BIAFRA

Wandering restlessly in the kingdom of love was my mind
Seeking for a place to settle at last in peace
Suddenly on the horizon appeared a lovely shrine
A Hallowed ground where my worries would cease

My new domain turned out to be God's paradise
Where prevailed an atmosphere of warmth and tenderness
I've wondered if it wasn't Heaven itself in disguise
For everything there was filled with grace and sweetness

I realized that until now I was living a lie
That I had discovered what destiny had preserved
In that heavenly place, it wasn't possible for me to die
As long as I gave it all the love it deserved

Every single instant, I fell more in love with this hallowed ground
And I promised to never let it slip afar
Now my mind has found a reason to settle down
That divine shrine is land of rising sun, Biafra

I AM FOR BIAFRA


I am for Biafra!!!
The passion for her
Inflames my heart and soul
And like a first and true love
I cannot forget her from my thoughts
And with longing will I seek her,
In a penthouse of elegant decor,
In a one office shack of frugal modesty,
Or in an unceremonious hole in the wall
I will always be for Biafra!!!

UKAOBASI,

That was beautiful.

This maiden called Biafra must be one helluva Princess. She's being loved, wooed, and sought after...from the pent House to the shacks, and down into a hole in the wall. Biafra, thou art blessed!

Attach To Nothing

Don't ask for the impossible
Let your longing do the search
Just change the object
Then life becomes a paradise
