SHEPHERDS BLEED

SHEPHERDS BLEED

 shepherds of God bleed
I notice a blade under their fabric
A pin under their toes
A fire under their pillow 
Tears under the rain
Fears under their bills

Is it for real?
Their lives appear like free
But it is all on their knees
For hours, for days
They can't even be in haste
Otherwise they can be in waste
Your lugages is on his head
His own lugged is handed in his hands

The sheep scatters
The shepherd eyes closed on his knees
His eyes open in searching HIS MIND
Only for his sheep to be found 
The sheep found, Shepherd goes on his knees
again for enquiry for the sheep
Shepherd never sleep
His phone never off

His brain calculates the equation 
I mean the equation to solve the situation 
His Sweat like flood
Ready to get him flooded away 
But he struggles often to gain stamina
Yet the sheep never worries
Instead he is expected to see vision, 
heal the sick and even raise the dead

Meanwhile, he is equally sick
Yet still waiting to hear for his sheep
His children hate his colar
Because it really taste like kolar

The sheep are the examiner
It is forbidden to show public tears
Any such attempt will scatter the sheep
Yet, while things are not well
His song is,it is well
And when finally well
The sheep jealous

A shepherd bleeds

LETTER TO THE NIGERIA YOUTH

Image
Angry Letter to the Nigerian Youth I am very angry and that is why I am addressing you. You are the source of my anger and I want to vent my spleen- maybe not at you directly- but at the arrogance of your ignorance. Of all nations of the world, you are to be most pitied. Do you still wonder what you have done? You don’t have an Ivy League education but with the little below-standard education you got, all you could do with it is to write a petition against someone with the benefit of an Ivy League education. You can’t even run your personal economy as you’re almost always and perpetually broke yet you arrogate to yourself superior knowledge about the nation’s economy. You sit in front of a computer and rant all day through social media but with every click, you make money- not for yourself- but for Mark Zuckerberg. With every megabyte of data you spend complaining and maligning, you make stupendous bucks for Etisalat, Glo and Airtel. Over the next two years, the numbe...

A PLEA FROM MY HEART

Image
A Plea from the Heart To my friends and family, I write with a heavy sigh, For in my ministry’s journey, your support has gone awry. I pour my soul into videos, Movies, books, and heartfelt spiritual songs, Yet your silence speaks loudly, as if my efforts are all wrong. You refuse to share, to like, to comment, or follow. Ignoring my calls, leaving my hopes hollow. I craft stories and messages with passion and care, But your praise halts at the covers design of both my books and movies, not venturing into the content. When I seek your financial aid, your assistance is denied, But if I were to die, my works would be amplified. You would print my books, watch my films, and share my videos You would follow my YouTube channels, as my spirit sleeps on All in the memory of a good man. Chai! YOU NO TRY! But I am alive now, with dreams burning bright, I ask for your support, not in death, but in life. Bless me with your clicks, your likes, and your shares, Subscribe to my channels...
