 The price of fame;   What's in a name? Feverishly gearing up your act; Not knowing what rules to enact. You keep looking into the mirror; As you rehearse your lines with all vigour; Knowing that deep down in your soul, You have missed the mark with just a meal in a bowl. You know, you have sold your soul to deception; And there is just a thin line between reality and imagination! You let the very essence of who you ought to be, go; just for a moment of faded glory, and now you say no! Yet there is One Who still knows and grieves; For by His stripes we are healed! His Love and Scars are a reminder of His Sacrifice; So don't let it be in vain even in your lingering demise! Poem written by Ewoma.

 The orchestration of restoration; The manifestation of innovation. And the release of God's Glory, Wiping away all  your fears; then don't worry; As you take that bold step in time; While listening to your heart's beat and rhyme,; You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish; With every stroke of faith as small as a mustard seed, yet not foolish! Bearing in mind, the reason for your call and existence, As you calculate the distance from where you  have also been in pertinence;  To give God the Honour, Praise and Glory for His Love and Manifold Resilience. Poem written by Ewoma.

 People and places, Dresses and cases; Times and seasons, On the move, on the go! Running towards the finishing line, Drilling treasures from a gold mine. Whispering and gossips: Two faced liars and deceivers. Too many people caught up on trips; Just too late to return the hires. But let's all remember that there will be a time of reckoning: Judgements, rewards and beckoning, For those who made their stay worthwhile though sometimes painfully lingering; Yet there would be some who though hindering, Will have their words displayed on Eternal boards and on walls, Where there will be darkness, howling and growling!

 Each moment I wake up,  Listening to the sounds of the waves washing through the shore,. Wondering in my mind the next step to take; If only I wasn't too anxious at this point in time on the horizon of wantoness; I'd see clearly the path which trails down the road of glory and yet tenacity; Which in my heart and deep down in my soul, I deem fit to castigate, And not profligate; But instantly, show someone who needs some love and attention; Advice and direction, Like never before, who lived among the thorns and thistles of merriment and bliss;  Which has now cut deep into the imprint of the soul,  I am glad to say, that I didn't take that plunge into that deep dark hole of despair,  Which comes from obscurity and even uncertainty; Well, I certainly took the right turn, upwards, And this, I must say, has been the best thing, I could ever have done in my entire life! Poem written by Ewoma.

 Oh, my love, My heart's dove.. When will you come? And take me home? Still, sitting and suffering in silence, Waiting for you to arrive in cadence; Battling with the horrors and darkness of rejection; Yes, making claims through the scene of dejection. So, my own, It's now time for bone to meet with bone, No more separation which occured at birth; Journeying alone through the planet earth; Sometimes, feeling the weight and also the thrill of singleness, But now knowing the throes of loneliness! It's now time to become one again, As it was in the beginning, When God created me from you! Poem written by Ewoma.

  Take away the pain, the process, the trials and the persecution; And what's left? Only the glory and the goodness of God! Take away the shame, reproach, hurt and rejection; And what's left? Only the lifting and honour and the goodness of God! Take away the hunger, famine, peril and destruction; And what's left? Only the plenty and abundance, and the goodness of God! Take away the illnesses, diseases and mental conflict; And what's left? Only the healing and health, and the goodness of God! Take away the pride and haughtiness of the human soul; And what's left? Only  meekness and humility of heart, and the goodness of God! Take away sin and the disobedience of man; And what's left? Only salvation and the redemption of man, and the goodness of God! Well, for every trial and process we go through in life; At the end of the tunnel, There can and will only be the mercies, the goodness and the glory of the Almighty God! Written by Ewoma

  He was a very fine man, Can’t say if he was really my fan.. But we had a very deep connection; Deeper than the cravings of a real confection! He was the one I thought I could marry, To late, we broke up in a hurry! We had great plans for the future; Our hearts’ desires, yes we did nurture. But circumstances beyond our control, Took us both on a great stroll. Up, up, and far away; To a place all glittery and gay! A place where there’s no more pain; Only love, grace and gain. Yes, I really look forward to seeing you there; Still, yet a long way from now and here. And I’m not ashamed to say, That we would meet again; But this time for the very first time! Written By Ewoma

  Vanity like all other things, Has crept into our everyday lives, And corrupted the processes of our well being. Eating up vital aspects of our time kin, Sending the wrong signals of the purpose of our existence. True, we delight in fancy delicates and rich fares which life has to offer; Perhaps, those fine leather boots or that smooth fur; Those silk scarves and wide brimmed hats; Fine French wines and cream gateaux! Also, we don’t forget the ice-creams with so many flavors to try; that our eyes glisten with tears and so we begin to cry, Not from pain but of sheer delight and pure pleasure! To allow the substance of vanity to rule your subconscious and rob you of your true existence,  Is like deliberately placing your hands on  hot searing coals, And pretending that it’s burning heat does more good than harm;  Most especially, when the scars are so evident on your bank account, And can be eventually seen on the scathed reins with which you pull your destiny!

  ALIVE IN HIM It’s a new day, Growing stronger in the way, Doing everything you may, Strong foundations you lay. TRUSTING IN HIS WORD Amidst the tears, Receding fears, The Word in your ears, Casting all your cares. GOD CARES  Trusting in His Love, Looking from above, Our problems He solves, More and more He loves. VICTORY OVER TEMPTATIONS Surrounded by the lions, Makes us real champions; Climbing up the canyons, Rising from the dungeons. OUT OF GOD’S WILL  Feeling down, Checking out to town; Responding to the clown, Diminishing your crown!  SOLD OUT TO GOD In an attitude of praise, Our hands we raise. The world in its craze, Think it’s just a phrase! All poems written by Ewoma Copyright © 2021 

  THE GLORY OF TRIALS  Every trial is a blessing, Even though the pain lingering; His ways and His will shinning, You don’t  have to keep on whining. MOVING GOD’S HANDS Loving is the key, Bending on the knee; Praying for the need; A harvest from the seed. POWER IN THE WORD God’s Word heals, Even when we miss our meals. Not like the rolling wheels; He conquers all ills! ETERNAL REST  Heaven with streets of gold; Dwelling place of the patriarchs Of old. A haven for those who are bold, But a danger zone for those who are cold! DELIGHTING IN HIS MERCY  We are favored by His mercy, Although, sometimes, we feel hazy; Yet, the Lord is always ready, To give us something daily!  All  poems written by Ewoma.

 Can you show me some scars? As you reached for the stars; Maybe you did all you could, you know what I’m talking about. When you were trodden down in pain; Negotiating your way to the heights of fame and glory! But you wish your journey was a bit more pleasant;  Not laden with the shame that tried to pull you down. Yet you fought your way through the thorns and thistles of life; Wavering and staggering up the ladder of success; Each step stronger than the previous one; Pushing up, up and up until you reached the highest wrung at the pinnacle. Then suddenly your view changes; As you can now see from the heights you have attained;  How far down you have come up from, and yet how small figures of uncertainty seem to you at that moment. Then suddenly, you must realize that for every applause and accolade you have received; There’s a God behind the scenes orchestrating events in your favor, So you can fulfill every written code in the journal of destiny; Remembering to always...

Have you ever wondered why you’ve been chosen? You never asked to be chosen, yet you were chosen.. And on this path has brought to your heart so much despair... And uncertainty!!! You ask yourself: ‘Is this pain worth all the acrimony?” It feels like that every time you sober reflect on your life- The past, present and the future! You beg to be allowed the freedom to live like others; Fast and furious; fair and cheap. You’ve tried to do as they do; live their lives on the fast lane. But you have always known and still know deep down inside your heart and soul; Your true identity, even if it feels like you don’t know where the next turn leads. You have been chosen by God; To do His will and discover His purpose here on earth! And so to live life on your own terms, isn’t an option; This means you rebel against the laws of eternity... This is not proper because you were chosen before the foundations of the world were lain! Written by Ewoma

When a man loves God; He doesn’t care if he is trampled upon in the mud! When a man loves God; He turns his back on the crowd, And the world considers him mad! When a man loves God, He prefers to spend his days; In the courts of His praise. When a man loves God; He sings in paradise; Because it’s his merchandise! Written by Ewoma

A woman after God’s heart; Is one who longs always to be in His presence. She delights in Him and would not do anything mean! She wants to be commended by Him and loves to be led by Him. When she is convicted; She knows she is loved and not afflicted. Though,  sometimes, she is remorseful by her mistakes; She learns and never goes back. Yes, she falls seven times; God Almighty she never denies! Written by Ewoma

Eternity.. A place to be; We should not miss it- For anything in this world! Written by Ewoma

The State of Emergency, Is that State that needs Christ.  No news Agency; Neither day or night; Can give you the peace, That is required for your soul! Written by Ewoma

All day long; I hear the rushing sound, Like the never ending gong. The flowers look so beautiful; The butterflies look so radiant- But who can relieve the pain of the heart? Know God is watching and waiting; He is looking and loving; He mends the broken heart and gives hope to the hopeless! Written by Ewoma

Even though everything seems so dark and gloom; And the skies seem so far away and blue, And you wonder- “Where am I heading to?” Just remember that God will see you through! Though the stars may shine no more and more; And there’s little or no strength to call, Yet there’s One you can lean on, So you don’t have to cry or mourn. Written by Ewoma
