I’ve Been to Two Worlds.

I have lived in two Worlds, Worlds that we’ve all been invited to, Whose flags we raise or trample underfoot day by day, And I can be trusted to give my survey report, The first world I visited was the World of Opposed to God. The road to this world was smooth and sliding, Its […]

Whose Boyfriend are You?

I think it’s out of sympathy,That the world is celebrating today,All the boyfriends.So you are a boyfriend, A nice boyfriend who has committed himself with a passion put to use to some damsel,Who now can, with confidence,Disappoint all who knock at their emotional doors with a four a letter word that men do not want […]

My Greatest Fear

I in no wise doubt this statement which in the Bible has been declared three hundred and sixty-five times,Deliberately to have one for each day, That “Do not be afraid!”But there are a few things that scare me,I’m afraid of undecided lifestyle,Casting my lot with the saints and yet indifferent about occupying a space at […]

My Facemask Has Saved Me.

We used to see them worn by surgeons in an operating theatre, But Covid-19 has sent them to the streets, So that even those who can’t spell the word ‘laboratory’ can use them. At the onset, I seriously loathed them, They seem to be at war with my life giving deep breaths, But now I […]

If You Were to Create Your Own Woman…

If you had the privilege of being the potter,And your woman being in the form of clay still,So that you begin the project of creating your own woman, Bringing together the specs that would make you not look at the greener grass across the fence.So you begin kneading clay, as one who makes dough for […]

I Still Love Beautiful Things

I may have had it rough and bumpy,The highway screeching and screaming,But I still love beautiful things,I will hold on to the steering wheel a little while,For I can’t give up hope,Or, to be bolder, giving up is too costly for me. The journey looks endless,The horizon stretching afar off,But I still love beautiful things,And […]

What if They Knew?

What if they knew?That you are not what they thought you to be?Your parents believe you are a hardworking student, and they keep on reminding your relatives to prepare to be in the entourage witnessing your graduation. They just don’t know that you are the general of the notorious rats terrorising the suburbs of your […]

A MAN USED TO LIVE HERE.

I saw a man living right in my space,Rough and devoid of grace,He was ready to quibble and murmur,When not swimming in the pool of humor,This man has invented another disability,Of a step forward and three backward with agility,This man knew how wrong others were,While forgetting he too does err,So he excused himself,While skinning the […]

Beware of Tares

We put our effort together,All the tares to gather,That our wheat may grow,Like perfect cornrow,So we Can’t stand seeing around,Even a sickly tare occupying our ground, But not so with God,Who all of us guard,He is well aware that there are tares in the choir,Whose names are legibly written in the quire, Yet He has […]

Do We Really Need the Church?

Ecclesiastical history is marked with the traitors in our frontiers, Hypocritical members threatening and promising, A highway flooded with the blood of martyrdom, Imperialists using the gospel of peace as a decoy for political ends,Unconverted clergymen making it sickly and ready to die, So do we need the Church? Scholars will tell you to be […]
