PAIN

I have walked length and breath,

I have seen Low and height,

Changes have occurred, days gone

Yet my dreams is yet to come,

I have incurred much pain

Is it because am a decedent of Cain?

After all this, nothing left to gain

And i still wish for good once again,

Yes pain made me a stronger version of myself

Indeed I honestly work for pain itself,

Because am a true believer 

And pain is my true reward from the giver,

Pain helps me tolerate

Pain made me appreciate,

Pain made me look for a way

Out of this isolate place,

In pain did my mother bear me

In pain also she raised me

In joyous pain I got a name

Now i live with pain down the lane,

Sometimes I wish I was bigger!

I hope, I become better

Am not a day dreamer

I simply work harder,

Pain made them beg on the street,

Pain made some struggle to be rich,

Pain even made some the gospel preach,

Indeed pain has made us much better!

Pain goes beyond the fleshy hurt

It goes dip to hurt the heart!

My fathers fought in pain

And got their freedom through pain,

A constant element is pain,

It consent not to change

Man is born free, but all round he is in chain

Like a free man in cage!

Some couldn't bear the pain,

So they seek for another quicker way

That took them to an early grave

See how they misused grace!

Truth be told, everyone has tasted pain 

Even my lord made us free through pain!

The apostles, many was slain,

So as to get a greater gain

Don't be deceived

To make it, you must first plant the seed,

Sow in pain, reap in joy

To us, life was never a toy!

To some it was easy

Their father made them lazy,

They never knew pain

They became tyrants, and caused more pain!

To this day and after, I work harder

Not to brag, but to be greater,

Than my brave fathers 

And to teach wisdom to the latters.

POVERTY

This makes man wretched,

This among men cause hatred,

Yes this is a disaster

That wounds forever!

Poverty kills the spirit

And destroys the body explicit,

Hard work is it only exit

To a weaker district,

Yea, don't confuse human need 

For the fleshy human greed,

In this world of vanity

What's the cause of insanity?

You wicked killer!

You high fever!

You sweet pizza 

In a lazy man hands,

Its strains man of life, 

It kills talent

It makes one low, like a blind bat

It presents hunger strike,

What's life without money?

When life is said to be more of money

A man that have it, has glory

He can gladly share his story,

Money is not the root of all evil

Believe me, its poverty! which kills and entice like a devil,

Again, don't be deceived by man's greed

Money is an essential need!

Why are the Negros entangled with poverty?

Disease is what they own as property,

Most of these guys are wallowing in poverty

How can I free them of this long-time agony?

Poverty is the state of nothingness,

A value less than a worth!

Which create chances for wrath,

Its isolates one, and drown him or her in hopelessness, 

Poverty kills faster than a disease,

It made all our able-bodied youth flee

To become thugs for the ambassadors of poverty,

Ooh what a misery!

I remember, he said to me son

You have to make it under the sun!

Don't bother for fame

Instead fulfill your name,

He told me victory 

Is what out-stand poverty,

Although its not easy

He unleashed the secret!

He took me from where i fright

He made me see the light,

Now i write to them that strife

The legacy he gave me I keep alive.

Say no to poverty

Don't give up on your dreams quickly,

Fear is poverty infantry!

Live your dreams; defeat poverty.

A BILLION DOLLAR DREAM

I have a billion dollar dream,
I have traveled through thought stream;
Am not talking of a movie film
This is what i see within...

My dream is to make life easy,
To encourage the weak and lazy,
To make their pain exit,
To overcome life's deceit;

My dream is to make people see
That there's nothing like limitation,
Only if they yield to temptation;
Definitely we will cut down "i can't" tree;

My dream is to create a landmark
I want to be a history maker,
I want to be a world shaker,
My dream is to hit the mark...

I want to be read on every history pages,
My name will live all through the ages,
That's why am cleaved to the rock of ages,
I have to faithfully pass through this stages...

I was sent on and errand;
So I can't turn around,
I must gain this ground,
My maker will be proud...

Its up to me to make this happen,
I have got my potentials sharpen,
I have long waited for me,
This time, this won't elude me;

I have to leave a legacy,
I want to create a tendency
For the young upcoming
To get to the line of finishing,


Am my father's son,
Am ready for this, am strong
I will fight head-long
I will make it under the sun.

I have one goal in this life
To be better than i was yesterday
Because i only got today
I want to lead a better, peaceful life!

I won't go to sleep
Until I reach my destiny's peak
This bridge, I must cross tonight,
Because tomorrow might not be mine;

I have a billion dollar dream
This is real inside of me,
I have  to make it a reality
That will last for eternity,

I have a billion dollar dream,
It's in my DNA,
It's how i was made,
This is real! my dream...

I have a billion dollar dream,
It's burning within me,
I just have to cross this sea,
This is what i see, it is a billion dollar dream.

THE DAMSEL

In the 70's she was never
Respected, educated nor cared for,
Hers was to tidy the house
Running the kitchen like a mouse,

She was scorned, reproached
Dejected, despised and disposed!
Like a toy in the hands of men
And a shame in the eyes of women!

But today the 21st century
Is a picture and motion to the contrary,
Everything seems to have changed
The new age, has changed the trend

The most neglected and dejected
Now appears the most respected
How did she helped herself?
How come she is among the chief fief!

The never cherished but despaired
Has risen to the most desired
The importance of the woman
Is beyond the comprehension of man!

The damsel of no reputation
Has exceeded the value of depreciation
Who ever knew
Would have aforementioned proclaim the news,

She is now the product of success,
The very carrier of excellence,
Her passed calamity
Is now her equity!

They say: behind the success of a man
There is always a woman
Did our fathers never knew that?
Neither did our mother considered that!

As today is a moment
Yesterday was the movement,
And tomorrow unpredictable
The future looks like a round table!

The most adorable is a woman
Also note: the devil is like a woman
With a sign she seduced the man
Everybody is now a victim of Satan!

The once awkward creature
Unappreciated by nature
Is now the most sweetest feature
In a deceptive nomenclature,

She has attain all man has
She has gone all where men has
She intend to do better than man ever
Can she be this greater?

She boast of her beauty
And made men leak her feet,
She proclaimed herself as a goddess
But is she really worth the contest?

Finally to comprehend the woman is folly
Without her the man is lonely
The very firm right hand of man
Man and woman the sweetest collaboration of the almighty creator (GOD).

TOMORROW IS JUST A SHADOW

When we were kids; we thought life was beautiful...
As kids life was the sweetest thing as fortunes,
Then we were just innocent doves
Who knew not the aches of life's troubles,

Now we have grown old,
Striving all day like a toad
We have walked this weary road
Today we don't have to be told

We were just believers of tomorrow,
And despise-rs of today!
Planning for a big tomorrow
Put no foundation for today,

Don't blame it on yesterday!
You still have today;
There is no such thing as tomorrow!
Only lazy people live on tomorrow,

You are strong...
For you to get along
You have to fight head-long
Then your victory will be a song!

Don't escape today's pain,
That's what yield tomorrow's gain
Life is not a game
It will tame you lame...

Everyday you complain,
And you end up lame
Now you are seeking whom to blame
Ooh on tomorrow's lane!

Live everyday for today
Because gone is yesterday,
You have one shot at this life
So stand tall, and live-life

Don't be moved by what they say
That's what they do everyday!
They couldn't do it, doesn't mean you can't
Live everything on i can...

Don't worry tomorrow would be better...
If you don't do it today, then there is always a tomorrow
No, no, no, there is no sure-tee you will show up tomorrow
Life is not tasteful as creamed-bread or milked-butter

If tomorrow would be better
While not work for it today!
Believe me there is no such thing as tomorrow sweetheart
Make it happen , then you have the taste of fulfillment,

When you want to simplify this life
Its not just milk, you may do more than strive
Because life is not a free ride
If you want to win, face the tide!

Truth be told: tomorrow waits for no man
He night runs until tomorrow to elevate the winner-man,
Be ahead of tomorrow by working hard today
Till you have that taste of the day,

You always say, we are leaders of tomorrow
What about today?
It will surely be better tomorrow!
There is no such thing as tomorrow.

HOME REJECTED

Cool evening kids danced round the fire
played till mid-night and never tire
this home was once full of excitement
now this place is rejected

at childhood they loved this place
at adulthood they abhor this place
they crossed seas to change their state
so they rejected this place in search of fame

we grew up together
we had faith towards one another
but today we are just observers
of the dream we once admired

we wished for big dreams
we believed what we saw in movies
unknown to us that was just fictions
today most of us are victims

if home is home why did you leave
while you were here destiny sleeps
big dreams vanished here
I hope you find solace there

these are the nevers
which pitch there tenth on decayed layers
hoping for the best
working for the less

we are very few optimist
that laserate this mischief among our mist
advocates for humanity
preachers of mercy

life is just too short
we don't hesitate to take a shot
we have to stand tall
else we end up like them that fell

we wanted to live big
so we dreamed big
life appeared a unproductive fig
haven't we yet dig deep

we woke up in a crazy world
choked of fruitless words
despised like a bug
feared like a tug

it was a period when we went to school without shoes
we loved it, because it was the escape of woes
even today we have educated illiterate
who at office postrate

why did you say we are leaders of tomorrow
what about today
why did you say it will be better tomorrow
how about today

if home is home, why is home dejected
this home is for long rejected
there is nothing like home
when you can't even remember your language tone

build a wonderful life
make a peaceful home
never give up on your dreams by going back home
home is in your heart, the one back there is rejected.
