We Loose A Battle To Win A War

As human every now and then we engage

In various kind of welfare battles

We battle with our self

Sometimes we engaged in fierce battle

With our fellowmen in pursuit of the hate syndrome

But we must lay it aside

And chase it all out to fight in forefront

The front of excellence at a worthy fight

We lose a battle to win a war sometimes

A fist is better off then feast

We fight to keep life moving

We fight to stay out of the bed every morning

We fight to keep our commitment to God and man

We fight to keep our family going and relationship

We fight all along through life

Other times

We fight against diseases

That affects our health

Just to keep our body and soul going

Running through it all

We fight head long to keep our job

And having a winsome career

Keeping headlong in the face of challenging task

Sometimes we lose a battle to win a war

Fight to finish till it all went down

LEADERSHIP IN TURBULENT TIMES

At such a time like these

In such a critical moment

Where we live as humans

Nation is sick likewise her citizens

Leadership are confuse

But it takes a leader

Whose conscience has not been soiled

With all manners of unshaken questionable character

Will be able to keep stay the shaken boat of this nation

Leadership in turbulent times

At a time of our lives

Where insecurity is on heck

Where fear ravages the land

Where we have so much hates from political parties

As defection is the order of the day

Where are education systems

Has fallen below standard seek and needs urgent surgery

Where nothing but corruption is taken the order of the day

Every is running for one political position for self interest

Leadership in turbulent times

A such a time

Where the treasury of the nation

Has been suck by the bed bock

Whether and torn apart by the undivided attention of political unwell persons

Everyone is crying whose gonna save us from this menace

Leadership is shaking

Leadership is been question over and over again

Leadership has lost it favours from the menace of the public

Leadership is under pressure and the lick is licking

Leadership at such a time in turbulent time

A NATIONAL DEMON: CORRUPTION

Our dear motherland

Is been ravage by a national demon

As our fatherland is left that the mercy

Of this national demon

Day in day out

Year runs in and out

As dusk becomes dawn

Everything is weathering out

The storms cloud gather

Everyone is scared even afraid of dying

Our sacred land is polluted by the blood thirsty demon

A national demon everywhere in the land is there

Committing its atrocities of anything you can imagine

A national demon

Whose gonna save us

Who is going bear the touch of glory

Of when we emancipation walk in

To work out this national demon

Whose clergy man will conduct a national deliverance?

For this monster called the national demon

Whose fame has traveled far in all sectors of the nations?

Be it economic, politically, religious, education and corporate world

Who has eaten deep into the fabric of our system and manner in which we live

A national demon

A national demon is…Corruption, ill program reforms

Unresult oriented conference every now and then

Malpractice of every form be it examination or election malpractice

We must kill this national demon but it destroys our fatherland

Leaving our motherland wailing for her husband render her to window

We need David at such a time like this

…David that we go into welfare with Goliath

The Goliath of corruption, manslaughter, hate, deception

Covetousness, ill-reforms, the adversary of the state and nation

A WASTED UNTRUSTED LEADER

He was appointed when humility was is acquaintance

He was like by all because of his good character

Submissive and reserved apt to teach

Visionary ready to execute good program for all

A leader for all with a good listen ear and heart

Time flies when we are having fun

Years goes by with days fled off everyone

Is watching this leader of what we become of him

Headlong such a leader went on and follows on

Kept all his saying he said in the manifestos

Alas a time came

When is heart was lifted up

Pride set in he never realize

He was heading headlong for destruction

He forget the one who made can slew him any seconds, time and moment

He leader who was economical became wasteful

He leader who was humble took is tent with pride

He forsook humility as acquaintance

He was lost in wilderness of covetousness

He never remember how he started

He visited by the spirit of rebellion

Infected by the spirit of illicit act

Forsaken by the God that brought him thus far

He forsook Canaan for Egypt

A wasted untrusted leader he becomes

His heart was made as he rule in his own point of view

He shun every counsel to bring him back to the track

The track of trustfulness and avoiding big waste of the nation resources

Becoming a wasteful in managing the resources of the state

Untrusted with matters of the state of which he was called to serve

Consume by pride

Rejected the warnings of humility

Everything beginning to fall before his eyes

Yet he refuses to see he lost his sense of judgment

Consume by favourtisim not having a heart for others anymore

ARE YOU READY FOR LEADERSHIP?

So many want to be leader

But the question is are ready for leadership

Because leadership entails three words

Preparation, Visioning and Execution

Are ready? For leadership position

When preparation meets opportunity

The rest is history you cannot go into something

When you don’t have passion for what you do

To lead you have to be prepared

First thing is to know is not certificate

Develop once a person learns to know

He learns effortless…

Leaders are more focus on others then themselves

A leader should have a sense of leaders

What kind of leader do you want to be?

As you cannot just embark on a journey

You must be prepared and ready for such a journey

Because a journey you don’t prepare for will get you confuse

Prepare…acquire skills, learn all you can learn

Be acquainted with your passion of becoming a leader not unleader

Leadership is about navigating change

And change is constant

But people are afraid of change

Nothing is more difficult than the new order

Until you are ready for change that’s when you move on

A leader that has vision

Will go far in attaining his programs and agenda

For the people he is leading not just paper work agenda

But real life agenda that is been seen in the people and environment

A leader who fails to have vision will never finish strong

A leader must have foresight

To vision where is followers will be

In the next years to come must have

A strong foresight as that of an eagle

To see a far beyond problem but opportunity

In the midst of problems

Able to navigate through challenging times

In reaching to the point of standing tall after the storms

Vision is require for a leader to lead well inspite of anything

Visionary leader is a visioning in all aspect of the sector is leading

Execution

Draw a program execute a benefiting program

For the followers, masses and state

We must have a executable time frame program

As one execute of program and move to the next

Leadership is far beyond seating in the office 

But working to make thing work out

GRATEFUL

Twenty hours has just flew away

The dusk is here again

So much has happen in the course of the day

As night falls on today events has close down

And here you are home again

You left home full of zeal expectation

From the day with all your to do list in tact

Spelt out with each moment tasks

You come closing the deal with your today’s task

When the closure of the day came…wow you achieve it all

While won’t you be grateful

For these that has happen

Many saw the dawn of today

But weren’t able to see the dusk

They went with the day

They are now become history

Gone with the winds and time gone too soon

You reach for the peak you succeeded

You call this with your mouth it came forth

The ground yields her fruit for you

You went ahead close several business deals

You were wow all the way

You dust it all becoming a world class achiever

You look at the works of your hand as its speaks great result

You outshine your mates

Do you think is all by your making

My friend NO! God is involve

Be grateful to him for all these things

Live in gratitude to God alone

What are you grateful to God for? Think deeply

PLENTY DREAMS NO DRIVE

So many dreams in life

As we arrive bit by bit in this world

So many dreams were brought along in us all

With every ambition called in various fields of human existence

To harness the latent power of creativity

               

But what’s the point of creativity

Without a drive to fuel it on the journey

Of reaching that peak of achieving greatness

When the dream becomes reality

Where creativity meets great invention

Where innovation meets performance

In forefront of making the dream counts

But so many dreams are born but no drive

To stair it’s in the right direction

Plenty dreams no drive

I have a dream is not enough to voice it out

Barely to the time you just declare I have a dream

You are seen giving up on that dream few moments ago

What’s wrong…but what went wrong? We question ourselves

No passion…No drive

You weren’t driven anymore

You weren’t passionate again

You have misplaced the place of chasing that dream

Your zeal has wax cold passion burnt down

You lost the sight of that dream and is gone with the dawn

Don’t be that fellow who has plenty of dreams

And void of drive to fuel him for the journey ahead

The journey of making such a dream a reality

Have a drive that will drive you and keep driving you

When you are at the verge of giving up on that dream of yours

A HOME

When forgiveness is too hard to earn

And the pain of the offence committed lingered

The night is far from the dusk a home

Is not built on resentment and unforgiving lifestyle

A home is built on nothing less than love

If you well said then what is a home

A home is not a bricks of war

Where the war of words of hate and bitterness ensue

A home is not built to be manage endured in pain

Pain of abusive words slandered and cut off

If you well said then what is a home

A home is never an avenue

To molest and murder emotion

Making one living but a death corpse walking around

A home waiting to be buried and lost out

A home built on fairness equity and trust

A home where love exceeds hate

A home where sweet savour words are use

A home where there is contentment

A home where the crowd never mingle with the home affairs

Fairness is been seen in making judgments

Equity upholding the justice of judgment in absolute fairness

Trust so much never allow the third party to be a yardstick

Loving no matter the condition…no matter the weather

Words for every season ensue to uplift and encouraging words

Contentment to its fullest spot

Never living outside the jurisdiction of all sphere of life

Living in the means of what you have

Live for the moment as tomorrow welcomes great things

A home this should be how a home should

Built on God and follow God’s leading and will

Prayer the key strong factors that binds so strong

PETTINESS IN PURSUIT OF GREATNESS

Your destiny is greatness

Pettiness and greatness cannot occupy

The same space

 Don’t block destiny opportunities

From manifesting in your life because

You’re prioritizing minor issues

Greatness runs deep

But pettiness runs shallow and wide

Petty thinking is a fast moving carcinogen

That will spread itself over the greatness in you

And eat away at your potential for growth

Stop allowing minor thoughts to occupy your mind

They are not paying rent to reside there

Reserve your strength for the difficult matters

Of arriving at destiny there’s some stuff you just leave alone

You don’t fix every problem that comes across your radar

You don’t try to straighten out every dispute

That come before you don’t chase down every rumour

If people are gossiping about you let them talk

Because the people who are talking negatively about you don’t matter

Pettiness in pursuit of greatness

Great minds discuss ideas

Average mind discuss events

Small mind discuss people

You are the one who determines your thought

You are the one who determines issues that are worthy of your time

You have the power to push aside

Pettiness in pursuit of greatness

WHAT’S IMPORTANT FOR YOU

It’d miserable living someone else’s life

And it is downright suffocating

To live beneath your potential

There is no reward in achieving someone

Else’s plans for your life yet people will constantly

Try to stuck you into their agenda

Other people always have an opinion

About what you should do with your life

Your mother may think you should teach school

Because that’s a vocation that represents a steady paycheck

What’s important for you

Your father may nag you

About going to medical school

Because you earned good grades in science

Your best friend thinks you should open a day care

Because you’re good with children

Your grandmother tells you

To start a newspaper because you are a good writer

All of those vocations are great and the service

They give to humanity is quite valuable

The problem is that if the vocation is not reflective

Of your destiny it’s no good

Prioritize what’s important for you

To fulfill your dream set your priorities

For destiny and forget about what other people want for you

No matter how well meaning their intentions

Only you can have the vision for your life

So only you can determine

What’s important to getting there

Your priorities confirm where you’re headed

Because everything you do

Will be in support of your destination

FIND THE PATH

Find the path

What path where you born to find

Where are you now

To what direction is your life heading to

Are you out of the track or merely chasing shadow

Finding your path starts with

Where you are now

And where you want to be

Not where the society but you

Yes where you want to be

Sometimes as we go through life

We see people living but not existing

They mere exist without no mark

To attest that they are living

Find the path
