TURTLE US (Devin Austin)

To my buddy dauda happy birthday homie  here is my awesome birthday gift to an old song I made about turtles

Turtle us.

Few friends  of mine and i have a  passion   with this hard  core animal  so let me share my  real obession on this maginfcent   creature of  a turtle.
 Why  i am  in love with a turtle   because   he lives in a slow  pace at life  especially  in this all fast race, honestly i dont know how i feel  about it im just merely trying  to make my into  a fun blast  but oh well   im still willing to chill with my inner circle of friends  while they are all having the time of their lives. All i want to do is express my inner turtle   ha ha.
As  a turtle  were all cute awesome   and very sweet   we  try  to  meet other people like us, that are also in hiding of our  inner minds of a shell while  riding or homies and creative sides, while swiming in the big waves that tides us to both  our club and imagination.   This poem craves me to want to  be smooth like mr nice swell turtle. so i invite you to come over and dwell in our inner shell of this turtule club!

Ahmed Gbolahan Ahmed in 5 minutes on youth (fastest)

My youth ma life
My love my wife
Return me to my past.
for the past has a story to tell
My youth has a story to say
The past has a story to teach
The past a lesson to learn
In to the present
Into the future
With success and hope

Haneef Celique in 14 minutes on poetry

Where power is bestowed on the fingers.
Where blood flow instead of ink.
When we see with the heart and not the eyes.
When we feel with the mind and not a single touch.
The feeling of sedentary in an unhealthy lethargy.
The feeling of hibiscus growing in different colours in the heart.
The merry of butterflies in the stomach.
This is poetry, where we write with the hearts in every condition.
This is poetry where we bring out the light in us and silver magic of our dexterity.

Heart Vs Brain by Hameed Sodiq (Sidex)

THE HEART, THE MOST VITAL.
The heart as often said, is a muscle whose job is to pump blood 100,000 times a day to all organs of the body. It is a vital but simple bag of fleshy fibres that responds to external nerves and hormones to help with flight or fight response in order to maintain homeostasis. However, new research is showing that the heart controls the brain much more than previously thought.

WW III: WIZARD OF ORDER

MY VISION

Where the mountains touch the sky,
Where poets dream, where eagles fly,
A secret place above the crowd,
Just beneath a silver-lined cloud.

Lift your eyes to a snowy peak,
And see the soon-to-be we seek.
Whisper dreams and let them rise,
To the mountains old and wise.

Climbers climb, it's time to try,
Where the mountains touch the sky.
Take me there. Oh take me now,
Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow.

Where the ocean meets the sky,
Where mermaid dance, where seagulls fly,
A place in dreams I know so well,
The sea inside a single shell.

Far across the living sea,
A pale blue possibility,
Beyond the castles made of sand,
Tomorrow I say is in a small child's hand.

Ahmad Gbolahan Ahmad,

To the end...

TO THE END!

How we are living, we can't say
Life, we can't adjudicate
A lamp can't see it's own base
It can't be any other way
Life ain't cushy to give away
Heedless of the state of stay

Living ain't simple as life
Life is in stages
Hope is the theme
When one gets to any bridge
One will cross it
Until the soul...
Crosses the bridge of death

Similar pipes and probably similar likes
Different homes and probably different poles
Similar quest and probably similar bests

With the best of all weapons and the swiftest of all talents
To elegantly ink views
Painting them from the palette of the mind
To leave imprints
One that is louder than the loudest voice

With friends to word-bloom
Fortnightly is going to be our new moon
With one winner to always boom

VARIATION

VARIATION
The day will soon be over
and the night will take over.
The dotless skin will get folds.
Time-smile induced
physical incapabilities.
What a transition?!
Courtesy of time.

These are the words;
while you can, please do,
while you are, please be.
The redolence or rancor of old age
shan't be tasted by all.

But then, night is not the end of time.
Again, the day will come over
bringing forth yesterday in deeds
making the cycle complete in its characteristics.
Here or hereafter,
today haunts tomorrow.

Today answers the call of yesterday
and so shall tomorrow honor today
until there is no day again when
the day and night will be dark.
In honor of Mathematics,
the mother of science,
''there is direct variation between
deeds and rewards with the circle of light
as the constant''.

ROMEO AND JULIET

ROMEO AND JULIET

There is a pain in my head.
Striking my heart so hard,
my mind aches so immensely.
I have tried but I can't blend.
The moments of ache agonizes.

It's not of beauty and the beast,
it's another Romeo and Juliet.
Love was found at the other side
of religious barrier.
Ambient situations lead to dead end.

Love is not wild
so no need to tame.
It's enough condition
to tear the boundary
only if the will
is not negative on the scale.

How I wish for fulfillment
of my friendvs desire.
How I wish we live
in a world of no religion.
How I wish we thrive
in light of The Almighty
without path partition
unto The Supreme Being.

Any moment it strikes,
it hurts my mind
just like it did the last time
all of the time afresh.
I can't deal with it,
I can only hope
that Asfiya's next life proposal
be approved by The Almighty
that her other half
may exist in religious unison with her.

SHAMBLES

SHAMBLES
Making how many messengers,
making how many prophets,
making how many prophecies,
making how many warnings,
making how many signs
have thus been sent to humanity
from the realms of supreme divinity?

Instead of choosing tranquillity
and positive quest for prosperity
and other things that shall usher the race to grace,
Humans created partitions
out of the messages received - religion,
then allowed the greed we perceive - social class
also drew line of skin color - racism
and so the natural order was naturally compromised.

Humans running a non-human race
on the greatest sphere in existence,
the track is bound to be shambles...

DANGER WITH STRANGER

DANGER WITH STRANGER

Can you shake the ground?
Will you lift the thrones?
Shall we make everything go away?

Bear the pain, will you?
Take a cut, can you?
As we make everything go away.

Devour the beast, can you?
Nurse a monster, will you?
Retain vengeance to evoke revenge, shall we?

Sink in danger with a stranger, can you?
Convenant of truth, truth of the curse,
the outer meager me and inner boundless being.

Deny thy identity yet retain personality, will you?
All the way until our days, be with me, will you?
I will squash the past that we may live in our time
as we consummate my mission, now ours
as you accede.

Along the cycle of existence,
will you elevate my path of nature?
Lets make everything go away
then let life in paradise commence.

GHETTO TEMPO II; PHOENIX

GHETTO TEMPO II: PHOENIX

The eyes that have seen paradise,
the twin brother of hell.
It's not another entity,
just another sight,
dark ere, now light.

Past, future and present fight,
the inevitably altered order
for time ahead so bright
in natural borders.

Born in the gutters,
rose to the plains,
looked out to the horizon
holding bread without butter
in worries and pain.

Is thy fate sealed or abandoned?
Even when down to the ash
like Phoenix, the fire bird
so must thou resurrect.

Attila the Hun fell in Chalons.
History went with many a batallion.
Ascension stalking descendance...
This battle is one which cannot be lost.
Nevertheless or nonethemore,
ghetto soldiers claim victory over defeat.

HEAVY FEATHER

HEAVY FEATHER
Like a cow with bloat,
they possess distended sense of person
filled with gases of harm,
thoughts with false wings
and head that takes them to the sky.
The falsified illusion of being,
negativity to worsen the likes,
celebrity in art or art of celebrity,
politician or leader by nomenclature
is what they call themselves.

Humility lightens the path itself
that the subject may know where to step,
ego raises that light and
you see your destination
but pride goes before a fall.
Ile nyo* (watch your steps),
death shall meet the (sluggish) chameleon
just as it will catch a (jumping) frog.

BROKEN

BROKEN
I see it.
I see the pain thriving in your heart.
I see invisible tears rolling down your cheeks.
I see frustration emanating at peak.

I see it.
I see your urge for liberation from the past.
I see every single feeling you wish to cast.
I see it's a mixture and that's why it lasts.

I see it, yes, I see it.
I see everything in your smelly creed.
You still wonder, ''what came in through which creek?''
You still wonder how it brought you ease, again make you bleed.

Now I see your pieces, I see it.
You were broken, I see what it is.
It's a journey, you shall meet a lasting bliss.
One that will lead and never make you hiss.
Life might just bring it, better still, go for it.

HALL OF MYSTERY

HALL OF MYSTERY
The home of irony
with blissful occupants in agony.
Every spot with different melody,
here, dancing is a compulsory affair
and thou shalt not live in fear.
Whether or not the supreme judge is fair
thou cannot declare because his judgement
just like that of a common judge
is in favor of some and hostile to some.

Confusion is the theme of the day
as there are different tunes from every corner.
Which to dance to?
This remains the question on board.

The world is life, life is a mystery
and it doesn't belong to anybody
but there is an exception,
a case in which the assortment
of tunes forms a beat
and a fellow dances right,
the fellow in question
fall into a famous and/or wealthy contention
though it doesn't last till the end
of the celebration.

We are all here,
 except the one in charge,
he chose to stay afar
and watch the party
in the roofless hall of mystery.

I CAN

I AM ABLE
There is ability in disability,
great upset in naturality,
a light that even the blind could se,
a sound that even the deaf could hear,
these are situation-depenedent phenomena.

Now, watch it well, on the average
if hearing isn't lost, the blind hears better;
if eyes retain activity, the deaf sees better;
with working forelimbs, the legless does all things with hands
and I watched one handless man cook a meal with the hindlimbs.

There is ability in disabilities that are real,
bizarre realities depending on what have we,
induced hyper-functionality this is,
in some cases of the reality.
The ambiguity of the man entity
is inexhaustible so to reveal,
the limits of humanity really seem
to have no seal,
the more it is pushed,
more is unconcealed.
If one can't do this, he may do that better.
A better world for all is all that matters.

FOCUS

FOCUS

On the same or different lanes,
we burn the same or different flames
in different or same ways.
A thing of benefit to me might harm you
and vice versa and so it goes.
If it earns me a dime, it could fetch you a thousand.
If it accelerates me, it could match on your brake.
Yet the possibility is on the high side
that we all get a grip of the wreath
provided that despite the pull and push,
the fall and rise, focus is not compromised.

CONSPIRACY

CONSPIRACY
I sense conspiracy,
what do you perceive?
Light immediately after darkness,
what was it doing underneath?
What turned into what?

The reason why they connive
is the subject of query.
Why is the light at the end of the tunnel?
Mostly, it is sweat before sweet,
why not sweet all through or otherwise?

Why must man suffer to survive?
Is this truely nature's plan
or a blueprint of an alien force?
There is a situation,
everybody thinks I'm breaking
but what have we done
to deserve this trouble making?

SECOND HALF

SECOND HALF

The denominator of a quarter in years ago,
I departed my comfort zone
for arrival at war zone,
a giant stride towards the throne.
On that day, in my Mama's face,
I saw the assortment of feelings:
joy; my boy is becoming a man,
fear; Dauda is going to stay away,
her first son will be a lone ranger
over 800Kms away from her,
I felt the motherly pull.

My own heart, heavy as metal
as for the first time I would be out for real,
time to claim Okunrin Ogun.
All the words, all the past
running through my tiny mind.
Unlike here, there I can't be blind
not at all, else I would lag behind.
Nobody to lead, it's a dangerous climb.
But then I remembered a man told me
'if you don't get lost, you won't find yourself'.

So I left and here I came,
I am here, this I always remind God.
Vulnerable as possible,
I don't want to be visible
so I hid myself inside pretense
my moves I made so intense
bearing at heart, this is not home.
Suffered all I should,
did all I could,
some believed I was crude.

In the year after the second,
I pulled my sister, blood bond
seems I am gaining momentum.
Be a doctor, be a poet,
be the best you can of a Vet,
be the best not the rest.

The usual theme of life,
friends and foes, so I made
as well acquired the syndrome,
the No Time Phantom.
The seat of the caliphate here I am
claiming my fate.
I got myself a sister,
I got myself brothers and
my point of arrival no longer matter...
According to the number of years
I have in the affair,
this is the second half
and I see enough around me ...

BI (IF) - translated

BI
Bi aye ba ye mi, n ba ti ye woye
Bi eda ba mo ojo ti yi o la,
eda o bati ye foni sare ola nitori ola
Bi eda ba mo ojo iku
ti o mo ojo ti o ku
eda o ba sise siseku
Bi eda ba mo ode aremabo
eda o bama ku boro
tori lojo ina eda o ni rina
nitoripe eda ti riran

Bi aye ba ye mi, n ba ti ye woye
Bi igba ba gbami, n ba ti ye sa gbami gbami
Bi mo ba maye, n ba ti ye waye
Bi eda ba mo ona ko ma ni sonu

Eledumare wa petemi ni ire
Bi mo ba sare tabi mo rin gbere
ki ona mi sati jasire

IF
If I understood life, i'd have stopped contemplating
If man knew when he'll make it
he'd have desisted from running for wealthy future
If man knew when he'll die
and how many days he has left
he'd have been striving not to vanish completely
If man knew his journey of no return
he'd not die in time (live longer)
because on the day of woe, he won't walk
because he had seen

If I understood life, i'd have stopped stopped contemplating
If time saved me, I'd have stopped running helter skelter
If I knew life, I'd have stopped the quest
If man knew the way, he won't get lost

God, pronoune me successful
Whether I run or walk slowly
my path should just lead to success

GAOLER

GAOLER

I am my own prisoner
I live in my own mind
I roll on my own lane
I do only what I command
I am what I please
When kismet take over
I please what I am

Besides me, only destiny hold authority
I am my own self
I am the lord of my world
I rule what and how I want
In fact, it had been just me and my fate
Together with all my perfect imperfections
As the entity in control
I am my own prisoner
And the universe is my yard
Every individual in my way is an inmate
Welcome to my world

DEATH???

WHAT COMES TO YOUR MIND WHEN YOU REMEMBER DEATH IS INEVITABLE?
Here, I wish humans don't have to die in the first place but now that we have to I just wish to have a good place in paradise at the mercy of Allah cos I know I may never have enough rewards on good deeds to earn me the place. As to my presence here, I the past and what I have done is gone so Iake efforts to be good to all that comes my way that karma may fight for me positively in the end.

WRITTEN PATH: DIVERSITY

WRITTEN PATH: DIVERSITY
Bird for the sky
Fish for water
Train for the rail
Car for the road
The wild in the forest
The tamed all around
Me on my lane
You on your path
So we make impact
Separate color for each dart
Just as in their target
Diversity in efforts
be an inevitable trend
to meet individual ends
For a car on the rail
For a fish in the sky
When divinity is not compromised
It's an appreciable desperacy
But for the subject
It's an end en route to the ends
At least there will be ghastly spoils
Consciously or in oblivion
When the subject faces another fate
