NUMBERS AND POWER

They said if you believe as one

Then the game is as good as won

I took this with me and wondered

Seeking, I became a wanderer

They said one head is inferior to a good two

I thought about this too

I made my brain a toolbox

I, myself working together

Have you seen power in the count of three?

How at the end the athletes go free?

As if their lives are on the line to retrieve

Alas, the taste of freedom

Three is power, perfection is a square of four

Those not against, with us they're for

May we be on guard that we may not fumble

And be regretfully trapped in our own bubble

Four is perfection, five is a star

How cocky we were as youngsters

A dark night is best when it's starry

A shooting star will leave you starstruck

(But life is not always one big party)

Five is a star, six is a circle

Things you find important, encircle

There's nothing in life as being too careful

After the sixth, they say you find heaven

The day of rest was called Seven

Set apart by God to serve Him

The years of a strong man is seventy

The say the number seven is heavenly

Seven is complete; eight is twice perfection

A circle that touches itself and starts anew

You marvel at the beauty and stroke up your chin

See as life is constantly being renewed..

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...

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...
