Silver or gold, I have not
But a piece of my heart
I give to you
Through the movement of my hands
With the help of the the internet
That first encounter was meaningless
Yet, very meaningful
That first picture did not stick
But the same picture now engraved in my heart
Making my heart leap for joy always
It was meant to be one of those meetings
But turned out to be special meeting
Filled with ups and downs, then downs and ups
It was meant to be one of those meetings
But turned out to be a meeting with an Angel
Though this Angel is with a piece of my heart
I hope she can keep it well
So I won't be able to take it back
'Cos in keeping it, though painful
Is where my satisfaction is, telling me that I'm still with the Angel.
Dedicated to Damilola Owolabi, my very good friend who has shown to me that the best way to keep a friend is being sincere at all times, no matter how truthful it will be. Like I always tell you, I love you so much and will always do.

Where Are The Leaders?
The slogan where I come from says;
"Youths are leaders of tomorrow"
Though I don't agree in totality
Because youths must start leading from today
If they will lead successfully tomorrow
Where are the leaders?
Are they not the ones befriending the wind
When they are supposed to romance the peaceful stream
Won't the boat we are riding on capsize
If we call the wind's lover our leader?
Where are the leaders?
Are they not the one's crumbling under the load of a mattress,
What now happens when a log of wood is put on their heads?
Won't they bury us with their weakness
When small loads become very big in their eyes?
Where are the leaders?
Are they not the one's who have closed their hearts to learning,
When they know that knowledge is the principal thing?
Won't they chase wisdom away
When she comes calling?
Where are the leaders?
Are they not the one's cheating to pass exams
When they know they know they can pass if they study hard?
Won't they see stealing as normal
When the treasury of the nation is in their care?
I wonder where the leaders will come from
When the defending champions of these titles
Have nothing laudable to leave behind.
Even with all these, the true leaders will still arise
And I choose to be one who will be a change agent.
