Okyere
The price of wisdom is above rubies and,
He who is quick temperedacts foolishly;
But i am the food to the hungry always.
To my roots,
The evil will surely bow down before the righteous;
For i will share my love with you alone.
Oh Okyere, you need eight ounces of silver on my love;
Like Abraham and Isaac who stayed in Kiryah-Arba.
Come to me as well and,
Come and learn the muse of life;
For life itself is full of highways at times.

Zuph
Perfumers, cooks and bakers;
You are from Aphiah like Appiah to learn from my muse;
But life is like the missing donkeys at times.
Esau was a skillful hunter and,
Yaaqob was a quiet man who stayed among the tents;
But love at times is like the missing monkeys.
You are called Zuph on this love but,
The food in your sack is gone!
However, you don't need to give up in life.

A Fat Calf
Sarah was Abraham's niece,
And Abraham was Sarah's uncle;
Like a thousand pieces of silver to buy your love;
But love is all that makes the world go round.
Wherethere are pick pockets,
You don't find me there;
Because my lips are with the law!
You've stolen my wife and you say it is okay,
But wait until the party is over;
There you will learn more from life itself.
Of a tender and a fat calf,
This world is made of Ishmayl and Isaac;
Like butter and milk to my taste but,
A brick is for stone and the bitmen is for mortar.
Life is like a ram caught in a thicket by its horns,
And war is like a golden ring weighing a beka;
So you will walk in the nakedness of the shame of your theft!

Seeking Godly Wisdom
Receive The Word in your heart, and you'll give Wisdom her start,
In your conduct as you live this life, while you follow Jesus Christ,
This, if Wisdom you will treasure, indeed, she'll guide you forever,
Helping us on a path that's right; leading us to walk in God's Light.
With Wisdom's discerning heart, from The Lord you will not depart,
As her discernment comes your way, she will lead you day by day;
Seek out Wisdom as if silver, and through grace you shall find her,
Seeking her as hidden treasure, when found, she'll leave you never.
Through Wisdom one understands, where a Holy Lord God stands,
And exactly what God expects of us, as we follow The Lord Jesus,
By Wisdom, we know to fear The Lord, when His Word is explored,
As like silver is when we mine, we learn of God's Righteous design.
Wisdom, in a world like this, allows us know God's Righteousness,
His Righteous Judgment we can see, by God's Justice and Equity,
Wisdom puts us on a righteous path, leading far from God's wrath,
Saving God's own from evil men, and their ways God will condemn.
Godly Wisdom shall lead all of us, onto a path of God's Goodness,
Preserving us through all these days, while we lift to God the praise,
Who is the source of True Wisdom, leading men to God's Kingdom,
His Kingdom that's forever friend, where God's Wisdom has no end.

Provisions
Oil, wine and some fruits;
And to reassure your sweet love with my muse!
But i met you in am open field last night,
And i will look after you with my love.
Provisions and gifts,
In the open fields of love and care;
But i will surely deliver you with my love,
And like the muse of joy in the land of plenty.
Provisions, soon, son, sons, vision, visions, in, pin, poor!
And all around with the muse of your love;
But write down the words that i have spoken to you in a book,
For my joy is like the muse of the rainbow seen around.
Provisions, on, no, pros, sin, sins, ion, ions, is, in, pins!
But the life of a hunter is like the life of your muse;
And like the joy of your love as seen around,
Because i am ever ready to share my mind with you.

A Lovely Take
Today is the gift and tomorrow will be the talent,
Since yesterday was the birth of your muse on this love;
And i am about to make a switch to express y mind,
For money cannot buy my talent.
One warm afternoon with a lovely take,
And of this real world which is outside me;
But the poet of this poem is unknown by many!
And like riding a bicycle along side a car driver,
For the mind of the writer will surely touch the hearts of many.
Gold, cocoa, timber, bauxite, manganese and diamond!
And like a diplomatic gaffe in the midst of abundance;
But the fool is still hungry in the land of plenty.
This is like a paradigm shift but,
What went wrong with these resources?
And i better pilot my plane than riding a horse to your country.
This world is full of hopes and dreams,
And like the sweet fruits of success!
But my talent is of premium quality and,
Among the best in the world!
For righteous lips are the delight of kings.
Wisdom is better than gold,
Understanding is better than silver,
And knoledge is better than bronze!
But in all things, let us be very wise like the serpents.
A lovely take,
You will see and shine forth;
Because my love is always with you.
And like your outer self to your inner self so prepared.
Only the fools despise wisdom but,
Do not neglect the gift in you!
For it is like the storm and the whirlwind to others at times,
And i am very ld and full of years with my sweet mind towards you.

Elah
Abraham left all that he had to Isaac and,
Gifts to the sons of his concubines;
So try to give out more than to receive.
Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah,
And sixty years old when Esau and Yaaqob were born;
But the older shall serve the younger at all times and,
You must always give out than to receive.
Mahlon's widow,
Like Rachel and Leah;
Of the gnats on man and the dense swarms of flies;
But do the right thing always to gain the love of man.
Try to learn to give out always,
Try to teach and be very humble at all times,
For we are all on this earth to share with one another.

Sarah And Abraham
Play it exactly as he played,
Fish it exactly as he fished,
Fight it exactly as he fought,
Love it exactly as he loved,
Give it exactly as he gave,
Sell it exactly as he sold,
Buy it exactly as he bought,
Life must surely manifest itself one day;
And he rested on the seventh day and he had peace.
Keep your marriage according to the law because,
Love must surely take control in all things.
Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him ruler,
But we are all strangers and pilgrims on this earth;
And like the former times with your precious love.
To share with others and to conceive a seed,
But he who doubts is like the wave of the sea.

Betha Buah
The last i heard of you was in France,
And i do hope that you are still living over there.
Life is full of strings and you do need support always,
So try to do your best at all times;
For the muse of life is all about us.
Betha, I am the one you still have to remember;
For wisdom is better than silver and gold.

Wisdom
Wisdom is better than gold and,
Understanding is better than silver;
But he who is slow to anger is bether than a warrior!
Knowledge is better than bronze and,
It is like an invisible wall with a gate;
For i am in the innermost being to write this muse,
And you are intoxicated with the joy of my love.
I have the pleasant words to heal your bones but,
He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior!
And i will live all day and to love you.
Wheat, barley and love;
The head to the east and the legs to the west,
For a sound body needs a sound mind.
Wisdom lies with prudence and,
Wisdom is in the company of knowledge and intelligence!
But he who is quick-tempered acts foolishly.
A window to the north and the head to the south,
Of the merry heart that lights up the face;
But a wise man makes his father glad.

My Name
Does it make any difference? !
'Yes it does';
But at the end my people will know my name.
What's love got to do when my mind is out of this world?
But give me honey and molasses to build up mymind,
For you are thirsty for water and i am hungry for food!
Somebody should reply my letters because,
I am at the edge of the sword of your love!
And i do give you much respect with your hospitality as well.
Yahweh Nissi, Yahweh Shammah!
His Name is His Glory;
And i will always learn from His muse;
For peace and love matters to me and,
You will eat as much as you can with me.
Do not snore like a bull and eat like a tiger!
But learn along the road of life as much as you can;
For i am married to her who is in the forest of love,
And one day you will come to know my name.

Food On My Table
Come and see the food on my table,
For it is prepared for you and me;
And, i am waiting for you in the room of my love.
Life is full of surprises and i want to show you my love,
And here comes the sun of the morning to touch your heart;
For, it is right for you to be beside me at this table.

As soon as you receive my letter means that i love you;
For life is full of surprises and i want your love,
So come and let us share this food on my table.

Ratnakar
Blissful homes and blissful love,
The food that you ate matters to me;
And i am the one you are searching for,
But the muse of life is like your love.
He who increases the knowledge of the world increases sorrow,
But i am guiding my mind with the wisdom of your love;
And you are like my neighbour next door.
Ratnakar my neighbour is very nice and full of wisdom,
And wisdom excels folly as the light excels darkness!
But love builds up the home.
Blissful homes and blissful love,
Who plants a field and doesn't eat from it?
For i am from Papua New Guinea;
And like the days in 'Helen of Troy',
But i am here to show you my sincere love.

Revelations II
The revelations of your past,
And the number of deaths around you!
But try to learn like the ant,
For the muse of love is all that we need on this earth.
Nature oh nature! !
Who can control it as it occurs? !
And like the moon's light shining in the pool of love;
But try to learn like the ant.
I flow like aqua when it comes to love,
But it takes more than sex to have a sound relationship;
And the muse of love is that we need on this earth.
Love is sharingut not giving,
And gold cannot buy this type of love!
Because, life is one big road with lots of signs;
But try to learn like the ant.
In the throes of life,
Love is straight from the heart! !
And money cannot buy true love;
But try to learn like the ant around you.

Mr. And Mrs. James Akpan II
Of your spiritual inner-self,
Of my spiritual inner-self,
But, i am made among the people of this earth!
And, wisdom is my first priority;
However, Mrs. Akpan will still remember her words towards me on the day of the contract.
This muse of life is now being elevated with the peace of the mind,
These works of joy are now being seen among you all!
With the indications of love from my mind to influence you;
And like the road leading to the house of the royal elephant,
But, i am what i am today with the sweet muse of life.
Wisdom leads to great success! !
back in the days, and to remember this journey on the very hard road;
But, with the muse of my roots in mind to deliver my works,
However, i am what i am today with the sweet muse of life.
Peace and joy to the Akpan family whom i met some years ago in Lagos (Nigeria) !
For, my heart will always bring out peace and joy to all with my works;
And my mouth shall always speak out wisdom to teach many,
However, i am what i am today with much experiences in life.

Eyes Of Silver
Tom johnston
Eyes of silver hungry and aware
Eyes of silver, your mystic love I share
cause Im hungry baby
For the love you give away
Kick out all that stupid pride
Thats standin in my way
Inside my loving eyes are open wide
Eyes of silver, on which I shall rely
Diamonds are forever, and gold can make you lie
But your eyes of silver shine on, shine on
Blades of steel have helped a man to conquer all
Rubies by the hundreds fill the taj mahal
Eyes of silver, you tell me what I need
To bring this cold and lonely man
Down to his bended knees
Inside my lovin arms are open wide
For you eyes of silver
On which I shall rely
Diamonds and gold make you lie, lie, lie
But your eyes of silver, they shine on, shine on
Eyes of silver, baby, shine on, shine on
Baby, shining, yeah yeah, yeah, baby shining

Friendship
Friendship
Friendship is love,
Without friendship love means nothing!
Without friendship love is empty…
Without friendship love is boring...!
Friendship means sharing…
People learn to share from friendship,
Share everything they have in life,
Friendship is like stars,
Even though we always see them together
Always mean to each other…
But,
Sometimes they argue!
Friendship is like flower,
Soft but strong!
Friendship is like sun,
Bright and beautiful!
Friendship is everything in life,
Life without friendship is like life without air…
Life without friendship is like eats without food
And
Life without friendship is like body without soul…
Friendship is wide!
Anybody can be our friend,
Our parents, our grandparents, our sister, our brother and even our school principal!
Friendship….
Is everything!

Pull Out The Pin
Just as we hit the green,
Ive never been so happy to be alive.
Only seven miles behind
You could smell the child,
The smell of the front lines survival.
With my silver buddha
And my silver bullet,
(I pull the pin.)
You learn to ride the earth,
When youre living on your belly and the enemy are city-births.
Who need radar? we use scent.
They stink of the west, stink of sweat.
Stink of cologne and baccy, and all their yankee hash.
With my silver buddha
And my silver bullet,
(Im pulling on the pin,)
Ooh, I pull out, pull out the pin.
(pulling on the pin, oh...)
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
I love life!
I love life!
Ive seen the coat for me.
Ill track him til he drops,
Then Ill pop him one he wont see.
Hes big and pink, and not like me.
He sees no light.
He sees no reason for the fighting
With my silver buddha
And my silver bullet.
(Im pulling on the pin,)
Ooh, I pull out, pull out the pin.
(pulling on the pin, oh...)
I had not seen his face,
til Im only feet away
Unbeknown to my prey.
I look in american eyes.
I see little life,
See little wife.
Hes striking violence up in me.
With my silver buddha
And my silver bullet.
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
I love life!
I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
I love life!
I love life!

Today... 'Abraham's Seed
'God will provide, ' Abraham said
as Isaac to the altar was led
and there before them stood a ram
God's merciful provision for Abraham.
No ram was provided for You my lord
for You were the only Lamb of God.
Death on the cross would only do,
there would be no reprieve there for You.
You showed such obedience to God's plan
and great love was shown on earth to man.
Your death gives life to all You see
when they come to the cross at Calvary.
There was no other way.
For Abraham's Seed to pay.
All the way to Calvary You went
to pay my debt Your life was spent.
