MY SWEETHEART

You r beauty stops my heart

Each time I see you

For your love is so abundant in my heart

The secret passage that goes from one heart

To the other has been filled with your love

How can you be so amazing!!!

Happiness is everywhere

At the announcement of your presence

 Isn’t it funny how love bringS with it

A strange kind of yearning

A yearning evident in the mind body and eyes

I strongly yearn for you

I want to spend my life with you

True love resides not on the lips but eyes

So look into my eyes when I say I love you

Because only my eyes reflect my true love for  you

My Sweetheart 

WHO IS SHE?

She is crazy but not lazy

Beautiful but not a fool

She’s humorous but not nervous

She is popular but normal

She is fun because she run

She is light even in the night

She is loved by many

Yet she does not love any

Many are confused about her love life

But she’s got no love life

I have seen different faces

At different phases of my life

But her face stands out

Even in her moody mood

She is not moody

They call her Bella

But I call her Amaka

She’s a friend

Not yet a girlfriend

She is BENEDICT SARAH AMAKA BELLA.

FIND A PURPOSE!!!

Of recent, I have heard a lot of fellow youths say “education o jawo!” some have even gone to the extent of saying they regret ever coming to school! Like seriously? Are you really serious?!! The most pathetic thing is when you ask them why? They’ll start quoting how Bill Gates did not go to school, how Mark Zuckerberg is a drop out and how Neymar didn’t see the four walls of school, OMG!!! Are you for real? Is that how far your six can take you?

One major important thing you’ve all failed to take cognizance of is the fact that these guys found a purpose for their lives with education (no matter how little) as the background foundation, you’ve all failed to know that Mark got admission into Harvard University, one of the world’s best University and he didn’t just drop out, he “dropped out” knowing fully that he has a couch to fall on, should he fail in the pursuit of his dream in which he found a purpose. Don’t also forget that Bill Gates is still on leave of absence at the same University (Harvard) so you see the role of education? Note that Education is not an end in itself but a means to an end, so if you let go of the means you might not get the end.

What is your purpose? You don’t know? Then look for one, find yourself a purpose, give yourself a sense of belonging, everything is not money, money will come when you have a purpose because purpose itself attracts money. Find yourself a purpose, look for people’s problem(s) and struggle to provide solution to it and let people know you for something, yes! Let them know you for something, we know Zuckerberg as the founder of Facebook, Bill Gates micro-soft and Neymar footballer, so what do people know you for? A liability or an asset? You don’t necessarily have to be a founder or pioneer, but you can be actively part of something. FIND A PURPOSE!!!  

To Survive

It is either you move

Or you are moved

It is either you hustle

Or you are hustled

You must be smart

Or you must be dull

You cannot be smart and dull

You just must be one to survive

ABSOL

My Love

Epitome of beauty

Zenith of prettiness

Climax of good looking

Is who you are

And that is what you are

I have been meeting beautiful ladies

But you stand out

Your second to none character stands you out

Your natural beauty is an asset

Your beauty shines even in the night

Without light you are a sight

I never get tired of looking at

Because you are my love

And I love you.

ABSOL

BEAUTIFUL BUT DUMB

Beautifully she walked in

Beautifully she sat down

In the midst of people seated

Her hair beautifully made

With her face well made up

Could she be a sadist?

Jokes were cracked but she will not smile

She looked lost

This got all of us lost

But no one to find her

What is wrong with her?

No one knows

And isolation became inevitable

Because talking to her is nothing an impossible task

But here she is extremely beautiful

And highly pretty

And blessed with good body shape

At the point of departing

Her instructor came in

She smiled for the first time

Then we realized she was deaf and dumb

ABSOL 

WORSHIP HIM!!!

Why should you thank Him?

Why should you worship Him?

Why should you give him Praise?

Why should you even go into His vineyard

With either praise or thanksgiving?

Why worship?!!!

I will tell you why?

Yes maybe you don’t know

Or probably you know

But you don’t know that you know

That is it is good to give thanks to God

Because He is our God

To declare His loving kindness

In the morning is a must

And His faithfulness

In the night is a priority

For He is God Almighty

No wonder says the Psalmist

Oh give thanks unto the Lord for He is good

And His mercies endures forever

He never went to University

Yet the capability of His mentality

Supersedes  those of Professors

Even in their conformity

How wonderful He is

That wonders are His beautiful ways

The Author of authors

Father of father

God of gods

King of kings

Pilot of pilots

President of presidents

Lecturer of lecturers

At the mention of His identity

Principalities are in Jeopardy

No vacancy for  impossibilities

Despite the density of His responsibilities

Why worship Him?

You are still asking?

Don’t you know?

That He is the giver of life

Alpha and Omega

Worship Him because it is to your own Advantage

How?

Because He needs less  of you

It is you that needs More of Him

There are enough stones, trees, and animals

Ready to worship His majesty

If you don’t

So it is either you worship or worship

Because you cannot do to Him

But worship!!!!

WORSHIP HIM!!!

ABSOL

NO TO WAR

Hoo! Yea! War!!!

What’s it really good for?

Absolutely nothing!

Like absolutely nothing!

I have heard of wars

I have heard of how women/ladies

Were turned to whores

I have heard of wars

I have heard of how things have turned sour

Because of war

I am young

And have not lived for long

But I have studied history

Read of war story

None has ever been good

Because nothing about war is good

It is either you kill or you are killed

It’s aftermath has never been predictable

No one that has ever witnessed one

Will look forward for another one

Dear “IPOBians” we know you want to go

Though we don’t want you to go

But if you must go like Ghana

Go peacefully

And not the way of war

We don’t want war

And we say no to war

Together we can make Nigeria great

Let us go of our respective egos

And come together as one

And together Nigeria shall be great

God bless Nigeria!

Say NO! to war.

YOU WASTED MY TIME

You showed me what love is

Even when I didn’t know what it is

You gave me hope

Even when I thought there was no hope

You said you’ll be thinking about it

And so I waited for your verdict

I said I wanted friendship

You voicelessly said you wanted a relationship

I tried to run away from your company

But you will not stop keeping my company

I waited for you

Just for you

Because I fell in love with you

Reality dawn on me

When you said you never loved me

“it can’t work” was what you  said

Then I realized you wasted my time.  

ABSOL

I GIVE UP ON LOVE

I thought they said you are patient

And that you are caring

How come you turned out opposite

What is your usefulness?

You rendered me powerless

Turned my playfulness to seriousness

For your sake I let go of

My most cherished character

 “Craziness” and “Madness’

And embrace that which I hate

“Gentleness” and “Quietness’

I respected you

Even when you don’t deserve it

But then you turned out to be

Energy Sucker and strength removal

Because you’ve drained me so much

And now I am nothing

But a vagabond in the city of love

You ought to be a friend

But now you are nothing

But an enemy

I depart from you

And our paths never to cross again

Because I have given up on you

LOVE!

ABSOL

WHEN I WAS STUPID

When I was stupid and foolish

I did a lot of things that were stupid and foolish

When stupidity was in my blood

Even every little cell in my body

Behaved stupidly

My emotions behaved stupidly

My sense of reasoning was not left out

After all stupidity has no limit

 When I was stupid

I fell in love stupidly

I made my friends my enemies

And enemies friends

My stupidity reached its climax

When I thought there was no God

Until my savior and redeemer

Who made a way

Even when there seems to be no way

Through my dear daddy

And then I was taken out of

The shackles of stupidity

And now in Him I am wise.

MY BETTER HALF

To the whole world

You mean someone

But to me you’re not just someone

You mean the whole world

Your name brings joy to my heart

Because your love has filled my heart

Your appearance makes my day

Even from the first day

How can I stop loving you?

When my body, soul and spirit is for you?

Your absence makes me feel incomplete

Because your presence makes me complete

It was late before I realize you are my better half

Because you complete me my dear better half.

LIFE OF A HOUSEGIRL

The moment she steps in to the house

Madam goes on sabbatical leave

And becomes the Idi Amin of her Uganda

She no longer have her voice

As she’s  now a prisoner of diplomatic decorum

She automatically turns a celeb

As her name becomes the song in everybody’s mouth

Everything she do must be right

Even if she is not alright

She wakes up early in the morning

While madam enjoys early morning

Football match

And sleeps late in the night

Because everything must be in place at night

She is in a bigger trouble if oga at the top

Is of 2face genealogy

Then her troubles become two edged sword

She must satisfy mommy in the kitchen

And daddy in the other room

While thinking of her family

Back in the village

Oh what a life of a housegirl

If daddy and children should like her more than mommy

Then she is a witch

And thereby sent back to village

End of story.

ABSOL

WHEN I WILL STOP LOVING YOU

When I fell in love with you

I didn’t plan to stop loving you

But when you asked me

To stop loving you

I have decided to give you conditions

To stop loving you

 I will stop loving you

When you stop walking with your legs

When you don’t smile again

And when you stop bearing your name

I will stop loving you

When you stop being you

When you stop being beautiful

When you stop being the girl I fell for

And When you stop breathing and go to hell

ABSOL

BEFORE THE LIGHT

Before the light
we had no problem with light
Like a blind man we walked our streets
we did not complain
Because our minds were plane
But then they gave us light
In every nook and cranny of our environment
But unfortunately
The cloudy atmospheric condition
Have decided to put us in a dark condition
Depriving us of enjoying the sun in the night
Because we are no longer used to the Dark night

 

ABSOL

THE HARDER YOU THE SOFTER ME

When I asked you out
I was not asking for a hangout
I want you to be my girlfriend
Because I  saw in you  the quality of a best friend
So why are you being hard
By making things so hard
When I said I love you
I did not just want you
I wanted to be part of you
And you part of me
Because you mean so much to me
For how long will you keep me waiting
For every little cell of my body is tired of waiting
Let me know my fate
Before it is too late
So I will know either to walk away
or to remain your love all the way.

ABSOL

SOLDIERS OF BLOOD

War mongers is who they are

Citizens of every Nation

Capable of violating the territorial integrity of any nation

They don’t care who you are

Neither do they have respect for what you are

They don’t want to know either you are fine or ugly

Oh blood sucking monsters

All they want is to destroy and devour

They don’t care what position you are holding

Even if you are the manager of power holding

You can hardly foresee when and where they will attack from

You don’t see them in the daylight

Because their strength is in the night

And when they attack, all they want is the blood

Oh OAU BEDBUGS

The soldiers of Blood

The mighty men of valor

Capable of sucking the Suckables

We salute you

Our indispensable companion

The soldiers  of blood.

ABSOL

DEAR DADDY

DEAR DADDY

Whenever I look at you

I see a man of virtue

Your diplomatic decorum

Is enough to give instructions

Because your body language

Is second to none

The pride of Ile Akeran

The joy and hero of Olatorera Atoke

The courageous father of Ajike

Akinkanju baba Adigun Amama

No nonsense baba omobobola

I might not be of your lineage

But I am proud to call you father

Because you are my number one role model

The origin of my inspiration

The source of my motivation

You made the journey from grass to grace look so simple

Because your life is too simple

It is not your birthday

But you deserve to be celebrated everyday

More anointing sir.

ABSOL

RECONSIDER!

I thought I will never love another girl
Until You said you are not the girl
If I wanted us to be friends
I would not have asked you to be my girlfriend
So don't tell me you want us to be friends
Because I don't want you as a friend
But a girlfriend
so do  reconsider your decision
RECONSIDER!!

ABSOL
