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..

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...

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...

THE ROAD IS NEVER ALONE

I Spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and watch, my child— The road is never alone! Listen, he said, the road is never alone! Your joy is yours, and so is sadness, Listen carefully, he said, my child— The road is never alone, And so you never walk alone! The path is lonely, and the lane is dark, Your mind is filled With a lot of things you can't track, Still, you never walk alone. Dark skies like a blacked-out picture, Blowing like garments without cincture, Tripping your feet chasing the future, Bad news that keeps the soul injured; At times, happiness becomes a decoy, Deflecting attention like a wind-up toy, But sadness remains behind the smile, Mind shattering like a broken tile… But I spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and wa...
