And He Thanked God!

Father God, this day is dying in the Western Horizon, Even if I had the will to keep going, My body can’t take it anymore, I must pause for rest and prepare for tomorrow, But before I retire my fatigued frame to gain some rest from the thorns and thistles of this world, Dear Father, […]

Don’t Act Surprised!

You are doing the same thing, But you have lots of expectations that the result would be different, Just the way you did it on the day you failed, Why act surprised that the result is the same? You leave by Train… Why act surprised that you neither land nor have to deal with jet […]

If You Must Be Righteous

If you must be righteous,Then why don’t you make it your new mantra,Imbibing every bit of it,Living it as if to betray it would be instantly suicidal,Unlike when we keep retribution on the finish line until doomsday. If you must be righteous,Then why don’t you just try it with your all in all,I mean, trying […]

God Has Done His Part!

God has done His part,Giving us His only son to die a vicarious death for us,Whether we accept Him or not is up to us,But in Him only is life eternal. God has done His part,Granting us a Sabbath day for rest and holy convocation,Whether we accept the rest and partake of its blessings is […]

Faithful In These Little Things

Life generously serves us,With problems and opportunities,A lot of which may not reflect our goals,The goals of life at its best,We want more lucrative opportunities,Opportunities that will make people want to take selfies with us,Letting the world know that we and they are bosom buddies,As they feed their ego that they, too, are well-connected,And if […]

Sorry! We Ain’t Driving Under Same Instructions!

Sorry,We ain’t driving under the same instructions,Mine is not better than yours,We are just different, which makes all the difference.I cannot accelerate at whatever speed I want; I have to consult first,When I need to overtake, and the track is clear, I still must keep left,Waiting patiently until instructed to veer ahead of those ahead […]

The First Wrong Step

I am not worried if I see a drunkard drunk and disorderly,When he staggers and wobbles like an old automobile,Or totter like an overstayed hut,But when I see a man who has never touched that bewitching glass,Take their first dart and begin his series of doomsday I tremble. I am not worried when the queen […]

Every Battle Has Casualties

We are in a battle,A bitter battle,Fighting visible foes,And invisible foes,Even if we do not see it,Yet we have to fight it,In some battles, we end up winning,For some, we give away the privilege of winning,And the enemy goes home happy,As we go home unhappy 😞,So we count our losses,And sneer at the crosses,But wait […]

Something Better Instead

Is there something you’ve counted as a loss?Something you don’t want to further toss?You do well to think like that,Life is all about clearing the clutter,And letting go of all that doesn’t matter. But you must not be like many woeful folks,Who often jump out the life-threatening yorks,And yet move around empty and unfulfilled,It is […]

Your Time Is Coming

Your time is coming,Like the joy which cometh in the morning,You know well the vastness of the tarrying time,Everything seems to be detouring away from the dime,But is it not worth everything to wait long,Than, rushing into a rendezvous of coquetry, only to marry wrong, So your time is coming,Though it does so crawling,You are […]
