COUNTING DOWN THE HOURS

Counting down the hours before I leave

Done working, placed it on a freeze

My time will come, this I believe

In God do I find relief.

I wonder how the world works sometimes

Perhaps if I wasn't so proud I'll be ahead some more

But I value respect a lot

And honour means a lot to me too

I took responsibility for when I was wrong

I could even write it in a song

But I wonder how the world works for real

How people rarely fight for truth

They say we're friends but no one cares

Actually some do

But when it gets real, some begin to forget

No one fights for you like you

But why should I fight when my talent speaks?

If that's not enough, what else will?

Want me to beg and coddle up to the goons?

I'll lose interest, it's gone too soon

It's hard for me to please myself

Be wanting things like this

Then I get it and find some holes in it

But what is real, I recognise

Yea, what is real, I recognise

And it's only real if it's mutual

Some play games and win the battle

But in the long run they lose the war

In a class behind the kids

Music blasting in my ears

God take away all my fears

Hoping for all the future brings

I did my best and stayed away

Some people don't care like they say

But God is there

He's always true.

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...

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 ...

MARY HAD SOME LITTLE WORDS

On this special day, I wanted to take a moment to send you my warmest birthday wishes. You have played such an incredible role in my life, and I can't express enough how grateful I am to have you as an elder brother figure. From the very beginning, you have been there for me, guiding me through life's ups and downs as only a true brother would. Your kindness, support, and unwavering presence have been a source of strength and inspiration for me, and for that, I want to thank you wholeheartedly. You have been a pillar of support for me. Your wisdom, guidance, and friendly advice have been invaluable, and I genuinely cherish the bond that we share. You have opened your heart and embraced our family, making our lives brighter and richer. Today, as we celebrate your birthday, I hope you know how much you mean to us. You have not only touched our lives with your love and care but have become an integral part of our family. Your generosity, sense of humor, and genuine character have...
