Not For Sale

Light: This one is not for sale 

So sail, to the yonder

Darkness: But see, he wanders 

Light: That's why I'm awesome wonder

So ponder longer, he's coming out stronger 

 Me: Permission for trial was granted

I took his mission for granted 

Hunted; by the cravings of my flesh

Lusted; my eyes was off the price

Busted; my pride got me arrested 

"Go to Jail", sin decided my fate

but not my faith

Like the poor man, I cried and the Lord heard me

and delivered me from all my troubles 

 This is too much a price 

Making me His prize

His death was done

My debts forgone

Salvation victory's won

Scarlet Robe

Royal shame! Oxymoron's ego couldn't have been 

better massaged at that instant.

Selfie's shutter clicked; capturing the: thorny crown, 

staff and scarlet robe adorning his ripped flesh.

Picture was not saved in the Hosanna folder but that 

of Scorn; hash tagged - King of the Jews.

They staged the mock, led Golgotha's walk and executed 

the one mocked with the scarlet robe.

Torn curtains, broken tombs, the dead rose even the earth quaked 

at the very moment he yielded his spirit.

Witnessing the precedent of things that surpasses that of all kings, 

they became terrified and testified...

"Surely he was the son of God!"

Recruited by execution into the heavenly army, he led captivity captive, 

alive in the grave his death brought us life.

"Surely he wasn't just the son of God, He is the son of God"

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

Gazella

A depth beyond navigation, is the mind of the Almighty.
In the cloak of frailty you were adorned and what you lack
in strength, you gain in speed.
Swifter than the ride of gravity caught through the sun falling
on tiny droplets of rain shinning when it splatters upon earth's impact.
Even the very stars are formed with every stride in flight and the rainbow
behind the lens on panoramic view.
What an epitome of beauty you are, showing forth praise even through the storm
He indeed made all things beautiful in its time.
Sweet Gazella!

An Ode to an Angel Left Behind

To what do you ascribe such resplendent bliss?

Or whom do you accord such emblem of grace?

Once upon a former that transcends the latter

A story often retold without losing its savor

Ordinary tale of moments like raindrops

Flooding a world with sparkles of delight

An account of fragile infant steps of companionship

Today competes with hearts and blood’s bond

This prime glory I ascribe to the Master Architect

A perfected plan of a future before its existence

God left me an angel, God left me you.

Simply Put

Like in most developing nations, the fumes generated in traffic congested situations is alarming! It is often seen in metropolitan cities where 80% of the cars used are not brand new. Public vehicles used for transportation often contribute to the greatest degree of such pollution with little or no remorse from the drivers because it’s all about the Benjamins. Whether they care about the long term effect or the people with good cars, functional air conditions and sufficient petrol, not bothering; are topics for another day.

To cut the chase, sometimes life does not only put us in positions where we really can’t eradicate such unideal situations, but also presents us with the option of being cushioned from the direct exposure.

Many have been exposed to such situations in different forms. Knowing you has been like one whisked away from one congestion to a valley of fresh roses. The fragrance of your love, concern and advice is like the gentle breeze aiding the sweet scent into my nostrils. Simply put, you surpass what it means to be a breath of fresh air. 

This is dedicated to you in appreciation for being all that you’ve been. Love you!
