TEENS CORNER: Prince Emmanuel C. Umahi aka De Lyrical Poet ON DRUMMER BOY

♫ I started in the Church as a drummer

   With the glorious renditions and no melodrama

  During ministrations

 I had the greatest joy to preach to nations

And tell them the truth about salvation.

I learnt many drum rolls

Which we played during carols

With laughter and no death rolls.

♫ I fell in love with my sticks

   And the perfect bass drum kicks.

  Rolling on the tom-toms gave me joy

That’s why I’m called the little drummer boy.

Also, one thing I cherish most,

Is my inspiration from the Holy Ghost.

People kept saying that I was a sick

For been Jesus freak,

I laugh because I see myself at the peak.

♫ My life was not like clashing cymbals

     But it is shining as crystals

    Mama always told me to strike for perfection

    And I’m on my knees praying for God’s direction.

     Had big dreams

    Like playing in shows like Nigeria Idol and Project Fame

   Also been watched on TV screens,

  Amidst much cheers and screams.

 Daddy also told me to use the perfect harmony

This would act as my melody and symphony.
