YOUR WORD Your words oh Word I clutch to my heart Oh God, your promises are like a map before me as I seek your face everyday But, there is a pain in my heart a cut so deep that I bleed in shame fear replaces faith as the voices behind me laugh in my face Your Word Oh Word is not a burden but why is it so heavy in my heart today? (c) Jennifer Ehidiamen I SURRENDER show me a way a channel, a route through which I could reach out to this hurting world and wipe out that tears rolling down her cheeks I know, I know I must tread only on that path I know well else I cramp my style with stinking gibberish My wallet is flat tonight please don't count on that Still this urge to belong an undiluted desire to serve yearns so loudly I can hold back no more I surrender in total submission my heart cry here I am, use me lover of my soul to be a helping hand in my society to learn to give without asking for a refund to able to influence others into aiming for the best never to try playing god over my peers to you my king I obediently surrender (c)Jennifer Ehidiamen STAY CONNECTED Hush... hear the sound of the tomtom being played by the African child it is a rythm of love, peace, and joy. stay connected to the right source it is all free of charge get all your problems solved and be sure to be on the safe side I am connected to the right source that is why my life is so sunny do i sound a little bit funny? oh no! i am not trying to be cunning stay connected to Jesus Christ He is the true and only right source i know Jesus christ ...the solution for a fulfilled and joyous life! (C) Jennifer Ehidiamen   Vendetta They pointed us guilty  over bitter conflict they instigate  staining our innocence with their cruelty For three years and over  we forgot how to laugh  as our dawn to dusk witnessed war But now...  the hand of the clock is turn  we are empowered to do it right Does it matter if our enemies die?  Will it cheer up our past?  Should we give room to vengeful refutation? We are in the future now  a time of resilience that understands only love language  that settles all differences We are learning again to smile  as love conquers all taste of bitterness  lurking in every corner of our town Let us move on guided by Love  call off the war and give peace a chance  Vendetta- Never again! (c) Jennifer Ehidiamen The Wait for El-rufai Fathers, mothers, old and young In front of their brave abode they stand Hands akimbo, love yawning In the long wait for El-rufai   Atmosphere tense Hearts discerning where else to go Still they wait, lack of resources Hoping for a change of heart   The next blarring horn May be the bull dozer Determined to pull down their slum mansion In the order which El-rufai commanded   Unleash dogs still wander the streets Children still sing their rhymes Their innocence echo oblivion Of the panic stricken reality   Yesterday a home owner, today a house hustler The taunting dream come to pass El-rufai’s brave design for living Has pulled down your shelter.   (c) Jennifer Ehidiamen, 24/10/06 Dream on... For every dream that cannot be Help me to leave for another to dream Do not let me quench my thirst By living a dream set for another Show me how and where to place my steps  On every level I climb on to That I stay in line with your plans And not run ahead  In days to come When old and grey, and I lay down to rest It will be with a peaceful satisfaction Of knowing that my part I have played well In dreaming a dream from which others can dream Free of selfishness and greed.

Unseen Forces The race would have been easier  have I a clue of what I was running from  hands I do not know its owner  grasp for my shoulder  scratching it till my blood flowed. There is no hiding place tonight  I lay there staring into the bare sky  as unfamiliar voices   filled my shattering dream  flood of hot tears  washed down my blood stained cheeks The unseen forces  the hindrances and limitations  the sorrow and heart aches I prayed to be free from them all  thunder rumbled and lightning struck  setting the demons of the night ablaze I am free again  this time by the power of His Blood  by the power of the Highest Authority Tonight I lay on my bed  a part of me fearing  for the horror that lie in the dark Slowly my heart let go of all worries and fear   and on my bed I lie in His presence  dreaming sweet dreams about tomorrow!   (c) Jennifer Ehidiamen   My Brothers Wrestle My brothers wrestle for fun  when hands lie idle  and everyone's chin goes flat from boredom  they begin their wrestling  that calls for no winner or loser. Here we sit applauding  attracting the passer-by  who stands mouth agape  as he watches on amused We throw our head back in laughter  as each pair of zombie pretend to be that world champion  what is his name? The way they throw their blows and kicks  do not even match  but still we watch on  enjoying such display of innocence Today our brothers wrestle  but not the same as last night's  when the shinning stars in the sky  and the motherly moon  lit up their black and strong naked back Today our brothers’ wrestle  they wrestle because they are hungry  and the frustration they vent on each other  they are going to tear each other apart  and blood will stain our play ground See...  the blows and kicks have changed direction  no longer is it aimed to tickle the other  in anger they vow to hurt each other  no one dare step in to separate them No more innocence in this match  someone has bewitched our fun tonight  peace and love have strolled out of town  will it be long before they return?
