If I were you,
I will stop for once and ponder:
Where am I? Where am I going?
What am I taking away?
...

When thinking is limited
By loyalty, socio-cultural reality
And geophysical and political settings
Universal Truth tends to be tinted,
...

The carnage and wreckages on our roads
As epitomized by corpses, broken vehicles,
Broken limbs of men, women and children
And goods that will never reach their destinations
...

Desertification drives on
We must be very watchful
And above all, unhypocritical
As we sometimes do
...

When volcanoes erupt and
Their ashes upon us tumble down
Man is vulnerable to all odds
When thunder strikes and storms
...

Lord we have all sinned
And fallen short of your glory
Look with pity on us
And grant us forgiveness
...

Love is a race
Once we are born
We begin the race
To look for and run
...

If you love yourself,
If you love your family,
If you love your friends,
If you love your clan,
...

Wars are fought in the hearts of men and women
Wars last as long as the mind preparation in each camp
Surprise can beat even the strongest
The destructions in wars are equal to the nature of men's hearts
...

Yes, we have won the war
And taken away the booty
But can we count the environmental damage
The spiritual loss everywhere
...

My friend the General
Lost his generalship
When he went to sleep
And when he removed
...

He died standing
In a Banquet Hall
Waiting and wanting
More of what the world offers all
...

One is born free but everywhere he is in chains
So professes the Western sage
As a baby, they begin to drum in hard
The exclusive elements that isolate you
...

They have mixed everything up
So you have to look keenly
To see that nothing has changed
The word Christian was an insult
...

Soon classes will start in all the universities
And you will be called upon to apply yourself
To scholarship and moral rearmament
In this new fascinating world of education
...

Who is your best friend?
Mine is a good book
He makes me laugh and cry
With a joy that embellishes my soul
...

I feel good each time
I get a new book
A new book may
Not really be new
...

From dawn to dusk
You labour in the Lord's vineyard
To mould the young ones you keep
Many are the fruits you harvest
...

Statistics show that Christians
Have fought more wars than others
Christians have harmed more Christians
Than all the others pitted against Christians
...

Satan tempts you
To do what is in your
Power to do and achieve
Feats which you have the
