ROAD TO SUCCESS

ROAD TO SUCCESS

Many sleepless nights

Just to win the fights

Required men of might

To scale the plight

The vision I caught

Many wars were fought

Many things bought

Ensuring no tort

Daring the devil

Overcoming every evil

The ground not level

Finally became a marvel

Going many places

Not minding the faces

Despite our different races

Securing our aces

ACCOUNTING

ACCOUNTING

Accounting my profession

The hope of many possessions

Often leads to obsession

If you are out of position

So many technicalities

With accompanying difficulties

Doesn’t have its own faculty

Down in our university

Changes always constant

Adaptations instant

Not meant for the infants

Nor for the tyrant

Lorry load of patience

A whole lot of diligence

Coupled with divine grace

A sure requirement for the race

WISDOM

WISDOM

The food of the wise

Comes with great price

What the fools despise

Not being enthused

It preserves kings

Wealth and peace it brings

How melodious it rings

In the ears of the king

It surely makes a way

Like the sea waves

Taking men from caves

Making them no more slaves

MY PASTORS

My life they have molded

My business they minded

Sleepless nights they’ve had

Success to ensure I had

Like a shepherd they led

Ensuring that I follow

Sacrifices they made

Even when the ground lay fallow

Words of wisdom they carry

To ensure there is no potential to bury

Making sure I forever tarry

To the dreams I carry

THE NOMAD

This is my story

A worthy place in history

A life filled with mystery

Without any misery

Starts a year in a location

Not knowing the destination

Never returns to the same position

Just to accomplish a mission

Like the Fulani

I visit many

Though not on a date

But on divine mandate

Many lives I have touched

My life many have touched

Was never reproached

Just because of the church

VISION

Your life’s mission

Comes through a vision

With adequate passion

Bringing it to completion

It all starts in the mind

Not considering the wind

Nor the ranting of the blind

Until the gold you find

Be prepared for distractions

Coupled with temptations

Even man-made obstructions

Defying all instructions

Though it looks strange

See the full range

Then turn each new page

As you await your wage

THE PICTURE

You are thinking of the globe

Yet there is not even a bulb

You seeing the light

But everyone around sees the fight

You dare to dream

Everybody only screams

The light so bright it beams

Yet for them it dims

You have to be positive

Where everything is negative

It is very imperative

That you remain imaginative

You see a future

Where you should feature

Ensure there is no mixture

Only remained focused to the picture

VOICES

Everything speaking

Everyone talking

Barrage of information

All contending for attention

Left at the valley of decision

Trying very hard for precision

A lot of voices not true

Yet trying very had to get through

The mind, the centre of attraction

The venue for all the action

Leading to various reactions

The mind with its doors

The eyes and ears

One’s life it bears

Be careful to what you open the door

THE DECISION

Knew it would be tough

The road very rough

The length not dwarf

Not yet at the wharf

The world in focus

Without any mucus

The globe the stage

Soon to become a sage

Only success to contend

No negativity entertained

Fears must be overcome

Worries placed as bygone

Comfort zone left behind

Previous success not in mind

Now pressing forward

Awaiting the full reward
