Why Why Why?

Father can you still hear me?
Are you there, can you still see?
For months I have been praying,
Yet nothing has been happening.
If only I have faith & believe,
You said I will ask & receive.
Is that a lie, I’m I being deceived?
Coz I have asked & have not received.
I thought you said you could do all things,
Why haven’t you done mine, is it my sins?
I cried to you mornings, afternoons & nights,
Can’t you see my tears from heaven’s heights?
Sorrow has become the meal I eat every day,
Tears have turned into the water I drink daily.
Why don’t you answer my prayers… why?



Child, it hurts me to see you cry,
I hear your voice over & over again,
In agony asking me, why… why… why?
Why I have left you with so much pain,
And doubting if my word is true or a lie.
But listen child; here is the truth of it all,
I’m not deaf, I hear you every time you call,
And I always speak to you right there,
But you are far too impatient to hear,
And listen to what I had to say to you.
How can I take control of your situation,
When you have refused to give me the space to?
Now all you need to do is to trust me & let go.
Just step aside & stay out of my way,
Then stand still to see my salvation this day.

Back Home

Just like the prodigal son that walked away,
And returned to his father empty.
I am returning to you again today,
As one who is remorseful and guilty.
Knowing I have nothing justifiable to say,
As I kneel before you broken, filthy and dirty.
I heard your voice telling to come back,
I refused then, but now I’m back, coz I lack.
I realize that without you I have no hope,
That is why I have come back home.



Just like that lost sheep,
I wandered away from your tender care,
To be lashed by life with a long whip,
In a wilderness of wild animals and scare.
I regretted ever walking away from you,
And I longed to find my way back to you.
I craved to return to my former place,
Where I once felt your love and embrace.
Right there and then, I heard that your lovely voice.
You found me and brought me back home to rejoice.



I am now a new and transformed person.
I have returned and learnt my lesson.
Therefore, I vow that now that I’m here,
Never again will I be going anywhere.
I am a testimony of one once gone astray,
But Thank God, I’m now back home to stay.
I am the story of one who was once lost,
But glory be to God that I have been found.
After been away from home for so long,
I’m so glad to be back home, where I belong.

My Twin

Even if I fall a seventh time,
Like the previous six, I’d still rise,
For I believe my falling isn’t a crime,
But I choose to see it as a little price,
A small price of the value of a dime,
And an opportunity creating sacrifice.
For as long as I don’t stay down but rise,
I know that I’d see success with my eyes.
Although the road is rough and tough,
Discouragement will never be enough,
To stop me from getting to my dream,
Even if it means me going the extreme.
I have no fear; I will surely get there,
The vision is clear, the destination is near.
There is no stopping me right now,
This is not mere words, it’s a vow.


NO! I will never give up,
I said NO! I will not even stop,
Until I make may way to the very top,
I prepared myself before now so I won’t flop,
As I move bravely on my way success-bound,
And step boldly, matching up to a higher ground,
As a soldier hoping to return with a victory sound.
I am determined and I set my eyes on the goal,
Even if to get there, I’d have to walk on hot coal,
I’d do it, not thinking about the hurting pain,
But instead, I’d be focused on the priceless gain.
Excelling in life is what is constantly on my mind,
And a man without vision is who they call blind.
Success and I, Put the walls of Jericho in-between,
I will still scale it over, just to reunite with my twin,
For my twin’s name is… S U C C E S S!

Jealous Lover

Got my mouth opened wide,
I can’t believe she had lied,
The one I chose to be my bride.
My heart broke and I quietly cried,
As I saw them seated side by side.
My emotions failed, even as much as I tried,
But the redness of my eyes I could not hide,
Although I had already gotten the tears dried.
How I’m I sure she isn’t taking me for a ride?
And how I’m I supposed to let this slide?



Look at them having so much fun,
Under the nice shade while it’s yet sunny,
I’m hiding here spying; getting burnt in the sun,
And watching them laugh together; this ain’t funny!
What in the world could they have been talking about?
I thought she said he was an old friend taking her out?
I’m gonna be right here waiting until they are done,
I seriously would have shot this criminal if I had gun.
I’m so upset; I can’t just wait for her to return,
And explain what that crook has been saying to Her.



I agree I’m a jealous lover, but It’s because I love her.
That’s why I won’t allow any other guy near her.
Who knows what the dude has on his corrupt mind,
Yet my Baby insists that he is innocent and kind.
Are you kidding me? “Innocent and Kind” my foot!
I’d take care of this once and for all from its root.
Look at his eyes; I think he loves my girl,
Hear the way he talks to her; can’t you tell?
Don’t come near my girl again if you love your mother,
Coz you don’t wanna mess with a jealous lover.
