The Prodigal Son's Creed

Give me less, less so I realize I'll always have more in you

Give me hunger, hunger that no pig's meal will be available for me

Let me realize I'm dead, death that births your life in me

Let me realize i'm lost, lost when I have no sight of you

YELLOW: TALE OF THE TIDES

That fateful night when life's eyes shed two streams of separate tears.
The beauty of one was bringing you to life and anguish of the other which was taking hers
Streaks of salty fluid made its path on you; partially washing her blood stains off you
Your shrill subdued her quiet sobs as she made her way to where you came from.

Caressed by the pangs of excruciating pain and her fleeting breath
Echo of her joy was reverberated while holding closely to her bundle of joy
Genetics successfully passed her charming dimple-traits from her cheeks to yours
Such beauty to reproduce oneself on exit only to suffer the gift of a day's sight.

Rays from the sun hit my pupils, accompanied by warm tears to cool my hurting eyes.
Separated by 6ft between two worlds where she lay I recount the story of her.
On this side dear one, today can be life, wealth, joy but tomorrow; no guarantee - nothing.
Like the rise and fall of the tides, life can't be too fair or cruel is just what it is.

TRIBUTE TO KEFEE

You know what, call it self-deception but I choose to stick to what my belief.

I was hoping for a miracle, praying every chance I got as you journeyed to the other side

I tell emerging artistes what you told me whenever I get a chance; to maximize every opportunity to do a free show or ministration portraying the old truth…

“If you see a man diligent in his business he will stand before kings and not ordinary men”

Simplicity was your hallmark and your openness was exceedingly transparent

You worked hard giving everything your best yet, contentment was your watchword.

I always wanted to hear DC Envoys after their split and you shared how important it was getting them back to feature in Who Get Ear ft DC Envoys, Akpororo.

You did your best anyways and improvised where you had to but trust me, you are a seeker of peace.

You wanted to bring people together as much as possible – which showed in everything you did.

I told Anny a few days ago, that to me you are still alive – in my heart I guess in our hearts at large.

I fight my tears from falling but I believe you are in a better place called heaven a better side of life.

As for my belief you are still alive, as in our hearts; memories of you continue to live.
