KAYLEB, MY DEAR FRIEND

We knew each other before time began,

We fantasized about changing the world as angels sang us lullaby with chocolates.

We raced to the river Euphrates with squirrels as Adam gave the scores 

Basically, our friendship was ordained.

You're devoted to my dreams,

And always gave me reason to hang on.

We get to a dead end, but your attitude brightens the road.

You're not interested in what I can give you,

Just mere devotion to the purpose we both were meant to do.

All this dreams and hope we shared on chat

The wrongs we wanna make right

And the hope that lay in our rims

Would soon come to reality.

Friendship ain't about transaction

It's not a business

It's about what they can give

But about creating memories and making life worth living.

Be a good friend like dear kayleb.

Chryss

LETS BE FATHERS

Woke up from coziness at 16years old o'clock.

To a breakfast with spiced responsibility

Juiced with selflessness and sacrifices

To keep the family's stomach healthy.

Trained to see beyond the pillow talk

Deep down into the mysteries of dream

Trained to see beyond living

Deep down into the mysteries of life 

Fathers are symbol of hope

They are builders

They are not just tools for making babies

But entities that create a better future

So if you be a young man,

Aiming to be a father,

It's not all about owning a peanut

But, building a future for our predecessors.

Chryss

WHENEVER

Whenever bad voices show up

Telling you how your status quo

Is lagging behind your ideal personality ethics

And how your passion ethics is only a reverie.

Just open your window

Behold the vastness and freedom the sky flaunts

And say to yourself

As free as the heaven is, so am I to create the world I wanna live in.

We have the power to create our world

Show up daily, be consistent

Don't rush and don't quit

Cos a mansion is incoming.

Chryss.

LIVE LEARN AND LOVE

Having Instagramable pictures,

Super duper cool partner

Riveting features, shapes and beauty;

Ain't worth living for, you get bored with em' all

Learning to live

Learning to be a better learner

Learning to love

Makes life better, sweeter and happier.

Chryss.

WE ALL SUFFER

We all suffer, we fight our demons secretly.

We tend to find pleasure condemning others.

Condemned persons, gives us hope and pleasure

We think we are unique in our sufferings.

Our high expectations make us depressed when they fail

Because we are human...

Let's face our humanity,

Let the truth be told

No one is good; except the father of creation

No one is flawless

We are flawed beings, 

So, let's love and accept each other, cos

We all suffer!

IF ONLY, JUST IF ONLY

It all started as an imagination

Then it became a dream

And soon grew to become a responsibility

A reason to hope and live.

Suddenly, flaws showed up

It kept me in bed when I should be up

It made me abuse what I should cherish

It blinded me from opportunities.

Truly, I wanna effect a change

Make life better for my countrymen

Go global grooming God's gospel,

Till all humanity see the wisdom in him

But,

Here I am wishing I could be replaced

I am not fit to do all I wanna do

I wanna wake up and have those dreams no more

So I wouldn't feel like a failure if I didn't do em'

He said:

The only option you've got is to stay up

It doesn't matter how many times you fall

But, your willingness to stand and keep trying

Is all I need to make you the hero you desire.

No matter how strong your flaws are

I am stronger, 

No matter how drenched in sin you be

My blood cleanses best when the stains are darkest.

Chryss

SOMETHING TO DIE FOR

So,

I went on to study

Studying the mistakes of my ancestors

Trying my hardest to avoid taking their path.

But, 

It turns out that;

The more I run away from making mistakes,

The more stupid I become.

Hitherto,

There be treasures to gain in mistakes

It makes us wiser

We should learn from the mistakes of the fathers

Not to avoid it, but to know what to do

When we fall.

Nonetheless,

If you've got something to die for

Or someone to die for

If you've got a dream to die for

Or a passion to die for

Be ready to make mistakes

Don't fret, learn character

Don't cry, be joyous

It's all part of growth.

TOO SAD TO CRY

She had dreams,

Dreams to build a home.

She had hope,

Hope for a better future.

You had dreams

Dreams to exploit and defile her

You had hope,

Hope she won't give you a fight

She walked the street happily

As she flaunt her purity.

You lurk privy with lust

Waiting on when to jump in.

She resisted, you persisted

She gave up, you popped in.

You moaned, she groaned

It ended for you, but the pain started for her.

Women ain't sex objects

Men shouldn't be predators

Women are love in its purest form

Men should protect and not devour them

Say no to rape

You are not an ape

Show the Agape

So love should take a new shape.

Chryss.

I WANT TO BE ABLE

Dear Father

I want to be able to be strong

And live the dreams you laid in my heart.

Every night, 

I sleep on the bed of planning and ambition,

But wake up to see my flaws looking and grinning as my responsibilities hang on the hanger of procrastination.

Dear Father, 

I want to be able to be a good learner,

Every day, I walk the streets of humanity

I see their longing for your intervention

But I come home daily to sit on a couch of distorted thoughts

Juxtaposing my desire to learn with the pleasantness of being the way I am

Dear father

If you be there

Save me from here

So I'd be useful here.

Chryss

JUST A SHORT STORY...

The closer I am to having her,

The more scared I am of losing her.

Because, I figured out I haven't worked on me enough to give her the life she deserves.

How I wished I spent time fruitfully whilst waiting.

Now I realised I'm half a man who found love, but ain't qualified for it

You might call it grace,

But I call it "not being fruitful in time with time"

Be fruitful, spend time wisely cos you never know when your opportunity meets your preparation.

Chryss.

IN LOVE WITH WORDS

It's you, tis always you

Making my heart go ho ho ho

If I'm ever gonna fall in love, twill be you

You make my mind go po po po.

My imagination swims in your cistern

As I imbibe images, mysteries

Rest and fantasies 

All I desire, it's found with you.

Just coil to a corner

And enjoy the nuptial flight with you

As we make babies in the ideology of humanity

In words and with words my empire would be built.

As monastery to a monk

As a nunnery to a Nun

As rifle to a soldier

So are words to a creator..

Use em affectionately

Chryss

THANK GOD FOR HELL

No chance to get it right again

But to eternally be themselves

Where desires is the torturer

And regret ignites the flame 

Due to its horror

Folks wanna live right

And explore the goodies of being humane

If there be no hell,

Would you be good?

Would you give to the poor?

Would you be en route righteousness?

The fear of hell made man wanna be righteous,

Thank God for hell.

About the book

Imagine spending two months in the same room with: Dummy dammy, hustler Nathaniel, breakup artist Tolu, arguer Mofe, Imam Ismael and Mr perfect Franklin.

 

Qua-me-tine is a comic story about how these six black students spent the two month lockdown in kharkov, Ukraine.

Searching for dates online, musing on lame startups and arguing. What more can I say? Just read and laugh.

Twill all be gone

tmight be pretty awful to sit awful to sit home all day, looking at the responsibilities that looms and the limited sources to tackle it. 

everyone might be so glumed, cursing and dejected... this ain't the end of the world; better things are on the way; let us just stay put with God and be ready for the opportunities he'd pour our way

we all shall smile again and would talk about this depression on a rollercoaster of joy and unimaginable ecstasy

Chryss

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU

We have beautiful dreams,

So we seek a push.

We have an ideal personality

So we need a leader

Some have learnt how to push 'emselves

Some seek external forces push em

Some seek the supernatural push em

Some have mastered the rudiment of self believe

In your quest to find motivation

Never leave your dreams unfulfilled.

In your quest  to fulfil dreams

Never lose sight of goodliness.

Chryss.

AFTER THE LOCKDOWN

Happiness would be defined, 

Not based on material acquisitions

But internal disposition.

Folks would realise,

Being happy is a daily choice

A choice to remain calm and hopeful

Even when trouble looms

Folks would let chunks of dreams go,

Cos they spent enough time with themselves

To realise what truly matter to them.

BODY I DESIRE, CHARACTER I LOVE.

Swiping left and right till we be matched

Checking the bio to discern the match.

It all starts with hello and oh, she's not the one

Then we go on swiping.

Headed for the streets to find the one,

Checking her features to see our desires

Then it starts with hello and then, I don't really like her personality

Headed for the club when we feel so bored,

Looking for the night's thing

The desires satisfied, but the soul is empty

Don't be an egomaniacal narcissist

Sometimes, the person you want might not be in the body you desire.

It's not all about getting all your desires in life

It's about having a teammate, with whom you fulfil a purpose on earth.

Don't live to always get,

Live to give

In it, you'll have more pleasure than you've ever desired

Chryss.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALVATION

Just as the world left its habitation
To feast on the scrumbs of perversion
The beings of the heavenlies were dismayed at the choice. 

Though He made us in his image
To think and act like him
But we went off to wander with self
And left void the hollow of sonship's billows. 

The man of God has to come forth
And feed us with the milk of the word
And to make the world fun
With the light of His word and the blood from His love

When we came to end of self

Grace showed up,

So that if we be wise,

We'd follow the ways of the Father.

Happy Easter people

Chryss.

WHERE MY TREASURES AT?

The earth is beautiful and Rich

Its treasures can feed the world for a zillion years

Its creative potential is endless

And its power to ruin and corrupt is huge.

Fathers build wealth, children sustains

Just like an endless cycle, we keep moving.

Searching, creating, inventing; twill never end.

What we call huge, would be starter for the next generation.

All that be under the sun is vague and meaningless; just as a wise man once said

Why stock up vague substance?

Why kill for vanity?

Earth's main treasure is human

Make the world a better place by investing in them.

Though they be stupid, wicked, braggarts and more

But, that doesn't hide their beauty and efficacy

As you grow and flow

Invest in humanity

In that, you'll be wealthy and happy

And stocked up an everlasting treasure

Chryss.

AVOID DISTRACTIONS

Avoid distractions, 

avoid  temptations,

They could bring destruction,

and more failure

Therefore,

do not be afraid about what you're gonna face...

you can cross the lane

but you have to pass through pain

 

Therefore, let us caution

all our methods

and then move on

to our destinations

Iddie.

STAY TUNED

Life is a stadium

And we are the players

The creator is the coach

And fear is our opponent.

We all play our part and wings

In respect to what the creator says

The best players work harder off and on the pitch

And the worst are often smugs and complacent

Learn new things everyday

Mind how you sell yourself

Improve yourself 

And learn how to play your wing better

Conquer the fear that weighs you down

And strive to better your Wiz

You can go undercover without an alibi

Cos, the coach is got you covered

Chryss

WHEN THE SKY TURNS RED.

We left the company of thinking

To be controlled by the wind of norms

We don't question our believes

Cos, we'd be odd when we do.

To protect pride and ego

We blend to the ways of our society

To feel more connected

We throw away the culture of rationality.

A time would come, and it's coming

When man would be saved by what and who he believes in

Culture, leaders, philosophers would be made void

And all that'd count,  would be you.

As you go and flow

Question your believes, cos in doing so

You'll find the truth

And the truth we seek, is when we understand the nature of whom we be.

Man cannot save man

Only something bigger than man can.

Man's creations can't save him

Only the creator of man can.

The truth is;

We belong to a supernatural being

Whose image and emblem we bare

Till the sky turns red

Let's seek his face

Chryss.

BOREDOM KINGDOM

Take hope away from life

All that'd be left is boredom

Take meaning away from living

All that would be left is emptiness

We wake up everyday

Searching for means to satisfy our loneliness

We embark on meaningless social media challenges

We search for love to enjoy the loneliness together

Because we be broken beings.

As you lay in this kingdom

Take a nuptial flight to the realms of imagination

Dwell and think and plan and search

Cos', life has better things to offer in loneliness

Know Thy self and hope on

The world we can't see, is far more glorious than the vagueness we see

The fun that awaits the sons of light in the heavenlies, is far more funny than the fun we seek..

Let this be thy hope

Cos all we see and seek

Would one day surely end

And then,  the begining begins.

The life we were created to live

Only begins when the one we live in ends

So, let's live everyday getting ready for the life that never ends

Chryss.

WHEN LIFE STARTS AGAIN

Everyday seems like no day

We lie lifeless on the couch

With our eyes glued to the screen

As we imbibe the negativity of the media

Leaving our hopes and dreams go fallow...

When life starts again

When folks stampede to the metro

And lovers hold hands in the streets

And children fills the park

What might be your achievement and growth?

Don't let the present status quo blind your vision.

Daily improve your Wiz nonetheless

Cos all these shall pass

Everyday we make a choice

To be lazy and embrace the effect of bad news

Or to be wise and give ourselves to something bigger than us

Which is "growing to be come who you're meant to be"

Chryss

WHEN IT ALL ENDS

When life makes no sense

And achievements lose its savor.

When pleasure becomes stale 

And ambition becomes a vague term.

The world might be headed to an abyss

Drowned by the misery of her deeds

Enveloped by the desires of evil men

Playing with heart of folks for privy gain

It all started in the heart of sin

Birthed by the breath of the dragon

Driving men to satisfy self and self alone

Denying the main purpose for existence

I hear a call from the mountains

Saying " come up sons of the soil, be strengthened and hope on

Cos, all these shall pass"

The glory in wait for us

Be greater than the misery we see

The responsibility that awaits us

Be greater than the burden we bear

Zion be strengthened

Thy king knows thy name

And he'll rebuild thy gate

And thou shall be a glorious bride.

Chryss

To my ex

We had hope for a beautiful kiss under a mistletoe,

But our pride and stupidity stole em way.

I got broken and fell into depression

Cos, I was so unskilled to harness the treasure in loneliness.

So,

I tried to make you jealous by fake life on social media

Wearing a big smile, whilst i die daily

Preaching fluke, whilst I'm dead and dead again.

Wishing we could get back together; whilst having a ménage a Deux with the life we had.

When I realised,

Life is bigger than the moment,

My mood and feelings can't be trusted

The avalanche of emotional dirge in my rims would pass away;

I decided to love myself

Build my dreams

Master my emotion, so I won't make the mistake of letting love go when I find it again.

Its a mise en scene, I'd forever play

Though it be difficult

I've got a perfect mise en place

To tackle the emotionality o'clock.

Chryss

Back then...

When I was so shy and timid,

I fret at conversation

Scared of saying what I think

Pee on my pant when a girl talks to me.

Soon I realised,

Everyone is as stupid as I am

They have a low state which they ain't proud of

They have demons and they are flawed

In general, they are all stupid.

So,

I began loving and accepting my imperfections

My confidence began rising

And I began seeing the beauty and the best in everyone.

You know, we are all flawed beings

The more you accept your imperfections

The better lover you become.

Without the maker, we all are cosmic error.

You are not alone in your suffering

Folks got darker side than you know.

Take your self on a date

And stop trying to be exceptional or perfect.

grow to glow

Dreaming with working towards it,

Is like being alone in a crowded room.

Working without establishing a purpose

Is like dancing without moving.

Don't just pray for a better future,

Build capacity to contain em'

Don't fret to be alone, cos;

Within its cistern, lie tools for growth.

Being alone is not a curse

But an opportunity to know you,

Being weak is a not a curse

Its an opportunity to learn how to be strong

If you wanna glow

Then you have to grow

If you wanna blow

Then enjoy being low.

Chryss

When the writer's pen gets heavy

By the table sits the one. In him lies the birthplace of a billion lives, the beginning of a million galaxies, and his lullabies are the whimpers of the deep mysteries of the world.

By this table, sits that one. He is the writer. In him lies the power of creation only limited by his instrument of creation. 

Can you imagine a million lifetimes contained with the slender walls of an ink cylinder? A thousand galaxies condensed into a cylinder?

Indeed only the writer has the muscle to carry the pen.

But you ask, when does this pen get too heavy for this one the writer to use?

Indeed, if you close the gates of the soul, show me the one who has the power to weld that pen.

My Nigerian Song.

The media made us look like zoo

They generalized us as Africans

Without knowing we all are different with over 520 languages and 256 tribes.

They see us a hub for voodoo practices without understanding the light we bring.

Though our reputation be shallow

We can make us great

Though we be underdogs,

We can make us great.

Everyday, make a conscious effort to be a better Nigeria, thus doing; we'd make our country great

We've got skill and tenacity

Let us channel em to doing good

Everyday, share the goodnews about Nigeria and reprimand privy, the wrong we do.

We be Nigeria, we be love, we be brothers.

LOVE IS A CLASSROOM

We search for qualities, strengths,

We fall in love by intuition "oh, I met my soulmate blablabla"

We want to be understood, without saying how we feel

We seek perfection in folks, but we want to be loved the way we are.

Humans are social entities, With ability to change, pretend, desire to please, insecure and blablabla

Love is not that moment when you had the most magnetic and magical conversation with a person

But, the desire and patience to be classmate with someone in the school of life for life.

THE OLDER I GET

The older I get, the humbler I become

The lesser I value fame and materials

The more I value people and respect what and whom they represent.

Cos' all that is under the sun, would perish.

The older I get, the lesser friends I have

Cos' the path I tread on, chase many away

My purpose becomes clearer

And life becomes better.

If I find a fountain of youth, I wouldn't drink a cup;

Cos', getting old is a blessing

Chryss.

WHAT MAKES YOU RICH

Not every chance is worth taking

Sometimes, is best to remain friends

A step further might ruin the experience

Friends and healthy relationship makes you rich.

Sometimes, our longing for intimacy ruin precious pearls.

Love is beautiful, but you might not find it in every place

Read the signs on the wall

Sometimes it says, let us just remain friends.

Chryss.

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

When I was young;

I dated because I was lonely

I woo because I think she likes me

I mistook attention as love

I see every girl as a future girlfriend.

When I became wiser;

I valued the time I spent with myself

I woo because I'm interested.

I valued love more than sex

I see every lady as a treasure whose value can be unlocked by support and respect.

I dated because I wanted to.

Часом ми женемося за грошима,

Часом ми женемося за грошима, любов'ю, хобі, друзями, кар'єрою, і багато іншим, щоб стати щасливими і сповненими всебічно.

Але чому так стається, коли ми досягаємо того, за чим ми гналися, ми відчуваємо себе спустошеними, і хочемо ще і ще

Та пустота, яку ми відчуваємо всередині, палке бажання стати вільними від страху змусило нас оточити себе матеріальними речима

Але: ми і досі спустошені

Правда в тому, що наша жага, наше палке бажання є чимось надприроднім

І погасити нашу жагу, заспокоїти наші палкі бажання може тільки хтось надприроднім, хтось поза цим світом.

Людина походить від Бога

І це означає, що існує лише одна річ, яка може заповнити нашу пустоту і заспокоїти наш голод - це Святий Дух.

Коли ти знаходиш Бога

Життя набуває сенсу

І наша мета стає нашим домом

Ісус наш Цар

INSATIABLE

Sometimes we run to money, Love, fun, hobbies, friends, career and lots more to make us happy and fulfilled.

But, why is it that when we get all of these we still feel empty and we keep wanting more?

The emptiness we feel inside, the longing to be freed from fear has made us embrace materialism

But, still we are empty.

The truth is, our longing is supernatural

And it can only be quenched by a supernatural being.

Man source is from God,

And only he can quench our hunger and emptiness with his Holy Spirit

When you find God;

Life makes sense 

And purpose becomes your new home

Jesus is king!

SALTED AT SALT.

I've got dreams,

But the leadership to do em'

I can't find

So, I decided to look for em in salt_2020

Then I saw;

Young soldiers of the gospel, gathered;

To learn his grace and be filled up.

Fiercely proclaiming the goodnews

And making man's ideology think Christ.

Sick stereotypes broken

As my Wiz got sharper

And my rims be equipped 

To become a better folk.

What I searched for

A miles from home

I found in salt.

I got salted in salt.

LOST BOY

My destination is unknown

But, why do I feel lost?

My location is unknown

But, why do I feel I'm being haunted.

Lost boy in a drowned land

Hanging out with Peter Pan

My only companion, the man in the mood

Even leaves, when my dark hem shines.

Quiet my soul, dear guardian angel

There be lot for us to do.

Sail through the imaginative world

And find the source of my livelihood 

Life without purpose is dead.

Chryss.

THERE ARE THINGS..

There be things we shouldn't preach until we've experienced em' 

There be times we shouldn't give advice until we've being brewed with experience.

Everyone want to be teachers

Everyone want to be leaders

Everyone want their voices be heard

Everyone want their opinion matter.

So, 

We teach to impress, to show knowledge and flex eloquence

So we run off the learning ride to flow with rollercoaster of teachers.

You know; 

The learning process is better

It's time to brew and pump muscles.

Control the passion to teach

It shortens the need to learn

As you go

Learn to enjoy learning because;

Through its concierge

You'll forever be a better teacher.

Life is more beautiful than you've discovered when you love to learn.

Chryss.

YOU KNOW,

We be caught up with the responsibility to live for others

We be wanting to impress folks and make em happy

We be caught up with the vibes of selfless living

We be wanting to make proud and surprise folks around us.

The voice of family calls

Mama needs a new wrapper

Papa needs some shoes

Friends need to eat

The sissy needs be a macho

But, truly;

Our first responsibility is to self.

When you feed yourself with goodies

Only then can you have the strength to feed your folks and flocks.

Our mandate is to develop ourselves

Only then can we be better folks and shepherds.

Walk your path in peace and patience

Everything has its time

Time to learn and time to earn

Time to help and time to be helped

Just flow with your rythmn

And someday, you'll have the ability to chose any song from life's playlist

But for now,

Let's help yourselves

Chryss

YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND..

Sometimes the future seems blur

The more you try uncode the enigma

The deeper you sink in her arcaneous advance.

It leaves you fallow, like a yeti in Mt Himalayan.

The future is a mystery

We are players with whom

The maker of world uses

To tell a story.

Don't worry about what you can't control

You reaction towards them is powerless

Don't lose a whole bunch of life, worrying

You have to enjoy, live, learn and grow.

We be the painting on a wall

Made to make history and tell beautiful stories

So our children would have a blueprint to live and hope on!

Life is cool, when you've seen your purpose

Find it, live it and enjoy it!

Don't waste time worrying,

Spend it on learning, living and growing!

Chryss 

be STILL and THINK.

Fireworks and music in the air

As folks drench their spirit in alcohol

Tears and worship in the air,

As folks pray for the new year.

Some sat in the corner

Making a new year's resolution.

Some sat on social media

Announcing their new found say online.

Sometimes, we create religion and tradition without knowing it's efficacy

We follow blindly what folks say and do

Without understanding their appurtenance.

As you write your dos and don'ts

Don't get overwhelmed or make em bulky

Go easy on you

So, the muse to achieve them won't flee.

As you drink and celebrate

Don't get drunk

It's preposterous to get started; drunk

The year is young and filled with drink

Don't consume all, disperse them.

Happy new year folks.
