In His birth
Divinity became enwrapped in humanity
For the salvation of mankind.
In His death
Divinity suffered in the hands of humanity
Paying the price for the salvation of mankind.
In His resurrection
Divinity had Him forever established
As the only Saviour of mankind.

Because he is so bright.
He thinks all his ways are right.
So he went only his way.
But, alas, he went astray!
He feels he knows everything
He doesn’t want to be taught anything
But indeed he is truly short-sighted
He who doesn’t want to be guided
Whether in his aggressive action
Or in his cool but calculated inaction
If he doesn’t want to hear out any body
He might end up becoming a nobody
“It’s my life; this is my world”
Will always be his word
But he forgets to remember
That one alone is too small a number.
He’s been planting the seed of loneliness
Sure he will meet with shameful ugliness.
If he doesn’t change now his ways
He’s heading for the way that never pays.
If he never learns from the rest
His abode will soon turn into a forest.
Cos he’s standing on the sand that sinks
He’ll end up in a hole that stinks.
Already, he’s heading towards destruction
Because he completely abhors instruction.
Soonest will be his day of reckoning
Clearly, to him the devil is beckoning.
Had he loved good instruction
He wouldn’t go in the wrong direction.
Could we then say all is well?
He’s gone farther than we can tell.
There might still be a way out
If for help he’ll open his mouth to shout
But his pride reaches the imposing sky
Like the Everest standing so high.

When I saw you the first time.
It felt like you were an angel.
Though I didn’t have much dime.
I knew our relationship will gel.
From that very day on wards
Up, everything went towards
Being with you seemed so right
And our future colourfully bright.
Together we set out on this journey
Though it may be rough and thorny
It is guaranteed us we will make it
If we have our trust in God every bit
People will see us and marvel
As God’s favours on us unravel
We will wave at them and say
It is the Lord’s doing all the way
Sure, it is marvellous in our eyes
Not because we are strong and wise
But because we have the greatest love
Poured in our hearts from high Above.

You said you loved me with all your heart.
And you made me many promises for a start.
So I loved and trusted you as a thorough-bred.
Having faith in the future I thought we shared.
But before the very future began to unfold.
Before our relationship became months old.
Many ugly things about you began to surface.
One after another, right before my innocent face.
I thought I could handle them very well at first
Wishing that what we shared would not waste.
But you consistently proved to be irredeemable
For awful reasons that still remain inscrutable
“I am human after all,” you always claim
That I know, so I apportioned no blame
Thinking that since…

In the dead of one rainy night
He crept into my room uninvited
Pinning me down to the bed very tight
He began to do what his body wanted.
This has become a regular ritual
That I’ve come to endure every night
The act has never been consensual
Utterly bruised, I’ve lost the will to fight
One night I wanted to run away and shout
But he threatened to kill me if I dare
Or have me immediately thrown out
Unless I yielded to him with my body bare.
He forced his hard-self deep inside of me
Just as he….

In case you have not yet noticed, I have started another blog called, Living Poems. It is a blog I am dedicating to exploring the poetic side of me.
In other words, the blog will center squarely on poetry or inspired lines as I would like to call them. It promises to be very inspiring…
The blog will document my poems in one place. Before now, my contributions to poetry on the blogosphere were posted in the poems sub category here on Victors’ Corner.
However, the poems train has now moved to my Living Poems blog. Some of my latest poems have been published there already and more are still loading…
So if you have been following me here on Victors’ Corner, kindly join me on Living Poems as well. New followers are welcomed too! Let us explore our poetic gifts together.
However, the Poetry corner of Victors’ Corner will continue to exist; the poems there will not be deleted. But the news ones will first be posted on Living Poems before they would be mirrored here (if need be).
Right now, the living poems blog is beginning to gaining some tractions already. Thanks to all the first visitors to the blog.
As I am writing this post, a notification for the first five likes has dropped in. Let’s just say I am heralding that little beginning here.
The poems posted on the new blog will be a blessing to you. Some of them will make you laugh, others will make you want to cry and angry at the same time.
But they will leave you inspired in the end. They are nary ordinary poems because they are inspired lines from Above.
As you read them, feel free to share them with your friends, like them or drop your comments. Apart from sharing the value with someone else, you would also make my day by doing so.
And if you have any good poetry blog to recommend to me, feel free to do so. It will be my pleasure to check them out.
Thank you for your time. You may now follow me to Living Poems blogs .

Yes, it is my birthday again
I wish I’m without any stain
It comes once in every 365 days.
I wish I’ve improved in 1,000 ways.
Yes it has been a year of many gains.
But they didn’t come without any pains.
Another day to mark a personal new year.
But not that there hasn’t been a drop of tear.
Not every day of the year has been so wonderful.
But I have many reasons to be very thankful.
It’s been a year full of blessings.
And also one full of many lessons.
I pray that as my days on earth increase.
May my happiness in life never decrease.
There’s a reason I’m still alive, I suppose.
Yes, I’m here to fulfill a divine purpose.
I will always go the way my Lord chooses
Even when it is not all a bed full of roses.
Either now on in the many years ahead.
I will ever trust in the One who is my Head.
Please join me with one accord.
As I lift all the praises to God.

Not every one will love you the way you are.
But do not be depressed by thinking no one loves you at all.
Not every man will treat you nicely and kindly.
But make not the mistake of assuming all men are beasts.
Not every one will have unflinching faith in you.
But do yourself a favour, never fail to believe in you.
Not everyone will truly understand you.
But never you take for granted those who do.
Not everyone will know where the shoe pinches.
Because not everyone has been in your shoes.
Not everyone will show you how they made it in life.
But when you make it, be kind to show the way to others.
Not everyone will celebrate you and your dreams.
But when your dreams come through, you will be celebrated.
Not everyone will be there when you need them.
But not everyone who isn’t there is against you.
Not everyone around you will do the right things.
But always do things right whomever you are around.
Not everyone believe there is God.
But you know that’s a sure sign of foolishness.
Not everyone will do whatever you love.
But that doesn’t stop you from loving everyone.
Not everyone can please you all the time.
They’re just like you, you can’t please everyone every time.
Not everyone will smile at you every time.
But it may not mean they are not happy with you.
Not everyone will be grateful for your help.
But never fail to show gratitude to whomever helps you.
Not everyone will forgive all your offences.
But always forgive everyone who offends you.

You love your wife and you know it.
And she knows too that you love her.
Your love languages are truly in sync.
All is going well and good for you both.
No slacking, keep the flag flying.
That is how it is supposed to be.
You love your wife and you know it.
But your wife doesn’t think you love her.
In many ways you try to prove that you love her.
But she never really gets to understand you much.
You are speaking a love language different from hers.
It is time you began to learn her own love language.
You don’t love your wife and you know it.
But somehow she thinks that you do love her.
All because you have been acting like you love her.
Is it not time you stopped deceiving her?
And begin to make your love acts true to the heart?
Loving is a choice you have to make in her favour.
You don’t love your wife and you know it.
She too knows that you don’t love her.
But somehow, you are both managing each other…
You are the one failing in your responsibility here,
Because you were the one told, “Husband love your wife.”
Now is the time to make the choice to love her.

His death brought salvation to mankind.
A Saviour like Him no one can ever find.
Without Him we would be forever lost.
With Him we overcame the devil’s worst.
They had Him despised and rejected.
But He refused to be utterly dejected.
They numbered Him amongst criminals.
And sent him to death terminals.
He took on the journey with sheer courage
The soldiers paid him a mocking homage.
He carried the cross and paid the price.
Giving His life for the ultimate sacrifice.
They put Him in a very cold grave
With armed soldiers strong and brave
To stay there and take watch over…
The devil thought it was all over.
But on the very third day
An angel rolled the stone away
And in that same glorious hour
He arose from death with power
He overcame the power of hell
Now rings the victory bell.
All hail King Jesus
Who died to redeem us.
