HATE STATE, LATE FATE

Image
You are religious & devoted to your faith. Though I wonder If this is just about fate. But then your breathe is filled with so much hate. You tell me we're family, Sorry, I can't relate. How did you bring yourself to this state. I walk on eggshells around you with bate. Ethnicity regardless, I thought we're mate. Spit fire, cause mayhem, irrational at any rate, Pained, Frustrated in despair and now irate, Clenched fist, grinding teeth as you vibrate, Your ethnicity and religion we try to appreciate Knowing we are first humans, this I like to reiterate. Then and only then from this hate emancipate. Can't tell me about love when hate you can't eradicate Talk is cheap so your actions we can't vindicate Must stop the hate so your faith can be up-to-date. Your hate is so deafening, I can't hear your faith. Your hate is so derailing, It shows me your fate. Your hate is so detailed, I see your true state. Your hate is so consistent, it...

A LETTER TO MY GAY FRIEND

Dear Gay Friend, As a human being I love you gay folks because you are humans and you were created in God's own image before the deviation from God's original plan.  Your pastors or bishops may deceive you but I am under oaths no to... I have never believed and would never believe anyone is or was born gay... Its a consequence of people given to their reprobate minds- Romans chapter 1... Its an expression of our rebellious heart towards God, because from the beginning it wasn't so.... Male and female (not male and male or female and female) created He them- Genesis 1vs 27. It's Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve. If you are gay, I love you as God's own child,  person and creation but the truth is you are living a lie and in sin. Remember you can do nothing against the truth but for the TRUTH! Get the truth out there.... you need help find it rather than justify the situation or deviation. It's not just a morale issue, its both psychological and spiritual.....

WHO TOOK MY TOYS?

Image
I grew up hippy like every young little boy Had many unending fun with my boys and toys Tried to be smart and threw in some coy. Foes and Friends brought me hurt and joy Failed and exhaled like fading washed soil My emotions protracted sometime with a coil I sought more attention from all as a Brat-spoil Two-faced like a flying, flapping, flipping coin I sought for soothing spots like a player's groin Forgot today will come without any ploy So I kept expecting I'll always have my toys Alas far gone are my days of being a boy The reality I never envisaged, stares plain and noir I simply can't decipher where to find my toys. Because I never knew who abruptly took my toys! Best of the class now like an insignificant soy Chant of glorification  halted with crucification hoys. Exasperated I quizzed, who took my toys? My hands now void of my toys is saddled with loys, To carve out any and everything but not my toys Same gestures that got me toys now gets me ...

… AND THE CROWD PAUSED

Image
Crowd Cheering and chanting with turbulent rhythm Passions and Prowess displayed like an intricate logarithm End to end display- success and counter successes Glory and Trophy up for grabs so they cared less The crowd spurred them to rise and defile humanity They showed fierce, thirst, desire for the glory of invincibility Almost mid way into the quest in a twinkle it all went dead quiet The Crowd paused… Paused at a scenery they never could predict They paused with gruesome fear of a fellow human lying lifeless Paused to help but could do little as they gaze helplessly powerless Suddenly it was no longer about self gratification or conquest, Its now about humanity, hope, faith, supplication and request, The Crowd paused; they did, not because they were exhausted, They pause not because the were vanquished or exasperated, They paused because Humanity prevailed above quest for grandeur Like the Crowd we all need to sometimes pause and look ...

FLAWS -FLAMES-FURY -FAITH

Image
Straight into the heart it pierces Coated with devastating venom Shattering hopes and faith into pieces Leaving humongous hole and a vacuum The limit of wailing has been exceeded Thought of redemption far not quite near Present situation exasperating and compounded Hope set ablaze in split second here and there Heart-quaking- Fist clinched Thoughts distorted-eyes dimed Furious with emotional thirst unquenched What kind of twinge is this –I queried ‘Keep faith...’ says the Preacher-man I have heard this sermonette often than required Yet this pills of pain I can no longer swallow like a man Is this fate...' Is all I can muster and enquired? Disappointments and treachery shows flaws Our dreams, Passion and hope may seem in flames These pains and hopelessness brings us to emotional Fury But to fate we cant resign…all we still got is FAITH Dedictated to all hearts that kept faith despite the burning flames, flaws and fury within. Written By Seth Ogungbemi Ju...

SIX HOURS, ONE FRIDAY: The Cross Story 2

Image
It was a Friday like no any other one A Friday that changes the course of all leaving none One that mixes wailing with winning; losing and gaining One that shows that despite the twilight the sun comes shinning A Friday where the loving father forsakes the beloved and only begotten son A Friday that changes the course of science and despising the rule of the sun. It gives us hope that what looks like an END might just be a BEND. That after night comes morning and that in a thief we can find a friend Six hours only on this Friday we heard a new story and saw many things occur Six consecutive hours on this Friday is how long He took him on the Roman cross Like the hope an anchor gives the captain of a ship in a ranging storm These six hours on this Friday gave hope beyond any form. From these six hours on this wonderful Friday we have much hope One this Friday we have above all three anchors in life with which we cope; Our life is not futile- futility Ours failures are no...

TWO SIDEs OF A COIN-

Tossed high above in the air with projectile force Flipping and spinning in the air in rhythmic mode Uncertainty in the mind of the awaiting and gazing eyes Plagued with equal plausibility and possibility Yet the tension is most often than not high With only either of two possible outcome nigh Head or tail- true or false-right or wrong. Without any choice an outcome will be reached. Attempt otherwise will be some sort of colossal failure The depths of this thoughts brings pain and gain- Tonnes of Salt poured to enrich an ocean- futility Ice wrapped and packaged to be sold to an Eskimo- implausibility Attempt to convert the pope from Catholicism – audacity Work and wages molted into a coin-inseparable The issue isn’t the outcome but in whose favour. We may not win always but in our loss we grow strong It may be victory today but defeat isn’t avoided yet. We rise to the zenith but a slip can make it go away Like two side of a coin so is victory and defeat on the same pa...

‘To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approves not-‘

‘To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approves not-‘ We have been on either side of this statement consciously or subconsciously, we have been subverted by someone’s action and other times we have subverted some other people by our own actions. Subversion –to coerce, rebel against, to cheat, to frustrate, intimidate or subject to a condition My thought is, before we cry fowl play lets check how often we have played fowl ourselves. Before we invoke this scripture in seeking Justice from He who disapproves of it, lets be sure we are on the right side of the law ourselves. ‘To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approves not’ -Lamentations 3 vs 36

GOD’S OWN CHAIN SUPERMARKET

Image
GOD’S OWN CHAIN SUPERMARKET Recently, I was inspired to write on the above subject by the synopsis from the sermon by Rev. Yomi Kasali. He was sharing from what he subjects-The Days of Elijah. With this , coupled with some of my own deep thoughts I came to a conclusion that ‘God now runs’ one of the most psychedelic, improved and well packaged chain supermarket, better still a business franchise with all kinds of stocks, stuff, services and goods on parade for any customer who cares to buy in… maybe I borrow the cliché KEY-IN. The likes of PARK ‘N’ SHOP, SHOPRITE, and NAPEX etc are being giving a run for their money. A competitor they are lest aware of, no thanks to the chameleonic or camouflaged nature of this new multi-faceted and spherical competitor. Strange as this may sound, yet it bugs the mind to know it is true and the franchise is being run by some of the best and gifted Orator cum Marketer to have graced the 21st century business platform. Dressed in well designed designer s...
