Dear pastor….
I come in consideration,
That this should be my last resort.
Having sought help from callers not a few.

The lion in me,
Don’t dare, I am sold out to the Lion of the Tribe of Judah
You know Him,
I received mercy,

President Olusegun Obasanjo- Atiku Abubakar

Promises of pardoned traitors
Reek like ancient regrets.

As you grow older, they fade into oblivion
The friends you once revered,
The company you once adored,
Like flowers they fade and fall by the way side

Yesterday,

It was just yesterday in September,
He was laid to rest in golden casket
...

Let us go
To where?
The church.
The church?
...

Before you this day
I lay bare
Naked as I come
With no will of mine
...

I saw on a wall, in the street of religion
an inscription which Reads

'So when you meet
...

These old world is filled with wonders
And many beyond comprehension
I speak of these that my little mind knows so less
Than I aught.
...

Will you try again?
With avalanche of failures,
The peak, the peak or add the zenith, futile, “all labors lost”
Yet, once more I must, ere I die, with dripping blood, though it’s the last once more I must

They proved their strength in tilling
Providing meat so many

This Poem will speak to Peter,

This poem doubts not the sincerity of true worshipers,

Alone at night, when men slept
In a parley of man and spirits of hell
...

From the seven empty seas of earth

To the highest mount and hill on land

When we sneak in darkest night
While men slip to the hut
Of Baba Awo,
It is no for greeting to the oracle

We love your wife long before you met her,
But we cannot marry her for a wife,
We care so much for your wife, even if it mean hating you
We would fight anyone to prove our love,

Keep this rhyme for Kara, gild with priceless ornament, and let me tell my part with a verse
Amiable mode of multitudinous compassion muted with duty, see as she takes her exits
Receptive and friendly, let me not compare, I remember well.
Accessible, and speedily this season pass, reminisce
...

Though late the night has been,
Through paths so darkened and gloomy
Not for the similitude of our hope
