AYOMIKUN (THE SONG OF JOY)

Lord, I'm down to my last kobo
I'm hungry; don't want to borrow
Lord, I'm sad but don't want to sorrow
Someone promised me some help tomorrow
But I don't want no man to be my hero
You're my helper, Lord, be my hero
I'm near the end, I'm at ground zero

The crowds are gone, I'm alone with self
My frown tells a story by itself
My strength is gone, I'm by myself
But where no man is, God is there himself

I had a Simon help share my cross
He shared my plight and walked with me
But God answered from the highest heavens
All I needed He did provide
In Him alone I do confide



This is my story, this is my song
What God provides, who can refuse?
This is my story, this is my song!
For what God provides, who can refuse?

My heart was drained and down to last penny
But the miracles of God, they last plenty
I'm no saint deserving all attention
But God is great, He always pays attention
O, God is good, he pays attention!

Sometimes, being friends seems a bit shallow
Bonds between people just a bit hollow
But praise to God, exalted, hallow
He showed me the price of ten sparrows
And showed I was worth more than a million stars
For he heard me from the highest heavens
And made my day a silent heaven..

TO KNOW I GOT YOU (WONDER WOMAN)

Omo, you dey make my heart dey beat Thinking of you, my mind dey sweet Like Chike I wan dey run to you Dem say life na suru But for you I be Eran Nuru I still smile when I think of you Revisit talks I had with you I dey bless God because of you Like which material he use make you? Not perfect but we need to be In case you're wondering, same applies for me But I know enough to not judge me Like I wouldn't want to judge me You're like a dream come true Everyday I wanna shout out to you You remind me of Queen Esther You're one great queen, remember! That mercy and dear compassion You are my friend, my dear companion Relating don't have to be romantic Forgive me my dear antics But it's good to know I've got you Someone brave and down-earth humble You no dey do gra gra, you no dey fumble See how freely I speak with you? Means the world to me, true! You're a woman but you are my bro And I respect you kindly, aburo.. ©el-iyanu, 7th of November, 2021. For a very...

IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO NOT KNOW HOW GREAT YOU ARE

Hello, and welcome to Haven Incorporated. This is the very first post minted in our press, and hopefully the continuation of something great. We hope you find value in this space and find it a place to stay. It's indeed a terrible thing to not know how great one is. Usually, we hear warnings to desist from pride and cease from arrogance, that pride goes before an unpleasant fall and humility comes before honour. But having a healthy sense of self and worth is not as emphasised. And I dare say, it's better to be proud than falsely humble! Just tonight, I saw a man who didn't know how great he was, and it pierced my heart to see him so. Maybe he knew, but only humbled himself for the moment, but I didn't think it necessary for him to have done so. But it's terrible to not know how great you are! It occurred to me that culture and tradition, perhaps, makes us stagnant and backwards in the face of progress. It is true that we learn great virtue and core valu...

THE LITTLE FAN

Blood on my hands, but it's only mine, Scratching the tissue while the blood flows out: The scars disappear before morning comes, No, for my sake, you won't catch me mourning storms! Job done, tissue discarded, What was the issue we all regarded? Won't catch me acting all retarded; Break up the group, you're all disbanded. I hope you aren't acting clever? Before you wound yourself forever. All that I am, I gave my blood, I went through a really difficult curve, So don't play me for the fool I'm not, Before you wound yourself for nought. Pain is my only companion, Sleep is a distant friend; Don't know what to do, Just want it to end. Moving out like tidal wave, Just want it to end. Asking myself the question, Who did I offend? For this pain, I can't compare. Sometimes I ask myself, why I'm the way I am, Then someone does something, And I remember why I chose to be this way 'Times I'm quickly angry I don't like being offended Especially...
