BEFORE YOU VOTE TOMORROW.

 

Before tomorrow comes
When you stand in the face to face
With the ballot box starring at your face
Standing in a long queue to cast your vote
Remember the state of the nation
And those who brought us to this point in our nation

As our nation
Moves from the home where peace
Co-exist with harmony
Whose long before we know it
We lost the peace at home
And home never home again

As we become strangers
In our home as our motherland
That once flows in milk and honey
Is not been painted in blood RED the colour of an innocent soul
Killed and massacre during

The Endsars protest
The Owo massacre
When our brothers and sisters
Went to worship God and were killed
Right in the presence of their Maker

Before you vote tomorrow
Check your pocket and weigh
The money inside your pocket
Not that you don’t have money
But the ones who govern without feelings locked down all money

And money becomes a scarce commodity
Instead be a common commodity
That can be found everywhere we go
Just like the MTN slogan how do come to this point
Of legal tender is never legal tender as it becomes scarce

Before you vote tomorrow
Remember those in captivities
Of the bandit, kidnapper, and hostages
All because of our security network
Has a breach and its network has broken down.

QUESTIONS


That pops up on our mind
And transcends into our heart
As we sit all day thinking about it
And we carry it all along around within us
Questions that skip all events begging for answers
 
Answers to many events
That beclouded our existence
Of what will be and the many zillion ifs scenario
Things that aren’t not being in existence
But only exist in our subconsciousness
 
Even while we are so asleep
We are so alive our mind has shut down for the day
Yet our brain keeps going in circles
Of so many things of life drama
As each scene and episode fits into our present
 
Even though we sway off the thought
Of living in the now while our future is still afar
The present has to contend for attention
Because the future has stolen our attention from our present
Questions
 
Of what will be a day after tomorrow
Will life continue to be this way
Are we going to drift off from the shore
Or still be swimming in the midst of stormy sea
With its torrent and current waving so high above the sea level of life
 
Life serves us a hard knock
That knocks us so dead drop
Behind our backs are on the ground
As our shock absorber is broken
And hope of repair is far from emancipation
 
We ask questions
Questions that question our self believe
And faith in ourself as we are drifting
From courage and hope for a better tomorrow
While long we still have today

VIOLENCE HAS NO PLACE IN A DEMOCRATIC ELECTION.


For election to be credible
They must be free fair and peaceful
Everyone should be able to cast
Their vote peacefully and free from violence
Remember is an election not electwar
 
This is a national call
For peaceful expression of our views
Even though we don't agree on one candidate
The goal here is to have a violence-free election
Because in this we can really we are democrat.
 
We have waited so long for this day to come
So lets not go soiling our hands with violence
Let’s go with aim of having a peaceful show
Remember the election is not war but
For us all to come together to reason together
 
In choosing that group of people
That we go speak our mind
In the seat of power are the president and governors
Extending to the representative in the house of assembly
Violence has no place in a democratic election remember
 
If we must move the country forward
It starts in the period of electing
Credible leaders to fit into position
To serve our nation and her citizens
To the best of their best abilities
 
Will unanimously shun violence
Of any type be it verbal abuse or none verbal abuse
Vote buying and bullying of any kind
Hate speech that can stirrup anger
And remember there is life after the election

HOPE ON THE HORIZON FOR A BATTERED COUNTRY


The land is not thriving again
A lot is beclouding our existence
As citizens, state and nation 
We don’t know where to go
Nor who to trust like hope has left us

Forsaken us to our fate
As each man for himself 
God for us all watching from a distance 
We seek a new better country 
Where there is hope for everyone 

We are tired 
We have lost hope
The horizon is not clear again
Our country is in its state of it remain 
As the citizens hope on the horizon of a battered country

A better country that’s not far from here again
Even though hope has been dashed 
Withered away like a flower 
Scourged by the heat of the sun and we still
Hope on the horizon for a battered country

Who was milked and lotted so much from her
Who’s strength is failing her even 
When she is the giant of Africa 
Hope on the horizon still hoping
Even when we stand on a hill 
And yet our sight cannot sight hope afar

But rebirth is about to happen 
The sound of strong emancipation is about to happen
Things are about to change from the old status quo
An army or revolution is breaking out  
I am sure the season of rebirth is now for Nigeria. 

We dare not miss this moment in history!
As history got a date with our country
Our nation has been through a lot
Within the means of lots left 
We must all arise to save the remains of this great nation
Lift up your eyes Nigeria!!!! Your set time is Now!

A MAN IS HIS HEART


His thought shows
The kind of man he is
His ways define
His destination in life cos
As a man thinketh so he

From inside projects
To the outer space of what a man is
As is not judged by its cover
But from inside outflows
Springs of thought that gushes out

A man is his heart
From the points in which he sees
Things and view the same things
Our mind transcends our existence
The heart is the product of the man

From the heart of man
Is the abundance of his living
That prepares for the now and future
Setting him among fellow human
A man is his heart.
