What we are doing to her...

THE CAUSE

THE CAUSE

Life drama
Here, it's the academic banter
Somewhere, it's something better
Elsewhere, it's lesser
Whatever it is in wherever
The first question to answer
Matters attached to survival
And the secondary turned primary thing
Extraordinary liberation from being weakling
All of us, in the latter we sink
The more we struggle the deeper we go
Yet Man won't just let go
Life at heart as in world for man
As in the former, target of survival
That is a natural owndom of all that lives
But in the latter
The fervor for stupendous richdom
The ardor for stour fame
These, like wrapped weed at tranquillity
The greed in humanity flares the ends
The smoke drifts towards infinity

SOURCE OF DAUDA II

My big idol is in the market
My masqurade is a big one too
And he is at home
All glory be to God
All respect be to the two of 'em
The driver and the vehicle
Much as I was blessed at infancy
So I wish to be empowered
To multiply the return

EXPERIMENT

It is possible you see it
See or see not
It remains immortally unexpressable
Life has no definition at all
Some things work here and fail there
Some works now and fail later

That was a major error
Seeing things is an entire condition
If you really met the light
As in walk out of darkness
Keep mute and stay away
Do not go into it

Keep unto the narrow path
Strong is your chance and hope of coming out
But most probably not understand
Do not step into the ditch
The first and foremost precaution

THE BOY BY THE ROAD (Part I)
He is the mirror of his own reflection
The wails of hardship and lamentation
Long curtained from his affections
The veils of which were in shadow
A pimp of his past from the window
Aligned the pains of a widow
Played from his memories in book
A tail from which the world must look
The pot where burns and pants are cooked
The enjoyable suns he trod
Eating from stones and rods ……….
And several chores too odd
A page earlier to read
The rhythmic chorus he heeds
From one head to another head
To guard his empty tummy

BLEACH

No matter how clear is the sky
There'd be some dark cloud
Yes, by the sky originally is clear
The thriving place for plants and motiles
Mother Earth is the sweet home of life
Fire in the appropriate situation
Is to aid human meal and some other things
Water to soften the ambience
Water to house life in water
Human in part said water is life
The elements meant to house life
Four of them to please the living
In their immortality
Function to support the mortals
Easen all of live
One can trap the history of Man
Yes, how and what it was like at start
Lot done in the best of intetions
In the interest of then and now
Greeds and the likes darkens the soul
The world was originally innocent
All to be done
Is to bleach the world in material
The possibility of which is wind on Jupiter

SIDE EFFECT

This is a point
About the incesssant motions
Of live and the living
Of the elementary immortality
Think not
Even of what becomes of the after life
Assume it's an unending sleep
Yes and true
Hustle is the spirit of life
The soul of the ghetto
Talent is the first son of perfection
Be at best, exhaust the talent
All you can to survive, please do

But
Mind life in entirety
All the efforts of man
Had it been positive
Harmless as possible
When need be, least harmful
To the ambient world
Earth now
We may read as the synonym of paradise
Prosperity we must seek
But it is fate
Written in conditions beyond human reach
There is no need to go evil in her name
Let us go after it
Following an avenue
With positive side effects
Much as we can and all of the time

AKINTUNDE

In my last dream
I saw a boy and a girl
In thick, heavy, brown clothings
Their hair scanty and unkempt
They were doing the agro in the ancient way
Hitting things to reveal their content
Kernel of palm very hard
They looked like slaves
The boy got to  a  spot and sank very sharp
His name was Akintunde
Akintunde, the brave one has come again
The girl looked so blank
Maybe seeking what went wrong deep in her
It was an old woman narrating to an old man
I heard her voice so clear sayin that
The land has swallowed Akintunde
What a pain in hell?
Where is the girl's partner?
Could it be the woman's son?
Could the man be the father?
Akintunde!!!
Where are you?!!!
It's a must now that I ask
You appeared in my dream
Now my friend so close to my heart
Oh you mother Earth
I have a new friend and his name
Akintunde, the god of the land
Akin,
I want to see you again
Other Earth
Could you vomit Akintunde
Now that I'm awake
You have my blessings wherever you are now
And...
I love you Akintunde, the god of land
You took away a lot
come back with 'em
Or send 'em to me
With your sign on 'em
Your hands if not you
My Akintunde, the brave

CONFESSION

I was born weak
Though with ample strength
In the internal realm
I say no to growing weak
Numerous things from the ghetto
It's a but
That only a little gets back home
Bests you see
Possess diamond as the backbone of hope
Another reason why
The subject should not break in time
Here, they call me this
There, they call me that
They didn't name me just like that
It's truly because I be this
Sometimes too, I be that
On the ladder of time
I climbed the years
Yet not sure what height to declare
Hurdles and the likes, some I jumped
I can't even start that, journey still on
Name for the grace, I do not know
For and from the almighty
So I beleive
This or that
Parts of the legend is bigger than the hero

YOUNG MAN

My name is Young Man
Sometimes ago I was smaller
Now, I am stout
If you wish, you may spell out the differences
I can't see my own heart
But I can and will read it
Are you one of those
That call me Nothing
While I am Young Man
I've seen and I'm seeing
Even you have not and cannot see everything
Grossly,
Tell me your superiority over me
The something that you bear
Was nothing and no more Young Man
I won't say I'm better anyway

Yes, this is stout Young Man
Hello Mr Old Man
You know what I don't
Really yes and maybe true
When my name changes too
What if I saw a wider gamut
I listen to you Old Man
But tell me the rules
You never even got to it
Whatever we fill the box with
You and I ain't taking a step beyond terminal
Strength and weakness
Beginning and end
All must phenomena
In the story and all through
To a boundary that no one shall ever transgress

Am I even human
No, I am Young Man
And what is Young Man
Indefinite potential
Infinite prowess
The universe
And all of space is not enough
Only time is the boundary
It will never die

DREAMER GIRL

She lives in a world not near
She is always happy, smiling and dancing
The only reason Earth is unsafe for her
You might think she is an alien
She is just like you and me
Very real like all the things
From where she does live
She still smiles on the race
That the little children may come out to play
The life of a galaxy
Queried size
Oh you beautiful lady of the moon
You did't hear of her
But severally, i a state or so
You and even you
Must have seen the dreamer girl

BLESS ME NOW

All the things so wished for
A palace and a mobile mansion
Cool this and hot that
Shall be possessed with believe
But when
The prayer to the almighty
For the want to be personality
And all of the above

The road to being smooth
Royal and shining
The ups to be lowered
The downs to be raised
Levelled platform for the journey
Before the time we wait for
In addition
Bless me now

TROUBLED SEARCHER

The saying of my people
Reality that lasts
Till the end of time
They said
"Long life or no worries, you have to choose one"
See what man made himself
What we craeted with our hands
Are the reasons we are lost
The cause of the move without direction
"O pe laye, oju re koni ribi, okan ni o fowomu"
One mystery that is immortal
Is that all the worries
All the questions
All the pain
And the gain so far
Did not bring out from darkness
The definition of life
Even the shortest life is troubled
But it never made a difference
"Eni waye ko raye, eni raye ko damo"
He who looks for life doesn't see it, he who sees it doesn't recognize it
Despite all the troubles
For the short and long lives
No one ever found it

MYSTERY ELEPHANT...

Overloaded and made with rock now covered in grass to show it's not young, who did it? Did Mankind met things like this just like that? Science to unravel this artistic mystery...

ART GONE WEIRD

Like a fellow just painting a nice landscape, it all turned out to be like he is drawing the face of a man!!

MOVING ON...

Horses were sired with the gene of speed, anywhere on the land of the living, provided the natural order is not altered, the horse is a natural engine of speed...moving on

UNAWARE

UNAWARE

The unstoppable move
The inevitable cycle
Today shall become yesterday
Tomorrow shall be called today
The sun doesn't know Monday
The doesn't recognize Sunday
Neither percieves summer or winter
The sun shines, Earth rotates
Thus we see the day
Hour is our intelligence
Day is a nomenclature
Good days, bad days
Individually or collectively
I bet the solar system is not aware
The day as a whole is for Man
The light and dark cycle belongs to Geographical authorities
Chiefly of the sun
That is beyond the reach of humanity

THAT IS LIFE
It is the life that i'm seeing now
The life that i want to see
The life that the eyes have seen
The life that the ears have heard
What we have seen and have to say
What we have seen and said
What we have seen that turned our eyes (in dizziness)
And what we have seen but must not alter
I heard, I thought
I worried about experience
I walked on the day of journey
The new land that is white
Ehere are we going to find pure light?
where did the darkness of mind not cover
The mind of humans, now so dark
hHow are we going to live life
Concessions reached, now betrayed
Joint tasks became games
The early me really enjoyed
When traitors died of betrayal
When hypocrisy killed slaves
When curse killed thieves
When betrayal killed deceitful friends
If you say you are close to me, i'm afraid of you
If we take things more serious
The water an individual will drink shall not flow beyond him
The descendant of Onadiran!!!
And others that have seen the journey of the human race
It is life that you all are seeing



PHOTOCOPY
History is the duplicate of destiny
The direction of humanity
The bearer and the subject
Makes it look like lateral inversion
Of the mirror image from the side
Written in the unspoken language
In ink of selective visibility
Those that saw it thus couldn't read it
Those that read, couldn't translate it
We all know it exists
But the content remains mystery
But for history
We write in our tongue all mystery
We can't still define some things
But how comes that had been written
Nobody could say a thing about the book
We know not what, why, where or when of it
But we would do it to ourself
Write history to duplicate the book of fate

CASUALTY
I know everything that happened
Mysterious enough
I don't know what I did
Subject became victim
It was a mystery indeed
What I protected I can't say
I only knew I had to heed
The creator be my witness
I never meant like this
My will didn't surface
It makes my heart to bleed
This is exam period
I just had to proceed
A lot really went up
I shall drop them in the right box
I didn't play, I wasn't in the box
All over me like a pox
What soap to bath the guilt
But of the thing that i can't control

Origin, the source
Of everything and power
Just everything
Forward position
Glory of the game


BLESS ME NOW
All the things so wished for
A palace and a mobile mansion
Cool this and hot that
Shall be possessed with believe

Don't go

Now I realize
I had an impetuous one

LIFE DRAMA
Too much comedies
Countless tragedies
Tragecomdies and cometragedies
And what have we
In where have we
Genres of life drama
Not only of the play
The one you read and watch

In this case, everyone is a lead character
But not every one is aware of the story line
The location is the largest possible
The real universe in entirety
The duration is forever
It started from a time unknown
To end sometimes later
The actors were there yesterday
They find themselves here today
And would be somewhere tomorrow

Funny motions and sad moments
Every type of every scene and every being
The coverage is supernatural
The primary director, the cause of the actions
Remains as vague as the contents of destiny
Actors set destinations
But the director's will is not always in line
And the route to the target is sometimes off track
Might even be opposite in direction
The point of landing
Duration of journey
And time of arrival
Factors pulling the trigger

I wish to narrate also the end of the living drama
But it is an acute tragedy
In which all actors shall end in the show on set

WHAT OF PEACE?
What have we learnt?
What have we seen?
Now that horror persists as terror

What have we done?
What have we made?
Into how many distinctions have we splitted Mankind?

How have we fared?
Where have we been?
How far from the early men have we taken the race?

What can we do?
How can we move?
How will mother Earth look human?

What happened?
What is happening?
What will happen?

When we make peace a synonym of culture
When we join hands to fight that horror of terror
Scrutinize the other things
We are there and proceeding

But the director's will is not always in line
And the route to the target is sometimes off track
Might even be opposite in direction
The point of landing
Duration of journey

Factors pulling the trigger

I wish to narrate also the end of the living drama
But it is an acute tragedy
In which all actors shall end in the show on set

DREAMER GIRL
She lives in a world not near
She is always happy, smiling and dancing
The only reason Earth is unsafe for her
You might think she is an alien
She is just like you and me
Very real like all the things
From where she does live
She still smiles on the race
That the little children may come out to play
The life of a galaxy
Queried size
Oh you beautiful lady of the moon
You did't hear of her
But severally, i a state or so
You and even you
Must have seen the dreamer girl

WHAT OF PEACE?
What have we learnt?
What have we seen?
Now that horror persists as terror

What have we done?
What have we made?
Into how many distinctions have we splitted Mankind?

How have we fared?
Where have we been?
How far from the early men have we taken the race?

What can we do?
How can we move?
How will mother Earth look human?

What happened?
What is happening?
What will happen?

When we make peace a synonym of culture
When we join hands to fight that horror of terror
Scrutinize the other things
We are there and proceeding

CONFESSION

CONFESSION

I was born weak
Though with ample strength
In the internal realm
I say no to growing weak
Numerous things from the ghetto
It's a but
That only a little gets back home
Bests you see
Possess diamond as the backbone of hope
Another reason why
The subject should not break in time
Here, they call me this
There, they call me that
They didn't name me just like that
It's truly because I be this
Sometimes too, I be that
On the ladder of time
I climbed the years
Yet not sure what height to declare
Hurdles and the likes, some I jumped
I can't even start that, journey still on
Name for the grace, I do not know
For and from the almighty
So I beleive
This or that
Parts of the legend is bigger than the hero

YOUNG MAN

YOUNG MAN

My name is Young Man
Sometimes ago I was smaller
Now, I am stout
If you wish, you may spell out the differences
I can't see my own heart
But I can and will read it
Are you one of those
That call me Nothing
While I am Young Man
I've seen and I'm seeing
Even you have not and cannot see everything
Grossly,
Tell me your superiority over me
The something that you bear
Was nothing and no more Young Man
I won't say I'm better anyway

Yes, this is stout Young Man
Hello Mr Old Man
You know what I don't
Really yes and maybe true
When my name changes too
What if I saw a wider gamut
I listen to you Old Man
But tell me the rules
You never even got to it
Whatever we fill the box with
You and I ain't taking a step beyond terminal
Strength and weakness
Beginning and end
All must phenomena
In the story and all through
To a boundary that no one shall ever transgress

Am I even human
No, I am Young Man
And what is Young Man
Indefinite potential
Infinite prowess
The universe
And all of space is not enough
Only time is the boundary
It will never die

PHOTOCOPY

History is the duplicate of destiny
The direction of humanity
The bearer and the subject
Makes it look like lateral inversion
Of the mirror image from the side
Written in the unspoken language
In ink of selective visibility
Those that saw it thus couldn't read it
Those that read, couldn't translate it
We all know it exists
But the content remains mystery
But for history
We write in our tongue all mystery
We can't still define some things
But how comes that had been written
Nobody could say a thing about the book
We know not what, why, where or when of it
But we would do it to ourself
Write history to duplicate the book of fate

CASUALTY

CASUALTY

I know everything that happened
Mysterious enough
I don't know what I did
Subject became victim
It was a mystery indeed
What I protected I can't say
I only knew I had to heed
The creator be my witness
I never meant like this
My will didn't surface
It makes my heart to bleed
This is exam period
I just had to proceed
A lot really went up
I shall drop them in the right box
I didn't play, I wasn't in the box
All over me like a pox
What soap to bath the guilt
But of the thing that i can't control

TROUBLED

TROUBLED SEARCHER

The saying of my people
Reality that lasts
Till the end of time
They said
"Long life or no worries, you have to choose one"
See what man made himself
What we craeted with our hands
Are the reasons we are lost
The cause of the move without direction
"O pe laye, oju re koni ribi, okan ni o fowomu"
One mystery that is immortal
Is that all the worries
All the questions
All the pain
And the gain so far
Did not bring out from darkness
The definition of life
Even the shortest life is troubled
But it never made a difference
"Eni waye ko raye, eni raye ko damo"
He who looks for life doesn't see it, he who sees it doesn't recognize it
Despite all the troubles
For the short and long lives
No one ever found it

THE BEING I

Created by God
Made by Mummy
Tamed by blood
Sweat to sweet
Living by the fluid
All by the day
The smile of Mama

The frown of Papa

Both seen
The alteration of the street
The game
Origin, the source
Of everything and power
Just everything
Forward position

ADVENTURE

ADVENTURE

Wondering and wandering
One is imaginative reality
The other is adveturous roam
Through the worldly universe
That shall never get exhausted
Of events and views

There is always something to see
Something to be
Something to read
Something to write
No end to the life of mystery
It is the mother of immortality

Difference between mind and soul
Origin of creativity
One thing in one place
Changing in all grace
No viewer to alter
What is the dimension of the universe?

Yes, true
We know the shape of the planets
Where are the eyes
That saw the length and breadth of all the realms?

LOST LOVE

LOST LOVE

You did left without stating my error
I kept checking myself using the phenomenon of mirror
I engaged in things that would reflect my personality
But damn, i found nothing of negative rarity
Of course not all about me is positive
But my strength held my blunders captive
If you can't be for me, then let's be for something
At least I kept my vow that i won't lose our link to nothing
Even if I won't confess, i think these words made a depiction
Of what and what went into extinction
I did my best and I made you know
I was baffled the response was still no
You were cold but you didn't freeeze my heart
I wish for you a perfect stay on Earth
I never knew what you saw
I keep making for perfection and I won't break any law
There is no perfect being on mother Earth
I couldn't say for other planets
Maybe I would be better than what you wanted
Maybe, by nature, for us another union shall be compelled
Then, you could put your guilt beneath or above your the blame
But there will be nowhere to hide your shame
And that, salient or silent, is the end of the game

THAT IS LIFE

It is the life that i'm seeing now
The life that i want to see
The life that the eyes have seen
The life that the ears have heard
What we have seen and have to say
What we have seen and said
What we have seen that turned our eyes (in dizziness)
And what we have seen but must not alter
I heard, I thought
I worried about experience
I walked on the day of journey
The new land that is white
Ehere are we going to find pure light?
where did the darkness of mind not cover
The mind of humans, now so dark
hHow are we going to live life
Concessions reached, now betrayed
Joint tasks became games
The early me really enjoyed
When traitors died of betrayal
When hypocrisy killed slaves
When curse killed thieves
When betrayal killed deceitful friends
If you say you are close to me, i'm afraid of you
If we take things more serious
The water an individual will drink shall not flow beyond him
The descendant of Onadiran!!!
And others that have seen the journey of the human race
It is life that you all are seeing

LIFE DRAMA

LIFE DRAMA

Too much comedies
Countless tragedies
Tragecomdies and cometragedies
And what have we
In where have we
Genres of life drama
Not only of the play
The one you read and watch

In this case, everyone is a lead character
But not every one is aware of the story line
The location is the largest possible
The real universe in entirety
The duration is forever
It started from a time unknown
To end sometimes later
The actors were there yesterday
They find themselves here today
And would be somewhere tomorrow

Funny motions and sad moments
Every type of every scene and every being
The coverage is supernatural
The primary director, the cause of the actions
Remains as vague as the contents of destiny
Actors set destinations
But the director's will is not always in line
And the route to the target is sometimes off track
Might even be opposite in direction
The point of landing
Duration of journey
And time of arrival
Factors pulling the trigger

I wish to narrate also the end of the living drama
But it is an acute tragedy
In which all actors shall end in the show on set

Gone are the days
In which tradition rules
The laws themselves
Holy like the angels
The enforcers
Were the wings
Up in the sky
Decency and righteousness fly

Africa my Africa
Why did she allowed this?
For the people of Africa
It was physical slavery
Now all madness and sorts
Flow into mother Africa
It is mental slavery
White western sociality
In the black man's land

I declare in words
That we sscrutinize all from the west
Pick good and drop otherwise
Phat we stand as a nation
That the youth of today
Beholders of light
Restore the glory of Africa
Starting by re-establishing the moral stands
That our forefathers built

BLACK NOVEMBER

BLOOD SHORE (BLACK NOVEMBER)

The Nigerian delta, her people
Where blessings oozes out like a curse
Ravaging good on land and in water
The Niger deltans, my brothers and sisters
One love from Ayomide
They even had earlier contact
With the white children of the falling angel
A mighty pity indeed
Their blessing, our blessing, their lone curse
Fight hard they did
In the name of military army and police
Nigerians fight Nigerians
The white devils had a reason
Using the word ape
But specifically for those
The cold blood of Dede in Ebiere's hands
Mothers and their children forced to hell
Good deeds hath they did not count
And chiefs proceeded axing the future
Until Ebiere chose to die for all
The hero you blessed us with
Oh you goddess Ebiere
Heroes and heroines ahead and away
Greet the angels thus; IGBO KWENU!!!

PRETTY NEEDY PHOTO QUOTE

Ko seni to pe tan

PRETTY NEEDY

PRETTY NEEDY

Perfect imperfection
No one is complete
Man so seek redemption
From this state
But is there a solution?
To this inevitable regular feat
I guess the existence of emotion
That we be linked by it
Love is the notion
For ones in it
Irony of evolution
Like its now for bandits
No one is with everything
But each of Man is with something
What you don't have is something
In excessive abundance with someone
Who possibly needs someone
With just a taint of your own plenty thing
So when the door bell rings
Open it with affection calmly
Everybody needs somebody

HOME ZONE

HOME ZONE

Holiday is coming...
An intense feeling now
But that nursery rhyme?
Not from the lips of big fellas

The space shall soon be killed
Like no more of the holy days
A stint out of race
To get a tincture of shalom

Deeply
Wish of immortality
In a state of nothing to do
Contrary to the natural blueprint

Mama and Papa
Soften the set up of the abode
By any of the three means
Somewhere exactly or like home is our next destination

EXAMINATION TIME

EXAMINATION TIME

The nation we fear the most
The brain back in contention
What else to send through the post
Than this state of tension
Living or ghost
From any being we seek redemption
Anxiety plus fear, emotional roast
We call it exam tension
We can't define being just
There is too much of desperation
Best of luck to the host
Our immortal zealous intention

Cranial contents through the hands
In whatever way they land
May they be the judge's brand

God almighty, the kind
Bless the fruits of our minds
With the perfect remind

When we are back to check the burst
May the honor be robust

TOXIC

TOXIC

As for the weak
Nobody knows you
It is the time in which
You are small to sight
In the possession of strength
The locality might silence
The voice of the strong
For poverty, the poor
No matter how loud
They talk or not
Their utterance is silent
Talk of wealth, richdom
They want to buy something
With all of it

Careless, they are and you should
About the source of the blessings
Follow the streak of state
In case of being powerful
Young or old
Weak or strong
Poor or rich
This or that
Everyone is after you
The consumable item
With the widest ranging
Phenomenal and/or material price
And elevating effect on the ego
High sensitivity and reactivity
Is the wine of power

CIVILIZATION TECHNOLOGY

CIVILIZATION TECHNOLOGY

In the name of technology
In conjunction with civilization
The entirety of our world
Is now a smaller place
And getting smaller with time
What was done there
Is now down from here
And little by little
Nations flow into one another
Culture and finance intermingling

Maybe humanity has no choice
It seems we won't be here today
If not for these things
Origin and destination
The core of the confusion
All of these in our way
Did we brought these or they came
Unpalatable questions
Will Man bring the end also?
Or that one too will come ?
Things getting easier
Life getting sweeter
Man getting wiser
Is mother Earth getting stronger too?
If Man is going in oblivion
Then there is always light
At the end of the tunnel

Owners of all in today
Prayer is them not to go astray
Certainly all you may

Army of fate
Movement of faith

Their strive all the days
Brains and brawn
Bless 'em all

In all that we seek

Be what you want to be
Forever and whatever
Life will get better
All is not to banter
Nothing lasts forever
Destiny won't ever say never
Fear not blunder
No man was declared perfect
Then, fear not to select
First, don't wait for guide
Just get on the ride
Just get off your pride
That you won't fall in the end
Whatever you wish to bend
Keep up and don't be bent
If supreme fate takes control
With the orders of kismet just roll
But one thing for me and you dear
It's not all that you dare
Live to fight another day
Whatever you be, whichever way
Positivity takes entire life forward

Make your story
Not a journey of money
Oh the young and stout
Move right and tight
There is enough crime of dime
In one school of thought
Cash and wealth seeks you
When all interest is in what one does

It's a very very long story
Here and there and all about
All in search of things of zeal
Just be keen in the quest
The day itself will bring your wish
The wonder, the bother
About which day it is going to be
Apparently needless
The day or night
Coming or going or not either
Sooner or later
Destiny devours it all

What's same there?
The movement of the pendulum
One endless to and fro
The phenomenon remains what it is
But the going shall never stop
Live in it, die in it
Yes, live in yours
Die after your time
Then while here
Think to live
Live to think
Way forward
For the weaklings
To drag good and evil
In the right quantity
Oh my heart
The best of thoughts
And the thoughts of the best of men
Is the thought of live
How to make mother Earth a paradise
As in make other planets jealous of their sister
Not the way of power
Not the beat for blood
So far the Earth is beating
Humanity shouldn't be beaten

The end of one
The beginning of another
Now define it
Taking note of it's infinity
The blessing of the holy ways
The curse of fleshy zeals
The mixture of happenings
Seeming with no ending
Our prediction about tomorrow
Whether right or acutely wrong
Never stopping it from coming up
Time and the elements
Spinning on the imagination
Regardless of being unaware
No matter, whatever
That's going or coming
Everything
Keep coming ad going
The prophesized end
Is coming to the continuity
Of life as a whole and it's content
Nothing would stop

To be there while i'm here

LITERATURE OF CLIMATE

LITERATURE OF CLIMATE

Agree we are not here
Let's say no trees and no plants
Mobile or static
Let's assume there is no life

The wind would blow
Fire would burn
Water would rise and fall
All on Earth
Nothing would go wrong with the elements
The best determinants of climate

Life affects weather much
This is best defined
In the effects of the living on the elements
If all of life would leave for good
This place would still survive

In one way or another
If a rock would hit another
There shall be a spark
Water would flow through mother Earth
And the breeze would keep her calm

Let's say we all exist
Animals and plants of all sorts
In these forms that we know
In the absence of the elements
How would one hold a pen
To define climate in written expressions
If you would live long enough
To think of where you are in the first place

He appeared suddenly
On a sudden afternoon
Little truth and and small lie
Made up the funny scene
Of course as a street don
Tested with immediate run
He queried my trial
Little truth
He almost caught me
But I am not a liar
Personal protest to being fooled

We can't be like this
For the rest of time
Let the world be clean
And the link be pure
Do not try the astrals
For things like this
I wish you the luck you deserve
Nothing more

Peace to the soul of the doers
Bless the words that lived up to now
Bless the stoes and water
Bless the fire that made them
And the air that kept them
Bless all of the elements

From their answers, we built the day
Their thoughts attained a living form
Only to give birth to technology and die
Good enough, no soul created can be destroyed
The world is seemingly forever under construction
It didn't start today
It started when they gave answers
To the dreaded questions of that time
Building Earth would cease
As soon as this generation fails
On the path of the early men
To query the meaning of life
In as much as the human sense and strength would cover

COMING BACK

COMING BACK

*Ori rere bi ti irere
(Soft luck like the being of luck - irere)
So much ecstasy
Despite being so mazy
So we have enjoyed
So much ecstatsy
In this world so vague
If we saw today
We'd have made better hay
What is lasting for how long?

*Bi ileke ba ja kii pe mo
(When a bead line cuts, it ain't usually found complete again)
Back to where we came from
The beatiful houses en route
Became slums
In comparison
The definition of the disparity
Is the echo of mixed voices
The sound of joy and pain
Those sweet days and what we can't do today

*Yoruba expresssion

THE ILLUSION

THE ILLUSION

This is not just the beginning
This is not how it was built
Parts of Rome already faded away
Chips went off the statue
The present view
By nomenclature
Is the illusion

We are no longer seeing
What the early men saw
Something like we won't ever do
Perhaps it's another factor
That brought the variance
And held the anomaly

THE TWO OF US

THE TWO OF US

We want to be the authority
But we lost control over ourselves
What then a mighty pity
And how far shall this delve
We now hear of the treaty
So far we've been deaf
For the good that we see
We seek control over self
Unsaid but heard, not ye
But the curse is for themselves
We were made to be
No matter how deep is the cleft

WHAT I WOULD MISS

WHAT I WOULD MISS...

I would miss the birds singing
As the sun began to rise
Then watch it setting
In our beautiful skies
I would miss the four seasons
For so many different reasons
I would miss my family and friends
When life on Earth ends

When we are gone
I'd really really miss this place
There would be no more of these
Funny things that I used to hear
All the crazy things that we used to see
When we are gone
No more me and you and stories alike
Like we should turn elemental like water
That's got no enemy

About how we would live there
Only prophecies we hear
Actually,
Some things here really worth missing
And some others
Not perceiving them anymore
Would make difference anyway
When we depart
We won't be what we used to be
That, the one thing
Very certain about all of this
This human form now becomes
The cause of the miss

WHAT A MIGHTY PITY

WHAT A MIGHTY PITY

I heard hell is empty
That the devils are here

Out of honesty
Serenity has no heir

What a mighty pity
Mother Earth could only glare

We snatched her integrity
Such how could you dare

You terminated beauty
Oh you shameless there

I mean no abusive treaty
With whatever you bear

Let your head be empty
About here and there

All that is in history
And the things that you now hear

Many birds and trees in variety
But just a sun and one atmosphere

It's the same blood in all arteries
And we are the only ones here

I say let us live in unity
What do you hear

The world as one big society
Maybe even the gods would be scared

So as said early
Let's unify and define the universe and our world

FORWARD

FORWARD

Things will only get better
The light will only shine brighter
We will only find ourselves there
A day will come here
That we will no longer shed tears
For all the things we had to bear
Though would never disappear
But only be thin as a blood smear

The voice will only get louder
We will only run faster
Take off only to fly higher
No more element bender
Like true men, stand stronger
There will only be better fortune benders

Holy words will only become answered prayers
Even without war, there will be better fighters
Together, Mankind would be greater
We will only get taller
Legs may get thinner
Life will only get newer
As we wish and as it appears
Things will only get better

NOWHERE

NOWHERE

When I was born
Synonymous to man
Tears took path on my cheeks
Inside of it
The things that I perceived
But could not express
My joy and pains all in the fluid
I wish a drop was kept for me
Now, maybe I would read from it
What it looked like at the onset
Of existence on Earth
When something goes wrong today
I and we feel sour
We would take time to cry again
But nothing from those days
As sweet as they were
Where is the first tear that dropped?
Life we live hastens against time
No matter how sweet or sour
Whatever we feel
Should be as sweet as when it is
And let it go when otherwise
All of it is less than temporary
The direction of things shouldn't pull one apart
Where is all of yesterday?
What are we going to call today
Tomorrow holds the thoughts
Everything is coming again
Where is it?
Good, bad, sweet or bitter
Where is all of yesterday?

SCHOOL BOY

#SchoolBoyLife

Ups and downs
Manipulating life all over
Existence on another page
The book itself missing
Or say it doesn't have a cover

Drifting towards a new life
Another syndrome
After suffering from no time
Human - Alien - Human
Immortal life cycle of mortal

Super, simple and tolerant
No matter what, we go
We might be back, according to kismet
Only Holy living being
What criteria to ascertain the disparity

To the new Man land
To the new Earth
Least individual paradise
Help humanity Oh creator
Through them and others in this order

WHEN YOU...

WHEN YOU...

When you don't lie, you are not right
When you feel shy, something is bad
When you speak truth, you may not last
When you feel good, you need keep mute

When you you go on, you drop and pick things
When you leave but can't return, you are not the first
When you come from nowhere, the welcome is less

When you are vague, you are cumbersome
When you are clear, you you are strict
When you make mistakes, you are foolish
When you aim perfection, you are too far
When you run, you are too fast
When you walk, you are too slow
When you are poor, you are stupid
When you get rich, idiocy equates wisdom

When you do things, there is a reason and/or meaning
Sometimes, somebody or some bodies read contrary cause and/or effect
Funny enough about life drama
Sometimes they are correct but some other times wrong
