THE BEAUTY OF YOUR NAME
THE COOLNESS OF YOUR VOICE
THE COLOUR OF YOUR SKIN
THE RHYTHM OF YOUR MUSIC
...

I have a dream that all tribes in Nigeria shall sit together and dine

at the warm table of brotherhood.
...

Because you've been faithful
I am indeed, grateful
Even though I have gone my own way
You are ever faithful anyway
...

In my imagination, freely I pen
She receives me, every now and then
Though a poet unnamed
With this pen, a poet is proclaimed
...

I STAND IN AWE OF A DIVINE BEING
WHO HAVE THE SUPREME POWER IN HIS HANDS
WHOSE LOVE IS BEYOND HUMAN IMAGINATION
WHOSE DAYS, NO ONE CAN NUMBER
...

Standing at a corner unseen to us,
with his dreadful club
what a busy creature he is.
Always watching our every steps
...

When the going gets tough

And your best friend fails you
...

I am hale and hearty

partying and smarty
...

Imagine a world without discrimination;
Where black and white speak of harmony
Where no mouth pronounces ‘segregation'
Where all sing only the hymn of unity
...
