LOVE OF MONEY

I'm no longer anxious to get rich
In as much as I can get my wish
The love of money makes me look like a witch
Besides, the good things of life is at my reach

I don't want to put myself in an unecessary hardship
Though the rich has a large followership
As long as its God that I worship
I'm free from the devil's fellowship

Though I love to enjoy life
But no good thing comes without strife
Myself, my children and my wife
Have resolved to live as five

Henceforth, I will not be in pursuit of vanity
Love of money is vane, this is reality
Forsake lust, to live in tranquility
In order to avoid the world calamity

Now I'm satisfied and freed
Also blessed and save from greed
My way of life, my children can succeed
And my generation unborn can embrace what I decreed

EVERYBODY IS SPECIAL, NOBODY IS SPECIAL

Everybody is so special
I tell you because it is essential
To note that God has not made us artificial
I hope this is not controversial

God made man in his own image in the beginning
To rule over the bird and fishes till the ending
What an advantage we have been given from the starting
Indeed God is benevolent and caring

Despite our sins and atrocities
He always forgive us our iniquities
Though we raided town and cities
As wizards and witches

You aint supposed to look down the man at your right
This is not where to show your might
All that God made was good and bright
And we are all equal before Him, even as I write

Why should you look your fellow man with scorn
When all and sundry were adorn
By God almighty the first born
You are not special if I must horn

DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY


Don't get carried away
By the world's sway
Whether on street or on your way
Life is not a bed of roses, they say

I'm yet to find he who succeeds without hardwork
It's the survival of the fittest in New York
Even the birds also work hard, ask the hawk
Life is more than living like a duck

Don't get carried away, my brother
Though this is not an order
But I tell you, for you not to wonder
How your mates succeed beyond younder

Parties everywhere
How to get carried away is gotten there
Libraries nowhere
The secret of life, is written here

Party holders had pains you don't know
While you merry and don't grow
Life is too short to keep sleeping with hoe
Don't get carried away if I must shout like owl

Life should be lived with seriousness
Else, may be shortlived by carelessness
Because I have seen many die with senselessness
A life that could be prolonged with carefulness

COMPETE OR DIE

While I was young, I wanted to live with nature
And watch how I grow from miniature
Compete or die, this is what happen to the creature
Then I knew I won't live unless I compete in the nation

I am third, you are first, so I was taught in the primary
Prizes and gifts were given to him annually
The last weep and cry from the crowd angrilly
Life is a race, so it is actually

I got third class, he got first class
So he's the best person for the task
This is what we were meant to know in the university at last
That the top eat gold and the bottom eat the grass

We are all caught up in this rat race
Life is full of competition from cradle to grave
Compete and win, let this be your aim
And you will be the world's aid

GOOD NAME
A good name is better than silver or gold
That is what we have been told
Since the days of old
Till now, the saying is still bold

I will not let anyone drag my name through the mud
Neither will I allow my name to be given to a dog
I will stand out against all odd
Because my greatness is already in the blood

Mr Lagbaja is my name
It doesn't matter if I am lame
As long as its high places that I aim
You and I are not the same

My name is good and not bad
It doesn't matter if I am bald
My surname, I inherited from my dad
The name, was all I had
