This is a canvas of love and light to a complex world, a transformative force to aid a dilapidating society. It is interesting that love is used as a necessary tool that contribute significantly to our world. Shades of love was shed as light to areas that depicted darkness. Love, light to our world.

To her who's difficult to love and to him who finds love difficult


In the name of Love I speak,

It tastes like songs of sorrow on my lips,

You sing to the karma of bitterness, the genesis of everything sweet,

It becomes a chorus to the world, rhythm on everybody's hips.


This is a script I have read too many times,

How you give yourself to ruins too many times,

Again, and again and again, too many times,

This thing that doesn't have life takes breath out of you, too many times!


It is vanity to water flowers when the garden is a desert,

If the input is the output, how rich can this make a peasant?

What is true love when the truth has lost essence?

They didn't lose love, they only lost efforts,


To be found, first, you need to be lost,

Wear a skin that understands the skeletal system of love,

Every sign is a message, every message is a sign,

For this is the healing that refines time,


To whom it may concern,

Like water, see your reflection in the one you choose before you confine,

In the name of Love, I speak,

to her who's difficult to love and him who finds love difficult.



Butterflies


Butterflies in my belly, fill me to stupor,

Made in the Image of Olodumare,

may this beauty lead you to suitors,

Lead us not into temptations,

just tell us where they are,

we shall find our way there,

What a butterfly feeling in the atmosphere.


Butterflies in my heart,

Make me music like no other,

Let me dance to the sweet sounds of my lover,

My heart beats for you forever,

Let these undying beats beat me to death like Cain did to his brother,

Butterfly bliss, take me away from our country border.


Butterflies in my brain like a tumour,

True feelings, make it feel true when it's false like a rumour,

Make me smile, make me laugh,

then tell me how sensational is the sense of humour,


Butterflies in my eyes, that's the Apple of my eyes,

let me see the unseen, go easy on me, easy on the eyes,

Tell me lies and let it live long in my imagination like a dream,

Bring it to life, in my eyes, the reality is a win.


Butterflies in my head, I carry these feelings in my head,

Like a stretcher carries life, as a mother carries her child,

This inner child in outer space, playing to the obvious,

Prince charming with the regal grace, His highness is tremendous,

mine is contagious.


Butterflies in my mouth,

Let the beautiful feelings all out, let it all work out,

Speak to existence like prophecy,

let it rule over my thought process like monarchy,

every word is parody, every line is a dynasty.


Butterflies in my windpipe,

Let me breathe, I'm suffocating from this mystery called life,

Butterflies give me a new life,

like "look! I just married a trophy wife"


Butterflies all over my body,

Make me blossom to glory,

This is how to rewrite the story,

From hard to fall to how harder you fall,

Your essence changed the analogy,

Butterflies all over my body,

Somebody! Examine my anatomy,

This is a lot like love,

The light that shines in a world

where darkness is abode.



More love


We are like crumbs in a crumbling world,

Pieces look for peace,

The promising that lost a just course to promise land,

A broken promise who couldn't break up their fallow ground,

A dying desire disappearing into the eyes of the Heavens,

Love was in Hell and there was war in Heaven,


Hatred in our world, spreading itself like tentacles,

Reaching for its stars to pitch a tent at its pinnacle,

Love knows no bounds, and hate knows no boundary,


State of Chaos! State of Catastrophe! State of Emergency! United States of Anarchy!

This is the state of humanity,

What is sympathy when sorrow is joy making mockery,

Consuming like an infection, the weakness of others is energy,


The oppressed is vilified for standing against insanity,

Trying to get justice is next to trying to get nothing,

What is empathy when seeking favour is like looking for vanity?

How blessed is a society whose course of action fails peace and harmony?

Oppression is only a wound when it is seen in open eyes,

the unseen is swept under the carpet, carcass in closed casket,

case closed, case dismissed.

How hardship is going so hard with ease,

21st century poverty is beautiful birds to a dying tree,

Obese music till the fat lady sings.


The music is melancholy,

Listen to the tune of its catastrophe,

There's bread to feed the war but nothing to feed the poor,

The capitalist has a thirst for hunger so they scavenge on the hunger of the thirsty,

What is love when poverty is a weapon of mass destruction to destroy the masses,

What is love when the vineyard owners can't drink from their own chalice,

What is love when all we wage is war,

I guess love is blind, we couldn't see the eyesore,

What is love when they bring hate to your eyeballs,

I mean, what is love when classism is a school of hard knocks,

What's the place of love when we don't have a place for love,

When we don't have that space to show love,

As a people, there's nothing we need other than more love.


Let the love rain slow,

The importance of humanity is how every colour beautifies the rainbow,

Love works, it's not a race, it's a victory lap to freedom,

A breath away from peace of mind to mankind,

A light to the world in dark times.

For good,

Live a life of love,

A thing to hold, everything to behold,

As good as new, as good as gold,

Let a new world unfold,

Cause her beauty to be bold,

Send good tidings to her road,

Blessings of the old,

For good,

Let her light brighten up dark times,

Give her fortitude to walk away from borderline,

Bring sanity to her land, make her a fertile ground,

Save her from scavengers when she finds purpose,

Emancipate her from chokehold,

Let her breathe in bliss, send chaos back to its abyss,

Send down the new reign,

until showers of joy wash away the pain,

A new day has come, go into the glitters of a bright night,

Live a life of love,

for you and yours is light

to our world.


Do this for the sake of love, for good.

For better,

I choose peace from a pool full of pieces,

I take strength and give away weakness,

Everything that hides under hindrance,

Rather than decimating, I let the pen do the penance,

Write till arthritis finds joys in violence,

From pure love to pure decadence,

Dust your crown and put on your eminence,

Let your glory be evident,

Be the light, ignore the gloom like negligence,

For better, for worse is a feeling,

when our humanness is unwilling,

Unwilling to love, unable to bear the burden,

Unwilling to forgive when you're hurting,

unable to forget, the memory is poison,

Until you get understanding,

that not all that shines are diamonds,

Not every platter is platinum,

For better, exhale that thing that makes you bitter.


Do this for the sake of love, for better.


Z


For the best,

Choose what keeps you at rest,

What puts you first,

what makes you feel seen, feel heard, feel good, feels better,

for the best,

For the best, choose the best of life,

Self examination, put yourself under the knife,

Give yourself a thing that gives meaning to life,

Have fun, enjoy all the vanities of life,

Dare to dream, live the reality,

Be a blessing to humanity,

Satisfy your curiosity,

Walk down the aisle with prosperity,

For the best,

Choose what's best, soar to your peak and be at your best,

Be the light to places darkness dwells,

a heaven to look up to in times of hell,

a heart to give when it's hard to give,

Live a life of love,

for you and yours is light

to our world.


Do this for the sake of love, for the best.



Love is light to the world


I come from a place of Love,

Ile Ife, abode of our God,

ibiti ojumo tin mo, where lights shine above and beyond,

paradise of our pantheons, a place where strength

is numbers and every number is one,

Genesis of a revelation, before the great exodus,

the original immigration, the purge, the colonial extradition,

slave trade by barter, it's battery, took a nation out of a generation.


Stripped of their humanity, lost their faces, their identity,

In chains they sailed into a strange land, they battled to own a face like pageantry,

They fought the school of thought, they fought classism,

They fought the art of segregating colours, they fought racism,

A battle till eternity, perhaps there might live a story time that changes the narrative,


I come from a land of 2 rivers,

a place of greed, where 3 square meals is a

marathon my people find difficult to complete,

May I remind you that this place is not meant

to be a country, it was a company,

North and South amalgamated in order to boost the company's economy,

The idea of being a country was propaganda, it wasn't a proper agenda,

Green and white was never the vision,

I mean, how can 250 languages build a Tower of Babel in Niger Area and you don't expect division,

I mean, how can you expect 250 languages to make a single decision.

Truthfully speaking, I will be lying,

If all 250 ayes have it.


I come from a place of love,

When we have too much hate in our world,

We need ourselves, we need humanity,

Hatred is just love that misplaced its priorities,

Only if we can see

that the darkness within is just the little light that refused to shine,

Stray stars that refused to align,

But love is light,

and light is forever a blessing to a dark side,

a beacon of hope to dark times,

love is light,

and this light is forever a blessing to mankind,

Regardless of where we all come from,

a place of love should be the heart of mankind,

watchword to a dying world,

always remember,

a place of love is light to the world.
