WITHOUT GODS (The agony of the forces I do not have control of, and the pains of the injustice of life)

If I were God, I will create another world

If I were the world, I will not be full of odds

If I were death, I will not give birth

If I were the grave, I will not harbour the brave

If I were mystery, I will fashion its mastery

If I were evil, I will kill the devil

If I were history, I will not tell my story

If I were daylight, I will not create night

If I were time, I will not manufacture nine

If I were pride, I will not own a bride

If I were pain, I will cease to reign

If I were reality, I will claim anonymity

If I were thought, I will spell my wrath

If I were the air, I will always be fair

If I were duty, I will function duly

If I were a leader, I will serve as a ladder

If I were justice, I will prove to be just

If I were the sun, I will not hurt or burn

If I were song, I will cleave to every tongue

If I were bondage, I will not hold any hostage

If I were nature, I will deny no man his future

If I were war, I will not be that brutal and raw

If I were sorrow, I will not strike like an arrow

If I were reason, I will act in and out of season

If I were question, I will not create tension

If I were fame, I will change my name

If I were failure, I will keep a limited tenure

If I were tribulation, I will invent jubilation

If I were life, I will give all a safe drive

If I were a woman, I will create a new man

If I were a man, I will recreate a woman

If I were beauty, I will not of any charges be found guilty

If I were poverty, I will vanish at puberty

If I were change, I will always update my age,Godwins Uge O&#39;Jnr (talk) 15:26, 9 May 2011 (UTC) I will alter not my image

POEM - A dancer of fortune
A DANCER OF FURTUNE

His advent, a rich brew Of joy, salvation and newsGodwins Uge O&#39;Jnr (talk) 15:36, 9 May 2011 (UTC) As consoling as the morning dew He appears not without his crew Not to destroy but build Many like cats began to mew Their fate they never knew Just out of the blue He proved his worth in lieu Many others joined the queue His charisma magnets like super glue The course of things began to take its due And everything has become new

Anieke and change are the same He helps the needy, the poor, the maim He is as generous as rain Scholarship is his middle name He never halts to count the gain Neither does he fight for fame He puts smiles on the faces of the lame The Ana whims and the hoi polloi are his main He is a crusader with flame As passionate as Rooney Wayne

He will nip in the bud exam malpractice And will never spare cultists

His best philosophy is, “where is the evidence?” To him, evidence cancels arguments

He’s allergic to eye service and pretence And a friend to diligence and excellence To those who are grammatically holy, he gave the license To pass unto grammatical sinners, death sentence

His one point agendum is, “I can do it” Its apogee was the birth of GO-University

He’s transmogrified the face of Ecumenical Everything is now digital

To those who have the privilege His mission is, “Unity of Knowledge”

He’s always on a go Couch potatoes are never his touch and go

He walks around the clock He’s indeed a chip of the old block

He does not keep a straight face To him such is beyond the pale

He’s always on cloud nine To every issue, he takes a beeline

He always beats the clock Because he cuts his coat according to his cloth

He fights with his back to the wall Because he sees himself a clock of the walk

He’s not hole and corner Thus, he hates those who cut corners

About his children, he has a finger in the pie As such, he never lets the sleeping dog lie For justice, he’s always in the firing line He has no nigger in the wood pile

He never buries his head in the sand He always looks like one who has an axe to grind Though he never ploughs the sand

He’s not a dark horse As such, he never backs a wrong horse

He gets caught up in the rat race He’s the horse mark for the race

He hits it off with no rocket scientists He’ll always cast in their teeth But a friend to those who have a ball at their feet

He’s such an unusual man for all his grist that comes his way Everyday to him is a red-lettered day

When he flew from Austria Back into his beloved Nigeria

He met it in a petty pickle But he has turned it bear and skittles

At first, he felt like a fish out of water But he was determined to put two and two together

He does not break a butterfly on a wheel He only engages himself in a fair and square deal

Though he has other fish to fry Yet other demands are met out of a clear sky Because he’s a man above par And always sets the Thames on fire

Dirty environment is a bolt in his escutcheon And against lazy students he has crossed the Rubicon

He’s always dressed up to the nines And he reads between the lines

He’s not high faluting He’s always against red-herring

He says nothing below the belt He keeps to his words

When he flew from Austria Into his beloved Nigeria He felt a pang of nostalgia

But as the man who plays the piper He was determined to alter He came, he saw, he conquered

He’s indeed a dancer of fortune Yes! He could dictate the tune

POEM - The memory we share!
THE MEMORY WE SHARE

A day ordained by the designer A day to glimpse at, many hunger A day with a brand new life’s chapter When one thinks education stress is over Without weighing the befalling danger Inherent in such thought hereafter That challenges wax stronger As a man grows higher For a man of character It is a time to sit at a corner And over your life ponder I have come to discover That life has many gutters But you can make things better If you are ready to alter For within you lies the answer

If you must conquer Things must go bitter But to be a world changer Indeed, an image-maker Be as brave as a soldier When I am with the thought especially this hour With damn reality that we shall part Am I still a dreamer? Whenever I recall the good times we had together Catering for the needs of the other It is hard to say goodbye

When in a place we gather Like sisters and brothers To share our experiences with one another When I recall that all these will not last forever My spirit, soul and body wither But my consolation and assurance One spirit binds us together One thing I discover That we shall live to remember That we had good times together With this, I become happier

As you go into the wider world of ours There are many tempters Make wisdom your attire And knowledge your power Never associate with mediocre Never be ruled by anger In pursuit of your heart’s desire Never get tired May the words of today serve as a re-energizer

In your good days, remember your Alma Mater And those who made you what and who you are I say for you a prayer You shall never be a beggar Neither shall you thirst nor hunger

In you, I see a lawyer In you, I see an engineer In you, I see a banker In you, I see a professor In you, I see a governor In you I see a senator Above all, in you I see a president You shall be a star

Nothing shall serve as a barrier To achieving your heart’s desire The Lord will butcher your destroyer Their plans He shall chatter At your sight they shall scatter Their intentions shall batter and blaster Nevertheless, your ways He shall butter Your path shall be threaded with fear and trembling by evil doers You shall move with an aura That will attract even a sinner You shall be like a blazing fire Unapproached by the killer You shall be like a life-wire Feared even by the vampire

My last words before I retire Go and inquire Whatever it might require To build an altar with a charisma that will never expire Always aspire To acquire Your desire Which you admire Do not retire Even when people conspire Because you have a God who will make their plans backfire

This is the message of the messiah Go and prosper It is well forever

Farewell! Farewell!! Farewell!!!

POEM - A day to remember
A DAY TO REMEMBER (MATRICULATION)

Today depicts a dream of many a night Today marks the beginning of the journey of a new life A day you’d sought to find A day with a beginning that is bright Whose starting point is the sky A day full of signs A day that defines hearts and minds

To some it’s a day to cry To others it’s a strange sight With a mask of strong might Yet it appears so kind

If I were you It’s a time to sit in my room To actually define my personhood That to make a footprint on the moon You need to go back to your root And identify yourself with its mood Then chart a course to give it a better look

In whatever you do Remember your mission in the school Learning should be your everyday tool Nurture it under your roof Because it’s your power to rule

Education is knowledge with proof To ignore it is to goof And such is done only by a fool With education, you learn to brook With education, you learn to be good With education, you escape the shackles of ignorance and doom Education does not make one a goon Neither does it give birth to a goose Rather, it teaches you to be the master of your hook

As I walked through my mind I discovered there was a time I’d had a course to cry Because I was not right

But the secret of one who’s wise Lies in what he has to pay as a prize Today reminds me of a secret I sought out from a file That it’s never a crime To continue to try And that those who never try, never rise And that if you must shine A part of you must cry As a result of what you have to sacrifice

As you celebrate this event today You need to meditate And indeed come to assimilate The fact that it’s not a mistake Neither is it your stake To be part of this date You therefore need to appreciate The one that allocates And at the time He deems appropriate Without judging your case

It’s a time to evaluate And as well articulate Your power to dominate For there lies your fate So that you don’t annihilate Your mission to elevate.
