Those who Wait

In a world of quick rebounds
Where spontaneity is taken
As smartness, people are
Always on the GO!
 
On this side of existence
A sure way of fulfilling
Our dreams is to frequently

Today and Tomorrow

The air is sparingly moist,

You feel the heat while you're in.

But outside, you get the tan to your skin.

Strongly, I feel the weight

Of the need of upholding righteousness

And shunning all would-be available baits

That would, this season draw me towards sinfulness.

 

Democracy in Nigeria

When you add plenty

To foolishness:

What you get, is what makes

Our Nigerian legislators pursue

How they can confiscate

Our national WEALTH,

Rather than striving to legislate

For our national HEALTH.

The Ten Virgins

Beautiful virgins, ten they were.

At dusk set they forth,

Bracing the cold and the draught,

On a journey to get

For themselves, what was dear.

O'er the valleys, o'er the mountains,

Through rivers, passing by crystal fountains,

Journeying, willing not to rest awhile

For the prize, no distraction could deny.
