Edward Kofi Louis Poems

Of my labours and of my hardships,
Labouring day and night to make ends meet;
But i long to meet you face to face one day,
For i have my love to share with you.
...

Walk in order to please Yahweh!
For perilous times will come in the last days;
And it is better for you to get the records straight!
...

'This is Lagos'!
And you have to be very careful to learn from what you see,
For life over here is faster than Harlem in New York!
And it is faster than the bee as well.
...

Watery and lovely,
And the harder they come!
For it is like the sins of our past;
But, i depend on the sun to make up my money on this side of the river.
...

Be careful of what you do to him!
For this man is a Roman;
But i heard a voice calling my name,
And i turned and looked! !
...

Of what i have seen and heard in this world,
Rome was not built in a day;
And we have to carry our own loads that,
We may be able to meet up to the circumstances around us!
...

Brain, rain, train, drain, grain, strain;
Tell me if it touches your heart!
For it is better to marry than to burn in the lust of this world;
But every human being has his or her own individual gift from the Creator,
...
