I am the omega
that means I am the
peak, the ultimate
but I am also the
alpha
that means before
there’s anything
when you were
nothing
I am
I am the alagbada ina
That means the sun
is my blazer
but darkness is
also my underwear
so you are still
part of my wardrobe
even when you are
dirty
sometimes I have to
take you off
and wash you with
my son’s blood
my laundromat is open
24 hours a day… for you
it’s called Mercy Cleans
I am ebube d’ike
That’s a direct
reference to my omnipotence
so I have the power
to carry the entire world
I do that already
but it also means
that despite
the flaws, the
frailties, the sinfulness,
despite your hate
for me,
I’d break the gates
of brass and
cut the bars of
iron asunder
so you can taste
the power in the life I offer
ebube d’ike
I am Eternity,
Yeah, I am that
immortality
the world is
searching for
time finds its
measurement in me
but if you consider
this possibility critically
it means I can
rewrite your history
and make you a
character in His story
my son’s story
because I am
author, publisher, printer, promoter
and distributor of
a book called Everlasting
You can’t travel
back in time
But I constructed
that road
so, I can journey
back to your past
and civilly
engineer it to be
the future roads
science fictions
aspire to be
This is truth not
fact
I know you see the
Lion and see my might
but have you ever
considered the ant
and thought about
the level of complex detail
I had to put in to
create that simplicity?
I am not just for the
mighty
I am also for the
“would-bes” and “might-bes”
So I see you in the
ring when you fight sin
I’m counting the
punches you’ve taken in
the score board
says you are losing
but I am your
trainer and I am the referee
so even when you
are down
I consciously count
slowly
Until you remember
2 Corinthians 4
verse 9
Cast down but not
destroyed
Yeah, I am judge,
jury
and I pronounce
your sentence
but I am also your
defence attorney
Do you really think
you can lose this?
my track record
says I’ve got this
this is not the
first race I’ve won
you won’t be my
last son
there’s another
Paul
coming after the
last one
it could be you
but first you have
to be blind to see
blind to the world
to see me
I am
