PLEASE HAVE MERCY, THEY ARE HUMANS! by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Just know they feel the same pain

Their dreams, wishes and plans the same

Don't let these treasures waste in vain

Innocent, guiltless as they came

They never violated God's or anyone's right

Fume and wail all they cry

If one could come to their plight

Then dreams and wishes sure to fly

One thing for sure would do a kind

A scissor away, love in sight

So they may have peace of mind

Then a future sure, tall and bright

Ever had this in mind

A decision made could be a killer or saviour

Think of giving the unborn, that which remains kind

With this you can do a favour.

GOD FIRST by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

No matter what,

Ever hold Him tight,

Gladly follow Him, to do what is right,

For your path, He will keep bright,

Even when darkness is on a fight to block your sight,

Remain strong and hold him tight

For He will ever help you on your fight

So that you may have a safe flight

Taking you to where you may give the world a true light.

BE GOOD IN GOOD by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Permit popularity to rest on positivity

Through genuine activity

For an unfading integrity and purity

That heart may receive divine beauty

Dazzling on that planned by the Almighty

To humanity, without penalty.

WHAT TRUE LOVE DOES by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

An unspoken language of love,

Ever sings melodiously and gently in a heart,

Gives unique melody to a soul,

Offers strength to a drained shoulder,

Drops healing to a bruised heart,

Gives solace to a desolated face,

Remains companion to a lonely one,

Brings peace and unity to a divided mind,

And keeps joy at every corner of the earth,

Oh! There is greater power in love,

In love, we find joy,

Just know that everyone needs love; Give it out.

REMEMBER! by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Remember

Simplicity shouldn’t be judged as stupidity or timidity,

Remember

The world without end, but we arrived not to ever live,

Remember

On a race we all stand to face, returning back to our eternal home.

OUR FEAR by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

This I think heads fear,

Death I think we fear,

Yes, we fear death

 For not have discovered her beneficial nature,

No, she is not wicked, she is kind,

Then, think of it,

Drop thy ear on thy chest,

So to understand better the language of thy heart

And listen wisely

To hear a humming  song from thy breath,

So, Meditation is a better solution to understand our existence. 

SHOW THY FACE by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

The beauty of heart surpasses all,

Nothing deceives heart than masked faces,

Nothing injures soul than a toxic tongue,

Now, there is nothing to be done, than

Striping the masked faces behind the stage

Before joining the earthly dance on the stage,

Where everyone is called to play a divinely given roles faithfully. 

HAPPINESS HEALS by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Why! Why!! Why!!!

Seems bitterness has crowned a heart,

Seems Joy is calling to depart,

But why! Do not know,

Not feel like being happy hence,

But keeping it for who to be inherited?

Do not really know!

Maybe keeping it for where life may eternally rest later,

Do not know,

But is the Where known

 And certain to be achieved?

Who knows!

Though, all must be justified at the last breath

When body will be kept to enjoy unending sleep,

Yes! That, I know,

But please, do not wait till the justification hour,

But hence be happy

 And truly live this life,

For Happiness is not expensive

It is affordable and intensive

Because All, poor and rich

Have given the gift to own the factory,

So, be happy,

Maintain your factory

And forget your ordeals,

Knowing that happiness is there to offer a healing.

NOTHING BUT CONTENTEDNESS by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Once thou keep living,

Hurdles of life inescapable remain living,

Thou often say;

Understandable remains the rhythm of life,

But have thou ever experienced the rhythm of death too?

Let us be contented on things we have,

Before dying and longing for what we have not,

For truth it remains to be,

knowing that

The world is beyond our conception,

Yes, it is,

Do not forget.

THINK OF IT by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Have you ever thought that,

Older we grow in age

Younger we become to our graves,

So, let us be humble

And faithfully play our roles while living,

 So to give polish to our true lives.

LOVING COMMUNITY by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

An organized and loving community
Is a healing and comforting home,
That offers relief on a wounded part,
Keeps water on a dried throat,
Applies oil on a dried lip,
And endlessly 
Keeps love at every doorpost of humans.

She Is A Lover by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

No creature can stop her arrival,

No one can avoid her precious gift,

Fear not to welcome her,

Be generous to offer her a seat,

But never forget to keep your hands clean while serving her,

Knowing that the Pure, she offers a nice place for a rest,

Yes, she is no one but Death.

LET US STAY ON THE RHYTHM by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Learn to love by loving

Ever show mercy and love before sacrifice

For love ever remains the Greatest,

Then, let us unmask our faces

And give true love to our neighbors,

For love forever generates from love

Just love for the sake of love

And never move away from her beautiful rhythm

For love ever remains love.

A Call To All by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Offer each day meditation

Remain focused and give life a meaning,

You need not to be a Passionist

Before meditating on the Passion of Christ,

Just permit each day to give birth to its meditation.

WHY NOT TELL HIM? by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Speak not to mumble

So that you may be heard well,

Ignore not to be humble

For the virtue is within you, not in a cell,

Hold your heart, not to crumble

So that the world may not be viewed as a hell

Trust in God, and you won’t stumble

For grace isn’t for sell.

God is always God

But don’t forget to reveal your pains before His Throne.

KNOW THY CROSS by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Ever think twice before thy cross,

Ever meditate before thy cross,

Closely examine every cross on thy shoulder,

For not every cross can lead to Calvary,

Then, know thy cross

For some may lead to hell.

BE VIRTUOUS by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

If pride may turn to be a virtue,
Please, I need not, 
keep it thyself,
If impurity may arrive to be seen as a gift,
I beg thee, 
come to me with none,
For I am contented with that I have,
Better appear decently on sackcloth
Than an expensive immodest attire,
Remember,
Thy value also lies on thy appearance,
Live not to imitate bad,
But allow good to be thy resting bed.
Yes, humbleness, simplicity and love
Must stand to guide us,
Not to join wrong chorus
Of a humming song.

MY TRUST by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Oh God! Thou ever remain my Best

Knowing that, Thou alone can save and grant my soul a rest,

Especially when the world is on a battle to offer my heart a test,

That head may be seen as uninvited guest,

Who arrived on earth with uncertain quest,

For that, O Lord! Please ever lead thy loving child from any tempest.
