Oh mammy!
It's lunch time already
Debson's house are set
At the family table
For dinner is about to be served
Oh mammy, what took your time?
I thought the market is near
Mammy what kept you that long?
Thought your words never slipped
Why now?
Mammy should we fill the kettle for you?
Should we fetch the fire?
I can defroze the beef
If am permitted
Come quickly
Come quickly
Mammy, should we share the apples?
Cathe said we should go visit
To the Debson's house
Mammy should we?
Eeehn mammy?
Shouldn't we?
Because I know
You are almost home
Robinson, wont you go?
Wont you come along?
You know
Maybe she met a long time friend
At the market square
Who knows wether she lost her purse
Or missed the last train home.

I HAVE A FRIEND

I HAVE FRIEND
There is nothing to compare a friend with
Mine brings out the best in me
They connects and strengthens
Even when am in blue
And the sky is black
But am worried for the friendless
They wonder alone
Through the thick journey of life
And misses the friendly sympathetic ear
Eve the shoulder to lean on
When crisis threatens
It is pitiable to be friendless
Imagine the life of the friendless;
They are like a teeth without the lips
Fish without a river
A flower without a sunshine
A butterfly without a nectar
A damsel without a lover
And a snail without its shell.
Do you have one?

IF I WERE TO TALK OF his PERSON(DEATH)

IF I WERE TO TALK OF his PERSON(DEATH)
Even if I sleep walk
I wont mix my words
Yes I wont meant A and say Z
Yes I mean every bit of it
For there is no dumb being as you
Neither have I seen a blind like you
The hear you have is nothing but a plug in
My imagination never cease
To think (ponder) on how you operate
Had it mean you are not dumb?
Have you not heard of happy Catherine?
Were you blind althrough to see her countenance
Is as radiant as the morning sun?
Have you ever heard she was angry a minute?
Oh what a radiant smile we have missed
If not cruel, merciless, being you are
You would not have done this to us
And abruptly erase that contagious smile
You have done your best
Your worst, I know nothing of
Whether you can bring her back alive
Yes we are grieved
We know we have lost a GEM
Happy Cath is no more.

MY QUATATION

Pen is a lifeless object with a lifeless substance and its blood is called INK.

Pen your thought down, if you write it, then it is right.

The pen that write the future may not live to see the future,why can't you use your pen judiciously when its very much alive?

Write it
Its right
Think upon it
Its thoughtful.

My pen is short and weak,but it is long and strong when it comes to words of wisdom.

WAKE UP NIGERIA Time Of Thought 1:20 Pm Date Of Thought Oct 5th,2009

Why are you doing this to yourself ?
But you are not a slave
You are a free born before now

Yes I know
For long you have been free born
Why this now ?

But she was not a slave
Was she born into slavery ?
Nay she wasn't

But why did she allow to be silenced ?
Like a marble with no life in it
And calm like a dead sea

Ah ! You have been silenced like a grave
They have made your land a desert
A pit hill of the aliens

There you stand
Having your gifts lies in ruin
Hmm,cry and rise for your restoration

Those of spoilt background and greedy mind
Have cracked her skull
And drained her out of life and strength

Day after day
They take away her breadth
Through their shady decisions

Now is the time
I mean the right time
To fight your cause

Wait a minute !
What is your name ?
Answer me

I am Nigeria
A country at Niger side
The giant of Africa

Did I hear you say GIANT ?
Giant don't freak
Common act like one

I am a lion
The precious gift of Africa
In me inbeded lots of natural resources

Then wake up
Act it
And prove it

That you are indeed
The giant of Africa
That should be seen and heard.

NOT IN MY EYES

Don't judge my eyes (countenance)
Never imagine the height of my joy within
Though smooth and radiant as ever
Like the sun that rises in its time
Early in the morning time
Seems no pains in it all
Though the gains in there is ever felt
So sincerely,its not it
My heart weeps
As my leave draws near
Your company, I must say
Cheers me up always
Your lovely personalties
Constantly boost my ego
Oh ! How I wish.............
I turn the hands of time
To suit my desires
Alas ! That can never be
I must confess my love to you all
You all made my stay a memorable one.

BLOOD Time of Thought 01: 22am Date of Thought 20th March, 2009

It's a life
It's stronger than gold
It's primary part of life
Without it no being

Something harder than mustard seed
Substance thicker than water
It attract more than magnet
Is a cherish substance

An unbreakable cord
That connects the child,
The father and the mother together
A material for irreversible
Covenant on the cross of Calvary
Don't. Toil with it

Ever best redeemer's material
Used on the cross
Cherish it, keep it, don't shed it
Blood is life
Blood is a seal.
