully crafted for vengeance
The Master smoth them all
Like thin air they vaporized

Why me, I asked
Why should anyone care
Even in my unfaithfullness
Then i heard that still small voice
Right in the middle of my travails
Your transgressions I have blotted
"I will walk with you"

Again, my mountains became stunning
My crooked path straight
My future breath-taking
Suddenly, i saw hope
In the midst of abandonement
Because my case is different
And it's my new dawn

Good night to the King of Country
If you have not died
You'll never know how death feels
Good night Kenny Roger's
You made our childhood memorable
And growing up interesting

Kenny, We were born to die
But in your songs, you live forever
Only a handful attained legendary position
Your kind comes one in ten million
Don Williams gone, Kenny Rogers gone
Oh Lord! Please don't take Dolly Parton...

Our parents smoked over your songs
They didn't make sense yesterday
But they are a light to us today
Evergreen will you be in our hearts
With songs that touches the soul
Not that of a twerking generation

The world will miss your golden voice
Thank you for the Gambler
Thank you for the Coward of the County
You belong to the golden generation
Elvis presley, John denver, Johnny cash, Jim Reeves
And my dearest music goddess Dolly Parton

Death is just a phase
We were born to die
Living thereafter is a choice
The ace I got from the gambler
Would serve me till fade
Again; thank you Kenny
Goodnight, the legend of the countryside

You didn't respond to my calls
So I decided to invoke you in a poem
Now and forever, my soul yearns for your presence
I tried to stay afloat, glaring at your pictures
But this got me more sorrows
For my bed is lonely without you

Sometimes I pretend you are here
And hug my pillow so tight to feel your warmth
Only to find myself on an island called yesterday
Alone, lonely and missing your  presence
I just realised I have lost a diamond
While chasing after pleasures of vanity

Now I am left with memories
Your sweet smiles and laughter at the other end
How I so long to hear your voice at the other side
All I needed was just your "Hello" to start my day
And that sweet voice to draw the curtains at night
But now, all those are memories traded for vanity

Please don't break up with me
You know I love and adore you so much
Do you really have to go My Love?"
I wrote my best lines in your arms
Climbed my greatest heights with you in the picture
Without you I am a non-entity
All I ask, now and forever, please forgive me...
