Blind Son of Timaeus

Darkness once filled my world
Believing only what I smell and hear
Many are aware of my distresses
Yet many could barely bear

Left my juvenile court
To embrace the youthful arms I didn't see
In the open I sat daily
Waiting for the dime meant for me

In rags I am clothed
With crumbs I am fed
My bride hardly believes her sight
Wishing I was dead

Yet my little turtle dove
I sacrificed for her health
Forfeited my lamb for my daughter
Who sings my heart to melt

Though I haven't seen her
Her voice lingers in my head
I tried all to do for her
Yet couldn't make her cradle bed

Suicidal became my dearest friend
As fulfilment days drew near
Having achieving nothing big
Torrential judgment became my fear

As I walked down to my usual spot
I felt like any other day
Ambivalence clouds my mind
Wondering what next to say

Voices were noised abroad
Heralding an uncertain rain
What could this be I questioned
A familiar name heads my way

My adrenalin shot at desperation
My voice He heard finally
He sent for me and demanded
My request was granted gradually

Momma's Hand

I saw you hide your wrinkled hands
Behind your timid self called fear
I easily noticed the veins from those hands
Because they have always gave me care

I say it’s no disgrace
To have working hands like you
I wish I did all you did for me
I’d have hands like you too

The hands that has hauled down trees
And worked severely in God’s great earth
They’ve felt the bitterness in the cold
And warmed up those with cold hearth

They’ve touched the young in heart
And caressed the fevered head
With hands you’ve neatly carved
My cherished little cradle bed

They’ve scrubbed the kitchen floor
And done lots of dishes each day
They’ve guided orphans and prodigals
Who somehow had lost their way

Every year they’ve made Christmas gift
Accepted by friends with both hands
They don’t only care and guide
But has directed many to the promise land

They’ve worn bruises and blisters
And have many calluses to show
For all they’ve done for me and others
The tale speaks and everyone knows

So you see my dearest mother
Yours are the hands of love
And I bet the lord will easily notice
When he greets you up above

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind. Like they say “whatever the mind can conceive the heart can achieve”. Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become. Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image. You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition. Constant repetition carries conviction.

When you change your values you'll change your behaviour. Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.

You can become whatever you want to be. When you believe you can, then and only then you can.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, for time and chance happen to everyone. Take a second look at what appears to be someone's "good luck." You'll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking.

Opportunity is around you all the time, but you have to be ready for it. A Motivational speaker once said “I’ll rather be prepared for an opportunity and don’t get one than get one and not be prepared”. When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.

When you're prepared for opportunity, your chance for success is sure to come; for opportunity seldom come labelled. The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. Success and failure are alike – they are both product of consistent effort. The tide of opportunity comes to everyone.
Even to you.

Success Is A Choice

There are no age limits on when you can transform your life. Change is possible at any time. It is essential if you want to grow. You have control over your life. Success or failure is up to you. “Many live their life likea candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset but When the rain sets in…”. The truth is do you wish to live your life that way or change it with a positive ideology – “no matter what comes my way, I’m going all the way?” It’s a matter of choice – a product of your decision.

You control how lucky you are. You create your wealth with your effort. The doubts you'll experience along the way are part of life. Make a plan to attain your success and stick to it. Your life is a marathon, not a short sprint.

Accept total responsibility for your actions and remove "QUIT" from your vocabulary. Decide you want success and it can be yours. Success is always your choice.

The Real Me

I am an introvert artist
That carries his brush wherever he goes
Should there be a need to cover up
So the real me never shows

I’m always afraid to let it show
Because I’m scared what you might do
Friends had derided and said mean things
I’m afraid I might loose new friends and also you

I will for once paint a true picture
To show you alone the real true me
But I want you to try and understand
I need you to accept everything you see

So if you’ll be patient and close your eyes
I’ll take my time to paint it steady and slow
Please understand how much it hurts
For me to let the real me show

Now that I have painted myself uncovered
I feel naked, bare and cold
And if you still love me with all that you’ve seen
Then you are my friend pure as gold

I shall treasure this little picture of mine
Though, I hold it daily in my hand
I want to keep it firm and handy
In case I meet many that would understand

So please protect the image you’ve seen
And thanks for telling me true
But please let me keep this image
Until I am able to love myself too

Freedom! Freedom!! Freedom!!!

Many years has passed us by
Yet no sign of a coming liberation
Our burden increase daily
At dusk we dine with affliction

Our fathers’ toiled day in day out
To satisfy the obnoxious task masters
Our mothers kept the chaste line strong
Despite all the promiscuous dangers

Our young and gorgeous daughters
Are used for pleasure and satisfaction
While our young and mighty men of valour
Were mainly used to stop opposition

Babies are abundantly born
In bondage they age and fade away
The strong being made susceptible to the weak
Hopes and dreams die each passing day

Every night with prayers of faith
Wondering when this madness would end
But all we see is Judas among us
Trying daily to be our comfort and friend

Who will remember us
Who will hear our humble cry
In disguise we are benevolence
Sitting idle gazing to the empty sky

WHAT’S THE SIZE OF YOUR HEART?

It isn’t the size of your house
That matters so much at all
It’s the gentle and loving touch
That makes you great or small

Friends old or new come and go
From thy bond would always depart
Would judge it not by the style you show
But rather by the size of your heart

It isn’t the size of your intelligent
It isn’t the wealth you found
That will make you happy at the end
But how well you touched the lives around

For making money is not a hard task
And to live LIFE well is nothing but an art
But how people love you and regard you
Only depends on the size of your heart.

YOUR TRIALS AND SORROWS DEVELOP YOU

Trouble is the common denominator of living. It's the great equalizer of life. Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change – “Personal growth equates income.” All growth means change and change always involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown. All of your growth depends on activity. It only comes from continuous effort and struggle.

Life chips and pounds you to bring out your possibilities. She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride, humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame, and discipline you in a thousand different ways, if she can develop a little character - everything gives way to that. Remember this “impression management rules the world.”

Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, and fame is nothing. Who you become inside is everything. What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens.

IN THE MIDDLE OF DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY‏

You cannot have success without dealing with problems. Look for your opportunity in every difficulty instead of being paralyzed at the thought of difficulty in every opportunity. Each new experience brings with it the seed of your success. Even your current difficulties have within them opportunity. Like the Bible tells us that “…even the darkness shall be light to thee”

Welcome your problems as opportunities. Each moment is your greatest challenge and the best thing that ever happened to you; for opportunity seldom comes labeled.

The more difficult your problem, the greater the challenge in working it out. When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

A FRIEND TO ME

Thank God for you – good friend of my
Seldom is our friendship as that of time
How very much I often wish to be
As helpful as you’ve been to me

When I recall from time to time
How you’ve inspired this heart of mine
I find myself inclined to kneel and pray
That the good Lord should guide you all the way

So often at His throne of grace I stand
Your face I see at his right hand
And then instructively I bow to pray
“God bless my dearest friend today”

Someday, I hope with you I’ll stand
Before His throne – at his right hand
And say to you as my journey comes to end
“Praise God, You’ve been to me a dear friend”

EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

No one has a corner on success. Success is for everyone – anyone; whosoever that can pay the price for it, success is yours.

There is no easy road to success. You’ve got to work a great deal harder than most people to get it. Like many successful people would say – “do the things today others won’t do in order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have.” Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you. Hard work will accomplish results that last.

No matter what you want from life, you've got to give up something to get it. There is no success at bargain basement prices. You'll find that the highway to success is a toll road. Some say that OPPORTUNITY seldom comes labelled. Its true!

SUCCESS IS A DETERMINED ACTION AWAY

Foolish people with all their other thoughts, have this one too. They are always getting ready to live, but never living. Your success will start when you begin to pursue it. To reach your goal or to attain success, you don't need to know all the answers in advance.
You just need to have a clear idea of what your goal is.

Don't procrastinate when faced with difficult problems. Break your problems into parts, and handle one part at a time – “one day at a time”.

Develop tendencies toward taking action. You can make something happen right now. Divide your big plan into small steps and take that first step right away, everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were. Your big opportunity is where you are right now.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Take it.

Things We Miss

You ran through your entire years
Not stopping to enjoy each passing day
And you took every guy you met for granted
As you traveled your primitive way

As you faced pain and ardent sorrow
Something inside pulled you through
That something was private and special
Sent from heaven for such a one as you

You never stopped to measure
The good tidings you carelessly miss
And since the world never did slowed down
You always miss the good night kiss

And now your tender heart seems heavy
Filled with regrets and a great deal of pain
No one dares to console you
But I say – remember this once again

Remember those you took for granted
Because they were too young to be called thine
And the precious moments you never started
Were the tender and lovely kisses of mine,

OPPORTUNITY APPEARS WHEN YOU ARE READY

Chance is turned into good fortune by successful people. You are surrounded by all kinds of opportunity. Luck is being at the right place at the right time. Taking advantage of an opportunity is always under your control. When you are mentally prepared the right opportunity will present itself.

Talent alone won't make you successful. Neither will being at the right place at the right time unless you are ready. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Goodbye – Good night

She never said goodbye
And I really can’t phantom why
This is not her first time
Does it mean she isn’t mine?

They say she found someone new
A young dude from the Big Boys crew
But to me it doesn’t seem to matter
She is for me – I won’t look for another

Her memory can’t fade – I love her that much
I would still love her if only we keep in touch
But where she’s headed I don’t know
Guess I’m left to wonder on my own

The past I can’t seem too much to forget
The present is too much to neglect
Anytime I remember – I break down and cry
Because she left without saying GOODBYE

Vision Your Goals

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will go to work toward making your mental pictures come true. You have been given the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures inside your mind and to find them automatically printed in the outer world of your environment.

Picture yourself as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. What you see in your mind you can really have.

THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

The world is so constructed that if you wish to enjoy its pleasures, you must also endure its pains. Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other. Success is not measured by what you accomplish. It's measured by the opposition you encounter, and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds.

You'll find all things are difficult before they are easy. The greater your obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them. So, make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

No pain, no gain;
No thorns, no throne;
No cross, no crown.

My Special Friend

When I have no one to turn to

And I feel kind of low,

When there is no one to talk to

And nowhere pleasing enough to go

I search deep within myself

It is the love inside my heart

That lets me know you are there

Even though we are miles apart

A smile then appears upon my face

Then the sun begins to shine

I hear a voice, so soft and sweet

Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'

It may seem that I am alone

But I am never by myself at all.

Whenever I need you near

All I have to do is call

Your Friendship is really true

On that I can depend

I will always stand beside you

And will always be your friend

Through darkest hours and brighter days

You have always seen me through

You are my one and only

Perhaps I am one for you.

YOU CAN OPEN ANY DOOR WITH CONCENTRATION

The first law of SUCCESS is concentration. Bend all of your energies to one point, and go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left. Just like those guys that meditate and within seconds a candle can go off or on. Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. In time, you can become what you earnestly desire to be, if you set your face in the direction of the things you want and bring all your powers to bear towards its attainment.

When your physical and mental resources are focused, your power to solve problems multiplies tremendously. To do two things at once is to do neither. Success is the result of well directed energy. Just like a sniper who points its gun at a set target and waits patiently till it locks, where he pulls the trigger and down goes the target. Focus is the key to concentration whereas concentration leads to success.

Nothing can add more power to your life as much as concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Commitment

You are never given a wish without also being given the POWER to make it come true. And speaking of power, we find out one truth that by believing and receiving Jesus Christ we have received power to become the son of GOD. Son of GOD here is a son who’s Father “owns a Carmel on a thousand hills”, a son who’s Father owns everything and would withhold nothing good from him. So what are we complaining about or what do we want that we can’t get? All we need to do is to Dream.

The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you COMMIT yourself to it. If you have the desire, you have the power to attain it. An uncommitted life is not worth living, therefore we must be committed – whatever it takes, ignore the consequence, there is always light at the other end of the tunnel.

You can have ANYTHING you want in life if you will sacrifice EVERYTHING else for it. You must learn to work SMART other than HARD as many are doing. So, are you willing to sacrifice everything in order to gain everything?

Your dreams can come true if you pursue them with commitment. Focus on your goal long enough would give you the big picture clear than ever before. Like the BMW philosopher would say “Where there's a will, there's a way.”

Dream On!

If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself. Hold the image of yourself as you long to be, the image of what you long to attain, the image of health, efficiency and success. Reason? There are three things that are of great importance to all men and they include TIME – MONEY – HEALTH. If man can have these three things in a good proportion the poor would die less and the rich would struggle less.

You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will help you surmount the highest obstacles. High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation. What you see is what you get.

You'll become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration. The courage to follow your dreams is your first step toward destiny.You can live your dreams.

Same O'Gee

I’ve never being big in Lekki

Although I’ve been there a time or two

Playing locals was a great big deal

Now I’m on pro-league with the Adenuga’s and crew

Life indeed has a billion memories

My lips has a lot of good stories to tell

I’m just here doing my thing – hope you feel me

With my poems and lyrics – ones you love so well

From Victoria Island to A.J. Kingdom

All the way down Allen Avenue

Go tell the singles – married still searching

That the one and only OBIANO is coming through

Pass this message to friends and families

To turn all their mobile phones on

Then sit tight, relax and enjoy the attack

While I bring you great stuff and lots of fun

Don't Stop Dreaming

You don't have to buy from anyone.You don't have to work at any particular (white collar)job. Someone once gave the acronym of JOB to be Journey Of the Broke! You don't have to participate in any relationship. You can only chose. Life is a choice as well as decision. Decide within yourself to do the things today others are not willing to do in order to have tomorrow things others won't have. Choice!

You steer the course you chose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow, or in any distant time to come. You hold the tiller. With a positive mindset of being your own boss you are in control of your own LIFE, HEALTH and TIME which is the three most essential commodities to life.

You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it. It's always your next move that counts and not the first.
