Love is a mystery,
God is love,
A gift to humanity,
God himself loved first,
Christ was a symbol of that love,
Am amazing love,
Beyond words can ever explain,

Our world thirst for love,
We hunger more for it in our daily life,
We preach love,
We profess it,
We confess it,

Is our love selfless?
Is it self seeking,
Is it sacrificial?

Love is kind,
Love is patient,
Love keeps no record of wrongs,
Love forgives,
Love builds,
Love seeks the interest of others,

Dark Night
A dark night hover around my country,
The night was indeed dark,
A night marked with blood,
A night we can’t forget,

A night spilled with blood,
Blood of innocent Nigerians,
Marching in peace on this dark night,
Raising their beloved flag with honour,

Night has murdered sleep,
The dark night has stolen lives,
Our land is soaked with blood,
The fertile land breeds blood,

I can’t hold my tears from rolling,
My heart bleeds with pain,
Is shedding of blood the answer?
Does life mean anything to you my beloved country?
