SUNRISE TO SUNSET.

Just like a soft piano
Played by the pianist
On the keys of the keyboard
Each sounds so loud and hard of
Saturating the whole room.

That is how the early
The beginning of one’s life is
We come into this life
At the peak of our life
Radiating nothing but life so full to its fullest.

Our life moment was so good
That life is so beautiful at its starts
Little did we know that someday
The sunrise of our life we slide into
The sunset of our life when life is o’er.

And the curtain is drawn
The movie of our life comes to an end
As the music is placed on a period
The melodies cease to come forth
From the beautiful keys of the keyboard.

That produces the sounds of life
So sweet and smoothen the soul and mind
What a dawn from its sunrise to sunset
Our life becomes like a string that fades away
From the beautiful sounds of the keyboard.

When strikes by the keyboardist
As each key drops it sounds
Begins to fade away just like
The ear never heard of the sound anymore
Life is gone out of our bodies.

As the sunset is gone with the wind
And the sunrise of our life suddenly appear
After all has been said and done
Death comes calling at a time when the least expected
We move from the sunrise of our life into the sunset of life itself.

A TRIBUTE TO JIMMY CARTER

A century of grace a life so grand
A humble heart a steady hand
From peanut fields to the White House gate
You walked with purpose guided by fate
In all you finish well the race set before you.

A President yes but so much more
A servant of peace on every shore
You built with hope, where walls were torn
And sowed the seeds where dreams were born
You chase the dreams come hell hot water.

A voice for justice steadfast and true
Championing rights for me and you
With Habitat’s hands you built anew
Homes of love for those who grew
Making every heart to be at home.

Through trials faced you stood so tall
A symbol of service to one and all
Your faith shone bright your spirit pure
A legacy of love that will endure
Forever in on the sands of time.

Now rest dear Jimmy your work is done
A life well-lived, a race well-run
In Heaven’s arms may you find peace
Your light on Earth shall never cease
As your legacy will forever live on like a life.

DEATH IS CERTAIN.

No matter how long
Nor how short one live
The end of it all is death
Of which is the debt everyone owe
Death is certain.

At the end of life
No matter your status in life
You live life that one day
That life will be over
Only death is certain.

To all living things
Be it human, animal and plants
No one is debt free from death
And which are both living things will pay
This debt knowing fully that.

Death is certain
Young or old...king or ordinary
Rich or poor...influential or common man
One day death will visit
And ask from us what we owe him.

THE DAY YOU DIE.

All will be taken away from you
Your properties including materials and human
Your life will have been swept out of your nostril
Only your spirit and soul will go with you
The day you die

Only what’s done will last
And we live like a memory
Long in time for the ones you left behind
And for those who have come across your path
While you live but the day you die.

All will be lost
Your memory will be formatted out of you
Your name will live for a while least two years
Then after two years it will just be coming and going
On the sands of time and memory of the people, you left behind.

Little wonder it was said
That when you are here on earth
Live and make sure you live a life
Worthy of emulation
That time and event will remind you.

The day you die
All will be left in awe
Only your footprints
On the sands of time will be left behind
The day you die

All will die with you
Your life achievement
Your life ambitions, aspirations dreams and goal
Your chase for this and that
Only what will be left is the life you’ve lived.

AND THE CLOCK STILLED

Life runs so fast
When life starts having a meaning
Stars drop and fade out
Its lights dim when least expected
Someday the sound

Of the thick of the clock
Won't be heard anymore
The cock that crows at dawn
Has lost its voice on life sound
And the clock stilled

The person you see today
Won't be there tomorrow
Life happens and leaves us
With the pain of a lost loved one
The day is coming when the clock

Will stilled and life no matter
Happens anymore as life
Has passed by one like a shadow
That never follows us around anymore
For the clock has stilled.

Death comes unannounced
It breezes in and out of human
Everyone each one doesn’t
Know when nor how when life past
It leaves us with heartbroken in pieces.

DEATH

The great one
It has no relatives
Is no friend of anyone
Not to kill
…death
 
When it enters
A house of joy
It destabilizes it
…death
 
It entered into
A house of happiness
And makes it sour
Death flies without wind
…death
 
Death enters into a house
Without knocking
It comes into a house
At any point it likes
…death
 
It enters into a house
At the time the owner
Of the house keeps snoring
It draws out sword
When war has ended
 
It brings out truncheon
When battle ceases
It acts right in the presence
Of the house owner
While the house owner cannot do anything
 
The one
That is down to earth
And none question
Hmmm! The great messenger
That makes no mistake…death

THE DAY WE DIE

Our life flash before our eyes
Our deeds are been talked about
Our life now becomes headlines
On the street called life the road we have thread on
The day we die

What matters to us matters no more
Waited for so long building the dream
We long for achievement but all fades out
Walk from dawn to dust
The day we die

As mourners filled
The siren environment we’ve lived all our life
Different thought start springing out as words
From mortals mouth as their words fashion out
The kind of lifestyle we’ve live all along the day we die

What we seems to hold dare to our heart
Has been let loose to the cares of life
As we embark on the journey of celestialhood
In bid to get to meet our maker
What matters then is the only one life we had lived

We fade out like the mend of each movie scene
Mother earth bleeds in her heart as we bid the world farewell
Nature remember us in every ways she can
That we were here walk, breathe this air live a life
The day we die

Tomorrow may mean goodbye
We never know when nor how
But the main thing is the life we live
While we are still here with the breathe of life in us
The day we die

Mourners will gather
Friends and well wishers
Family they we held so much dare to us
Society and the world just watch on
Saying that saying this the day we die

GONE TOO SOON: TO A DEAD FRIEND

Fading away like the stars of the morning

Losing their light in the glorious sun

Thus will be past from this earth and its toiling

Only remembered by what we have done

You left this world at a glimpse of an eye

And you left soon like a candle in the wind you leave

You were here, will did have you with us and you have us with you

But a news broke the brokenness of the heart

When it came around that you took a bow

Exit the classroom environment

You’ve goon so soon too soon

And memory lives soon as dead silence

Engrave the whole school premises

The ones you left behind are lost in deep sorrowful thought

Your memories like a scene of movie

Flashes upon flashes came through every scene

The retina of my puppy eyes cut on it lense

Short sighted but death has taken long sighted

Countless of time I just can’t place or come to terms with it

Of what is life? Is this how flitting life is?

The one we see yesterday is no more gone for good today

Leaving with us that are alive lesson

To learn a lesson from to prepare for death

As no one knows when death will come knocking at our door

A life worth spending is a life live for Christ and His course

Are you living right should you die today

Is it well with your soul?

Are crucify nailing self to cross

Dead to sin alive unto God in righteousness                                                    

The best time to prepare for death is today

While it is call today live in eternity in view

Get the lamp ready for the midnight cry and be prepared to meet your God

Because tomorrow may mean goodbye

Will never know when nor how

When God calls us away our body is lie to dust

Tomorrow our soul may sigh

From beauty will left sleep by 

Oh then prepared sweet heavenly shore

Tomorrow may mean goodbye 

Rest in peace friend till we meet at His bosom of God your maker

Another Soldier’s Down

Sojourning into the land of celestial world

Hmm a star has just fallen

As coldness erupted the earth

The city wears a gloomy look

No stars in the sky makes all wonders why

Another soldier is down

On the faces of everyone

Was as cold as if it’s heating

The freezing point turning block

Heart rent in-twain shattered and empty

Broken from the new exist of a beloved one

Soldier is falling...heroes becomes history

Living the sands of human race mortals

Immortality suffice as mortals watch

A star has fallen, another soldier’s down

See them seating…sobbing

With painful heartache nu-cheerfulness

Looms the air and nothing to be done

As the soldier goes home…hmmm sobbing here and there

The world bids Far well

But only the works the solder has done lives on

The world stood aside that day

But the death of the solder

Never stops the activities of what is going on in the world

Life goes as normal only lesson should be learn

From the death of a loved ones and friends with family

Is for us to seat…considering our end

Of what it will be like when death comes

Calling on our attention only the life worth spent

Will be remembered well when that life has been long lived out

Another solder is down today, which is next on the line

Each as we live should always remember

That one day all we be over and amounting to nothing anymore

Of what kind of life we’ve lived is what we be remembered for

But here on earth and in the other side of eternity

Remember death is not a respecter of person.

When Death Comes

Life offers us different opportunity

To make life worth living and meaningful

Living out that life we crave for at all cost

Many squandered away that precious opportunity

Wasted and lost away to never replace anymore

As life keeps drifting away from them

They never know that time is ticking away

While they taught they have so many years ahead

The thought of tomorrow never sets into their mind

As each minute pass away no one to redeem it

As each has gone their way chasing an empty shadow

The day is still young while worrying of the dusk of the night

See long let be merry and eat in wantonness of just food and food

Tomorrow may never come just as they taught

They fail to see that they’ve got just only today to life for tomorrow

The future never in sight the view of wasting it only what they know

Of what use is time to them nothing

As their mates were busy working their hands to the bone

While others are busy burning the night candle

They are busy sleeping on the bed of laziness

Eating away the bread of idleness

Life is what you make out of it

Tomorrow may mean goodbye

What will the world remembers you for

A wasted aimless and no nothing life that you’ve lived

Or the best life that was worth living for

Tomorrow our soul may lie

From beauty will left sleep by

O soul then are you prepared sweet heavenly shore

Tomorrow may mean goodbye

Live a life that counts both for now and eternity

One day history will be made

One day the roll will be called up yonder

One day your name will be attached with ‘late’

And you are gone to never exist again

What will your days the world remember you for

Screwed and a used up body for God and mankind
