Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua - Amopho Poems
When life bears you down
And your feet are heavy
When your heart is crushed
And the grinding relentless
...
I want no other reward
I want no other blessing
But to be found in your presence
In the smallest activities of life
...
This blessed moment of acquaintance
This unintentional but fateful meeting
A consoling presence, soothing breeze
This pleasant spirit, a newfound friend
...
Let me be to God
The fragrance of Christ
A sweet savor of His glory
A reflection of His character
...
A paragraph or a page
Cut out of a manuscript
A moment or a snapshot
An instant in a lifetime
...
The blossoming of new life
A spring garden of beauty
To prepare you to embrace
The season with freshness,
...
In the darkness that hovers
He seems like an unkind friend
But He knows all about me
And is acquainted with my life
...
Your presence my anticipation
Your infectious smile awaited
Now a generous sight to behold
An air of freshness and beauty
...
And beaten about to no avail
I yield my passions to you
My longing and desires amiss
And my passions misleading
...
The love that sought me
Found me in the murk
And by sovereign mercy
Dispensed grace on me
...
To live as a friend of the bridegroom
To seek to serve His interest not mine
To advance His cause behind the scenes
To work behind Him to serenade Him
...
The brightest physical moment
Of my mornings, your presence
I see you regally approaching
My heart warms-up snappily
...
A familiar beat in my heart
Pulsates with joyful melody
Reassures and encourages,
To urge me along this path
...
Lord, fill my life with your love
Wrap my heart with your passion
Let my soul sing your praises
Let my spirit savor your presence
...
Love is love
When in deed affirms
What in word avows
Without discontinuity
...
To the ends of the earth
Where dreams are conjured
Where friendship is born
Through the planes where life begins
...
Lord prod me often and always
Nudge a little bit stronger
Until my flaws are unveiled to me
Until I bow to you in acceptance
...
In the intimate hand of marital bliss
In the inner sanctum of divine ecstasy
Within this sacrosanct garden of love
Where pleasures abound night and day
...
This calling within, this burden,
That growls and beckons daily
To dreams or realms of vagary
And its path shunned by sureness
...
Your smile in this ambient grace
Her refulgence here sets aglow
While many still prefer to frown
To douse every flicker and glare
...
Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua - Amopho Biography
Dr. Oyekake Satty Joshua-Amopho. PEng (UK) , FSPE Engineer • Applied Computing Specialist • Strategist • Poet O. S. Joshua-Amopho, nicknamed Yoshi, is an engineer, applied computing specialist, researcher, and poet whose interdisciplinary career spans more than 35 years across telecommunications, enterprise IT architecture, sustainable network engineering, satellite systems, intellectual-property investigation, and the literary arts. His work integrates scientific precision with theological depth and creative insight. Dr. Joshua began his professional career in the plastics manufacturing industry (1980-1983) , working across three specialized facilities on Long Island, NY. At Georgia-Pacific in Farmingdale, using Monsanto materials, he performed resin mixing and compounding. At Continental Plastics, he specialized in color compounding for injection molding, producing exact pigment formulations. In Garden City, he worked in plastics extrusion, operating continuous-production systems. These experiences grounded him in materials science, engineering processes, and disciplined technical work. He entered the telecommunications field in the mid-1980s through Independent Network Systems (INS) and AD/SAT, companies within the Maxwell Communications Group that later merged under David Hilton. Working with C-band and KU-band satellite systems, he supported one of the fastest pre-Internet advertisement delivery platforms in the U.S. These foundational years funded both of his master's degrees and shaped his technical identity. Dr. Joshua later served at Lucent Technologies—Bell Labs Innovations, contributing to integrated network solution testing, broadband deployment engineering, standards and interoperability validation, and intellectual property investigations involving ATM and Frame Relay technologies. His work supported next-generation architectures and contributed to significant litigation outcomes. He is a co-author of two peer-reviewed conference proceedings: • Emerging Technologies Making a Business Case for Networking Convergence (ASCOMS/TELE-INFO/AEE '03, New York) • A Three-Prong Business Case Centered Approach to Sustainable Network Solutions (IMT Conference Proceedings, Orlando,2004) These papers emerged from his doctoral research and correctly anticipated the architectural foundations of today's converged networks, including multi-access integration, unified IP transport, and sustainable network engineering principles. Dr. Joshua holds a Doctorate in Computing and an MS in Telecommunications from Pace University; an MS in Information Systems and a BTech in Electromechanical Engineering from CUNY City College; and an AAS in Plastics & Mechanical Engineering Technology from SUNY Morrisville. He is a Professional Engineer (UK) and a Fellow of the Society of Professional Engineers (FSPE) . He currently serves as Senior Application Systems Analyst & IT Manager at Christ Church, leading enterprise IT modernization, cloud strategy, virtualization, cybersecurity, multi-campus networking, and integrated systems design. He is also a Technology Consultant for Pillar College, supporting academic technology transformation through LMS/SIS integration, VoIP modernization, and sustainable IT infrastructure. In addition to his technical and academic work, Dr. Joshua is a published poet. He has works published with The National and International Library of Poetry, received the Editor's Choice Award for his recorded collection Visions, and authored Friendship, Love and Pain (Vantage Press,1998) . Many of his poems appear on PoemHunter.com. His writing synthesizes engineering clarity with spiritual reflection and philosophical introspection, influenced by his engagement with Reformed Biblical Theology. Dr. Joshua's career stands at the intersection of engineering, scholarship, theology, and the literary imagination—an uncommon synthesis that shapes his leadership, teaching, and creative expression.)
The Best Poem Of Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua - Amopho
Being Crushed For Glory
When life bears you down
And your feet are heavy
When your heart is crushed
And the grinding relentless
How would you respond?
In your tearful warbling
In the tasking dale of life
Would you clutch to Him
In your bawling surrender
To reverberate His honor?
In your struggles and tears
Would your life extol Him?
In the depth of affliction
Would His praise ring out
And declare His goodness?
If the world maligns you
And if the hurt is intense
Keep in mind this truth
That out of that graveyard
Sprouts a glorious Easter lily

Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua - Amopho Quotes
Secondhand information are like corrupted files, you cannot trust them.
Facts are facts; they are no less factual because their proponents are your enemies.
Silenced truths benefit no one but the guilty, or the man with evil intentions.
He, who is hungry and has all kinds of comestibles, need not offer supplication, but only needs to give thanks and partake of the banquet!
Ah, but when the heart is inclined to sin, the mind will find justifications
Weigh your words wisely, once spoken, they cannot be unspoken; neither can your apology undo the damage done.
Get your point across without insults or disparagement
You can't solve a problem you don't understand
Doing is believing.
Too much youthful behavior makes juvenile an old man.
Chance is not chance but that which follows the dictates of the Most High, tacitly.
You do not pray for rain while it is raining!
They Say, go for Gold and if you miss it, you may get Silver. But I say, if you go too hard for Gold, you may miss Silver and Bronze also. So, pace yourself.
