MAN'S NEW WORLD!!!

Lo, I was;

In trance;

I look!

I see!

Everywhere;

Overtake;

Overtakes;

Overtake;

Confusion ever;

Breaking bone;

The wicked;

Carries men;

In captivity;

See them;

Children weep;

They hunger;

They thirst;

No food;

Nor water;

To eat;

Nor drink!

Everywhere;

Is struggling;

For money;

Everywhere;

Is bombing;

Everywhere;

Is maiming;

Everywhere;

Is killing;

See mankind;

Future is bleak!

Yet, a preacher;

Comes preach;

To dying men;

He talks ‘bout;

Suffocation in;

Lake of hell fire;

But, I say:

It’s already;

Hell on earth;

In all these;

Fizz bombs!

THE LADY DIED!!!

Oh, Yemmie!

Sweet gal;

O' mine;

Oh, Yemmie!

Sweet love;

O’ mine;

Gone too soon!

Like a comet;

Blazing 'cross;

The evening Sky

Gone too soon!

Oh, Yemmie!

Sweet love;

O’ mine;

Gone too soon!

TO MAMA WITH LOVE!!!

In my soul, mama;

I remember about you;

Thank you, mama;

Sweet mama o!

Exactly today;

Some decades ago;

I was departing the village;

To go to Lagos;

Hadn’t anticipated;

You’d be going to;

Meet with the Lord;

Before I’d come again;

To say hi mom;

Memory is ever fresh;

Feeling the last hug;

Remembering you;

In all things;

Missing you;

It won’t let me be;

Ever since, I have;

Tried very hard;

Just to stand;

But, the forces;

That had poisoned you;

While you carried me;

In the womb;

Are very much around;

Hounding me;

They won’t lemme be;

However, I rock on;

Believing in Christ Jesus;

Missing you!

Hope you missing me;

Those who grow old;

With their mama;

Don’t know the good;

Value of mother;

I envy them;

They don’t know;

Many underestimate;

The support of woman;

Notwithstanding, life rolls;

And, here’s my gratitude:

Thank you, mama;

E eh, mama o!

Missing you;

I’ve never be free;

You were here;

Then you left me;

Who’s to say,

Where anyone belongs;

So, it’s your Deola;

In tearful eyes;

Saying:

Thank you o mama o;

Thank you!

My dear mama o!

Thank you!

Thank you mama;

O mama o!

Thank you!
