THE SONG OF TES

 Dear woman with a beautiful soul

What is it that ails you so?

I've searched for you in far places

Are you passing through some difficult stages?

She said: It's a long story I hardly can tell

But the road is long, said I, please do tell

Last time I saw you, I could tell

There was something wrong, so pray tell


And she uttered to me a parable

You see, I went hunting with a friend

To better our chances, we hunted the same

Indeed, we were fair hunters of game.


But things took a turn for the worse

I thought we were friends, whatever that was

She left the hunt and turned on me

Left the hunt and turned on me

Took the gun and turned on me

Used as bait, she turned on me

I became the hunted, it dawned on me..


My heart was full, it nearly burst!

My soul was grieved, it nearly burst!

Overflowing with pain, I nearly burst!

So I stayed away from Mount Zion

Finding solace in a dark room

God sees my heart, he knows I'm mad

I'll stay away, my heart is bad.


And I stayed away for two whole weeks

Went to church for a few more tweaks

God heard my cry and made me whole

My heart was lifted, I got a touch

Don't want to be angry anymore

Don't want to be in pain anymore

My God is faithful, he heard my cry

My heard is lifted, he heard me cry!


O, that God's people were not chameleons!

O, that they were as real as on Mount Zion!

But I'll keep my counsel to myself,

For at the end of days, the Lord knows his own..

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?

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...

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 ...
