THE TOWER

We're all going up, striving for something,

A better house, better cars, better jobs...

But what really matters the most?

That is the billion dollar question, right?

Why do we do all of these, what is the end point?

We know the end though we don't know _when_ it comes,

But along the way, striving for these things, let us not forget those who love us, those who were there, those we laughed with, those we became stronger with,

This life is indeed vanity but what's more is what comes after our race, 

Will you be the winner of the race or the loser?

Eternity is longer than our mortality,

I can't not make it home after all I've been through here,

So with each floor I climb, I must never forget what lies beyond the top of the tower,

It's either I fall off,

Or I fly beyond,

So, dear reader, what will it be?

Want to fly with me?


From a flower in her garden,

    It's nice. We ought to live with eternity in view. Making sure that all we do is Spirit led and purpose driven.

A friend in an unlikely place.

Dedicated to Ajibola🌼  Quiet, modest, reserved– these are the words I would use to describe you.  We've known each other for five years, I remembered the first time I got to know you. It was at camp, at an hostel. It was a popular story building having a wide spaced compound. There were about four identical structures in that building. I had gone over there to see a mutual friend, and fellow departmental mate.  It was morning, my sister and I were both sitting outside, by a pole of some sort admiring the sky.  We were so surprised to see you but it was a pleasant surprise. We didn't know we would get to meet anyone else we knew here.  I think you even greeted us first.  You were different from what I had originally thought. This was around 200l. As opposed to being someone who liked to keep to themselves, you were easy to talk to. For the first time, I asked for your name and you told me, AJIBOLA.  I later got to know that other people know you by a d...

Far, far away (A song).

Dedicated to Phaserprime(Monijesu) ❤️ We live far away.  We're from far away. Now I know this land ain't mine.  This place ain't mine.  Were from far away. Now we're living as strangers, in a foreign land.  When will we go home? Everybody's telling me that I've overstayed my welcome, welcome. Even I know this ain't my home. I know that I'm from, far away.  Yeah. I'm from far away.

My Earth

JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER. My World, my Earth, my Home. Earth, how wounded you have become.  You've been bruised, burned, destroyed, maltreated, misunderstood. People, culture, race, colour, government, religion. You accommodate us all. You know you're dying, we're killing you. Are you now retaliation for all the ways we've wronged you, are you saying this is the end for us, for you? Is it time? Are you telling us goodbye? There was a time I would have begged you to live a bit longer but I want peace, joy, hope...love. I'm not sad to let you go Earth. Your time is almost up, our time is almost up. How I know? Just check the internet. Everything with a beginning has an end. You've lived a long time. ° ° ° ° ° So what do you guys think?🤗❤️ I wrote this some weeks ago, because I was unhappy with what was happening all around us. A lot has happened this year, we pray ...
